"The View From The Afternoon" is a song by Arctic Monkeys originally released on the band's first Album '' Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not '' in January 2006 . It was also the lead track on the '' Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys '' EP . This release had an accompanying video. THEMES The themes of ''The View from the Afternoon'' are based around observations of behaviour on an excursion into local nightlife. In a repeated verse, the singer comments on the expectation that an evening being enjoyable will likely lead to disappointment. The singer describes various scenes; a group of meretricious females who have rented a Limousine for a Fancy Dress party; a gambler who has won and then lost the Jackpot on a Fruit Machine ; Text Messaging through the lock/unlock function on a Nokia mobile phone; "two for the price of one" drinks promotions, which the singer explicitly blames for the drunkenness of the sender and his predicament.
