retirement

kaiser chiefs

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
