Never took a punch in the ribcage sonny?
Never met a soul who had no shrine
Keep this all in your mind and get inside my window
What do we become trying to kill each other?
You're faking it son gonna get you tonight
I suck another breath to the hearts of the Revolution
'Cos it still ain't right

Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know (I bet you can't see it)
Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know, (I bet you can't see it)

Can't see the signs of a real change a comming
Take another sip from this hobo's wine
Get yourself a million miles from this concrete jungle
This is a time full of fear full of anger
A hero's exchange for a telephone line
Whatever happened to the youth of this generation?
'Cos it still ain't right

Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know (I bet you can't see it)
Where did all the love go?
Now I don't know why, oh why

The rivers on the pavement are flowing now with blood
The children of the future are drowning in the flood

Where did all the love go?
Now I don't know why, I don't know why

In this social chaos there's violence in the air
Gotta keep your wits about you be careful not to stare
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know (I bet you can't see it)
Where did all the love go?
Now I don't know why, oh why (I bet you can't see it)

I like it, although the disco beat gets into my head more than I would like. I gave it an 8 prior, so there is some discordance there.

I know I'm going to get criticized for this, but in my opinion, this is a good song severely compromised by the loud clicking sound in the chorus. It should be sitting in the back of the mix. Someone in the control room should have spoken up to set the producer straight.


I think those are handclaps.  Maybe somebody in the studio had on their baggy pants and was dancing and clapping ... ?

The love went to expensive cars, the promise of a corner office, and a home in an exclusive neighborhood. Life reduced to chasing something that will disappoint you in the end.

Posted 13 years ago by fredriley    [ Reply ]
Creeping up the scale for me.  Initially I didn't care for it, but something about it makes it hard to hate.  Maybe it's the infectious beat, the harmony, or the slightly unusual chorus.  It feels constructed, but not overly so to the point where it sounds formulaic.  There's a measure of "this sound would be cool here" yet an element of undisciplined chaos that keeps the song from being too predictable.

Guh...  I don't want to like it, but I can't help myself.

And I'll probably still feel the same about this song when I'm sober. {#Roflol}

love this band. if you are unfamiliar with them please look into them. their debut self titled album is fantastic, very electronic mixed with rock and their latest "West Ryder..." has been their biggest success and includes many amazing songs.

Parts of their sound, especially the vocals, reminds me of some of Eno's work.  Anyone hearing that?

Anybody hear T Rex in this ?
 

DEFINITELY!

T-REX and other 60's bands as well!

I saw them live in Cologne (so-so!).
The band-DJ - before the concert - played
nothing but...
old Who, Small Faces, T-Rex (!!), early Floyd
(the good Floyd, in other words)
Move and simelar stuff!

I must admit - hearing those old songs,
super-loud and in top-clear sound
was a revalation!

It was actually better than the concert!

They brought an extra guitar-player,
because "their man" was unable to do it alone!
Bizarre!

I was one of those who has "promoted" their CD
in this blog, but...
NO, sorry, the band promised more than they can deliver!

Frankly, meanwhile I wonder why they are still on rotation here,
while guys like Mellencamp, Graham Parker and even
Sting are "seldom seen kids"!

Not fair - seen from a musical standpoint!
KASABIAN is an "unfinished" band!
With a handful of rather good 60's-songs,
a good singer,
but not much else!
