Kaiser Chiefs - Beautiful Girl

If I was in your shoes
They’d probably be too tight
And if I was your record player
I’d probably play too quiet
And if I was your front porch swing
I’d probably swing too high
With a crochet blanket wrapped up around you thinking

Nobody needs a record player
That’s why you buy them second hand
We’ve been around the blocks and all the charity shops
Then I found you there and now I understand

You’re my beautiful girl
You’re my beautiful girl

And If I was an eight ball
I’d give you bad advice
Your lava lamp and yucca plant
I love you more than is right

Nobody needs a record player
But it makes our house a home
Your beauty in the snaps the crackles and the pops
And you’ve spoiled my chance for me to dance alone
Yeah you’ve spoiled my chance for me to dance alone

With my beautiful girl
With my beautiful girl
Yeah you’re my beautiful girl
You’re my beautiful girl

Kaiser Chiefs - Burning In Flames

When the wheels came off
We started flying
Then we tried to rise above the lightning
But the ride doesn’t stop
Because the stage is a cage

Oh when the stars came down
And danced upon the earth
And i was crowned king of the universe
The inevitable twist is that the stage was a cage

I would like to change your mind
Don't give up
Set the stage
We can go out burning in flames

Burning in flames
Burning in flames
Burning in flames
Set the stage, we can go out burning

And as the years go by it gets much easier to not reply
They’ll send a meteor to just remind
You that the stage is a cage
Here’s to the road ahead
May all the bumps give you the gift of flight
And all the cracks reveal treasures bright
Because the stage is a cage

I would like to change your mind
Don’t give up
Set the stage we can go out burning in flames

Burning in flames
Burning in flames
Burning in flames
Set the stage, we can go out burning

Kaiser Chiefs - The Lads

Some of you I’ve known since we were six years old
Some of you I’ve know since we were ten
The common denominator is that you’re my oldest friend

Some of us have tried to set our future straight
And most of us are firing in the dark
When you’ve got good men around you it makes life a lot less hard

Oh how wonderful, how uncool
That I’m still hanging out with all my friends from school

We’re the lads, we’re the lads
We are champions among men
We have no idea where were going
But we’ll go there together
From here to forever
We will always be there for our friends
Yeah we’re the lads

If we can save each other's lives in future wars
And we don’t lose each other to our loves
We’ll cast familiar shadows in the last remaining public houses
Oh how wonderful, how uncool that I’m still hanging out
With all my friends from school

We’re the lads, we’re the lads
We are champions among men
We have no idea where we're going
But we’ll go there together
From here to forever
We will always be there for our friends
Yeah we’re the lads

We’re the lads
We won’t be here forever
We are stronger and brighter than ever
We will go there together
We will always remember
We’re the lads, we’re the lads
We are champions among men
We are constantly to-ing and fro-ing
We are giants and warriors

With an oh I adore yous

We’re the lads, we’re the lads
We are champions among men
We have no idea where we're going
But we’ll go there together
From here to forever
We will always be there for our friends
Yeah we’re the lads

Kaiser Chiefs - Reasons to Stay Alive

You give me one good reason to love you
I’ll give you plenty more why I should be gone
You give me 24 hours with a billionaire
I’ll give you we buy any soul dot com
There are 3 different types of people in the world
You and me and everyone else
Turn the telly on for the rebellion
You won’t believe it till you see yourself

So give me one more, more, more, more, more

Just another reason why you wanted me to stay alive
Just another reason why you wanted me to stay alive

You give me twenty four hour coverage
I’ll give you money, power, sex, and revenge
You give me rooting tooting high school shootings
Give you dollar bills to clean up your lens

You give me one more, more, more, more, more

It’s just another reason why you wanted me to stay alive
It’s just another reason why you wanted me to stay alive

You give me one more, more, more, more, more

Moby feat. Ricky Wilson - The Perfect Life [Resound NYC version]

Oh, we close our eyes
The perfect life, life
Is all we need
Oh, we close our eyes
The perfect life, life
Is all we need

You open up when you had me in your hands
Slipping far away with the world at your command
You sing me to sleep and then you hit me awake
In a perfect life, a perfect life
I only want to be here when you're by my side
Oh, I believе now I'll love you 'til I die
You will sing me to sleep and you hit mе awake
In the perfect life, the perfect life

Oh, we close our eyes
The perfect life, life
Is all we need

Little Mike, he steps everywhere
Knives in his pockets, bullets in his hair
He has nothing to live for, nothing to say
He's locking all the doors to keep the older wolves at bay
Spoons and foil are all he needs
A bed and some china
A lighter and some speed
It will sing you to sleep and it will hit you awake
It's the perfect life, perfect life

Oh, we close our eyes
The perfect life, life
Is all we need
Oh, we close our eyes
The perfect life, life
Is all we need
Oh, we close our eyes
The perfect life, life
Is all we need
Oh, we close our eyes
The perfect life, life
Is all we need (All we need)
Oh, we close our eyes
The perfect life, life
Is all we need (All we need)
Oh, we close our eyes
The perfect life, life
Is all we need (All we need)

Kaiser Chiefs - Kinda Girl You Are

I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are
I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are
I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are
I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are

I first heard you on the radio
And felt my heart explode
No other choice, I heard a voice and fell in love with you
From St. Bartholomew's to Gloucester Avenue
No one can do what you do, oh

I thought you were American, oh oh oh
I thought you were American, oh oh oh

I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are
I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are

Then I saw you in a centrefold
You were looking cold
In just an artfully positioned piece of mistletoe
Mentally dressing you, I want to rescue you
And make you mine, all mine, oh

I thought you were a miracle, oh oh oh
I thought you were a miracle, oh oh oh

Hey!

I thought you were incredible, oh oh oh
I thought you were incredible, oh oh oh

I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are
I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are
I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are
I only wanna see the
I only wanna see the kinda girl you are

Kaiser Chiefs - Learnt My Lesson Well

I'm just waiting for
The man to come with all my things
And I'm just waiting for
Another man to take it all

And it's not hard to tell
That I learnt my lesson well
But I'm just waiting for
The man to come and go away

What are you waiting for
Get up off your seat
It's just seven days
It feels like a week

What are you moaning for
You got all that you want
Life could be worse
You could be a nurse

It seems more sensible
For us to keep the purse strings tight
And move the decimals
A couple of places to the right

And it's not hard to tell
That I learnt my lesson well
It seems most sensible
But not exactly what we'd like

What are you waiting for
Get up off your seat
It's just seven days
It feels like a week

What are you moaning for
You got all that you want
Life could be worse
You know, we all could be cursed

I can't help being like this
So don't rearrange it
I don't mean to be a dick
I just don't like the changes

I can't help the things I say
You know wouldn't to strangers
But I don't like going away
Because it puts me in danger

I can tell you now
There ain't a problem can't be solved
With a good old fashioned row
So grit your teeth and stand your ground

And it's not hard to tell
That I learnt my lesson well
But I'm still waiting for
The man to come with all my things

What are you waiting for
Get up off your seat
It's just seven days
It feels like a week

What are you moaning for
You got all that you want
Life could be worse
And you could leave in a hearse

Kaiser Chiefs - Meanwhile Up In Heaven

Picture yourself by a rocket

Picture yourself in a glittering silver suit

Picture yourself getting on it

Saluting the news crews, you're the new recruit

Do you remember the numbers

Hung on the door of the house where you grew up?

Do you remember the colours

Tied round the handles of last year's FA Cup

Meanwhile up in Heaven, they're waiting for you, waiting for you

And if you believe them, you will see them when you

Are ready to

Guided by love and a flashlight

Led by consuming desire for a good idea

Lighting the clock on the dashboard

It's not worked ten years, but I know that it's still there

Meanwhile up in Heaven, they're waiting for you, waiting for you

And if you believe them, you will see them when you

Meanwhile up in Heaven, they're waiting for you, waiting for you

And if you believe them, you will see them when you

Are ready to

Your mind is the key, it is the key that sets you free

Your mind is the key, it is the key that sets you free

Meanwhile up in Heaven, they're waiting for you, waiting for you

And if you believe them, you will see them when you

Are ready to...

Kaiser Chiefs - Wait

Just wait

For happy ever after in a never ending summer can't wait

Passing every mirror just to check you're looking slimmer, lost weight

99 problems and every single one with a flake

How can you be so sad when everyone around you is okay?

Can't wait

Can't wait

Like ripping off a plaster, be quicker, do it faster, don't wait

Skipping every meal, now can you feel it gathering pace?

Everyone is famous, line up and take a number, just wait

How can you be crying when everyone around you is...

Laughing all the time, singing as we go

Looking like an ad, drinking Diet Coke

Everybody dance, let's break down tonight

Making up the lies, keeping up the show

Checking out the boys, wearing summer clothes

Get it while you can, let's break down tonight

Or just wait

Can't wait

Can't wait

Gimme, gimme, gimme, celebrity bikini click bait

Give me Stacy Solomon, show me her abdominal plate

Where is my forever? I was promised I was special take take

How can you be normal when everyone around you is...

Laughing all the time, singing as we go

Looking like an ad, drinking Diet Coke

Everybody dance, come on over

Let's break down tonight

Making up the lies, keeping up the show

Checking out the boys, wearing summer clothes

Get it while you can, if you wanna

Let's break down tonight

National Breakdown is starting today

Due to lack of interest it's delayed

Now your 15 minutes turned into 8

I'll take hell now

Give em hell now and heaven can wait

(Wait, wait)

Appy ever after in a never ending summer, just wait

How can you so sad when almost everyone around you is...

Laughing all the time, singing as we go

Looking like an ad, drinking Diet Coke

Everybody dance, come on over

Checking out the boys, wearing summer clothes

Kaiser Chiefs - Kurt vs Frasier (The Battle For Seattle)

What do you think

Hitting the road

Leave it behind

Lighten the load

Full of mistakes

Make a new start

Pull up a crate

And empty your heart

Cross out Christmas

Cross out endless summers

Cross out high school dances

Cross out all the one hit wonders

And we'll cross out kisses

Cross out private numbers

Cross out teen romances

Cross our hearts and hope to die again but

Never forget my name (hey!)

Never erase the days

Of Kurt Cobain and Frasier Crane

Never forget my name (hey!)

Letting it wash away

With all last year's Seattle rain

What do you think

How do you know

When it is real

And when it's a show

Making the rent

Sending it home

Pack up the tent

Why should we go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go

Cross out Christmas

Cross out endless summers

Cross out high school dances

Cross out all the one hit wonders

And we'll cross out kisses

Cross out private numbers

Cross out teen romances

Cross our hearts and hope to die again but

Never forget my name (hey!)

Kaiser Chiefs - Happen In A Heartbeat

'cos it can happen in a heartbeat, happen in a heartbeat.
'cos it can happen in a heartbeat, happen in a heartbeat.
Can happen in a heartbeat, happen in a heartbeat, in the night alone.

I wouldn't make it on my own,
I wouldn't change it for the world.
I wouldn't pray here, and I know,
I wouldn't make it, make it on my own.

I wanna be made of glass,
You want to go and shatter up heart,
I wanna be made of stone,
I wanna drive my cardboard Cadillac.


Happen in a heartbeat, happen in a heartbeat.
Battle on my own.
'Cause it could happen in a heartbeat, happen in a heartbeat,
In the night alone, alone.

Happen in a heartbeat, happen in a heartbeat.
Battle on my own.
'Cause it could happen in a heartbeat, happen in a heartbeat,
In the night alone, alone.

I wouldn't make it on my own,
I couldn't fight them off alone.
I couldn't take it and I know,
I wouldn't make it, make it on my own.

I wanna be made of glass
You wanna go shatter up my heart.
I wanna be made of stone
I wanna drive my cardboard Cadillac
Happen in a heartbeat, happen in a heartbeat.
Battle on my own.
Cause it could happen in a heartbeat, happen in a heartbeat,
In the night alone, alone.

Happen in a heartbeat, happen in a heartbeat.
Battle on my own.
Cause it could happen in a heartbeat, happen in a heartbeat,
In the night alone, alone.

Walking the line, all the time.
It set me up for life.
Follow the line, brought it to life,
You know it set me up for life.

Walking the line, all the time.
It set me up for life.
Follow the line, brought it to life,
You know it set me up for life.

Walking the line,
Walking the line,
Walking the line.

Kaiser Chiefs - Record Collection

I'm a record collection, a dedicated section
I'm a memory of everything you've ever seen and ever done
I'm a subtle seduction, I am utter corruption
I'm the God enlightened, cleaned up, heightened re-enactment of your day
I'm a hidden agenda, hidden in the credenza
In the darkest corner of the room inside the room inside your head
Uh-huh, inside your head, inside your head, inside your head, uh

Sit back and relapse into the world we built for you
Where everything you'll need is on its way now
Make yourself at home, my extraordinary friend
Where everything is okay in the end

I'm thinking of a number
Whispered in Hong Kong
Double it and pass it on
Zero, zero, zero, one
Play us one more number
Give us one more song
Tell us one we've heard before
Zero, zero, zero, more

Architecturally speaking, 50 gram is a weakling
I'm a city planner with a stammer who carved out New York, New York
From the tip of the rhino, fuck it if I know
I'm the unexpected, twist your endless laundry list of heinous crimes
I can plant a suggestion, rig an election
I'm the hidden top line of the tune that's on a loop inside your mind
Uh-huh, inside your mind, inside your mind, inside your mind, uh

Sit back and relapse into the world we built for you
Where everything you'll need is on its way now
Make yourself at home, my extraordinary friend
Where everything is okay in the end

I'm thinking of a number
Whispered in Hong Kong
Double it and pass it on
Zero, zero, zero, one
Play us one more number
Give us one more song
Tell us one we've heard before
Zero, zero, zero, more

On an endless corridor behind each hidden door
Infinity and one more never ending bidding war
Send us your details, my extraordinary friend
Everything is okay if you

Sit back and relapse into the world we built for you
Where everything you'll need is on its way now
Make yourself at home, my extraordinary friend
Where everything is okay in the end

Kaiser Chiefs - Don't Just Stand There, Do Something

She were lying in the bathroom
I was banging on the door
She was crying in a puddle
On the laminate floor
I was screaming out, "Let me in
You've had too much gin
You better come out or I'm kicking it in"
The door unlocked, my heart stopped
I froze, and she said

Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Do something

The 24-hour garage
And it's in my hand
As a telephone it's average
But it's worth a grand
A gang of youth
Started throwing abuse
Your money or your Nikes, do I have to choose?
All pride lost, stood in my socks
I froze, and I thought

Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Do something

It would be useful if you knew
That everything you say and do
Potentially could change tomorrow
And if you're all still sleeping there
Without the power, without a care
Don't mention me when your alarm goes, yeah

Life is just a beer garden
A sunny afternoon
There's always one drunk hard man
Singing out of tune
A plastic chair flies through the air
The lager tops go everywhere
The jukebox clicks, a record sticks
And we froze, everybody sang

Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something

It would be useful if you knew
That everything you say and do (do something)
Potentially could change tomorrow (do something)
And if you're all still sleeping there
Without the power, without a care (do something)
Don't mention me when your alarm goes
Off

Kaiser Chiefs - Heat Dies Down

I can just imagine you and me
Running out of steam
Going through the motions
I have no idea how you know
When I dip my toes
In other people's oceans

You have local knowledge
Of the local area
And that impressed me quite
So I tried that night
To do all the things I thought you'd like
But that just made it worse
And I impressed you not
Well not a lot

So we started from the start...

When the heat dies down
I'll be back in town
But until that time
I'll be round at mine
When the heat dies down
We'll be back in town
But until that time
I'll be round at mine

When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down...

I can not imagine growing old
To have and to hold
'Til death do part each other
'cause I doubt I could stomach 20 years
Spending time at hers
And talking to that mother.

I've got wider knowledge of the world
I just can't face another argument about the rent,
It all seems unimportant
In the grander scheme of things
But I was purpose built
To not feel guilt

So we ended at the end.

When the heat dies down,
I'll be back in town,
But until that time,
I'll be round at mine
When the heat dies down,
We'll be back in town,
But until that time,
I'll be round at mine

When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down...

Kaiser Chiefs - Ruffians on Parade

I chew imaginary gum
I own a replica gun
When we play away from home
We send in the drones

I study military maps
It helps me relax
What an ending
With 'em sending in the droh-oh-oh-oh-ohns…
… oh-oh-oh-oh-ohns…

Ruffians are on parade, whoa, whoa…
Ruffians are on parade, whoa, whoa…oh-oh…
And at the last stand of the day
We lost more than we saved
At weekly meetings, we go on parade

I write on the walls
Of urinals and stalls
When we play away from home
We send in the drones

I got the head of a stag
And a confederate flag
What an ending
With 'em sending in the droh-oh-oh-oh-ohns…

Ruffians are on parade, whoa, whoa…
Ruffians are on parade, whoa, whoa… oh-oh…
And in the dark of the arcades
We spend more than we made
At weekly meetings, we go on parade

We're never backing down
We'll never be alone again
We are never backing down
Even a million miles away from home

Ruffians are on parade, whoa, whoa…
The ruffians are on parade, whoa, whoa, oh-oh…
And at the last stand of the day
We lost more than we saved
At weekly meetings, we go on parade…

Ruffians are on parade, whoa, whoa…
The ruffians are on parade, whoa, whoa, oh-oh…
And at the last stand of the day
We lost more than we saved
And in the dark of the arcades
We spend more than we made

At weekly meetings, early evenings
After eating, we go on parade

Kaiser Chiefs - Good Clean Fun

I've never seen nobody ever live like you,
We never leave the house without a drink or two.
We never go to work, we play all night and day.
I never thought a life could ever be that way.

Although the lights fade, they never went out,
The life that we made, will never wear out.
Although the lights fade, they never went out,
The life that we made, will never wear out.

Why are you so sad? Oh.
Sex makes everything better.
Why are you so mad?
Sex makes everything better.

You've never seen a sunrise that you didn't like,
I've never been to a paradise that wasn't right.
One in every hundred times I see right through,
You maybe drop a line or times I miss my cue.

Although the lights fade, it never went out,
The life that we may, will never wear out.
Although the lights fade, it never went out,
The life that we may, will never wear out.

Why are you so sad? Oh.
Sex makes everything better.
Why are you so mad?
Sex makes everything better.

Why are you so sad? Oh.
Sex makes everything better.
Why are you so mad?
Sex makes everything better.

We got separated in the aftermath,
Now I'm following your path of destruction back.
We had to leave because the people were asking us
Sit down because we're scaring the passengers.
I've been exploring every avenue
Worn shoes our keeping up after you.
Heed help? Well the number to call is...

0800 good clean fun
A little bit of good clean fun
We're living like a loaded gun
All we need is good clean fun

Why are you so sad? Oh.
Sex makes everything better.
Why are you so mad?
Sex makes everything better.

Why are you so sad? Oh.
Sex makes everything better.
Why are you so mad?
Sex makes everything better.

Kaiser Chiefs - If You Will Have Me

I don't know if you'll hear this song
And if you do you might not know
That it's a tribute to the man who made our world go around
I don't know if you'll hear this song
But if you do you're not alone
So dance while you can and cry while you can let the world go around

And if you will have me
I want to be the son that I was
And if you will have me
I want to be the boy from the photograph

I miss the daily phone call
And I miss the good advice
And my brother misses everything, he's just looking for you
It's the longest of goodbyes
So many lows and no real highs
There seems so little we can do, we see glimpses of you

And if you will have me
I want to be the son that I was
And if you will have me
I want to be the boy from the photograph

You can't fight life, so dance while you can

You can't fight life, so just dance while you can

And if you will have me
I want to be the son that I was
And if you will have me
I want to be the boy from the photograph

And if you will have me
I want to be the son that I was
And if you will have me
I want to be the boy from the photograph

Kaiser Chiefs - Oh My God

Time on your side it'll never end
The most beautiful thing you can ever spend
But you work in a shirt with your name tag on it
Drifting apart like a plate tectonic

It don't matter to me
All I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar

Too much time spent dragging the past up
I didn't see you not looking when I messed up
Settling down in your early twenties
Sucked more blood than a backstreet dentist

It don't matter to me
All I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar

Oh my God I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
Oh my God I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
Oh my God I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
Oh my God I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home

Bright ruins lit for a greater glory
The only thing growing is our history
Knock me down I'll get right back up again
Come back stronger than a powered-up Pacman

It don't matter to me
All I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar

Oh my God I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
Oh my God I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
Oh my God I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
Oh my God I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home

Oh my God I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
Oh my God I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
Oh my God I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
Oh my God I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
