Lap of Honour (EP)

Kaiser Chiefs Lap of Honour (EP) Lyrics
1.Sink That Ship

Waiting just like before
But just one hour of excitement out of these 24
And now there's 15 minutes to go
Before you said it would be
that long 15 minutes ago

Ooh ooh oooooooh...

Eighteen out of the blocks
They couldn't wait to stop you
so you knocked off their socks
With all the making up for lost time
Makes up past experience and adrenaline

Ooh ooh oooooooh...

Sink that ship, do it all in one go
And you rock that boat, and they can't say no
Do what you like, that's alright
You gotta make mistakes, that's what it takes
Sink that ship, do it all in one go
Seeing all the sights,
cause they're all very nice
Have that next with your eye on the decks
You've gotta take that risk
Or you'll blink and you've missed it

Ooh ooh oooooooh...

Rewind back to the start
I'm good for nothing,
but you looked for the heart
And now you're angry, counting to ten
I wouldn't do it slowly
but I'd do it again

Ooh ooh oooooooh...

Sink that ship, do it all in one go
And you rock that boat, and they can't say no
Do what you like, that's alright
You gotta make mistakes, that's what it takes
Sink that ship, do it all in one go
Seeing all the sights,
cause they're all very nice
Have that next with your eye on the decks
You've gotta take that risk
Or you'll blink and you've missed it


2.Not Surprised

Hey, I'm back again
Did I see you in the park?
But the evening came
And I lost you in the dark

Passed the village green
Where you were crouching by the bins
You were on your own
And hanging by the swings

And I was surprised
Now I'm not surprised
That you changed your mind
And you tried to hide

And I was surprised
Now I'm not surprised
That you changed your mind
And you tried to hide

And I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody except you
I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody else

Hey, I'm back again
Was the world too small for you?
You were gone a year
And you'd done everything to do

It's a sad affair
Because nobody ever wins
Down the fire escape
I'll meet you by the bins

And I was surprised
Now I'm not surprised
That you changed your mind
And you tried to hide
And I was surprised
Now I'm not surprised
That you changed your mind
And you tried to hide

And I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody except you
I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody else

And so far it's been civilised
So far it's been fine
It's just the way it used to be
Remember that you're mine


And I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody except you
I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody else

And I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody except you
I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody else


3.Hard Times Send Me

Hard times send me round the bendy
All I'm spending, is all weekending,
You're on my street, but we don't meet,
I've got neighbours, total strangers

Spend the day with a friend,
relax and go for meal.
Spend the day with a friend..
STOP!!

All week working, two nights drinking,
Was it worth it? What you thinking?
So let's quit work to-morrow morning,
The public transport, smells like urine

I'm the king of the world
and you're the king of my tribe here,
Try to give it a whirl,
You don't know you might even like it,
La la la la
STOP!!


Why you rubbing your eyes?
When you know that its making them redder,
Why you rubbing your eyes,
right now it's not making them better

La la la la la
STOP!!
Ohhhh!


4.Seventeen Cups

Have a cup of tea to pass the time
It doesn't pass enough so I have nine
And everything to do is done for you
And there is nothing left for me outside this room
And it's 'cause secretly I know
I'll be home soon
But that's true

Have another cup to celebrate
It doesn't cheer me up so I have eight
Put my stuff in the washing machine
And you know when it goes in dirty
It comes out clean
There's not much on the TV this afternoon
Except Boone

In my room there's not a lot to do
So if I let you in please don't touch anything
And in my room there isn't much to do
So if I let you in
Don't touch a thing


And everything to do is done for you
And there is nothing left for me outside this room
And you know nothing in this world compares to you
And there is nothing left for you outside this room

And it's like everything you do is done for you
And there is nothing left for me outside this room
And you know nothing in this world compares to you
And there is nothing left for you outside this room

La la la, la la la la la, la la la...


5.Think about you (& i like it)

Hold me down I'm so excited
Feeling good but slightly frightened too
I feel it in my blood and I like it
I think about you,
oh when I'm leaving
Hold me back I'm so exhausted
Never happened like we reported to
It scares me half to death and I like it
I think about you,
oh and I'm leaving town

I think about you
and I think about leaving
I think about you
before I think about breathing
I think about you
when I think about leaving
I think about you...


Oh my God,
I can't believe it
They're still waiting to recieve it now
I take you in my arms
and I like it
I think about you,
oh when I'm leaving home

I think about you
and I think about leaving
I think about you
before I think about breathing
I think about you
when I think about leaving
I think about you...


6.Na Na Na Na Naa (Polysics Remix)

Na na na na naa!
Oooh!

It does not move me
It does not get me going at all!
Na na na na naa!
It does not shift me
It's not the kind of thing
that I like!
Na na na na naa!

It does not move me,
It's not the kind of thing
that I like!
Na na na na naa!

She does not listen
She's too wrapped up
in all of her things!
Na na na na naa!

This does not get to me
Cause she's not the kind of girl
that I like!
Na na na na naa!

Oooh! She does not move me
She's not the kind of girl
that I like!
Na na na na naa!
Oooh!


Na na na na naa!

Oooh!
It does not move me,
It does not get me going at all!

It does not shift me
It's not the kind of thing
that I like!

It does not move me
It's not the kind of thing
that I like!

Na na na na naa!
Ooooh!!


7.Take My Temperature (Live)

Let's take a look at your eyes
they're bloody mental
swelled to the size of
the Lincoln Continental
a bag of pills and a pag of ugly menthols
and i can tell by your teeth
you've had a good life!

you can take my temperature
i got a 2 on 1 to be hip hey hey hey
you can take my temperature
coz i'm a hundred degrees
in the shade over here

you said your sister,
she stumbled to a party
because the someone you like
was at the party
you fell asleep on the coach
before it started
and i can tell by the coach
this is a nice place!

you can take my temperature
i got a 2 on 1 to be hip hey hey hey
and you can take my temperature
coz i'm a hundred degrees
in the shade over here

and now you tell me you've gone south
for the winter
and i can count my friends upon my fingers
my hands are cold and i cannot feel ma fingers
and i can tell by your tan
your pretty healthy

you can take my temperature
i got a 2 on 1 to be hip hey hey hey
and you can take my temperature
coz i'm a hundred degrees
in the shade over here

oooooooh ...

you should take my temperature
i got a 2 on 1 to be hip hey hey hey
and you can take my temperature
coz i'm a hundred degrees
in the shade over here

you can take my temperature
i got a 2 on 1 to be hip hey hey hey
and you can take my temperature
coz i'm a hundred degrees
in the shade over here


8.I Predict A Riot (Hoxton Whores Mix)

Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
Would never have happened to Smeaton
And old Leodiensian
La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot

I tried to get in my taxi
A man in a tracksuit attacked me
He said that he saw it before me
Wants to get things a bit gory
Girls run around with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn't for chip fat,
well they'd be frozen
They're not very sensible

La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there

Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible

La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la


9.What Time Is Love (Live At Radio 1)

The notes'll flow, yo
for the words I speak
Rap is weak so I teach and I reach
A positive vibe,
a way of life is how I'm livin'
So get hype to the rhythm
KLF is the crew, ya hear -- yeah
Design a rhyme I just won't fear
Back to react, enough is enough
Let me ask you a question
What Time Is Love?

what time is love?

The final chapter
prophetic, poetic
When I'm done,
this calls for anesthetic
Get to, step to, let an MC
Come in effect with Kingboy D
A wannabe, gonnabe
ol'time sucka
You know the time, I never stutter
A feat, a dream, a-yeah seem bright
Yeah, pass the mic
What Time Is Love?
what time is love

I wanna see you sweat

what time is love

I wanna see you sweat
