Lyrics

Well, I'm so glad they turned us all away, we'll put it down to fate

“From the Ritz to the Rubble” is the twelfth song on Arctic Monkey’s first album Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not. Like many of the songs on the album, it follows a clubbing experience in Sheffield. In this song, Alex Turner gets turned away from a club and hooks up anyway. “The Ritz” is a live music venue in Manchester. Since the bouncers are aggressive, Alex may be describing his journey through the lines at The Ritz to the rubble when a bouncer decides to “give him a duff.” View wiki
