Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Viciously, she sleeps
Walks alone her lonely beat
She trips, falls into it all
And I wish I bite my lip and
Call her away from you my little one
Oh from you my little one
Don't come too close
You don't wanna see my ghost
Your turn but I'm betrayed
By you my sweetheart
Don't you think that you went too far
Do you want to see my heart bleed?
For you, you and him
Him and you, you know my heart bleeds
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh were gonna steal your signs
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh we're gonna see your
I'm sorry that I let you go
I let you down, I let you down my dear
I always seem to play these games with you my, dear
I always, I always
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh were gonna steal your signs
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh we're gonna steal your signs
Oh my Juliet, I'll never betray you my love
Oh my Juliet, I'll never, I'll never betray you
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo (All of us, we're going out tonight)
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo (We're gonna walk all over your cars)
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo (All of us, we're going out tonight)
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo (The Kooks are out in the streets oh were gonna steal your signs)
Don't come too close
You don't wanna see my ghost
Your turn but I'm betrayed
By you my sweetheart
Walks alone her lonely beat
She trips, falls into it all
And I wish I bite my lip and
Call her away from you my little one
Oh from you my little one
Don't come too close
You don't wanna see my ghost
Your turn but I'm betrayed
By you my sweetheart
Don't you think that you went too far
Do you want to see my heart bleed?
For you, you and him
Him and you, you know my heart bleeds
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh were gonna steal your signs
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh we're gonna see your
I'm sorry that I let you go
I let you down, I let you down my dear
I always seem to play these games with you my, dear
I always, I always
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh were gonna steal your signs
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh we're gonna steal your signs
Oh my Juliet, I'll never betray you my love
Oh my Juliet, I'll never, I'll never betray you
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo (All of us, we're going out tonight)
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo (We're gonna walk all over your cars)
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo (All of us, we're going out tonight)
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo (The Kooks are out in the streets oh were gonna steal your signs)
Don't come too close
You don't wanna see my ghost
Your turn but I'm betrayed
By you my sweetheart

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ace song :]
But yeah, like someone else said the chorus is about going out with your buddies, hence, "The Kooks are out..." because they'll make him feel better after a pint or two... or three... to mend his broken heart from his cheating girlfriend :]
But I wouldn't say they're the best brits out there like someone else said.
If Blur was still making good music [not the crap they are making now... And I don't mean the poppy stuff either... I mean good old alternative/shoegaze stuff] they would be owning them. But as of now, I gotta sat The Fratellis are doing a bit better. Not one song of theirs I don't like... 'cept maybe Henrietta... And now that The Verve is back, they are gonna be the pwnzors! Cuz The Verve, they are music.
