Kaiser Chiefs: "Retirement" Lyrics

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 Soulmate 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 Will Be Remembered Here Forever More




Brand New Product In Place And A Potential Buyer




Up On 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
