This House Is a Circus

about this song

Alex Turner’s favourite song on the album, “This House is a Circus” is the eighth track on the Arctic Monkeys' album "Favourite Worst Nightmare". This track depicts the wild night life of a young rockstar, where lines become blurred and social etiquette becomes a vague memory. The song describes party/night life in a way that emphasizes the reality of what goes on outside one’s perception as a participant. The lacking memories, social embarrassments and imbibing all leads up to revealing admission of unfulfillment
