«The idea of seeing you here is enough to make the sweat go cold»

Turner & Kane era el primer nombre que se barajaba cuando se anunció que Alex Turner y Miles Kane trabajarían juntos en un proyecto, hace ya más de un año.  Finalmente se dijo que serían The Last Shadow Puppets y su disco y primer single se llamarían The Age of the Understatement.  Por ahí, alguien en la presna los acuso de pretenciosos.  Un año después, solo queda el comentario de  «que buen disco».

The Last Shadow Puppets – The Age Of The Understatement

Decided to sneak off away
From your stomach and try your pulse
Encaptured what seemed all unknowing
And candid but they suspected it was false

She’s playful, the boring would warn you
Be careful of her brigade
In order to tame this relentless marauder
Move away from the parade
And she was walking on the tables in the glasshouse
And verily bedraggled in the wind
Subtle in her method of seduction
Twenty little tragedies begin

And she would throw a feather bower in the road
If she thought that it would set the scene
Unfittingly dipped into your companions
Enlightened them to make you see

And there’s affection to rent
The age of the understatement
Before the attraction ferments
Kiss me properly and pull me apart
Affection to rent
The age of the understatement
But before this attraction ferments
Kiss me properly and pull me apart

And my fingers scratch at my hair
Before my mind can get too reckless
The idea of seeing you here
Is enough to make the sweat go cold
