Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Kaiser Chiefs cuenta con este álbum, que es la versión para el mercado estadounidense de su anterior trabajo, "The Future Is Medieval". A diferencia del innovador lanzamiento original, aquí la banda presenta una lista de canciones fija y cerrada. "Start the Revolution Without Me" funciona como la versión "oficial" o curada de ese período creativo tan prolífico.La selección de temas busca un mayor equilibrio y coherencia, creando una experiencia auditiva más tradicional. El disco incluye una canción inédita, "On the Run", que no estaba disponible en la versión personalizable. Es decir, la banda ofrece una toma más concisa y quizás más accesible del material, ideal para quienes no participaron en el experimento original. Es una perspectiva diferente sobre una de las etapas más experimentales y fascinantes del grupo.

- Little Shocks
Letra
I don't want much, I'm happy with what I've got, On the second floor, I pass a ruffian on the stairs, What the driver saw, through?the letter box of number four, I don't have much, It will be deafening when I do And all these little shocks, I'll be riding my imaginary dynamo, I wish I could give you undivided attention every minute of the day but I can't, I wish I could give you undivided attention every minute of the day but I can't Bless my heart, and everything will be explained, In the diaries, especially the latter part. I'll be a somebody, I found an empty glass today at home, Give me ability, turn up the pedal away from his hand And all these little shocks, I'll be riding my imaginary dynamo, I wish I could give you undivided attention every minute of the day but I can't, I wish I could give you undivided attention every minute of the day but I can't, I wish I could have you just a little bit more just a little bit more of your time, I wish I could give you undivided attention every minute of the day but I can't I wish I could give you undivided attention every minute of the day but I can't [x5] And all these little shocks I'll be riding my imaginary dynamo, I wish I could give you undivided attention every minute of the day but I can't, I wish I could give you undivided attention every minute of the day but I can't, I? wish I could have just a little bit more, just a little bit more of your time, I wish I could give you undivided attention every minute of the day but I can't - On the Run
- Heard It Break
Letra
I swear I heard it break I swear I heard it break, break I swear I heard it break, break I swear I heard it break It feels like I broke my heart again but it's just a sprain It feels like I broke my heart again but it's just a sprain I could've sworn that I heard it snap But they tell me it's just a sprain It's been broke before but this hurts some more Stretched beyond normal capacity and possibly torn But they do say a sprain hurts more than a break Or is that just to make you feel better about it? I swear I heard it break I swear I heard it break, break I swear I heard it break, break I swear I heard it break It feels like I broke my heart again but it's just a sprain It feels like I broke my heart again but it's just a sprain Something is wrong a crack in the world That'll never be right again I'm not coping well and it's starting to tell One thousand missed oppurtunites and possibly more All I had to do was to look after you And it turns out that I'm the one who needs looking after I swear I heard it break I swear I heard it break, break I swear I heard it break, break I swear I heard it break It feels like I broke my heart again but it's just a sprain It feels like I broke my heart again but it's just a sprain It feels like I broke my heart again but it's just a sprain It feels like I broke my heart again but it's just a sprain - Kinda Girl You Are

I only wanna see the I only wanna see the kinda girl you are I only wanna see the I only wanna see the kinda girl you are I only wanna see the I only wanna see the kinda girl you are I only wanna see the I only wanna see the kinda girl you are I first heard you on the radio And felt my heart explode No other choice, I heard a voice and fell in love with you From St. Bartholomew's to Gloucester Avenue No one can do what you do, oh I thought you were American, oh oh oh I thought you were American, oh oh oh I only wanna see the I only wanna see the kinda girl you are I only wanna see the I only wanna see the kinda girl you are Then I saw you in a centrefold You were looking cold In just an artfully positioned piece of mistletoe Mentally dressing you, I want to rescue you And make you mine, all mine, oh I thought you were a miracle, oh oh oh I thought you were a miracle, oh oh oh Hey! I thought you were incredible, oh oh oh I thought you were incredible, oh oh oh I only wanna see the I only wanna see the kinda girl you are I only wanna see the I only wanna see the kinda girl you are I only wanna see the I only wanna see the kinda girl you are I only wanna see the I only wanna see the kinda girl you are - Starts with Nothing
Letra
It starts with nothing And it ends in nothing You start with nothing And you leave with nothing It'll start with nothing And will end in nothing You arrive with nothing And you leave with nothing You're on your own on the last train home Open your eyes you have arrived You're on your own again At the end It starts with nothing And it ends in nothing You arrive with nothing And you leave with nothing Nobody knows where the money goes You are alive and a passerby And leave it all behind Never mind It starts with nothing And it ends in nothing You start with nothing And you leave with nothing It'll start with nothing And will end in nothing You arrive with nothing And you leave with nothing Yes that is my final answer Yes that is my final answer Yes that is my final answer Yes that is my final answer Yes that is my final answer Yes that is my final answer You're on your own on the last train home Another tunnel on the circle line With nothing up your sleeve As you leave It starts with nothing And it ends in nothing You start with nothing And you leave with nothing It'll start with nothing And will end in nothing You arrive with nothing And you leave with nothing - When All Is Quiet
Letra
When you've got 24 hours left on the clock What you gonna do? What you gonna do? When you are the last apple pie in the shop What you gonna do? What you gonna do? Think about me Think about me When all is quiet, won't you think about -- Maybe I have missed the greatest day of my life I hope that isn't true I hope that isn't true Ladies I have kissed could've all been my wife But none of them were you None of them were you My darling Oh, my darling Think about me Think about me When all is quiet, won't you think about me? I've been waiting for you (wasting my time) Most of my life (wasting my time) When all is quiet, won't you think about -- Think about me Think about me When all is quiet, won't you think about me? I've been waiting for you (wasting my time) Most of my life (wasting my time) When all is quiet, won't you think about me? Think about me Think about me Think about me When all is quiet, won't you think about me? - Cousin in the Bronx
- Things Change
Letra
Separate me from... Separate this... Life is all, life is always tales of lost and living I could almost feel the breath that you were almost giving I could see the silence in the way that you were talking I could leave the signs and sirens if I could ignore it Friday night, lose a little liberty Saturday night, lose a lot of money Sunday night, think about Friday All my life, things change Things change Things change Life is separated Things change Things change Almost every day In almost every way Sights and sound of love is all that's left of modern living Search for signs of life down alleyways of hidden cities Friday night, lose a bit of sympathy Saturday night, lose a lot of money Sunday night, think about Friday All my life, things change Things change Sights and sounds of modern living I just can't do without the sights and sounds of modern living Things change Things change Things change Sights and sounds of modern living Sights and sounds I just can't do without Things change Almost every day In almost every way Sights and sounds of modern living I just can't do without the sights and sounds of modern living I told the doctor, "Separate us" He warned us, "Both may not survive" Things change - Man on Mars
Letra
Put a man on Mars today It wasn't the first time I've seen it all before Took my hat off in the rain today It wasn't the first time I've seen it all before Trust you Trust you Trust you to know everything about me Trust you Trust you Trust you to know everything about me all along And the coffee is medicine It's hard to remember I've seen it all before And the picture at the factory floor Rats in a suitcase I've seen it all before Trust you Trust you Trust you to know everything about me Trust you Trust you Trust you to know everything about me all along Put a man on Mars today It wasn't the future I've seen it all before Trust you trust you trust you to know eveything about me Trust you trust you trust you to know everything about me all along All along All along All along - Problem Solved

- Child of the Jago
Letra
This is your nightmare calling It's the downside of life in the city Trouble will always find you That's the problem of life in the city It's always a pity That someone goes under I'll show you the worse side of life That you thought was forgotten forever It's not that it's evil there But it's always lurking around Like a child of the Jago A child of the Jago Yeah yeah The city's a cemetary Everywhere that you dig is another Open it up beneath you And the bad things are pulling you under And once you go under You're gone and forgotten Some of the symmetry Between the rooftop pools in the sewer It's easy to disappear When you know that nobody would miss you Like a child of the Jago A child of the Jago Yeah yeah Theres always been weary souls That look like they're straight out of fiction Wretched and weather-beaten With the wind blowing rain in their faces It always disgraces In most modern places There's always a worse kind of place Where it will shock even the sick and the twisted Pocket is there for the picking And the clothes are for living on church day The difference is minor To a child of the Jago Yeah yeah The future is medieval The future is medieval The future is medieval The future is medieval Yeah yeah The future is medieval The future is medieval The future is medieval The future is medieval Yeah yeah The future is medieval The future is medieval - If You Will Have Me
Letra
I don't know if you'll hear this song And if you do you might not know That it's a tribute to the man who made our world go around I don't know if you'll hear this song But if you do you're not alone So dance while you can and cry while you can let the world go around And if you will have me I want to be the son that I was And if you will have me I want to be the boy from the photograph I miss the daily phone call And I miss the good advice And my brother misses everything, he's just looking for you It's the longest of goodbyes So many lows and no real highs There seems so little we can do, we see glimpses of you And if you will have me I want to be the son that I was And if you will have me I want to be the boy from the photograph You can't fight life, so dance while you can You can't fight life, so just dance while you can And if you will have me I want to be the son that I was And if you will have me I want to be the boy from the photograph And if you will have me I want to be the son that I was And if you will have me I want to be the boy from the photograph
