Café y tele

"Coffee and t.v." - Blur


Do you feel like a chain store?
Practically floored
One of many zeros
Kicked around bored
Your ears are full but your empty
Holding out your heart
To people who never really
Care how you are

So give me coffee and tv
History
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And I'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again

Do you go to the country
It isn't very far
Theres people there who will hurt you
Cos of who you are

Your ears are full of the language
Theres wisdom there you're sure
til' the words start slurring
And you can't find the door

So give me coffee and tv
History
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And I'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again

So give me coffee and tv
History
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And I'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again

Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again


Del álbum "13" (1999)

Esta no es una de mis bandas favoritas, sin embargo, tiene dos o tres canciones que me agradan y mucho.

Para bien o para mal, esta canción es más recordada (a pesar de haber ocupado el segundo lugar en las listas de popularida británicas el mismo año de su lanzamiento) y cuasi se ha convertido en algo memorable gracias al video tan original protagonizado por Milky, una criatura surgida del taller del legendario Jim Henson.

El video ganó numerosos premios entre 1999 y 2000 como el Mejor Video de los MTV Europe Awards y de los NME Awards. En 2005, a través de una votación, ocupó el lugar 17 dentro del listado de los mejores videos pop del Channel 4 de Inglaterra y al año siguiente, ocupó el lugar 32 en el Top 100 de los mejores videos musicales de la historia.
