Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Kaiser Chiefs se enriquece con este tercer álbum, un trabajo más ecléctico y experimental. Para este disco, la banda colabora con el aclamado productor Mark Ronson, quien les ayuda a explorar un sonido más pulido y con influencias del pop y el funk. Por consiguiente, el resultado es un álbum más peculiar y diverso que sus predecesores, lleno de texturas y arreglos sorprendentes.De hecho, la producción es más sofisticada, con un mayor uso de sintetizadores y percusiones electrónicas. Además, el disco cuenta con colaboraciones de artistas como Lily Allen o miembros de New Young Pony Club, lo que le da un aire más festivo y colaborativo. Por otro lado, canciones como "Never Miss a Beat" mantienen la energía rockera de la banda, pero dentro de un contexto sonoro más refinado. En resumen, "Off with Their Heads" es un disco divertido y valiente que muestra al grupo en su faceta más juguetona.

Letra
How could we not notice it before? Well you may as well have pinned it to my door Well lately I'm oh so slowly coming around To the fact that this friend is a friend no more And if you think you're right then you are wrong No one every really knew what's going on No we're all so slowly coming around And this friend of a friend was no friend all along The penny drops from the top of Tour Eiffel To the Boulevards to Taj Mahal A penny more through the floor of Sacre Coeur From the Spanish Mane to the Yorkshire Moors - Never Miss a Beat3:09
Letra
What did you learn today? I learnt nothing What did you do today? I did nothing What did you learn at school? I didn't go Why didn't you go to school? I don't know It's cool to know nothing It's cool to know nothing Television's on the blink There's nothing on it I really want a really big coat With words on it What do you want for tea? I want crisps Why don't you join the team? I just did It's cool to know nothing It's cool to know nothing Take a look, take a look Take a look at the kids on the street No they never miss a beat No they never miss a beat Never miss a beat Never miss a beat beat beat beat Take a look at the kids on the street No they never miss a beat No they never miss a beat Never miss a beat Never miss a Never miss a beat Never miss a beat Here comes the referee With lights flashing Best bit of the day Now that's living Why don't you run away?

Letra
In nights of old They lined the roads Off with their heads And always lead Opinion polls Going in and out of Another state of Try not to be obvious With a ringside seat In uniforms Of green and gold Like crocodiles They march in files Of unison Going in and out of Another state of Try not to be obvious With a ringside seat Going in and out of Another state of Try not to be obvious You get the first one free I like it too much I like it too much I like it too much I like it too much You are descended from animals And you are constructed of chemicals The one thing you can't have you like too much You look but you cannot touch I like it all too much Like dominoes One only goes They all will fall Sail the ship Rock the boat - You Want History3:46
Letra
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 - Can't Say What I Mean2:49
- Good Days Bad Days2:54
Letra
Follow the underdog Hold on his collar tight This city loves a scrap One day it's gonna bite Sticks and stones and animal bones Can't stop me from having a good day On a bad day There's good days and bad days Making a night of it Breaking down barriers Drowning your sorrows Upset the regulars Sticks and stones and animal bones Can't stop me from getting away with Good days on bad days If you had a different attitude Instead of take and take and take You have missed an opportunity And that's a really big mistake If you had a different attitude You'd still have good days and bad days - Tomato in the Rain3:51
Letra
Like a tomato in the rain I've got that feeling again Like a grey hound in a race I've got a rabbit to chase Roland and me Know what's going down We got the remedy For what's going around Like a beetle on his back I've got to get back on track Or a policeman on the take, weighted down in a lake If the wheel falls off your cart Hammer in a nail or two Before it falls apart Keep adding more nails and glue Yes I do! I know about you Shall I come home? Roland rat and me Know what's going down We got our memories It all comes back around - Half the Truth3:44
Letra
Girl and boy Everything in full swing Heads or tails Doesn't make a difference Beneath the glamour There was always gonna be Amateur dramatics A lot of bad behaviour I would see Glasses on the table One two three But only you and me Wearing nothing In the lap of luxury Sipping slowly Not a leg to stand on Take my money Waste of paper Leave the table Bad behaviour I got my spies Sitting with me constantly To be my eyes And tell me what I see Cos a ghost Don't feel love or nothing Teflon cow Get ready for the credit clobber Secret mole Getting it together With a big bowl Of alphabet spaghetti Watch the birdie Looking through the mirror Polly want a cracker? That's not what I heard Gentlemen, Turn off your recorders I can hear them buzzing From inside of your tracksuits Got to get to California Where this woman Is threatening to sue me Get right back Back to the beginning Where we start off single And everything's in full swing Everyone's around you wearing big old hats Come on I'm playing the piano now I will not lie to you But I definitely only gave you half the truth I will not lie to you - Always Happens Like That3:13
Letra
Yeh! We plugged it in And we turned it on And we made it up As we went along And it always happens like that So we made a film Starring you and me Just hanging around Turned out to be a smash And it always happens like that You can do what you like But you can't do that You can say what you want But you can't say that You can go anywhere But you can't go there That looks like a letter that I don't want to open And we broke into The muncipal pool And we turned it in- To a madrigal And we made a vow To the holy cow And we set it up Just to knock it down - Addicted to Drugs3:53
Letra
Getting married in the morning It's hardly peaches and cream We haven't got a lot in common Except the daily routine Nothing on the television Just the dust on the screen So come on lets get together Why don't we join a team? You might as well face it you're addicted to drugs You might as well face it you're addicted The greatest poet of the sixth form Turned out to be a fraud Man you got a lot of buddies How do you know them all? - Remember You're a Girl2:38
