The Maccabees – Pelican

Seguimos con el repaso del Bilbao BBK Live 2012. En esta ocasión les toca a los ingleses de Brighton, The Maccabees, que para decidir el nombre de su grupo, abrieron la Biblia y seleccionaron una palabra al azar. Como veis, todo originalidad. A esto se le suma un buen directo y canciones pegadizas, como este Pelican y su forma de repetir estrofas, primer single de su último trabajo (Given to the Wild, 2012).

Como dice la canción, algo está claro: todos nos hacemos mayores, así que toca subir el volumen de esta melodía y cantarla a grito pelado:

Letra:

So soon we, so soon we
So soon we’re too old to carry
And we knew it, and we knew it
And we knew we only had a little while
In the middle, in the middle
In the middle just keep ticking over
Before you know it, before you know it
Before you know it parent’s a parent

To have it all, to have it all
To have it all and still want more
One thing’s for sure, one thing’s for sure
One thing’s for sure we’re all getting older
So we take a lover, so we take a lover
So we take a lover waiting in the corner
And before you know it, before you know it,
Before you know it, pushing up the daisies

[estribillo]
And we go back to where we came from
Like those before and those to come
And know it’s the ever and the more
And again and again and again we go

In the end, In the end
In the end nothing comes easy
So you find a way, so you find a way
So you find a way to take a little with you
For the ones you love, for the ones you love
For the ones you love there’s if they need too
Pharaoh, pharaoh
Pharaoh they’re not coming with you.

[estribillo]

So soon we, so soon we
So soon we’re too old to carry
And we knew it, and we knew it
And we knew we only had a little while
In the middle, in the middle
In the middle just keep ticking over
Before you know it, before you know it
Before you know it parent’s a parent

[estribillo]
