Kaiser Chiefs - Don't Just Stand There, Do Something Lyrics

This is a CRACKING album, as always. Looking forward to seeing them in the O2 tonight!!

I was there tonight - hope you had an awesome night as I did 😀

Top song! Liking the sound of your newest noises ;)

She were lying in the bathroom
I was banging on the door
She was crying in a puddle
On the laminate floor

I was screaming out, "Let me in
You've had too much gin
You better come out or I'm kicking it in"
The door unlocked, my heart stopped
I froze and she said

Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Do something

A 24-hour garage
And it's in my hand
As a telephone it's average
But it's worth a grand

A gang of youths started throwing abuse
Your money or your Nikes, do I have to choose?
All pride lost, stood in my socks
I froze and I thought

Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Do something

It would be useful
If you knew that everything you say and do
Potentially could change tomorrow
And if you're all still sleeping there
Without the power without a care
Don't mention me when your alarm goes, yeah

Life is just a beer garden
A sunny afternoon
There's always one drunk hard man
Singing out of tune

A plastic chair flies through the air
The lager tops go everywhere
The jukebox clicks, a record sticks
And we froze, everybody sang

Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something

It would be useful
If you knew that everything you say and do (do something)
Potentially could change tomorrow (do something)
And if you're all still sleeping there
Without the power without a care (do something)
Don't mention me when your alarm goes off

Instant Kaiser classic :-)

😉👍👍👍 I love this song!

Very good album

I say is very funny listen every song in this album and put it every one in the others

Sound like a mix from Kasabian, Imagine Dragons and The Killers with Kaiser Chiefs essense. I like it.

@TJGornik61 nahh Ricky's voice is alot deeper. Fratellis jumped on the bandwagon of what the Kaiser chiefs created.

@The Rusty Wizard forgive me for posting my obviously uninformed opinion, didn't expect or meant to induce a negatively critical response

@TJGornik61 not negativity. Its just kaisers have always had vocals like this. I doubt they listen to fratellis and thought "let's sound like them". I'm a musician forgive me.

@The Rusty Wizard ahh, I was inferring that it was "me" that was getting the Fratellis vibe, not inferring that KC were possibly being influenced, sorry for the confusion. I am just now discovering the depth of the Chiefs body of work, and very much liking what I'm hearing! Cheers!!

@TJGornik61 honestly mate their earlier b-sides and fourth album is mega! A total ride. Almost similar to beatles/bowie/Floyd they change up their sound all the time. Which is good although I would have to say "stay together" is not that good. Almost seems like rickys voice and the production was very low quality. BUT their new album has a few nicer songs. "listen to your head" from a few years back is also a very good song. Great band! Lovely people too. I've had a drink with them. Had a great laugh with Ricky and Nick hodgson. Sorry if I sounded abit meh earlier. I just really like kaisers and I did listen to fratellis new stuff but I wasn't impressed with the jangly production. If you meant Chelsea dagger then I do understand what ya mean. Anyway enjoy kaisers. Modern way is an all time fav 😉

I just heard this song in a dvd shop and here I am
