Cassius (Promo Version) Lyrics

Cassius is over!
Cassius away!
Cassius these daydreams, these daydreams okay!

Cassius an accident!
Cassius an accident!
Accident!
Accident!
Accident!

Cassius its over!
Cassius away!
Cassius these daydreams, these daydreams okay!

Lighthouse(?) is an accident!
The lighthouse (?) is an accident!
Accident!
Accident!
Accident!

Wish you´ve gone-a, wish you´ve gone away, what you´ve gone-a
What you´ve got has always gone away
Cassius! Cassius! at best, it´s all that we could do,
All that we could do

The wind is in, the wind is in my heart, the wind is in-
Now what you´ve got has always gone away
Cassius! Cassius! at best, it´s all that we could do,
All that we could do

(Break)

Cassius, it´s over! You´re second best!
Cassius, it´s over! You´re second best!
It´s over! You´re second best!
Second best!
Second best!
Second best!

Cassius its over!
Cassius away!
Cassius these daydreams, these daydreams okay!

Lighthouse(?) is an accident!
The lighthouse (?) is an accident!
Accident!
Accident!
Accident!

Wish you´ve gone-a, wish you´ve gone away, what you´ve gone-a
What you´ve got has always gone away
Cassius! Cassius! at best, it´s all that we could do,
All that we could do

The wind is in, the wind is in my heart, the wind is in-
Now what you´ve got has always gone away
Cassius! Cassius! at best, it´s all that we could do,
S´all that we could do

(Break then build up)

Cassius, is over! You´re second best!
Cassius, it´s over! You´re second best!
It´s over! You´re second best!
Second best!
Second best!
Second best!
(Build up)

Wish you´ve gone-a, wish you´ve gone away, what you´ve gone-a
What you´ve got has always gone away
Cassius! Cassius! at best, it´s all that we could do,
All that we could do


The wind is in, the wind is in my heart, the wind is in-
Now what you´ve got has always gone away
Cassius! Cassius! at best, it´s all that we could do,
S´all that we could do

Cover art for Cassius (Promo Version) lyrics by Foals

I thought this was worth putting here, it's taken from wikipedia.org

"In a video interview with NME, lead singer Yannis Philippakis stated that the track was "the most straightforward song on the album. It's trying to deal with somebody being two-faced or, even to the extreme, someone having a split personality. The reason for why it's called Cassius - Cassius Clay who became Mohammad Ali, it's almost like there's two people in one and Cassius, the conspirator who instigated the assassination of Julius Caesar, who is a very literal symbol of being two faced".[2]"

once you take that into consideration the song is really pretty simple to decode. it's still well written though. very catchy phrasing and bright. the guitar melodies really compliment the singing. cheers.

oh, he also definitely isn't saying gay. he does have quite a peculiar english accent though, so i can understand why someone might mistake it. its pretty cool though!

I agree, for some reason it does sound like "Cassius these daydreams, these daydreams are gay"

It always makes me giggle though, I guess I am just being imature.

Does anyone actually have the album with the artwork? Maybe there'd be the lyrics in there, because after hearing so many people say that it's "these daydreams are gay" I'm beginning to hear that every time I listen to it.
