you want history

Kaiser Chiefs

Yesterday you lay awake on your bed
Worked out you'd done everything that you said
That you'd do therefore you'd got to be saved
Lord of the bored and a slave to the wage

It's a mystery
It's a mystery
You want history
It's a mystery

Last night you got up and out of this room
The ceiling is peeling and covered in gloom
Jaguar Shoes is a place you can stand
Decisions, a lesson you ought not to learn

It's a mystery...

Today as you shake of the drunken debris
All that is left is the faint memory
Not sure about this line, "I say the downing, the drugs", bbc subtitles say "down in the grouts"
All the nights on the tiles
It's hard to remember but totally worthwhile

It's a mystery...

It's a waste of money
You have to admit
It's a waste of money
You have to have it

It's a waste of braincells
Hard to resist it
If you wanted history you've blown it

If the girls start moving
The boys start moving
If the girls start moving
The boys'll join in
