«How much longer till this time has passed?«

Los doble A-Sides no han sido nunca mucho de mi agrado. Sobre todo porque luego ni las mismas bandas se toman en serio eso. Recuerdo el de Oasis de Little By Little/She Is Love, en que ésta última solo fue desperdicio en el single porque ni promoción ni video le hicieron y bien pudo haber ido ahí otro b-side. O aquel que entró en mi lista del 2005, I Predict A Riot/Sink That Ship de los Kaiser, donde esta última me parecía genial y ¿que pasó? Ya no la tocan, nadie la conoce, se fue al olvido. Por eso me agrada que para este doble A-Side que sacaron los Cribs, aunque claramente Don’t You Wanna Be Relevant? fue un poco más promocionada, sobre todo porque era nueva, igual a Our Bovine Public le hicieron video y la promocionaron más y todo. Que bueno porque es mi favorita de su disco y pues también esta nueva canción está igual de buena. Aquí les dejo los dos videos y las dos letras.

The Cribs – Don’t You Wanna Be Relevant?

It’s a lie, it’s fake, but it’s the dream, living outside of your means
And all you want is that you’ll never be
Tommorow always comes too fast, the first to leave still came in last
And how much longer till this time has passed? Oh no…

Cos you can’t go taking it back – there’s no time and no place for that
But don’t you wanna be relevant? Oh no
It’s a double-sided attack but that’s all I had, don’t make me laugh cos it’s not

Fought so real, hard to beat, men that I see in the street
People I don’t ever wanna be
The lovers, they’re the lonely ones, they’re lost and blinded by their day in the sun
How much longer til our war is won? Oh no.. wooo!

Cos you can’t go taking it back – there’s no time and no place for that
But don’t you wanna be relevant? Oh no
Cos it’s a double-sided attack but that’s all I had, don’t make me laugh cos it’s not
Your onstage antics out in Leeds were tailor-made to suit men’s needs

 

The Cribs – Our Bovine Public

D’you think I’d have to choose?
D’you think I’d wear brown shoes?
D’you think that I’d ever have to read about this in the news?
You’re gonna have a go?
Well I don’t want to know
I just thought that I should try and say hello

To those who’d never exist
without being generic
You’ll have to impress
Our bovine public
You’d never exist
if you wasn’t generic
You’ll have to impress
Our bovine public

I’ll never forget how all this begun
And I will never regret a thing I have done
But you would never exist without us.

So maybe I do not have the time
Fair-weather friends of mine
A year’s a long time to be doing nothing with your life
I heard you felt alert
Well I’m hoping that it hurt
You seem to spend too much time in groundwork to be ground into the dirt

By those who’d never exist
without being generic
You’ll have to impress
Our bovine public
You’d never exist
if you wasn’t generic
You’ll have to impress
Our bovine public

I’ll never forget how all this begun
And I will never regret a thing I have done
But you would never exist without us.

You say nothing
So you will always mean nothing to me
And if what you say means nothing
Then what you say will always mean nothing to me

D’you think I’d have the time
Fair-weather friends of mine
A year’s a long time to be doing nothing with your life
I heard you felt alert
Well I’m hoping that it hurt
You seem to spend too much time in groundwork to be ground into the dirt

By those who’d never exist
without being generic
You’ll have to impress
Our bovine public
You’d never exist
if you wasn’t generic
You’ll have to impress
Our bovine public

I’ll never forget how all this begun
And I would never regret the one thing I’ve done
But you would never exist without us
So maybe I do
