«And you go on and on on on, talking shite through the night»

The Rakes, como The Strokes, The Kooks y muchos otros antes que ellos (y después), son niños ricos. Si, aunque parece que no tienen ni para comer, pues resulta que vienen ellos de familias más o menos adineradas de Inglaterra, y es el mundo en que se mueven. Para muestra, un botón. El año pasado, la casa de modas Dior les pidió ayuda para musicalizar un evento donde presentarían su nueva línea de ropa para hombre. El resultado fue una canción de 18 minutos de largo. Después, el grupo se dispuso a grabar su segundo disco y esa canción la acortaron a 5 minutos y la usaron para abrir el disco. Y como segundo single. The World Was A Mess…..But His Hair Was Perfect.

The Rakes – The World Was A Mess But His Hair Was Perfect

All dressed up with somewhere to go
Got ten new messages on your phone
Keep trying to stop the night from falling to pieces
The night goes on and on and on on on
Where are we going and where’s Steve gone?
This whole night is just falling to pieces

And you go on and on on on
Talking shite through the night
Just trying to stop our arguments falling to pieces
You slag off America in the pub
Saying the war was shite
Then in the club
Drink some Buds and smoke some Marlboro Lights…

The world was a mess but his hair was perfect
The world was a mess but his hair was perfect
The world was a mess but his hair was perfect
The world was a mess but his hair was perfect
