He reverences marijuana at the beginning "I only bought three, what you lookin at me for" and in the middle "spillin amaretto cause of previous joints" and then cocaine later "fortunate placin, proceed to railin' racket off a porcelain basin." Thinkin the other guys weren't into blow when he was, and its kind of a secretive thing with this girl he met at the wedding in the song. Still, amazing song. Those things do happen and it sounded like they had a fun night in the song and the bride got over her nerves. :)
One of my old friends used to listen to this band, even went to one of their live shows when they were just sprouting up back in the early 2010s. He’s not with us anymore. I’m still bumping this album, Carlos. Miss you, bro.
This song makes me want to wake up at 4:00 when its dark and just randomly walk around my downtown area. And just walk alone but happy at what I see and how cold it is. That's all I can think of right now. Thanks, Molly
I actually couldn't sleep one night and so I went outside to my front yard and played this over and over and when the sun rose it literally felt like i was the only one in the world... and then the neighbors started to wake up and the birds started chirping so I turned it off and went inside but listening to this song over and over all night was such a private experience because it felt like the rest of the world was sleeping and the world felt quiet and everything was at peace, even though it was just for a moment.
Didn't really get around this song until I saw them live for the second time. When it all goes black, and the drums light up every time there hit, then Matty starts singing ! So gooodd, absolute tuneee
Mallory Foshizzle i honestly listened to this song for the first time just now. the intro is so serene, but then they just come crashing in with the vocals. great song! i just wish the would've stuck with that vibe for the whole song
I used to listen to this whole album driving to school for my night classes in downtown Milwaukee. Something about this entire album and night driving through a city at a coming of age time in life just hits different.
The fact that Matty and George was smoking and drinking as the melody played, at the concert. That was seriously everything. Everyone was dacing to the beat and smiling. best concert
I find this song and the rest of their music to be very relaxing. I listen to this song every morning driving to school and it's just so calming and peaceful.
Prefer this so much to Love Me. This seems to have so much thought and meaning behind it. By far the best song on this album. Learned all the lyrics in one day. X
Love Me actually made me take the 1975 more seriously, tbh. Like before I just took them for granted, but if the lyrics in that song are very self aware. Although I admit this is my favourite song.
"Who's he, giving you the lips? I've never seen him knockin about. He looks just like me, but 6 foot 3, so I reckon you could knock him out." Love love love them, so excited to see them next month
I bought this album and my first Hi-Fi on the same night on Black Friday a few years ago. No album has made me cry since. It's instrumental, heart warming and heart-breaking all in one. It shaped me but being a kid, isn't that what music does?
Il tell you a story. My friends and I were rowing across the mediterranean for a charity event we decided to do. As it got dark and the night sky lit up totally free of light pollution. We looked up and witnessed the incredible Milky Way in all its glory. As we all gazed in awe at the night sky, a whales blowhole made us jump and excited. At this very moment, menswear came on the speaker in a poetic moment which left us all speechless. To this day I think it sounds like whale music and was part of the most special moment of my life. Who knew a song about cocaine at a wedding could be so magical.
"Well I only brought 3, what you lookin' at me for?" She's dressed in white and putting off crying. "Well you're the best man, so what's the plan? Why don't you talk to Matty about it?" I said, "I only brought 3 like I told you before, We're gonna have to ask about." Free bar, that's the point. Spilling Amaretto 'cause of previous joints. I'm sitting with a girl, fortunate placing. Preceding railing racket off a porcelain basin. Who's he? Giving it the lips? I've never seen him knockin' about. He looks just like me, but 6 foot 3, So I reckon you could knock him out. "Well, I think I'll say a couple of words if you don't mind... I never really got on with your bird the first time I met her out, dressed in nowt, telling everybody you were shagging about." Well, who's this? Going for the kiss, I'm probably gonna yosh in your mouth. Because it's 5 past 3, I can hardly see and I'm on the verge of passing out.
The memories of driving down the motorway, windows down, 3am after a tough shift really hits me in the feels, this song has been a blessing for those times I can't lie
There are millions of songs out there that I’ve never heard of before that people adore!! It’s like I’m missing out on an entirely different world 😔 this band is one of them
the opening instrumental of this song makes me think of lying in bed in the dark awake and thinking about that one person, you know, that one, and wishing they were there with you
This song is pure perfection I don't understand how anyone could dislike it. I mean maybe I'm a little bias since I'm a bit obsessed with it..... but come on
Last night at 4am this song came on pandora and I couldn't help but cry. I first heard this in Samm rochelles video to jeydon but never knew the song. She was my favorite youtuber and I watched her videos every single day. I pray for the day that she comes back but I understand 😔
1:45 is so lovely because he starts singing in the middle of nowhere and it's even better with ear plugs on. or if you can afford it, high branded headphones. JBL speakers are a whole different world with their songs
You have no idea the feeling I get when I hear this song. It is spine tingling. I love The 1975 so much. Their depth of music range is incredible and I am so proud to call them my favourite band. #love
I don't understand how people can dislike a song enough to give it a thumbs down. I either love a song, remain neutral or don't like it. But I wouldn't give it a thumbs down.
It's a warm summer's evening in 2014. You're sat in your bedroom listening to The 1975, because the cute girl in your geography class listens to them and you need an excuse to talk to her. Your mum shouts upstairs that dinner is ready. Life is good.
maeonmonday it’s because of the long instrumental in the beginning. It’s beautiful, but our brains don’t perceive the song as starting until the lyrics begin.
I'm going to be totally honest and say that I miss this 1975. Still so proud of them and love their new stuff, but this will always be my memory of them :)
The crunchy noise in this fantastic song reminds me of when Larvelle Jones in Police Academy was making a noise pretending someone's shoes were squeaking = Just Great :)
Well I only brought 3, what you lookin' at me for? She's dressed in white and putting off crying. Well you're the best man, so what's the plan? Why don't you talk to Matty about it?

00:19 - 00:38 a beatiful sound that make me want to forget everithing for a second. Those seconds, turn into the best moment of my life...and i hate that, i dont know why...
why do people have to judge all their songs so harshly? just enjoy it for once. sit down and actually listen and you might find that you want to make a really great mix cd with this song on it that your friends will all ask about
to everyone who says that the beginning is boring, I'm not going to be that person that is like "lol if u don't listen to the instrumental, you're a fake fan." I just look at it the way that you can get the full effect of the song if you listen to the bit at the beginning. it adds onto the suspense and relaxed vibe. skip it if you want, but if you do want to listen to this song in whole, listen to the beginning as well.
i knew this song way before i met my best friend and boyfriend and this turns out to be his all time favorite band and now he’s leaving to college in less than two months and i feel like we had so much more to do and i keep coming back to this song and it hurts because i feel like this song was meant to give me a sign he was coming into my life if that makes sense. i just miss him.
love how this song's literally about cocaine at a wedding yet it's still the most beautiful sound i've heard in my life
Marijuana at a wedding
Asa White True, but to "rail a racket" is to do a line of cocaine.
Asa White Its about cocaine. Matty used to be a coke addict.
Ya, “rail a racket off a porcelain basin” just means he was doing a line of coke on the back of a toilet 😂
He reverences marijuana at the beginning "I only bought three, what you lookin at me for" and in the middle "spillin amaretto cause of previous joints" and then cocaine later "fortunate placin, proceed to railin' racket off a porcelain basin."

never trust anyone that skips the intro to this song
millie wood exactly
Omg.
facts
yes
soo true holy this intro is fire flames
most underrated song by the 1975 :)
+Adriana Gomez yeah same for pressure i think
and M.O.N.E.Y
and milk
+Morgan Kochenberger money, milk and you are my favouritesss
U RIGHT
One of my old friends used to listen to this band, even went to one of their live shows when they were just sprouting up back in the early 2010s. He’s not with us anymore. I’m still bumping this album, Carlos. Miss you, bro.

That's all I can think of right now. Thanks, Molly
+Skye Troy You put exactly how I feel into words, except I picture myself walking around London haha!
Literally same
I actually couldn't sleep one night and so I went outside to my front yard and played this over and over and when the sun rose it literally felt like i was the only one in the world... and then the neighbors started to wake up and the birds started chirping so I turned it off and went inside but listening to this song over and over all night was such a private experience because it felt like the rest of the world was sleeping and the world felt quiet and everything was at peace, even though it was just for a moment.
ikr
youre welcome
Didn't really get around this song until I saw them live for the second time. When it all goes black, and the drums light up every time there hit, then Matty starts singing ! So gooodd, absolute tuneee
hCaden MacDonald rupdH
i dont get why everyone hates the instrumental part of the song when i fricken love it like oh my god
Omg same it's like a dramatic yet stunning entrance
samee
Mallory Foshizzle sammeeee it sort of reminds me of whale sounds idek
Mallory Foshizzle i honestly listened to this song for the first time just now. the intro is so serene, but then they just come crashing in with the vocals. great song! i just wish the would've stuck with that vibe for the whole song
Maddie Um Every time I play this song from now on I'll think of whales. THANKS :p
I used to listen to this whole album driving to school for my night classes in downtown Milwaukee. Something about this entire album and night driving through a city at a coming of age time in life just hits different.
listening to all The 1975 songs with headphones on, eyes closed is truly just the greatest musical experience ever
Try the 8D audio version with headphones…unreal. Feels like you’re at their concert live.
ok but for real though who had trouble singing this perfectly and practiced on it many times until they finally got it right by heart
me
preceding railing racket off a porcelain basin
Me
haha i soo did. i got it down now. i can sing it perfectly when drunk...
Me me me
when i listen to 1975 all i think about is being young, doing crazy things, making mistakes and finally finding myself.
This makes me want to drive around at night and have the sun never come up.. it that weird
// Speaking The Truth Mate //
same same
Not at all.
I feel that way all the time bro
let me come with you haha sounds fun :p
I have the album on my laptop and phone but it is nice to read the comments of fellow 1975 fans, love to you all
i feel you
kikikiki
Driving home late at night kinda song.
cant tell you how many times that was exactly what I did getting off work from my ambulance shifts. lonely but in a good way.
From the job I don't have
Every 1975 is for driving though a well lit city at night in my opinion.
Or mid day just starting a project
*bow bow bow bow ba bowowowoe bowooww " Matty is a good whale
I'm laughing so hard
+Sara Flower OMG
When's that bit?
TheSilverSwan 1:40
omg hahahahaha, i'm crying
Holy shit all of the 1975 songs are just gold man 😭😭😭😭
2:18 “He looks just like me, but six foot three” that line always makes me smile and think of the underrated genius that is George Daniel.
Why's that?
The fact that Matty and George was smoking and drinking as the melody played, at the concert. That was seriously everything. Everyone was dacing to the beat and smiling. best concert
I find this song and the rest of their music to be very relaxing. I listen to this song every morning driving to school and it's just so calming and peaceful.
all the british words in this song make me so happy
this. song. is. too. short. i. need. more.
he said what he needed to say
I'll get this music video to 1,000,000 views alone.
Too much love for it.
well get to it
it will take you 2 years
Balaur Teodora rly?
started to cry at the concert when they started to play this song
so freaking good live
this song and m.o.n.e.y are my absolute favorites, they've got this steady groove to them and its unlike any rock music i've heard lately
idk why but I'm in love with the way he says 'why dont you talk to Matty about it'
Menswear the GOAT. I love how the lyrics flow so effortlessly. The vibe is immaculate.
absolute best 1975 song. never ceases to amaze me. with the instrumental to matty to just how calming it all is. wow.
in love with the 1975 so much i can't get enough of their music ugh
it took me three months to know the lyrics to menswear by heart i may now add it to my resume
im here because I fucking love the 1975
YESSSS
+Kiana Taylen SAME ALL THE WAY YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Same!!
this is my favorite song by them it's just so JDJJDKMSX
me too
Prefer this so much to Love Me. This seems to have so much thought and meaning behind it. By far the best song on this album. Learned all the lyrics in one day. X
+ProPoppleton same :)
+Diego Curioni oh I love how sad we both are! ;)
+ProPoppleton So much meaning. So much doing coke at a friend's wedding and shitz! :D
+Katniss Jacq was thinking the exact same 😂
Love Me actually made me take the 1975 more seriously, tbh. Like before I just took them for granted, but if the lyrics in that song are very self aware. Although I admit this is my favourite song.
This song feels great. And I listen to "People" after "menswear". I mean, their songs are bliss.
The first minute makes me think of a pod of whales, just singing to each other. As odd as that sounds, I find it very relaxing and beautiful.
"Who's he, giving you the lips? I've never seen him knockin about. He looks just like me, but 6 foot 3, so I reckon you could knock him out." Love love love them, so excited to see them next month

omg that's so cool!
thats pretty dope
sounds so so beautiful, gets me everytime
This...is simply the most perfect mixture of sounds to grace my eardrums.
TAKE ME AWAY.
Instrumental hype train here. I love how close sandwiching a rush of smooth lyrics like that comes to captures the feeling of blacking out.
Why the fuck can't this song be longer???? Needs to be a Menswear pt 2
agreed.
Damn Straight
kikiki

God bless you
THANK YOU
midnstellarcupcakes thanks
you the real MVP mate
The memories of driving down the motorway, windows down, 3am after a tough shift really hits me in the feels, this song has been a blessing for those times I can't lie
Singing along to this song is about the extent of my rap skills...
This made me laugh. 💕👌
How are you doing with Loving Someone? Lol.
+CarryMe001 my heart is telling me the telly isn't telling me anything
+PyrocynicaI noice memes m90
Haha yeah same
There are millions of songs out there that I’ve never heard of before that people adore!!
It’s like I’m missing out on an entirely different world 😔
this band is one of them
this song is honest to god the greatest song ever written i would Die for this musical masterpiece
the 1975 is my girlfriends favorite band. i like it too now
Well I only bought three what you lookin' at me for?
She's dressed in white and putting off crying
vonnie_yo well you're the best man so what's the plan?
why don't you talk to Matty about it?
Coz I only bought three like I told you before
You didn't have to ask about it.

This is basically the only thing that is making me happy right now. Thank you The 1975 for being amazing.
This song goes well with wine.
+benxxx pauuu could not have said it better myself
+benxxx pauuu first time I'd ever heard this song I was just getting a buzz and my head lit up with no warning and I lost balance, it was awesome.
+benxxx pauuu anything goes well with wine
this song goes well with anything
Amaretto like the song implies
This. Song. Is...I can't even think of the right words to describe what I'm feeling right now.
So relaxing, my favorite song by them.
The instrumental is the whole art of the song. The vocals are tethered to suit the instrumental.
i love this song so much xxx
the instrumental builds up the momentum of the song anD IF YOU SKIP IT I'M JUDGING YOU
I need more of this.. it's not long enough
like, i know it's the length of a normal song but?? it's nOT LoNg eNOUGH???????
maeonmonday it’s because of the long instrumental in the beginning. It’s beautiful, but our brains don’t perceive the song as starting until the lyrics begin.
I know this is two years old but why do people type like this
It's not even a question why are there so many question marks
every 1975 songs
same thing with milk
I agree, I wish they had more verses innit
This song puts me in a different zone! I feel like a trancedimensional space goat.
tough to imagine so me of these songs will be a decade old in a couple years
They will still sound just as good, the best music never dates....
geez 7 years already '-'
soaring through space listening to the soothing sounds of the menswear!
I'm going to be totally honest and say that I miss this 1975. Still so proud of them and love their new stuff, but this will always be my memory of them :)
honestly same dude.
LOVE THAT SONG!
The first half sounds like Owl City, dreamy and soothing :)
Love it!
Has anyone noticed (I'm sure you have) that the instrumental part ends right in the middle of the song?
I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG
No one cares why your here. Just relax and enjoy the music
100% agree -_-
Anime fans 🙈🙉🙊😅
+PyrocynicaI leafy fans...
+German Pancake Did not expect to see you here!
Tristan Sharp lol hai
Been coming back to this on and off for 8 years now and the instrumental never ever gets dull or the lyrics cause they are fucking mint
58 people need to get their lives together
I agree
for real tho
Now 91 people need to get their lives together
Joel Pirela 94 people!!
Marina Love 95
The crunchy noise in this fantastic song reminds me of when Larvelle Jones in Police Academy was making a noise pretending someone's shoes were squeaking = Just Great :)
Such a wonderful song, love especially the instrumentals, really draws you in...
I'm Malaysian , and I love THE 1975 . Much indeed .
this song is literally so epic i might cry
This is one of my favorites...actually all the songs on the album are my favorite. They do not disappoint
This song puts me in a chill mood and I love that
This song let me feel something that I can't explain...amazing
This has been my morning alarm since high school haha
the lyric “why don’t you talk to matty about it” really fucking turns me on and i have no idea why
There is magic in this track. It sways ✨
This song is my favourite because i feel you can connect with it. The melody is just so wavy and cool
this song just makes me want to drive a really expensive car.
I like your style, kid.
Steal one kid
it has been 5 years since you posted that comment. i hope you are able to buy an expensive car now, if not in the near future :))
Hope you're listening this in your expensive car at high vol in the night and not caring about the world. 🙌🏼
This song makes me want to do cocaine at a wedding.
im obsessed with this song ugh
Still going in the favorite even though the galaxy 4 remix which brought me here is proprietary and will never be available. Nice work!
When you realize the vocals start at 1:43 - “I love you”
I'm gonna go ahead and assume all of the dislikes are because the song isn't long enough
Damn Straight
ive been trying to find a band with this vibe and im so happy i finally found it
Well I only brought 3, what you lookin' at me for?
She's dressed in white and putting off crying.
Well you're the best man, so what's the plan?
Why don't you talk to Matty about it?
I said, I only brought 3 like I told you before,
We're gonna have to ask about.
Free bar, that's the point.

Who's he? Giving it the lips?
I've never seen him knockin' about.
He looks just like me, but 6 foot 3,
So I reckon you could knock him out.
Well, I think I'll say a couple of words if you don't mind...
I never really got on with your bird the first time
I met her out, dressed in nowt, telling everybody you were shagging about.
Well, who's this? Going for the kiss,
I'm probably gonna yosh in your mouth.
Because it's 5 past 3, I can hardly see and I'm on the verge of passing out.
ErinBradyTV I'm assuming you looked up those lyrics ;) We all know its impossible to understand all of what Matt Healy says by listening :)
+Zara Wani I'm american and I can understand 80% of what he says
I guess I was trained in the art of hearing indie lyrics
Do I wanna know what "I'm gonna yosh in your mouth" means?
+Emily throw up
+Zara Wani Um, yeah, that's what that means. I don't know what the heck you think that refers to, but in the context of the song he's drunk and high.
a goat song. great job. look forward to the rest of yalls music for all time.
I love this song so much, but my Mom is constantly irritated with me because I try to sing the whale noises.
OMG i'm laughing so hard 😂😂😂
+Taeminnie JongKey HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
+Taeminnie JongKey SHAWOL!! sorry I couldn't help but notice ur name. All i'm thinking of is whalien 52 -bts when u said whale noises lool

This comment made my life
00:19 - 00:38 a beatiful sound that make me want to forget everithing for a second.
Those seconds, turn into the best moment of my life...and i hate that, i dont know why...
why do people have to judge all their songs so harshly? just enjoy it for once. sit down and actually listen and you might find that you want to make a really great mix cd with this song on it that your friends will all ask about

Hope they bring a new album out soon !!
i knew this song way before i met my best friend and boyfriend and this turns out to be his all time favorite band and now he’s leaving to college in less than two months and i feel like we had so much more to do and i keep coming back to this song and it hurts because i feel like this song was meant to give me a sign he was coming into my life if that makes sense. i just miss him.
this is the best song on the album I can't get enough
