«There’s no one else to blame, except yourself»

Y así como si nada, llega otro clásico de Travis.  Selfish Jean es de esas canciones que siempre estamos esperando que Fran Healy escriba, memorables, tristes pero con esperanza, melodías alegres e interpretación impecable. Lástima de la falta de promoción por parte del sello discográfico, y la muy mala planeación para la fecha de salida, que le impidió llegar todavía mas lejos en las listas británicas.  But such an amazing song.

Travis – Selfish Jean

Cheers
Thanks for everything
You hung me out by my heart
You’re just so selfish jean
Yes you are

Hey you
Threw it all away
By holding everything in
Hey Jean don’t rock the boat
When you can’t swim

With a perfect understanding of the finer things in life
A quite alarming knack of knowing when to twist the knife
Oooooooooh
Selfish Jean

Here’s to you
Who read everything
Left it out on the shelf
There’s no one else to blame
Except yourself

Well a perfect combination of good etiquet and charm
You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm
Oooooooooh
Selfish Jean

Well I’m standing on my own
And this house is not a home
It’s so sad to see you go
Things are high, things are low
And it’s good to know you know
If you’ve got nowhere to go
Well you could spend the night with me
There will be no guarantee that I’ll be here

In the morning
Or any time that you call
I hear you snoring Jean
Through the wall

So hey
Here’s to everything
To peace and love in our time
Ah Jean the slate is clean
I guess we’re fine

Well I don’t expect a miracle
Not asking you to change
If you can’t see me happy
Well just look the other way
Oooooooooh
Selfish Jean

Selfish Jean
Jean
Oh yeah
Jean
