Song Review
After spending the weekend in the Kootenays, golfing in +15 weather, I was forced to return to the blizzardy goodness that is Calgary in April. Fortunately, once I regained a cell phone signal, I had a text waiting for me, telling me to check out The Cribs; the indie-rock/post-punk band did well to soften the blow. Mirror Kissers can be found on the band’s second album The New Fellas, released in 2005. The album was given the #11 position on New Musical Express‘ Album of the Year list in 2005. On an interesting side-note, like Modest Mouse The Cribs have enlisted The Smiths‘ ex-guitarist Johnny Marr to round out the lineup.
You aren’t allowed to say that you’re better
You aren’t allowed to say that cause you’re the hipster type
You’ve got a lot to say, but don’t mention
The mirror kissing ways of the hipster type
You aren’t allowed to say anything
We kicked around down water lane
But you’re not all there
You aren’t allowed to say anything
You left me on the street, talking to drains
Cause you’re not all there
You aren’t allowed to say that you’re better
You aren’t allowed to say that cause you’re the hipster type
You’ve got a lot to say, but don’t mention
The mirror kissing ways of the hipster type
You like to tell yourself that I’m nobody
I think you must have known I’d make you sorry
You like to tell yourself that I’m nobody
I think you must have known I’d make you sorry
