Lyrics
Brylcreem Creatine And a bag of Charlie Sheen Brylcreem Creatine And a bag of Cocaine A dulcet man with a dulcet tone From a dulcet town and a dulcet home He hates me I like that Two arms like big baseball bats I bark He bites back A jaw like a fuck off bear trap He said "these boots are made for stomping And that's just what they'll do One of these days these boots are gonna Stomp all over you" I said I got a penchant for smokes and kicking douches in the mouth Sadly for you my last cigarette's gone out Concrete to leather Concrete to leather Concrete to leather Concrete Concrete to leather Concrete to leather Concrete to leather Concrete A heathen from Eton On a bag of Michael Keaton A heathen from Eton On a bag of Michael Keaton He thinks he's suave You're not suave 'cause you watched Get Carter You are a catalogue, plastic Sinatra A tryhard, you should've tried harder Me, oh me, oh my, Roy You look like a walking thyroid You're not a man, you're a gland You're one big neck with sausage hands You are a Topshop tyrant Even your haircut's violent You look like you're from Love Island You stood then the room went Never fight a man with a perm Concrete to leather Concrete to leather Concrete to leather Concrete Concrete to leather Concrete to leather Concrete to leather Concrete Let's hug it out I shut my mouth Let's hug it out I shut my mouth I shut my mouth Let's hug it out I shut my mouth This song This song is dedicated to my best friend And my father who taught me what love and respect is This song is for Nigel And it's called Mother

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.
