The Kooks formed at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music, where they were all students. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist Luke Pritchard, got bassist Max Rafferty involved in a college project, which formed the base of the band. After getting lead guitarist Hugh Harris and drummer Paul Garred involved, they took their name from the song Kooks on the 1971 David Bowie album Hunky Dory. When they tried to trademark the name, they found that in the late/mid 1990s a Swedish band by the same name released an album in Sweden called Too Much is Not Enough.
The Kooks released a debut EP and played gigs around Brighton, where they were based at the time. They were signed to Virgin Records.
2. Swedish indie rock/alternative band - It consisted of members Henrik Berglund, Leo Dahlin, Michael Lohse and Josef Zackrisson, and was active between 1998 and the early 2000's. Micke Lohse and Henrik Berglund are currently members of the band Atomic Swing.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I wanna do is get to you,
Get to you, get to you,
So let me fuck the world off just for you,
Let me do that for you,
What me tow the line,
Back home, get back home, just for you,
People to meet, people like you,
And there will be waterfalls,
For you to break through,
If you so choose,
I know you think too much to lose,
So let me fuck the world off just for you,
Let me do that for you,
I know that I could make you so pleased,
Pleased to be, to be with me,
I feel like I'm on the end of the line,
End of the line just to get,
Someone one London streets to tell,
You my thoughts, just to you,
And there will be waterfalls,
For you to break through,
If you so choose,
I know you think too much to lose,
So let me fuck the world off just for you,
Let me do that for you
