Kasabian - Man Of Simple Pleasures Lyrics






I'm a man, a man of simple pleasures
I got all I need, so give me whisky measures
With dyslexic eyes I'm seeing very clearly
By the way, I'm on my way
But all of my life, I've been treated like a fool
But I'm no one's fool

Here I go once again trying hard to pretend
There's a future in your man made rules
I'll be governed by the road, get to shed this heavy load
I see no future, so leave me alone in the past

I am told, the world is nearly ending
But when I look outside the birds are always singing
You throw sticks and bones
Remember every dog will have its day, I'm on my way
But all of my life, I've been treated like a fool
But I'm no one's fool

Here I go once again trying hard to pretend
There's a future in your man made rules
I'll be governed by the road, get to shed this heavy load
I've seen your future, so leave me alone in the past

Go on, let the righteous guide you home to where you belong
I'll stay, dancing to my favourite tune, that's where I belong

You won't take me for a ride
I'm far too fast for you to keep up with me
You won't take me for a ride
Never catch the man that need no money

I'm not gonna be standing in the line
Waiting for you just to pick me out

You won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride
You won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride

    Kasabian have been there throughout the highest and lowest points of my life. They are beyond a ''cool band''. For me they are music equivalent of stepping into Thorpe Park as a child, going to your first concert experience or thinking about something exciting in the future to look forward to. Thank you Kasabian.

    I'm a man, a man of simple pleasures
    I got all I need, so give me whiskey measures

    But I'm no one's fool

    Here I go once again trying hard to pretend
    There's a future in your man made rules
    I'll be governed by the road, get to shed this heavy load
    I see no future, so leave me alone in the past

    I am told, the world is nearly ending

    Go on, let the righteous guide you home to where you belong
    I'll stay, listen to my favorite tunes, that's where I belong

    You won't take me for a ride
    I'm far too fast for you to keep up with me
    You won't take me for a ride
    Never catch them really need no money
    (I'm not gonna be standing in the line
    Waiting for you just to kick me out)
    You won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride
    You won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride

  52. H.... ....

  53. J.... L....

    transportant

  54. M.... 2....

  55. l.... ....

    Very high ping

  56. D.... ....

    Reminds on Gorillaz

  57. P.... L....

    I wonder if he got to keep all the shirts?

  58. h.... c....

    1:36. I like that line.

  59. J.... W....

    One if the best tunes of all time. Better than bach and the Beatles.

  60. E.... R....

    my personal favourite.. I could listen to it 100 times and I never get bored of it

  61. O.... S....

    I love this song.

  62. A.... ....

    the part from 2:39 min. on is amazing! great song.

  63. j.... p....

    one of my favorite

  64. I.... H....

    These guys/Gods finished what The Stone Roses started.

  65. N.... ....

    come to Serbia!

  66. L.... ....

    It sounds just  like ''Morcheeba - Blindfold''

    L.... ....

    Every time I have herd this track I have gone Morcheeba ! LUCA you're spot on there.

  67. P.... C....

    its just you kasabian are unique

  68. Z.... J....

    it sounds like The Importance of Being Idle. Definitely Oasis vibes in there!

  69. A.... H....

    Must have been a pain in the arse changing shirt and then get up on the bike again so many times.

  70. T.... E....

    I had always understood "Oh love of my life, I've been treated like a fool" hehe ;)

  71. M.... B....

    I can perceive some Gorillaz influence. Awesome

    M.... B....

    Rhythm and bassline in the verse similar but not quite the same and the rest is totally different so just influence really not a copy.

  72. S.... P....

    Perfect ensemble of song and video. It's almost impossible to listen to the song without thinking about the video.

  73. B.... W....

    fucking love this song

  74. M.... ....

    Gorillaz similar theme brought me here

  75. L.... i....

    most underrated kasabian song

    L.... i....

    Peter Neilan Because Kasabian is the most underrated band.

    L.... i....

    Tom preston It was fairly well known when it came out though

    L.... i....

    It's my fave

    L.... i....

    Live it indie arguably

    L.... i....

    Butcher Blues is the most underrated

  76. K.... A....

    like my bosnien poepellll!!!

  77. D.... ....

    GORILLAZ STYLE

    D.... ....

    fuck, my thoughts man

  78. p.... k....

    I love this song. Love, not like. It supports me during my own life when I have some troubles, perfect words, nice slow music. If I choose my favorite songs, I would include this one with 110 % probability

    p.... k....

    me also ;)

  79. 1.... ....

    The best of Kasabian, in my humble opinion...:-)

    1.... ....

    Best Kasabian album? I think so x

  80. S.... ....

    Masterpiece, Much love from Leicester.

  81. z.... ....

    Does anyone know where this video was shot? I know it was filmed in South London (according to the production companies website) but what estate is is? Maybe Aylesbury Estate or Milford Towers? I know I've walked past some of those buildings many times before but I can't quite put my finger on where they are.

    z.... ....

    to me, it looks like streatham, but it probably isn't lol

    z.... ....

    z00ts00t77 defo not Aylesbury.

  82. T.... ....

    Some songs are born classy...

    T.... ....

    Here here

  83. M.... S....

    I'm just so interested in to how they made this video, anyone know?

    M.... S....

    Editing programs. Probably some poor bastard paid way less that he deserves due to the massive ammount of people able to do this.

    M.... S....

    Its kind of stop motion... small clips of video edited together must have taken a while though.

    M.... S....

    Not to mention having it sync exactly right with the words being sung. A long time to make this video I'd imagine but it's cool

  84. n.... ....

    this is the BEST song EVER written,pure MASTERPIECE..video rocks,too.

    n.... ....

    nomadichronicle top fuckin draw

  85. B.... D....

    Is this my bike?!?

  86. f.... ....

    Like most of the modern bands careers built on about four songs

  87. T.... O....

    Does anyone know what kind of bicycle does the guy use?

    T.... O....

    +Pepe González it's called a BMX

  88. v.... z....

    hammer lied

  89. B.... :....

    you got to really want a play baseball, cycling in dirt town with a baseball bat on your back...
    and by the way, casting could have choose a guy who could swing a baseball bat to do this vid, i am a fan... and this SUCK!

    B.... :....

    in Europe it hardly matters :D

    B.... :....

    @tkzsfen
    they should make him swing a cricket paddle then...and see how they react in EUROPE.

    B.... :....

    No one would care, believe me. It's just a music video. If he would try to kick a football and did it poorly, I wouldn't give a single damn about it.

    B.... :....

    @Borys Weiner
    some sport fans love music and good artistic direction too...just sayin.

    B.... :....

    chill. maybe they wanted someone amateur in baseball. and in the end its a clip

  90. S.... d....

    Spagetti western Oasis

    S.... d....

    Serge de Mat Morricone style!!*

  91. M.... ....

    Never catch the man who need no money

    M.... ....

    Really a smart thing to point out.
