Viciously, she sleeps
Walks alone her lonely beat
She trips, falls into it all
And I wish I bite my lip and
Call her away from you my little one
Oh from you my little one
Don't come too close
You don't wanna see my ghost
Your turn but I'm betrayed
By you my sweetheart
Don't you think that you went too far
Do you want to see my heart bleed?
For you, you and him
Him and you, you know my heart bleeds
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh were gonna steal your signs
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh we're gonna see your...
I'm sorry that I let you go
I let you down, I let you down my dear
I always seem to play these games with you my, dear
I always, I always...
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh were gonna steal your signs
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh we're gonna steal your signs
Oh my Juliet, I'll never betray you my love
Oh my Juliet, I'll never, I'll never betray you
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo
Don't come too close
You don't wanna see my ghost
Your turn but I'm betrayed
By you my sweetheart
Walks alone her lonely beat
She trips, falls into it all
And I wish I bite my lip and
Call her away from you my little one
Oh from you my little one
Don't come too close
You don't wanna see my ghost
Your turn but I'm betrayed
By you my sweetheart
Don't you think that you went too far
Do you want to see my heart bleed?
For you, you and him
Him and you, you know my heart bleeds
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh were gonna steal your signs
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh we're gonna see your...
I'm sorry that I let you go
I let you down, I let you down my dear
I always seem to play these games with you my, dear
I always, I always...
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh were gonna steal your signs
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh we're gonna steal your signs
Oh my Juliet, I'll never betray you my love
Oh my Juliet, I'll never, I'll never betray you
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo
Don't come too close
You don't wanna see my ghost
Your turn but I'm betrayed
By you my sweetheart

"Oh my Julia, I'll never betray you my love
Oh my Julia, I'll never, I'll never betray you my love"
A lot of people think it's Juliet but if you listen carefully enough, you'll hear Julia. Which then is a direct reference to a pivotal scene in George Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four', where the main character Winston declares that he will never betray Julia, but in the end, he does exactly that.
Just thought that added an interesting spin on the song.
Thoughts?
That's how I interpreted it, anyway.
I love the part where he yells "you know my heart BLEEDS", haha. & The part where he says, "we're gonna steal your skies" is just ace. Love them. :]
I think the ghost line is him saying she shouldn't come to close or talk to him because he's dead as a result of her betrayal.
So him and the band are going to go get trashed, and stir up some trouble to make him forget.
But yeah, like someone else said the chorus is about going out with your buddies, hence, "The Kooks are out..." because they'll make him feel better after a pint or two... or three... to mend his broken heart from his cheating girlfriend :]
But I wouldn't say they're the best brits out there like someone else said.
If Blur was still making good music [not the crap they are making now... And I don't mean the poppy stuff either... I mean good old alternative/shoegaze stuff] they would be owning them. But as of now, I gotta sat The Fratellis are doing a bit better. Not one song of theirs I don't like... 'cept maybe Henrietta... And now that The Verve is back, they are gonna be the pwnzors! Cuz The Verve, they are music.
''All of us,we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out,in the streets
Oh,we're gonna steal your skies''
because it's the most fun set of lines i've heard in a kooks song. it suits the kooks inside and out, going out, having fun, as a band.
there is probably a deeper meaning for this
but fuck that
i like my analysis :)
"Dont come too close, you dont want to see my ghost"
i think he means through the word, "Ghost" his insicurities, mistakes, wrongs, basically his SOUL. what he really is.
so when he says the whole thing they are saying that if you try to get too close to me and really get to know me then you might like it or you might not, but you will see ME the real me
ohhhh, i love it =)
the kooks are the best brits out there. i guess this is about getting over an ex or something of the sort. i love the part where it slows down in the middle, his voice is so brilliant.
"you're rotten and i'm betrayed by you, my sweetheart"
this line is so sad, i love it though.
song is ace, vocals BRILLIANT as usual.
loveloveloveit.
