Too much information
Well I said you're good for nothing
Come on to the back
I said your needles count for something
Guess I'd better sell you now
Guess I'd be around
Singing for your questions
But you've stolen all of my answers
Too much entertainment drove
and thats not all the colour
Tell me that you've seen a ghost
I'll tell you what to fear the most
Stop!
I said it's happening again!
We're all wasting away!
We're all wasting away!
Too much information
Well I said you're good for nothing
Stitch your part of counterfeit
I said your far out here
Taking at the roads
Where you're taken for the simple codes
Swimming with the fishes
While the serpent waves his tongue
With a belly full of splinters
Now you see that I'm the one
Tell me that you've seen a ghost
I'll tell you what to fear the most
Stop!
I said it's happening again!
We're all wasting away!
We're all wasting away!
Well I said you're good for nothing
Come on to the back
I said your needles count for something
Guess I'd better sell you now
Guess I'd be around
But you've stolen all of my answers
Too much entertainment drove
and thats not all the colour
Tell me that you've seen a ghost
I'll tell you what to fear the most
I said it's happening again!
We're all wasting away!
We're all wasting away!
Well I said you're good for nothing
Stitch your part of counterfeit
I said your far out here
Taking at the roads
Where you're taken for the simple codes
While the serpent waves his tongue

Tell me that you've seen a ghost
I'll tell you what to fear the most
I said it's happening again!
We're all wasting away!
We're all wasting away!

I thought this was song meanings, its not a review sight, i think this song is based on the poem Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen The poem is about the 1st world war as Kasabians video for empire is a war. It is a great song!
Dulce at decorum est pro patria mori means 'It is sweet and appropriate to die for one's country'
latin is class!
latin is class!
If Youve seen the kasabian .making off. for thi svideo on mtv they say its about disobeying orders and standing up for what yoy belive in. in the video they show this as acting out liek bohemians in a war situation and by disobying thier orders to fight and die for thier country they are subsequenctly blow the fuck up.
what is wrong with this site? Every song has something wrong with the lyrics, they don't even make sense! If you want us to find the meanings, atleast put the correct lyrics for gods sake
Its an anti war song.
As pointed out the song is inspired by the Wilfred Owen poem Dulce et Decorum est and parallels the futility of dying for ones country in WW1 as accounted for by Owen, with the unquestioning desire of the western world for going into Afghanistan to give the Taliban a good whacking post 9/11 (“Stop, I said its happening again”)
this is a brilliant song, good video too
Too much information Well I said you can fall off it
should be, well i said you're good for nothing :)
it is a class act, the whole album is, Kasabian have proved their worth, which is something mega if you keep in mind they made galactic tunes such as club foot, LSF and reason for treason. The video is awesome, i think its the crimean war (but not sure), it brings out the 'gang' aspect of what a good band is all about. Proper inspiring.
i did that poem for an exam and i can understand the connection i however don't think it's about war itself more life and possibly a situation with a girl and using war as the theme in the video was more symbolic than literal fucking amazing song whatever
my spelling was way too bad in that sorry
i love this song....so glad it got 2 number 1,
