With the band sharing a similar postcode to the Arctic Monkeys (before they buggered off to America) one would be forgiven for thinking that Sheffield's The Starkins were just aping (not even sorry) their home-town heroes, but whilst they might well have their roots in jangly mid '00s indie, the fact remains that when the aforementioned dropped their debut single in 2005, The Starkins hadn't even started high school. 

As far as bands go, they don't get much more fresh-faced than The Starkins, though we mean that in the literal sense. For all their youthful exuberance, the band have been together a little under four years, in that time amassing a handful of tracks in a career that belies their relatively young years. The most recent track to be added to their arsenal is 'Paper Cuts', and like each of their singles before it, shows listeners a different side to the band, and marks a notable step up in both production and composition.

Those of you familiar with The Starkins needn't worry though; the loose guitars haven't been tightened beyond recognition, and the track still harbours the same irresistible pop sensibility that endeared fans to them in the first place. There does seem to be a murmuring of a maturing process taking place however. Is this the sound of The Starkins growing up?

A Parisian parting of lips
Now he's in the full swing of her pendulum hips
In industrial lights they begin to French kiss
He won't be sleeping alone

She's never done a thing quite like this
She's bouncing right back from a failed relationship
As he touches her hand she tightens her grip
She won't be sleeping alone

Now he's hooked by the hue of her hosiery
Shifts its shade at her knee so suggestively
And you know they're both acting regrettably
No-one likes sleeping alone

We all fall into the arms of another
Might take us a day to discover
It's just for the night we'll be lovers
No-one likes sleeping alone

With hands intertwined they've started their trip
Getting more distant sip after sip
When the morning arrives will he give her the slip?
Will she be waking alone?

He's never been one to get out of there quick
Kind of naive, not particularly slick
Well the morning arrives and the clock starts to tick
Will he be waking alone?

He's still hooked by the hue of her hosiery
Shifts its shade at her knee so suggestively
And you know they're both acting regrettably
No-one likes sleeping alone

We all fall into the arms of another
Might take us a day to discover
It's just for the night we'll be lovers
No-one likes sleeping alone

Well of course you know it will never be enough
But everybody wants to be in love

Where? Where will you be waking up?

Arms of Another

Lyrics
These colors fading slowly
Monsters on my TV

We know damn right where we went wrong
We know enough to carry on
It’s about time that we come clean
I’m not sure I still believe

We need a funeral for a bad dream
Have a little mercy, have mercy on us
Dim the lights for the fallen please
Show me when I can’t see
Have mercy on us
Have a little mercy, have mercy on us
Have a little mercy, have mercy on us

Word on the news is blurry
My world in a noose untie me 
Hard lines of truth are blinding
Like momentary flashes of lightning

We know damn right where we went wrong
We know enough to carry on
It’s about time that we come clean
I’m not sure I still believe

We need a funeral for a bad dream
Have a little mercy, have mercy on us
Dim the lights for the fallen please
Show me when I can’t see
Have mercy on us
Have a little mercy, have mercy on us
Have a little mercy, have mercy on us

We’re carrying the light
We’re carrying the light
We’re carrying the light, in the darkest times
We’re carrying the light, in the darkest times

We need a funeral for a bad dream
Have a little mercy, have mercy on us
Dim the lights for the fallen please
Show me when I can’t see
Have mercy on us
Have a little mercy, have mercy on us
Have a little mercy, have mercy on us

Lonely Prisoner
