Discover the story of the song > A Certain Romance – Arctic Monkeys

The song is about a place where there isn't any romance and the people there don't want to listen to anyone who thinks differently. The protagonist talks about how the people in this kind of place wear things like beat-up shoes and pants tucked into socks, and they think it's okay to act like a jerk when they've had a few drinks. However, the protagonist doesn't want to be a part of this and won't go along with it. Even though the protagonist has friends from this kind of place, they still feel like they can't get angry in the same way as those people.
