A song from Arctic Monkeys' 2006 album "Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not". It remains a fan favourite and helped popularise the Yorkshire word ‘mardy’, meaning sulky or uncooperative.
He argues with his girlfriend (or lover) who is simply not having it and being mardy with him; in the choruses he recollects the beginning of the relationship, comparing it to how moody she’s acting in the verses.
The charm of the song lies in the fact that there is no consoling a woman who has already made up her mind; i.e. who’s got the face on.
