Kings of Leon – Fans

With the Kings of Leon hit Sex on FireSex on Fire reviews ravaging charts around the globe, the band finally seems to be breaking through in North America like they have in the UK.  With this increase in popularity, I thought now would be a perfect time to post up one of my favorite Kings of Leon tunes.  FansFans reviews was the second single off the band’s third album Because of the TimesBecause of the Times reviews and serves as a tribute to their fan-base in the UK.  It was the band’s highest reaching single on the UK Singles Chart until the aforementioned Sex On Fire.

Homegrown
Rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain’t got to sing but you’ve got the face to play the roll
You can play with me

And all the bros
Try for the girls
And try to fit you out those tight clothes
She got a hat and all that hat says is asshole
She be botherin me

And your hairdo
And all the lipstick kisses
And all you asked is for the right moves
Let me feel like I’m the one who moves you
The only one you see

Now take me down
Don’t you let those tears quench the thirsty ground
Don’t you be so scared that you can’t make a sound
Make a sound for me

All of London scene
Whose England’s queen who makes sweet love to tales I bring
And all the rainy days, they ain’t so bad when you’re the king
The king they want to see

Homegrown
(so) Rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain’t got to sing but you have the face to play the roll
You can play with me

And your hairdo
And all the lipstick kisses
And all you asked for is ragoo
Let me feel like I’m the one who movein you
The only one you see

All of London scene
Whose England’s queen who makes sweet love to tales I bring
And all the rainy days, they ain’t so bad when you’re the king
The king they want to be
