Kaiser Chiefs are an English indie rock/ alternative rockband from Leeds, formed early in 2003. The band's explosion onto the global music scene in early 2005 was epitomised when they opened the Philadelphia Live 8 concert. Prior to 2003 the members of the band had been a garage rock group called Parva(before that they had been known as Runston Parva). However, after their label Mantra Records went bust in late 2002, the band went back to their roots and adopted a more britpop sound, helping the band reach their current popularity within the UK and beyond as a consequence. Several members of the band are ardent fans of the English football team Leeds United (as the band originates from Leeds.).

Boxing Champ Lyrics
Kaiser Chiefs
We Went To The Youth Club And We Looked Out Of Place.
I Didn't Know Where To Look
So I, Looked At Your Face.
But You Were A Boxing Champ, And I Was A Weakling.
You Didn't Give Me A Chance,
You Gave Me A Beating.
And I Thank You Very Much That You Did.
And As The Time Went By We Stayed Out Of Trouble,
Before I Could Realise My Age Had Doubled.
The Man I Became Is A Tragic Bore,
And He's Not A Boxing Champ Anymore.
If There's One Thing I've Learnt It's To Run Away,
At Least I Enjoy What I Do Today.
And I Thank You Very Much That I Do.
