Bombastic and bold, Kasabian’s 2011 release ‘Velociraptor!’ is full of rock and roll fun.
Song number six, “Acid Turkish Bath (Shelter from the Storm)‘ is reminiscent of Pink Floyd with its almost lazy lyrics and acoustic-yet-techno sounding chords.
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Cotton mouth is bleeding, one way glass deceiving
Dope me up on women and credit cards
Promise X-Ray vision and fancy cars
The tables set for the bourgeoisie
Better get in line with your dinner tray
Cause when it's all ran out and it's just you left
With the nut job swigging his crystal meth
And there's a constant ring of machinery
Is there a place for me in history?
[Chorus]
Sending the boys away
Leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away
Now it's another day
To shelter from the storm
Sending the boys away
Leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away
Wishing for new year's day
To shelter from the storm
[Verse 2]
Sons of time are rising, 16 minds exploding
It's the 21st century ain't it cool?
It's taught us how to eat and how to drool
And the wind up merchants are out in force
Telling you my brother to change your course
And you won't be the first to think it's wrong
When all you really want is to bang a gong
Cause it's all sewn up in our misery
Is there a place for me in the history?
[Chorus]
Sending the boys away
Leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away
Now it's another day
To shelter from the storm
Sending the boys away
Leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away
Wishing for new year's day
To shelter from the storm
(Cotton mouth is bleeding)
We gotta break down the walls and shelter from the storm
We gotta break down the walls and shelter from the storm
We gotta break down the walls and shelter from the storm
We gotta break down the walls and shelter from the storm
[Chorus]
Sending the boys away
Leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away
Now it's another day
To shelter from the storm
Sending the boys away
Leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away
Wishing for new year's day
To shelter from the storm
