Alex Turner’s favourite song on the album, “This House is a Circus” is the eighth track on the Arctic Monkeys' album "Favourite Worst Nightmare". This track depicts the wild night life of a young rockstar, where lines become blurred and social etiquette becomes a vague memory. The song describes party/night life in a way that emphasizes the reality of what goes on outside one’s perception as a participant. The lacking memories, social embarrassments and imbibing all leads up to revealing admission of unfulfillment, revealing the emptiness and short lived pleasure of a wild night.
Like several of the other tracks on the album, the track is also musically much more ambitious than the group’s earlier work, using more intricate arrangements, heavy guitar tones and experimental song structure.
