You used to get it in your fishnets Now you only get it in your nightdress Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness Landed in a very common crisis Everything's in order in a black hole Nothing seems as pretty as the past though That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco Remember when you used to be a rascal? Oh, the boy's a slag The best you ever had The best you ever had is just a memory And those dreams Weren't as daft as they seem As daft as they seem, my love, when you dream them up Flicking through a little book of sex tips Remember when the boys were all electric? And now, when she's told she's gonna get it I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it Clinging to not getting sentimental Said she wasn't going but she went still Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle Was it a Mecca Dauber or a betting pencil? Oh, the boy's a slag The best you ever had The best you ever had is just a memory And those dreams Weren't as daft as they seem Not as daft as they seem, my love, when you dream them up Oh, Flo Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go? Oh-oh You're falling about You took a left off Last Laugh Lane Just sounding it out But you're not coming back again You're falling about You took a left off Last Laugh Lane You were just sounding it out But you're not coming back again You used to get it in your fishnets Now you only get it in your nightdress (falling about) Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness (you took a left off Last Laugh Lane) Landed in a very common crisis Everything's in order in a black hole Is anything as pretty in the past though? (You were just sounding it out) That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco (but you're not coming back again) Remember when you used to be a rascal? Oh

A música foi escrita pelo vocalista Alex Turner junto com a então namorada Johanna Bennett, em um quarto de hotel antes da gravação do álbum *Favourite Worst Nightmare*.
Foi lançada como o segundo single do álbum em 9 de julho de 2007, alcançando o quinto lugar na parada oficial do Reino Unido.
Em 2007, *Fluorescent Adolescent* foi o 83º single mais vendido do Reino Unido e ainda costuma fechar os shows da banda, evidenciando seu status de hino ao final de concertos.
O cantor Kate Nash fez uma versão cover em 5 de outubro de 2007, que aparece no *Radio 1's Live Lounge – Volume 3*.
