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, seeing very clearly
By the way, I'm on my way
For 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 it's day, I'm on my way

For 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 so 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 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
Ill calm down

Kasabian are a rock band from Leicester, England, United Kingdom. The band consists of Tom Meighan (vocals), Sergio Pizzorno (guitar, synths, vocals), Christopher Edwards (bass), Ian Matthews (drums) and guitarist Tim Carter. The band has been compared with the likes of Primal Scream, with their similar electronica-indie rock fusion and Oasis, with whom they share their confidence, vision, swagger and rough vocal style.

The band formed in 1997 in Leicester, England and are named after Linda Kasabian, who was the getaway driver at the Tate-LaBianca murders committed by members of the Manson Family. Their eponymous first album was released in 2004 and received average reviews. However, tracks such as Cutt Off and L.S.F. (Lost Souls Forever) reached the UK Top 10, and with two more Top 20 hits and the album peaking at #4 in the UK Album Chart, they defied the critics.

The second album, Empire, was released on the 28th of August 2006. The first single from the album, also titled Empire, was widely regarded as a musical success, with its change of beat and its catchy chorus. This was then followed by the release of the singles Shoot The Runner and Me Plus One.

The third album, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, was released on the 5th of June 2009. The hit single off the album Fire reached #3 in the Official UK Singles Chart, making it the band's highest charting single to date.

Switchblade Smiles, the first track released from Kasabian's fourth album, Velociraptor!, was debuted during Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio 1 on June 7, 2011. The album was released in September 2011 and became Kasabian's third consecutive #1 album in the UK. Read more on Last.fm.
