“The Kooks” are now adored not only for their refined British accent, sophisticated melodies, beautiful faces and sensitive little mouths, but for their deeply philosophical lyrics as well.
Watch this black-and-white official video and listen to the lyrics attentively: no guarantee everything will become clear from the first time, although the words seem so easy.

And ooh la, the world just chewed her up and spat her out.
