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.).

Retirement Lyrics
Kaiser Chiefs
There Are Many Things That I Would Be Proud Of
If I'd Only Invented Them Such As The Wheel
The Washing Machine And The Tumble Dryer
On These Inventions Surely I Could Retire
I Want To Retire
No Longer Required
I Want To Get By Without The Man On My Back
A Tear In My Eye
With A Heart Full Of Pride
I Must Go Out On A High
And Tell Nobody Why
There Are Many Things That I Know I Could Do
If I'd Only Have Wanted To, Such As Create
The Perfect Soulmate Everyone Would Admire
On This Creation Surely I Could Retire
I Want To Retire
No Longer Required
I Want To Get By Without The Man On My Back
A Tear In My Eye
With A Heart Full Of Pride
I Must Go Out On A High
And Not To Answer To Why
I Want To Retire
Inform The Suppliers
I'll Leave The Party In Style
And Not To Be Carried Out
Without A Cloud In The Sky
I Got My Fingers In Pies
A Golden Watch On My Side
Will Measure My Free Time
Now My Place In History Is Surely Assured
I Will Be Remembered Here Forever More
Brand New Product In Place And A Potential Buyer
Up On This Next Transaction Surely I Could Retire
I Want To Retire
No Longer Required
I Want To Get By Without The Man On My Back
A Tear In My Eye
With A Heart Full Of Pride
I Must Go Out On A High
And Not To Answer To Why
I Want To Retire
Inform The Suppliers
I'll Leave The Party In Style
And Not To Be Carried Out
Without A Cloud In The Sky
I Got My Fingers In Pies
A Golden Watch On My Side
Will Measure My Free Time
