Retirement - Kaiser Chiefs

There are many things that I would be proud of

If I’d only invented them such as the wheel

The washing machine and the tumble dryer

On these inventions surely I could retire

I want to retire

No longer required

I want to get by without the man on my back

A tear in my eye

With a heart full of pride

I must go out on a high

And tell nobody why

There are many things that I know I could do

If I’d only have wanted to, such as create

The perfect home that everyone would admire

On this creation surely I could retire

I want to retire

No longer required

I want to get by without the man on my back

A tear in my eye

With a heart full of pride

I must go out on a high

And not to answer to why

I want to retire

Inform the suppliers

I’ll leave the party in style

And not to be carried out

Without a cloud in the sky

I Got my fingers in pies

A Golden watch on my side

Will measure my free time

Now my place in History is surely assured

I’ll be remembered here forever more

Brand new product in place and a potential buyer

Upon this next transaction surely I could retire

I want to retire

No longer required

I want to get by without the man on my back

A tear in my eye

With a heart full of pride

I must go out on a high

And not to answer to why

I want to retire

Inform the suppliers

I’ll leave the party in style

And not to be carried out

Without a cloud in the sky

I Got my fingers in pies

A Golden watch on my side

Will measure my free time
