Kings Of Leon: ''Come Around Sundown''s lyrics were ad-libbed in the studio'

Kings Of Leon's Caleb Followill has admitted that all the lyrics on the band's new album were ad-libbed.

Speaking in the November issue of Uncut magazine, on newsstands in the UK now, the frontman said that sessions for 'Come Around Sundown' saw him record the ad-libbed lyrics then try to change them later – only to be vetoed by his bandmates.

"I didn't write lyrics," he explained. "I went in and ad-libbed, I free-floated everything. The closer it got to the end, I felt like, 'Man, you didn't do your job.'"

He added: "I kept thinking, 'When I go back and redo the lyrics, then I'll get it. But when I went back in to try to do that, everyone was like, 'What are you doing? You can't change those lyrics. Those are the lyrics.'"

Followill added that he lacked confidence in the record until he played it to his girlfriend, model Lily Aldridge.

"I played her one song, and when I did, she looked at me and went, 'What the fuck? Why haven't you played me this? What are you scared of?'" he said. "Before you know it, we had listened to every song, and she just loved it. That gave me the confidence to say, 'All right, well, maybe I'm in my head too much'."

Kings Of Leon - Radioactive Lyrics

The road is carved up yonder
I hope you see me there
Its in the water, Its where you came from
Its in the water, Its where you came from

And the crowd begins to wander
And they cry to see your face

Its in the water, Its in the story of where you came from
Your sons and daughters in all their glory its gonna save her
And when they crash and come together, and start rising
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from

So the road it was carved from yonder
Never sold yourself away

Its in the water, Its in the story of where you came from
Your sons and daughters in all their glory its gonna save her
And when they crash and come together, and start rising
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from

And when they dance and come together and start rising
Just drink the water where you came from where you came from
