You Want History - Kaiser Chiefs

Yesterday you lay awake on your bed

And worked out you’d done everything that you said

That you’d do before you got to this age

The lord of the bored and a slave to the beige

It’s a mystery

It’s a mystery

You want some history

It’s a mystery

So last night you got up and out of this room

The ceiling is peeling and covered in gloom

But jaguar shoes is a place you can stare

A procession of lessons in what not to wear

It’s a mystery

It’s a mystery

You want some history

It’s a mystery

It’s a waste of money you have to admit

If it’s a waste of money you have to have it It’s a waste of brains but hard to resist

If you wanted mystery you’ve blown it It’s a waste of money you have to admit

If it’s a waste of money you have to have it It’s a waste of brains but hard to resist

If you wanted history you missed it If the girls start moving the boys will start moving

If the girls start moving the boys will join in
