This is the first song to be made by the monkeys since their debut album and it is a cracker!
This should have been on the album and is fantastic live.
The B-sides are not as good but still worth a few listens. Buy this for the title track alone!

As a Hardcore Monkeys fan, I had to get this single to complete my collection. And it was the right choice because the A-side is worth the entry price alone. It has a catchy tune and retains the same high-quality song-writing of all their previously released songs. It even tells an amusing story, something that a very few songs do. Sadly, the B-sides on this album aren't quite as good as other Monkeys songs, even the B-sides on the other singles. The problem is, they are both covers by other bands. Put Your Dukes Up, John originally by The Little Flames is a VERY average song in the first place. The lyrics aren't amazing and it doesn't suit the style of AMs either. The second B-side, Baby, I'm Yours is a cover of the Barabara Lewis song. It's a collaboration with the 747s, a band the Monkeys met when working in a London studio. (The 747s are amazing if you ever get around to listening to them.) The song is an amazing cover with a superb harmony, but it just isn't Arctic Monkeys. It would have been better as a 747 B-side with Arctic Monkeys listed as the collaborators.
Overall, the single is a must-buy for any Arctic Monkeys fan, but if you're not an avid collector, just wait until the inevitable "Whatever You Say I Am, That's What I'm Not: Special Edition" which will have the single on. Don't let my misgivings about the B-sides put you off however, they are still good listening.

After releasing a great album, hailed by critics as the best debut since "Definitely Maybe". Two terrific no1 singles, and "who the f**k are arctic monkeys" an EP which saw an interesting change in direction for the band, it was as if the nations new favourite group could do no wrong!
This single strengthens my belief that the Arctic Monkeys are the best band to come out of England since Britpop died! The new single "Leave Before The Lights Come On" is a lyrically brilliant, poignant, sometimes moving song, about meeting someone one night who you then regret ever meeting the morning after. The second song "Put Your Dukes up John" is interesting, and the final song "Baby I'm Yours" took me by surprise most of all, a song which sounds as if it could have jumped off an old 50s record. I recommend this single strongly to anyone who enjoys listening to the arctic monkeys, in fact anyone who likes music buy this single as you will be doing you're self a favour, I assure you. BRING ON ALBUM NUMBER 2!
