Kaiser Chiefs - Retirement

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
