Sobre el álbum
Tras el éxito masivo de su debut, la banda regresa con Yours Truly, Angry Mob, un álbum que suena más grande, más potente y considerablemente más cínico. En este trabajo, Kaiser Chiefs reflexiona sobre los efectos de la fama y la cultura de la celebridad. Aunque mantiene su sonido enérgico, las letras adquieren un tono más oscuro y crítico, como si observaran el mundo desde una nueva y menos inocente perspectiva.El disco contiene su mayor éxito internacional, "Ruby", una canción de pop-rock impecable. El resto del álbum es más afilado y menos optimista; por ejemplo, en temas como "The Angry Mob", la banda critica directamente la cultura de la indignación. La producción es más robusta, diseñada para sonar imponente en los grandes estadios que ya comenzaban a llenar. Es un disco que consolida su estatus de superestrellas, pero con una mirada de desconfianza.

Letra
Let it never be said The Romance is dead 'Cause there's so little else Occupying my head There is nothing I need Except the function to breathe But I'm not really fussed Doesn't matter to me Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Do you, do you, do you, do you Know what you're doing, doing, to me Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Due to lack of interest Tomorrow is canceled Let the clocks be reset And the pendulums held 'Cause there's nothing at all Except the space in-between Finding out what you're called And repeating your name Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Do you, do you, do you, do you Know what you're doing, doing, to me Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Could it be, could it be That you're joking with me? And you don't really see you and me Could it be, could it be That you're joking with me? And you don't really see you and me Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Do you, do you, do you, do you Know what you're doing, doing, to me Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Do you, do you, do you, do you Know what you're doing, doing, to me - The Angry Mob4:48
Letra
I can prove anything I'll make you admit again and again I can prove anything The way that it's read again and again And its only cos you came here with your brothers too If you came here on your own you'd be dead Its only cos you follow what the others do Its no excuse to say your easily lead You can choose anything You choose to lose again and again You could do anything Why should you do anything again And its only cos you came here with your brothers too If you came here on your own you'd be dead Winding yourself up until your turning blue Repeating everything that you've read And here we go with the letter Well can you fix it for me Cos we need entertainment To keep us all off the streets So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed You can try anything And no-one would know apart from you and me You can stop anything It's starts with just one and turns to two then three Its only cos you came here with your brothers too If you came here on your own you'd be dead Raise a glass or two You raise a fist or two Get a shopping basket wrapped round your head So here we go with the letter Oh can you fix it for me 24 hour drinking To keep us all off the streets So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we're also easily swayed - Heat Dies Down3:56
Letra
I can just imagine you and me Running out of steam Going through the motions I have no idea how you know When I dip my toes In other people's oceans You have local knowledge Of the local area And that impressed me quite So I tried that night To do all the things I thought you'd like But that just made it worse And I impressed you not Well not a lot So we started from the start... When the heat dies down I'll be back in town But until that time I'll be round at mine When the heat dies down We'll be back in town But until that time I'll be round at mine When the heat dies down, When the heat dies down, When the heat dies down, When the heat dies down... I can not imagine growing old To have and to hold 'Til death do part each other 'cause I doubt I could stomach 20 years Spending time at hers And talking to that mother. I've got wider knowledge of the world I just can't face another argument about the rent, It all seems unimportant In the grander scheme of things But I was purpose built To not feel guilt So we ended at the end. When the heat dies down, I'll be back in town, But until that time, I'll be round at mine When the heat dies down, We'll be back in town, But until that time, I'll be round at mine When the heat dies down, When the heat dies down, When the heat dies down, When the heat dies down... - Highroyds3:19
Letra
I remember nights out when we were young They weren't very good they were rubbish Running round Highroyds isn't fun Just teenagers testing their courage Hanging outside nightclubs in the snow Not very cool or impressive They let in all the girls from the year below No need for ID's with those dresses Got news from afar From a girl who knows who we are Still got my dinner money She can keep it Never had a fight that we haven't lost Not very tough or athletic Once I had a boxing champ in a headlock When he gets out I'll regret it Got keys to a car Picked up a girl from Boston Spa Fast food and cinema It's not worth it Got word from down south He'd heard about us word of mouth We haven't much stayed in touch Since Highroyds Let it go, let it go Cos no ones gonna tell you but a friend He's gone and he is gone and everybody went along And nobody was left here in the end Got news from Uncle Hew Through a second cousin once removed Too late there's a housing estate It's called Highroyds Got a text from an ex She wants to know when we're in London next Will you write a song about me I don't think so - Love's Not a Competition (But I'm Winning)3:17
- Thank You Very Much2:37
Letra
Didn't expect any of this But it was really nice Didnt want you to cause a fuss But it feels alive So Thank you very much Its really nice to know That you enjoyed the show And I want you to know when to go Cos this should be a thrill But it feels like a drill Now you must let me go, let me go I just imagine that of you And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do I just imagine that of you And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do I just imagine that of you And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do I just imagine that of you And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do I remember what it was like And it was really nice Never thought I would experience this From the other side So Thank you very much It's really nice to know That you enjoyed the show And I want you to know when to go Cos this should be a thrill But it feels like a drill Now you must let me go, let me go I just imagine that of you And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do I just imagine that of you And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do I just imagine that of you And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do I just imagine that of you And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do - I Can Do It Without You3:24
Letra
None of the buildings even look the same, And underneath them all the shops have changed. I don't pretend they're in a lot more pain, Stocking much too young for the professionals to stay in. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. I'm returning to the North again Everybody has to talk on the train. And if you've got nothing thats clever to say, Nobody's listening to you anyway. 'Cos I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. But it wouldn't be very good. La la la, la la la la la la la la la, etc. What you want here? It doesn't matter! I don't think that it can be done without you. What you doing? It doesn't matter! But everything that's done is all about you We convince each other nothing has changed Nobody else will ever write the same The adaptation for the stage is now playing For your protection all the names have been changed I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. But it wouldn't be very good. - My Kind of Guy4:06
Letra
Well it starts as a joke Like a stick in your spokes Or removing the bolt of the brakes Then the bicycle flips Crushing ribs smashing hips And he broke every bone in his face Now you're out of control And you can't fill the hole That was left by the thrill of the chase You're a right piece of work All the flakes go berserk Have you forgotten how good they taste You're my kind of guy Cos I like your style And you sound as horrible as me And I don't mind if you're unkind Cos you're reminding me of me As the bicycle race Gathers speed, gathers pace And you feel that you're going too fast Theres a word to the wise You should take some advice As the nice guys always finish last You're my kind of guy Cos I like your style And you sound as horrible as me And I don't mind if you're unkind Cos you're reminding me of me You're my kind of guy Cos I like your style You sound as horrible as me And heads will roll As it takes its toll On you and me - Everything Is Average Nowadays2:44
Letra
Sooooooooooooooooooooooo Everything is average nowadays Everything is average nowadays Everyone would do it if they can And everything is going down the pan And everyone is following the craze And everything is average Now you say it's getting better But I don't really see the signs Said it is too different You thought it would be suicide Not much to believe in Left up on a shelf So get your coats we're leaving We'll just do something else Ohhhh Everything is average nowadays Everything is average nowadays And everything is of no consequence Cos everyone is sitting on the fence And everything will always stay the same Cos everything is average Now you said you didn't mean it You threw away the book of rules You thought that we should read it I wouldn't even know how to Not much to believe in Left up on the shelf So get your coats we're leaving We'll just do something else All I need is a ball and a wall Or a sledge and a hill in heavy weather All I need is a ball and a wall A sledge and a hill in heavy weather Oh oh oh oh etc. Not much to believe in Left up on the shelf So get your coats we're leaving We'll just do something else Sooooooooooooooooooooooo Everything is average nowadays Everything is average nowadays Everyone would do it if they can And everything is going down the pan And everyone is following the craze And everything is average nowadays - Learnt My Lesson Well5:25
Letra
I'm just waiting for The man to come with all my things And i'm just waiting for Another man to take it all And its not hard to tell That I learnt my lesson well And I'm just waiting for The man to come and go away What are you waiting for Get up off your seat Its just seven days Feels like a week What are you moaning for You got all that you want Your life could be worse You could be a nurse It seems so sensible For us to keep the purse strings tight And move the decimals A couple of places to the right And its not hard to tell That I learnt my lesson well It seems most sensible But not exactly what we'd like What are you waiting for Get up off your seat Its just seven days Feels like a week What are you moaning for You got all that you want Our life could be worse You know, we all could be cursed I Can't help feel like this So don't rearrange it I don't mean to be a dick I just don't like the changes I can not help the things I say You know wouldn't to strangers But I don't like going away Cos it puts me in danger I can tell you now There ain't a problem can't be solved With a good old fashioned row So grit your teeth and stand your ground And its not hard to tell That I learnt my lesson well But I'm still waiting for The man to come with all my things What are you waiting for Get up off your seat It's just seven days Feels like a week What are you moaning for You got all that you want Your life could be worse You could leave in a hearse - Try Your Best3:42
Letra
I can't do it any quicker I don't want it any slicker As far as the eye can see Is miles and miles of icy sea. So try your best And think about it later Or you will never know I don't feel fear anymore But I can't risk getting mauled As far as the ear can hear The wave is coming loud and clear So try your best And think about it later Or you will never know So try your best And think about it later Or you will never know Which way your life could go And you'll know when you know So try your best And think about it later Or you will never know Which way your life could go And you'll know when you know - Retirement3:53
Letra
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
