Kasabian - STRICTLY OLD SKOOL

I don't mind when you're around
To pick me up when I am down
Your head is like a work of art
You're old school
Strictly old school

Fresh out of game I wanted to behold
I'm running late, I shiver in the cold
Then walk alone to meet you after work
'Til rain came down

You're Dr. Dre, you're Frida and you're Kurt
You make the day go by without the hurt
And all the time you'd say you know the score
Another drink you pour
Oh what you're waiting for

I don't mind when you're around
To pick me up when I am down
Your head is like a work of art
You're old school
Strictly old school
You're old school
Strictly old school

All poise and grace, fiasco after dark
Sat down to blaze, go walking in the park
Two lovers watch people passing by
The sun came down
Drove a GTI, taste the magic tree
Watch stars in the sky powder off the key
All the time you'd say you know the score
Another drink you pour
Oh what you're waiting for

I don't mind when you're around
To pick me up when I am down
Your head is like a work of art
You're old school

From a place where time forgot
Now you're the one who calls the shots
When I could never be that cool
You're old school
(I don't mind when you're around)
Strictly old school
(To pick me up when I am down)
You're old school
(I don't mind when you're around)
Strictly old school
(To pick me up when I am-)

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Kasabian - Test Transmission

Standing here on this burning bridge
Trying to figure out but there's nothing here
Seem like they got the fear
Cattle grids rattle gold chains pay it back
Just count all the chickens
And tell your son that he should steal the gold

The kings send their knights, check these soul satellites
Test transmission is calling me back home
The kings send their knights, check these soul satellites
Test transmission is calling me back home

Too messed up to perform this
Can't you see I'll only miss you now
And memories get, they get washed to the seas
Feeding tape through the fabric, must tune in
Unless you're trapped tomorrow
Get out the sun, get out before it gets you back

The kings send their knights, check these soul satellites
Test transmission is calling me back home
The kings send their knights, check these soul satellites
Test transmission is calling me back home

And I feel close enough, taste the change, feel the rays
It's gonna get you again, setting sun is coming back again
And I feel close enough, taste the change, feel the rays
It's gonna get you again, setting sun is coming back again

Kasabian - West Ryder Silver Bullet

[Then I went down into the basement, where my friend the maniac busies himself with his electronic graffiti. Finally his language touches me, because he talks to the part of us which insists on drawing profiles on prison walls. In that moment, poetry will be made by everyone and there will be emus in the zone.]

Mist covers the ground in the city
Engine rumbles quiet as we drift by
I wish you could see
(Sweetheart)
Through my crooked eye
(Silence let me whisper)
Oh your beauty
Plays me just like a guitar string
(Plays right just like guitar whisper true)

I want your touch
Oh how I want you
Far too much
She my baby
(He’s my baby)

Days drift into one, it’s so pretty
Traveling Wilburys, police photofits
And this stolen car
(Cool hand)
Is loaded with junk
(Silence let me whisper)
It’s so dirty
(We are the dark silver bullets)
You’ll be the death of me
(Flying through)
But that’s okay

I want your touch
Oh how I want you
Far too much
She my baby
(He’s my baby)

Kasabian - Italian Horror

She loved Italian horror
She was the best and the worst of tomorrow
And now she’s looking for forgiveness
I can give her that
Oh I can give her that

She drink her wine in the morning
Sergio Martino on her necklace, keep it pouring
And now she wanna stay with me forever
I can give her that
I can give her that

You need saving from yourself
It’s the last time you get to climb down from the shelf

And all the faces come and go
When you find out you life’s a giallo horror show

She loved Italian horror
She was the best and the worst of tomorrow
And now she’s looking for forgiveness
I can give her that
Oh I can give her that

She’s on my mind
evyrehere I go
She’s breaking up
The stereo

I never her smile
Always running wild
Is the only way she knows

Kasabian - Passengers

Nobody’s getting out alive
Only passenger on this ride

Everything is lost
And you couldn’t give a toss

Bombs away
It is easy as they say

drowning in the ocean
By the way

Now your sky has turned to grey
And your falling in slow motion

This is what you wanted

Nobody’s getting out alive
Maybe see you in another life

Everything is lost ( it doesn’t even matter )

And you couldn’t get enough ( happy ever after )

Bombs away
It is easy as they say
drowning in the ocean

By the way
Now your sky has turned to grey
And your falling in slow motion

This is what you wanted

By the way
It is easy as they say
drowning in the ocean

Bombs away
Now the sky has turned to grey
Like your falling in slow motion

This is what you wanted

Kasabian - Algorithms

We’re not here for a long time
Just here for a good time
This one’s for the weirdos
One day we’ll be hero’s

I’d see you every night if I could
Stuck like glue hanging out
in your neighbourhood

Just watching the days roll by
before

Algorithms taking control
The robots believing they have a soul
They’ll never feel love like this

We’re not here for a long time
Just here for a good time
This one’s for the zeros
One day we’ll be hero’s

I’d see you every night if I could

Try to understand, I got you holding
Back the flood

Do you remember the days before

Algorithms taking control
The robots believing they have a soul

I’ll tell you about it one sunny day
I’ll whisper to you before you go away
You lift me up from solid ground
I promise you, I’ll never let you
I wont let you down, because

Algorithms taking control
The robots believing they have a soul
They’ll never feel love like this

We’re not here for a long time
Just here for a good time

Kasabian - ALCHEMIST

Trying to get away from
The burning in my head
Water hits the rocks
Tide came in

Slow hallucination
Starlights on the sea
I don't wanna stop
Take me too

To a time that we all could believe in
Shut the door on your way if you're leaving
All we heard was the sound of the guns
Just can't take it, take it no more

I was down for the count, needed healing
All the cuts to my heart, they were bleeding
All the words that I want you to say
Just can't take it, take it no more

In my head, I saw no way before
Try to runaway, don't wanna wait no more
The light behind your eyes still shines on, on
This time

And I don't understand the words I hear
After all we've got to let go of the things we fear
And the light behind your eyes still shines on

This time
This time
My time
My time

(The light behind your eyes still shines on, on)

Trying to get away from
The burning in my head
Water hits the rocks
Water hits the rocks
Water hits the rocks
Water hits the rocks
Water hits the rocks
Water hits the rocks

Kasabian - THE WALL

I caught a bad one, I can barely hold on
And now the pizza man won't come
Close the window, get the box set on the stream
And now my angels they won't come

I've got a lot of love to give
It's just a simple way to live

When you hit the wall
As wide as it is tall
And how do we get here?
You know we always get here

Why'd you do it, why'd you have to lose control?
Well, I blame it on my heroes
Said a lot of things I know I will regret
That's the point of getting old

I'm sat in the departure lounge
Just waiting for the check, oh

When you hit the wall
As wide as it is tall
And how do we get here?
You know we always get here

Walk and then you crawl
I can break your fall
And how do we get here?
You know we always get here
You know we always get here
You know we always get here

Sing me a love song, I'm on my way now
Over the dark clouds inside my head

When you hit the wall
As wide as it is tall
And how do we get here?
You know we always get here

Walk and then you crawl (walk and then you crawl)
I can break your fall (I can break your fall)
And how do we get here?
You know we always get here
You know we always get here

You get back up
You get back up again
You get back up
You get back up again
You get back up
You get back up again
You get back up
You know we always get here

I caught a bad one, I can barely hold on
And now my angels sail away

Kasabian - LETTING GO

Got my eyes set on you
But you keep on slipping away
You can't seem to catch a break

I know it's hard believing
Better days are yet to come
You got time to work it out

Even if your head's not right
It'll be alright
If you just start
Letting go

Tomorrow is another day
It'll be okay
If you just start
Letting go

You just start letting go
You just start letting go

I can see you falling
Let your mind just drift away
Are you floating out in space?

Other worlds are waking
You don't have to runway
From the answers that you need
Yeah

Even if your head's not right
It'll be alright
If you just start
Letting go

Tomorrow is another day
It'll be okay
If you just start
Letting go

Just start letting go
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Are you feeling better now?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Just got better now

I remember what you told me that the devil said
I was waiting on another living in your head
But you know you've got it coming, got it coming right
But you feel alive to it, you feel alright
From now on

Even if your head's not right
It'll be alright
If you just start
Letting go

Tomorrow is another day
It'll be okay
If you just start
Letting go

Kasabian - stevie

Stevie, where you going with that gun?

Who you wanna shoot down?

Who you trying to kill?

You've been watching too much TV

It's playing with your memories

It's trying to break your heart

Just calm down, take your medication

It numbs you to the world

Not my world

And all the kids they say

Live to fight another day

Live to fight again

And all the kids they say

Live to fight another day

Live to fight again, again, again, again

There's no life underneath your finger

I dreamt a little bigger

I'm sick and tired of this

If you show us what we can't have

What do you expect when

We take it back from you

'Cause it's no joke, no joke

I wanna open up your eyes wide, eyes wide

I feel it coming but you can't hide, can't hide

I wanna make you see the light

And all the kids they say

Live to fight another day

Live to fight again

And all the kids they say

Live to fight another day

Live to fight again, again, again, again

And the ordinary people

Living ordinary lives

There's more than just existence

I see the fire in your eyes

You knew this all already

It comes as no surprise

It's time to push things forward

'Cause there's no way back, yeah

There's no way back now

Kasabian - CHEMICALS

I wait in line, but nothing ever happens
But I'm dreaming big
For a life to take me over, where nothing really matters
There comes a time

Whatever don't kill you makes you stronger

Hold on, the chemicals ain't got you baby
Feeling so strong, in your mouth it taste much better
Than a loaded gun, and everybody's praying for you
We can make it if you like

Kill the lights, sing a sad song, I don't wanna hear it
We're leaving soon
Kick back, I'll choose the music
All around the colours to lose it
Never wanted your tears in my eyes
Saying oh my God, saying oh my God

Whatever don't kill you makes you stronger

Hold on, the chemicals ain't got you baby
Feeling so strong, in your mouth it taste much better
Than a loaded gun, and everybody's praying for you
We can make it if you like
Let the day turn into night and just hold on

This is the sound of your heart
Beating, beating out of your skin
Don't you know that life keep going?

Hold on, the chemicals ain't got you baby
Feeling so strong, in your mouth it taste much better
Than a loaded gun, and everybody's praying for you
We can make it if you like
Let the day turn into night and just hold on

Kasabian - Ovary Stripe

...

Kasabian - Wasted

Summer is here once again, so I'm told

But you won't catch me in my shorts

I'd rather just sit in this bar and drink all day

Knowing that you'll wander in through the door, door

There's been so much time wasted without you by my side

Remember how we danced off our heads

Under streetlights, such a mad ride

Running from our friends to kiss you in the alleyways by the riptide

There was only us in our world

And the music, it never died, never died, never died

Summer is here once again and there you are

I see you're alone so I make my move

Give me the eyes, the ones that lit the fuse

The eyes that could lift up my feet off the ground, ground, ground

There's been so much time wasted without you by my side

Remember how we danced off our heads

Under streetlights, such a mad ride

Running from our friends to kiss you in the alleyways by the riptide

There was only us in our world

And the music, it never died, never died, never died

Come on now, come on now

Come on, let's get together

Come on now, come on now

Come on, let's get together

There's been so much time wasted without you by my side

Remember how we danced off our heads

Under streetlights, such a mad ride

Running from our friends to kiss you in the alleyways by the riptide

There was only us in our world

And the music, it never died, never died, never died

There's been so much time wasted without you by my side

Remember how we danced off our heads

Under streetlights, such a mad ride

Running from our friends to kiss you in the alleyways by the riptide

There was only us in our world

And the music, it never died, never died, never died

Kasabian - Goodbye Kiss

Doomed from the start

We met with a goodbye kiss, I broke my wrist

It all kicked off, I had no choice

You said that you didn't mind 'cause love's hard to find

Maybe the days we had are gone, living in silence for too long

Open your eyes and what do you see?

No more laughs, no more photographs

Turning slowly, looking back, see

No words can save this, you're broken and I'm pissed

Run along like I'm supposed to, be the man I ought to

Rock'n Roll sent us insane, I hope someday that we will meet again

Running wild

Giving it everyone, now that's all done

Cause we burnt out, that's what you do

When you have everything, it can't be true

Maybe the days we had are gone, living in silence for too long

Open your eyes and what do you see?

The last stand, let go of my hand

Turning slowly, looking back, see

No words can save this, you're broken and I'm pissed

Run along like I'm supposed to, be the man I ought to

Rock'n Roll sent us insane, I hope someday that we will meet again

You go your way and I'll go my way

No words can save us, this lifestyle made us

Run along like I'm supposed to, be the man I ought to

Rock'n Roll sent us insane, I hope someday that we will meet again

Kasabian - Thick As Thieves

There we were, thick as thieves

Frightened by shadows in the autumn leaves
We wore stolen hearts, vintage souls
Aided by lies amongst the meat eating foes

And hey ho, where did it go
When did we lose our sight
And it's a nice show
The ones we perform
Performing them day and night

See the lines upon my face
Walking in circles with the human race
And all the little people they want to be free
But I can get there 'cause I got you holding me back

And hey ho, where did it go
When did we lose our sight
And it's a nice show
The ones we perform
Performing them day and night
Let me be free

I gave you all your scars but you gave me mine
Let the light sing again

There we were, thick as thieves
Frightened by shadows in the autumn leaves
Goodbye my sweet, goodbye
Goodbye

Kasabian - Put Your Life On It

Put your life on it
Put your life on my love
We'll get right on it
Like we always could

We can ride through it
Take the rain out of the storm
Take a chance on it
What you waiting for?

Everybody wants you
You don't even have to try

Put your light on it
Shine a light on our love
You were made for it
You been sent here from above

Tell me can you feel it?
Tell me can you feel it now?

And I, I wanna say I love you
Won't let you down
You never gonna be without
Never gonna stop, never gonna stop

Put your life on it
Put your life on my love
Take the weight from it
Take the weight out of your world

Get the car, we can run
Get the jump on everyone
No limit to my love
No places I won't go

Tell me can you feel it?
Tell me can you feel it now?
(No limit to my love, no places I won't go)

We just gonna sing it
We just gonna sing it loud
Never gonna stop, never gonna stop

And I, I wanna say I love you
Won't let you down
You never gonna be without
It's never gonna stop, never gonna stop

And I, I wanna say I love you
Just one more time
Let me scream it out
It's never gonna stop, never gonna stop

And I, I wanna say I love you
Won't let you down
You never gonna be without
It's never gonna stop, never gonna stop

And I, I wanna say I love you
Just one more time
Let me scream it out
It's never gonna stop, never gonna stop

And I, I wanna say I love you
Just one more time
Let me scream it out
It's never gonna stop, never gonna stop

Put your life on it
Put your life on my love
Put your life on it
Put your life on my love

Kasabian - Reason Is Treason

Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that I'll say goodbye
But I don't turn around, cause the reason is treason
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that I'll say goodbye
But I don't turn around, cause the reason is treason

See the stones coming at my window
See they left me no protection
Tell his family that he will be okay
K-I-LL!

Check the angles from both forces
Overcome by the need to fight it
Fight it, fight it, fight it, fight it
Fight it, fight it, fight it, fight it

Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that I'll say goodbye
But I don't turn around, cause the reason is treason
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that I'll say goodbye
But I don't turn around, cause the reason is treason

I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around

Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that I'll say goodbye
But I don't turn around, cause the reason is treason
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that I'll say goodbye
But I don't turn around, cause the reason is treason
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that I'll say goodbye

Kasabian - Good Fight

She looked cold, I said it's alright
Come with me and fight a good fight
Take my coat and two's a cigarette
Keep on moving on with no regret

She don't like the sun, she love the rain
Let it pour on everyone
She don't want it safe, she want it strange
Set the freaks on everyone

Don't get blinded by the bright lights
Come with me and fight the good fight
Do you feel like a melted sky?
Work it out 'cause there's a reason why

She don't like the sun, she love the rain
Let it pour on everyone
She could have you all, it's just a game
Let me play it all night long

I gone and caught one, I got one good

I try to get through to you
I can't stop myself, I'll always want you

Almost there, I said hold tight
Come with me and fight the good fight
Worked my fingers right to the bone
Don't want to spend the night all alone

She don't like the sun, she love the rain
Let it pour on everyone
She could make the stars give up on fame
Watch them all just sing along

I gone and caught one, I got one good
She said, "You're mouthy, unhealthy"
But I think I would

I try to get through to you
I try to get through to you
I try to get through to you
I can't stop myself, I'll always want you

Kasabian - Where Did All the Love Go?

Never took a punch
In the ribcage sonny
Never met a soul
Who had no shrine
Keep this all in your mind
And get it inside my window

What do we become
Trying to kill each other?
You're faking it son
Gonna get you tonight
I suck another breath
To the hearts of the Revolution
Cause you still ain't right

Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know
I bet you can't see it
Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know
I bet you can't see it

Can't see the signs
Of a real change a commin'
Take another sip
From your hobo's wine
Get yourself a million miles
From this concrete jungle

This is a time
Full of fear full of anger
A hero's exchange for a telephone line
Whatever happened to the
Youth of this generation?
Cause you still ain't right

Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know
I bet you can't see it
Where did all the love go?
Now I don't know why
Oh why

The rivers of the pavement
Are flowing now with blood
The children of the future
Are drowning in the flood

Where did all the love go?
Now I don't know why
I don't know why

In this social chaos
There's violence in the air
Gotta keep your wits about you
Be careful not to stare
Oh oh oh oh

Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know
(I bet you can't see it)
Where did all the love go?
Now I don't know why
Oh why
I bet you can't see it

Kasabian - Bless This Acid House

One day it comes and then it gets you
Crashing waves, you're thinking it's all over
I swear they're never gonna break you
Gotta hold on tight
Still life, just waiting for the weekend
This town is easy to forget
Don't take the world upon your shoulder
Gotta get on home

She said: "God bless this acid house"
She said: "God bless this acid house"
She said

I get high for just one minute
I take my life and jump right in it
I see my friends in all our numbers
Rip up my plans, nothing matters, and I...

Got no reason to lie
Got a reason to try
We got time on our hands, our hands, our hands, our hands

Someday you'll find what you wanted
Felt like you're never gonna get it
Till then we can't miss the last train
Gotta get on home
You know we change for the better
I said it's easy to remember
All we will ever need is right where we are

She said: "God bless this acid house"
She said: "God bless this acid house"
She said

I get high for just one minute
I take my life and jump right in it
I see my friends in all our numbers
Rip up my plans, nothing matters, and I...

Got no reason to lie
Got a reason to try
We got time on our hands, our hands, our hands, our hands

"God bless this acid house"
She said: "God bless this acid house"
She said

I get high for just one minute
I take my life and jump right in it
I see my friends in all our numbers
God bless this house and all its lovers
I get high for just one minute
I take my life and dance right in it
I see my friends in all our numbers
Rip up my plans, they mean nothing, and I...

Got no reason to lie
Got a reason to try
I give all that I got to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you
