Arctic Monkeys "The Jeweller's Hands" letra

The Jeweller's Hands

Fiendish wonder in the carnival's wakeDull caresses once again irritateTread softly strangerMove over toward the danger that you seek

You think excitement has receded, then the mirror distractsThe logic of the trance quickly reaches and graspsHandsome and facelessAnd weightless your imagination runs

And now it's no one's fault but yoursAt the foot of the house of cardsYou thought you'd never get obsessedYou thought the wolves would be impressedAnd you're a sinking stoneBut you know what it's like to hold the jeweller's handsThat procession of pioneers all drowned

In the moonlight they're more thrillingThose things that he knowsAs he leads you through the grinning bubble-blowers in the snowWatching his exit was like falling off the ferry in the night

The inevitables gather to push you aroundAny other voice makes such a punishing soundHe became laughter's assassinShortly after he showed you what it was

And now it's no one's fault but yoursAt the foot of the house of cardsYou thought you'd never get obsessedYou thought the wolves would be impressedAnd you're a sinking stoneBut you know what it's like to hold the jeweller's handsThat procession of pioneers all drowned

If you've a lesson to teach meI'm listening, ready to learnThere's no one here to police meI'm sinking in until the return

If you've a lesson to teach, pleaseDon't deviate, don't be afraidWithout the last corner piece I can't calibrateLet's get it engraved

If you've a lesson to teach meI'm listening, ready to learnThere's no one here to police meI'm sinking in until the return

If you've a lesson to teach, pleaseDon't deviate, don't be afraidWithout the last corner piece I can't calibrateLet's get it engraved

If you've a lesson to teach meI'm listening, ready to learnThere's no one here to police meI'm sinking in until the return

If you've a lesson to teach, pleaseDon't deviate, don't be afraidWithout the last corner piece I can't calibrateLet's get it engraved

Las manos del joyero

Diabólica maravilla en el despertar del carnavalCaricias apagadas irritan de nuevoPisa flojo, extrañoMuévete hacia el peligro que buscas

Crees que el entusiasmo ha desaparecido entonces el espejo distraeLa lógica del trance llega rápidamente y se agarraBonita y anónima e ingrávida corre tu imaginación

Y ahora no es culpa de nadie sino tuya, al pie del castillo de cartasPensabas que nunca te obsesionaríasPensabas que los lobos estarían impresionadosY eres una piedra que se hundePero sabes lo que es cogerle las manos al joyeroEsa procesión de pioneros todos ahogados

A la luz de la luna las cosas que sabe son más emocionantesMientras te lleva a través de los sonrientes sopladores de burbujas en la nieveVer su salida fue como caerse del ferry de noche

Los inevitables se amontonan para zarandearteCualquier otra voz hace ese sonido castigadorSe convirtió en la risa del asesino poco después de que te enseñara lo que era

Y ahora no es culpa de nadie sino tuya, al pie del castillo de cartasPensabas que nunca te obsesionaríasPensabas que los lobos estarían impresionadosY eres una piedra que se hundePero sabes lo que es cogerle las manos al joyeroEsa procesión de pioneros todos ahogados

Si tienes una lección que darme, te escucho listo para aprenderNo hay nadie para supervisarme, me hundo hasta la vueltaSi tienes una lección que darme no te desvíes, no tengas miedoSin la última pieza de la esquina no puedo calibrar, grabémoslo.
