Lyrics
A lot of nine fingered boys in the village They haven't got much choice in the village Model car, model wife, model village Model far, model right, model village They ain't too friendly in the village There's a tabloid frenzy in the village "He's not a racist, but", in the village Gotta drive half-cut in the village Model low crime rate in the village Model race, model hate, model village Got my head kicked in in the village There's a lot of pink skin in the village "Hardest man in the world", in the village He said he got with every girl in the village Take flight, take flight Model village I beg your pardon I don't care about your rose garden I'm listenin' to the things you said You just sound like you're scared to death I'm a fucking dragon Still not in love with the village Homophobes by the tonne in the village A lot of overpriced drugs in the village A lot of half pint thugs in the village Model car, model wife, model village Model far, model right, model village I see a lot of gammon in the village I don't see a lot happen in the village Just give them an anthem and they'll sing it Still they don't know the meanings in it Just saluting flags 'cause it's British Idiot spirits think they're kindred Model low crime rate in the village Model race, model hate, model village It feels like the village is self-pillaged Still someone's making a killing Take flight, take flight Take flight Model village I beg your pardon I don't care about your rose garden I'm listenin' to the things you said You just sound like you're scared to death I beg your pardon I don't care about your rose garden I'm listenin' to the things you said You just sound like you're scared to death You gotta laugh as the curtain twitches And the villagers bury their riches But the village doesn't know what rich is Just snitches snitching on snitches Only one thing to do in the village Just say toodle-do to the village Toodle-fucking-do

IDLES release a new version of 'POP POP POP' featuring Danny Brown after their Glastonbury collaboration.
While yeah, they do lay it on thick, they also lay it on well.
It marks IDLES' second appearance on CBeebies in recent months.
They're mashing it up with Peaches' 'Fuck The Pain Away' and The Chemical Brothers' 'Elektrobank'.
New album 'TANGK' came out earlier this year.
With ‘TANGK’, IDLES are redefining the punk ethos for a new era
New album 'TANGK' is set to drop this Friday (16th February)
The single is from their new album 'TANGK'.
The dates are in support of their new album 'TANGK'.
They've also shared new single 'Dancer',
It comes after the band received two GRAMMY nominations for their fourth album, 'Crawler'.
The band shared a new ‘making of’ video giving fans an inside glimpse into the recording sessions with producer Kenny Beats.
The 5th-anniversary rerelease will arrive on December 9th via Partisan Records.
The ‘Dance Fever’ LP was originally released in May via Polydor Records.
“‘Come On Down’ was originally recorded during the Atlas Vending sessions but never fully finished,” METZ’s Alex Edkins explains.
The band are about to play Boardmasters and APE.
The tickets will be available via a prize draw that costs £10 to enter.
Their last album saw them take off in a way no one expected - so what’s next for IDLES? The band have a sit down just before the release of their (now) No.1 album, 'Ultra Mono'.
Idles understand that sometimes it feels as though everything’s in the shitter, but they’re going to try their best to make a difference anyway - and you can too.
