Balloons

For a band, such as Foals, that focus more on producing complex layers of rhythm and tones, the lyrics are a minimized way of adding to the complexity; the vocals seem to never distract from the music but add a specific layer to the sound . I don't really think it was a lack of creativity, but a stylistic thing.

I've never liked 'modern' music up until now, if this is how music is going to be in the next few years. ..I'm in!

There's this thing called.... There's this thing called... We fly balloons on this fuel called... We fly balloons on this fuel called love What's this ch-ch-check? (this is the only line I'm not sure about) What's the fuel called? The weather storms are in your head The weather storms are in your head

We fly balloons on this fuel called love We fly balloons on this fuel called love We fly balloons on this fuel called... We fly balloons on this fuel called love

There's a thing called.... x8

We fly balloons on this fuel called love We fly balloons on this fuel called love We fly balloons on this fuel called... We fly balloons on this fuel called love

We fly balloons on this fuel called love We fly balloons on this fuel called love We fly balloons on this fuel called... We fly balloons on this fuel called love

´What's this ch-ch-check? (this is the only line I'm not sure about)´

such an amusing debate over this line at the foals forum

my favourite one is ´what´s that jackie chan!?´

This songs great, a brilliant single

i... i was fully hearing "we fry balloons on a steel collar." and then "why's it feel cold?" instead of "what's the fuel called?"

your interpretation makes a lot more sense

hahaha i thought it was something to do with 'steel' too

In the album's booklet it says: "What's a chkacha!" What he actually says: "What's the temperature!" They wrote it that way on the booklet because that's just what it sounded like and what everyone shouted so it just stuck.

omg, yeah, 'what's the temperature' fits! although 'chkacha' fits even more xD

think the "What's this chkacha?" is actually "why dont you take a chair"
