My corner, you'll find me every day
The boys come out
That's where we like to play
"Wanna tag along?" I said "No way."
One drop dead high
A price you're gonna pay

Been around the world been around the world
I stormed the gates in laden pearl
All around the world all around the world
I lost myself and found a girl

Keep dancing, like it's ya last time
With softened eyes, swimming in delight
When the curtain falls, I'm on your scene
What sweet surprise sashay to me

Been around the world been around the world
I stormed the gates in laden pearl
All around the world all around the world
I lost myself and found a girl
Take it all the way, take it all the way
All the way
All around the world all around the world
I lost myself and found a girl

OK, so I'm not off base then, it's that jangly guitar lick.

I read somewhere someone posting that they thought the Kings of Leon were old hat. I disagree!

Congratulations, your indoctrination is now completed.

Probably the best Kings of Leon song I can think of... more upbeat than most of their stuff. Check out the VIDEO for this, too! 



The video makes me want to dance! So diverse!
I wonder, idly, whether this band has played in the Spanish city of León, and how it was received by the crowd. Or in Lyons in France...

At least on this number the singer doesn't sound like he's straining to get a big job out, as he so often is on numbers from previous albums. Tolerable, but disnae linger long in the memory.

Oh man, I love that song

Same here. The pickle helps.
This whole album is great.
I can't believe it - a Kings of Leon song I can tolerate and almost like.  I know I'm the exception, but I usually can't switch away fast enough.
There are great bands out there that simply have a singer whose voice is unlistenable to me.  Unfortunately, Kings of Leon are one of those bands.

I KONKUR.
lo and behold. i didn't cheat. really. easy targets but for a bunch of clowns who didn't want to paint houses any more, i think they've done ok. 
Something about his voice in this reminds me of Peter Gabriel - that "squeaky cracked voice" thing...
I really like the guitar riff, has a nice swing to it.

I keep thinking this "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" when it starts.
mid-late 80s feel but it's fun. Starting at 8.
Oh well... Off to the shop we go
Really enjoying this album. Not a single throwaway on it. 
This one sounds so "Strokes-sque" (try and read this, I dare you!) :)
Wow, a 'new' song from Kings of Leon.....Radio Paradise keeps introducing us to 'new' songs we've never heard before!
