Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
Would never have happened to Smeaton
An old Leodensian
La-ah-ah, lalala la la la
Ah-ah-ah, lalala la la la
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I tried to get to my taxi
A man in a tracksuit attacked me
He said that he saw it before me
Wants to get things a bit gory
Girls scrabble around with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn't for chip fat, they'd be frozen
They're not very sensible
La-ah-ah, lalala la la la
Ah-ah-ah, lalala la la la
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there
Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible
La-ah-ah, lalala la la la
Ah-ah-ah, lalala la la la
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
with lyrics like 'A friend of a friend he got beaten He looked the wrong way at a policeman Would never have happened to Smeaton' and
'I tried to get in my taxi A man in a tracksuit attacked me' and obviously 'Girls run around with no clothes on To borrow a pound for a condom' you've gotta love it. Cant wait to see them

vocal NME'S EXPLANATION OF I PREDICT A RIOT "Then there's 'I Predict A Riot', a tale of walking/running through Leeds after pub closing time and avoiding getting your indie arse kicked on the way home, another example of the Kaisers' 'smiling-through-their-teeth' approach. It's a sentiment with which anyone who's been chased down the street by slavering townies just for sporting a dime-sized tear in their jeans, can relate."
Its about their club in leeds and the normal atmosphere. apparently the bouncers banned motorhead's songs (notably Ace of Spades) being played because of the incresing numbers of riots. Also, the amount of people i Know, even those who have crap taste in music ie MCFLY (who are brainwashing even NME readers into listening to them; my friends and I are starting an Exorcism programme) keep singing uberpop Chiefs songs, and even the (cooler) teachers are now using 'thee' in normal conversation!!! Whoohoo!!!!
