The Cribs

Lyrics An ivory hand The Cribs

 1.053

An ivory hand


We were cut and smelled of petals
These scented promises had me
Thinking that I was special
For the new lease of life I had got
Oh no, woah oh
For a minute thought my heart had stopped
Oh no, woah oh
And the lessons that I had were lost

Know you gotta think about it
Let me hear the things I’m out to hear

Return to the scene of your glories
But not for the fame
To be stuck in the back sorting laundry
Of the same folks you can’t stand
Oh no, woah oh
What a waste for an ivory hand
Oh no, woah oh
Exquisitely shocked as I am

Know you gotta think about it
Let me hear the things I’m out to hear
See me like you do in memories
Of a time you barely knew me girl

Always walking through webs
See nostalgia as a threat
Do you still want it now we got it?

Know you gotta think about it
Let me hear the things I’m out to hear
See me like you do in memories
Of a time you barely knew me girl

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics AN IVORY HAND of THE CRIBS is also present in the album For all my sisters (2015)

Biografia

The Cribs are an English indie rock band from Wakefield, West Yorkshire. The group consists of twins Gary and Ryan Jarman and their younger brother Ross Jarman. In 2008, Johnny Marr, former guitarist of The Smiths and Modest Mouse, joined the band and became a formal member. Active on the concert circuit since 2002, they were initially associated by the British music press with other UK bands of the time, particularly The Libertines, as a response to the popularity of American indie rock bands. In 2008, Q magazine described them as "The biggest cult band in the UK". Some representative tracks include "Hey Scenesters", "Men's Needs", "The Golden Age" and "Mirror Kiss".
