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 - 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 - My Kind Of Guy

Well it starts as a joke
Like a stick in your spokes
Or removing the bolt of the brakes

Then the bicycle flips
Crushing ribs smashing hips
And he broke every bone in his face

Now you're out of control
And you can't fill the hole
That was left by the thrill of the chase
You're a right piece of work
All the flakes go berserk
Have you forgotten how good they taste

You're my kind of guy
Cos I like your style
And you sound as horrible as me
And I don't mind if you're unkind
Cos you're reminding me of me

As the bicycle race
Gathers speed, gathers pace
And you feel that you're going too fast
There's a word to the wise
You should take some advice
As the nice guys always finish last

You're my kind of guy
Cos I like your style
And you sound as horrible as me
And I don't mind if you're unkind
Cos you're reminding me of me

You're my kind of guy
Cos I like your style
You sound as horrible as me
And heads will roll
As it takes its toll
On you and me

Kaiser Chiefs - Everything Is Average Nowadays

So everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
But everyone would do it if they can
When everything is going down the pan
When everyone is following the craze
Of everything is average

Now you say it's getting better
But I don't really see the signs
Said it is too different
You thought it would be suicide

There's not much to believe in
Left up on a shelf
So get your coats, we're leaving
We'll just do something else

Oh, everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
But everything is of no consequence
'Cos everyone is sitting on the fence
And everything will always stay the same
'Cos everything is average

Now you said we didn't need it
You threw away the book of rules
You thought that we should read it
I wouldn't even know how to

There's not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coats, we're leaving
We'll just do something else

All I need is a ball and a wall
Or a sledge and a hill in heavy weather
All I need is a ball and a wall
A sledge and a hill in heavy weather

Not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coats, we're leaving
We'll just do something else

Oh, everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
When everyone would do it if they can
When everything is going down the pan
When everyone is following the craze
When everything is average nowadays
