Ricky name drops "Smeaton," in the first verse of the song, who he describes as "an old Leodensian". On a hot summer day in 2011 the temperature rose in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham and Salford and rioting occurred. In the Guardian newspaper, February 24 2006, Kaiser Chiefs drummer Nick Hodgson said: "I used to DJ with my friend Nick at the Cockpit in Leeds. Also, the guitar riff after "who doesn't want to be out there" is overdubbed with Hammond organ, played by Peanut. He wrote the screenplays for the feature films DIVORCING JACK and WILD ABOUT HARRY and the popular TV series MURPHY'S LAW starring James Nesbitt.

For our foreign readers, the archaic form "thee" is still used instead of "you" in the north of England, especially in Yorkshire, where Leeds is. But, while the city boasted a thriving alternative music scene with the opportunity to discover new bands and listen to the latest indie tunes the likes of The Faversham, Mint, and The HiFi Club, it was also a student town; a hub of super-clubs and cheap nights out. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics. Majestyk, which the frontman also references in his NME interview, was one such venue that would have witnessed many of the scenes described in the track.While in part it can be seen as a word for someone who hails from Leeds, it's more of a mock-classical term reserved for local sports clubs. last night i met whitey from Kaiser Chiefs outside the Carling accadeny in glasgow and i was chatting 2 him. I asked why the riots emerged and no one really knows beyond statements of civil unrest and a desire to revolt against ‘something’.
