Kaiser Chiefs - Child Of The Jago Lyrics
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
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
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

Kaiser Chiefs Child Of The Jago Comments
What the hell happened to Kaiser chiefs, they went from the brilliance of this and turned into whimpy boy band soundalikes.
Love this album, they lost the plot on the last one, hope the next is better.
GREAT SONG !! On Syd Barrett's way ...
whats Jago?
It's from a 1896 novel A Child Of The Jago. about life in the fictional East end of London "the Old Jago".

The Infiniti commercial song sounds exactly the same.
Good music. For real
το τραγουδι ειναι αριστουργημα...i think the best song ever.....
Πάντα. ;)
The name of the song derives from a book 'A Child of the Jago' written by Arthur Morrison. He wrote it after visiting the Old Nichol (a Slum where 1 in 4 children died before reaching 1 in London) for the purpose of his book he called it the Old Jago or Jago for short. The site of the slum is in Shoreditch, E2 and to combat the poor conditions in they decided to build the first 'Council Estate' on it's site.
Good song though, the book explains the lyrics
kaiser chiefs is the best
couldn't agree more
Child of the Jago is a novel by Arthur Morrison, Old Jago is a made-up area of London
Oh, and the cake is a lie.

I like the 80's sound in their songs. Kaiser Chiefs sounds like the best rock/pop bands in those days. I meant that as a compliment.
Great Brittain of course.
