The West Rider Pauper Lunatic

Kasabian The West Rider Pauper Lunatic Lyrics
1.Underdog

Kill me if you dare
Hold my head up everywhere
Keep myself right on this train
I'm the Underdog
Live my life on a lullaby
Keep myself riding on this train
Keep myself riding on this train

Love in technicolour, sprayed out on walls
Well I've been pounding at the pavement
'Til there's nothing at all
I got my cloak and dagger
In a bar room brawl
See the local loves a fighter
Loves a winner to fall

Feels like I'm lost in a moment
I'm always losing to win
Can't get away from the moment
Seems like it's time to begin

Kill me if you dare
Hold my head up everywhere
Keep myself right on this train
I'm the Underdog
Live my life on a lullaby
Keep myself riding on this train
Keep myself riding on this train

It don't matter
I won't do what you say
You've got the money and the power
I won't go your way
And I can't take for the people
They don't matter at all
And I'll be waiting in the shadows
'Til the day that you fall

Feels like I'm lost in a moment
And I'm always losing to win
Can't get away from the moment
Seems like it's time to begin

Kill me if you dare,
Hold my head up everywhere
Keep myself right on this train

I'm the Underdog,
Live my life on a lullaby
Keep myself riding on this train

Tell me if you're down
Throw your weapons to the ground
Keep myself riding on this train

Hey bud your on the wire
Sold yourself for another one
Keep myself riding on this train
Keep myself riding on this train


2.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
Coz 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 the concrete jungle

This is a time
Full of fear full of anger
A heroe's exchange
for a telephone line
Whatever happened to the
Youth of this generation?
But 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

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)

4.Fast Fuse

Whow baby I was born
With a fast fuse
Got no time to love
Just a signal to abuse

Whow baby i was born
With a fast fuse
Got no time to love
Just a signal to abuse

Come get me
If you're fast don't arrest me
I'm like Lucifer's child, wild, acid done
Blast a cut to shake the mornin' sun

Come get me
All you fuckers can't touch me
I'm a hooligan cryer, sigher, sit don't scatter,
It don't matter
Give me one, two, three

Cold lightening in the skyline
Cold lightening in the sky

Whow baby i was born
With a fast fuse
Got no time to love
Just a signal to abuse

Whow baby i was born
With a fast fuse
Got no time to love
Just a signal to abuse

Don't you say goodbye
No you ain't above the night

How dare you!
Now it's time to address you
I'm the reason you came, shame, shout my name
See my fist chopping off your reign

It's getting hotter
Now I'm spitting out lava
I was better than the worst, just, genuine stock
Hear their bomb going tick, tick, tock

Cold lightening in the skyline
Cold lightening in the sky
Cold lightening in the skyline
Cold lightening in the sky

Whow baby I was born
With a fast fuse
Got no time to love
Just a signal to abuse

In the middle of the night
When they come for you
Where you gonna be
whatcha gonna do?!

Heaven may come,
Heaven may come,
But I won't be there
Hey! Hey!

Heaven may come,
Heaven may come,
But I won't be there
Hey! Hey!

Heaven may come,
Heaven may come,
But I won't be there
Hey! Hey!

Heaven may come,
Heaven may come,
But I won't be there
Hey! Hey!


5.Take Aim

Nightmares, oh nightmares come on now
Getting my days all wrong now
Risen from prison an outlaw
Spending our time in the lion's jaw
In the end you sink or swim
I'm eager, I'm eager...

Loving more loving come on now
Socially biting your tongue now
Run down oh run down old houses
Feeding the cats to the mouses

Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Can you see me in the way now
Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Gotta get us out of here

Drop them and give them star prizes
Lock them away in high rises
Held off and called on by truncheons
Rattling keys to the dungeons

Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Can you see me in the way now
Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Gotta get us out of here

Don't take me over
I bid you all farewell
I've got to leave...
Tears on my shovel
Switch me off today

Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Can you see me in the way now
Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Gotta get us out of here

Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Can you see me in the way now
Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Gotta get us out of here

Don't take me over
I bid you all farewell
I've got to leave...


6.Thick As Thieves

There we were, thick as thieves,
frightened by shadows and in the Autumn leaves.
We wore stolen hats, fitted soles,
aided by lies among...

Hey oh, where did we go?
When do we lose our sight?
And it's a nice show the one we perform,
performing it day and night

See the lights upon my face,
walking in circles with the human race
And all the little people, they want to be free,
but I can't get there
cause I've got you holding me back.

Hey oh, where did we go?
When do we lose our sight?
And it's a nice show the one we perform,
performing it day and night.
And we'd be free.

I gave you all the Earth's skies,
but you gave me night.
I gave you all the Earth's skies,
but you gave me night.
I gave you all the Earth's skies,
but you gave me night.
I gave you all the Earth's skies,
but you gave me night.
Let the lights sing again.

There we were, thick as thieves,
frightened by shadows and in the Autumn leaves.
Goodbye my sweet, goodbye, goodbye...


7.West Ryder Silver Bullet

Mist covers the ground
In the city
Engine rumbles quiet
As we drift by

I wish you could see it
Through my crooked eye
Oh your beauty
Plays me just like a guitar string (it's so 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
Travelling we'll burys Polly's photofits
And this stolen car
Is loaded with junk
It's so dirty
He'll be the death of me
But that's ok

I want your touch
Oh how I want you far too much
She my baby
He's my baby


8.Vlad The Impaler

Face check I walk this beach
I'm frying in the heat in the cauldron stir me
Chomp down my diamond teeth I ain't got
The simple things in life I feel like
You have got to witness
This is your last retreat
My last repeat

All my friends are as sharp as razors
cut you down if you touch the faders
High class girls hung in elevators
Now we have got the floor
Get loose get loose (x8)

You can't miss me I'm still alive
Snake skin shoes I'm pleading homicide
Come on and feel this I'm still alive
Joker meet you on the other side

Banshie I hear you call
We need to raise the dead
We need to raise the people
Cut throat this blood runs thick
It is true the simple things in life have been lost
You have got to witness
We are the last beatniks
The lost heretics

All my friends are as sharp as razors
cut you down if you touch the faders
Listen up all you masqueraders
Now we have got the floor
Get loose get loose (xn)

You can't miss me I'm still alive
Snake skin shoes I'm pleading homicide
Come on and feel this I'm still alive
Joker meet you on the other side


9.Ladies & Gentlemen (Roll The Dice)

I tell you something isn't right
The way i'm feeling kept me up all night
I fix myself another drink
I guess that's crazy i need time to think
And all the good ones got away
All the good ones gone to waste

And I take another hit
And do I really get my joy stealing?
All the TV's hypnotised
All the loonies on the rise
And old man what I got to tell you

Tonight Ladies and Gentlemen
I roll the dice
Just gimmie that dice
It's been so hard working for no one
I roll the dice
Just gimmie the dice

Wakey wakey rise and shine
Put down your souvenirs I think it's time
We've been dead behind the eyes
Switching stations as our country dies

No matter what you do, you know
The world it keeps on turning
We never feel a thing
Come on and meet me at the Carnival

Tonight Ladies and Gentlemen
I roll the dice
Just gimmie that dice
It's been so hard working for no one
I roll the dice
Just gimmie that dice

No matter what you do, you know
The world it keeps on turning
We never feel a thing


10.Secret Alphabets

This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains
Climb into your eye
Nobody's hurting and nobody's lying
They climb into your eye
Never to die...

They say the man he used to sail on his journey
And laid a trap so much
The pilgrims for their money
He placed his gold all over this world

And in morning as he looked out over Cairo
He makes his process
And his smoked them in a barrum
He could not die
And we never found out why

This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains
Climb into your eye
Nobody's hurting and nobody's lying
They climb into your eye
Never to...

This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains
Climb into your eye
Nobody's hurting and nobody's crying
They climb into your eye
Never to die...

No one's getting older
Everybody's feeling young
Journey's almost over now
There's hope for everyone

This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains close
(This is the end of time)
This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains close
(This is the end of our life)


11.Fire

Shake me into the night
And I'm an easy lover
Take me into the fight
And I'm an easy brother
And I'm on fire

Burn my sweet effigy
I'm a road runner
Spill my guts on a wheel
I wanna taste uh-huh
And I'm on fire
And I'm on fire
And I'm on fire
I'm on fire

Wire me up to machines
I'll be your prisoner
Find it hard to believe
You are my murderer
I'm on fire behind you
Heads a fallen sky
I'm on fire
I'm on fire

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Move on, You got to move on
Im gonna get you real good
So you can shake on
Move on, You got to move on
Im gonna get ya real good
So you can shake on


12.Happiness

I will follow you now
Wherever you go
I'll be with you now
Stick around forever
And I never wanna see those tears again
No no
When will you realise
That I ain't that tough

Save what you got
Keep it safe
Don't ever stop
There's nothing more
It's nothing less
It's all we got
It's happiness
It's happiness...
Ain't that right
Ain't that right

And I will have a thousand dreams
Of how I care for you
Through these careless dreams
Look into the future
And I never wanna see those tears again
No no
When will you realise
That you make me breath out

Save what you got
Keep it safe
Don't never stop
It's nothing more
It's nothing less
It'sall we got
It's happiness
Happiness
Oh it's always been you
It's always been you

And I know you got to make it right
Handing out my feelings
On these goods are too loud
Oh and it don't matter
Yeah I pay my dues
And you know there's one thing
That keeps us together
It's gonna keep us together
Now now now now

Save what you got
Keep it safe
Don't ever stop
It's nothing more
It's nothing less
It's all I got
It's happiness
Happiness!
