Alright - Supergrass
We are young,
we run green,
Keep our teeth nice and clean.
See our friends, see the sights,
feel alright.
We wake up, we go out,
smoke a fag, put it out.
See our friends, see the sights
feel alright.
Are we like you?
I can't be sure
of the scene as she turns.
We are strange in our worlds.
But we are young, we get by,
can't go mad, ain't got time.
Sleep around if we like,
but we're alright.
Got some cash,
bought some wheels,
took it out
'cross the fields.
Lost control, hit a wall
but we're alright.
Are we like you?
I can't be sure
of the scene as she turns.
We are strange in our worlds.
But we are young,
we run green,
Keep our teeth nice and clean.
See our friends, see the sights,
feel alright.
Are we like you?

We are strange in our worlds.
But we are young,
we run green,
Keep our teeth nice and clean.
See our friends, see the sights,
feel alright.
- Notas: Esta
canción llegó a convertirse en un "himno a la juventud" que describía
la sensación de vivir de una juventud que iba descubriendo el mundo y
encontrando su lugar en él. Si bien el grupo la compuso cuando tenían 19 años,
trata sobre lo que es ser un niño de 13 o 14 años y descubrir el sexo y el
alcohol. El título "alright",
que se repite varias veces en la canción para indicar como se siente el
cantante es una expresión que se usa para indicar que las cosas les van bien,
pero no como para tirar cohetes.
El
"run green" al que se
refiere la canción no es el tontear con los porros (como algunos creen) sino el
ser gente "sin experiencia" ("green") en la mayor parte de las "cosas de adultos".
- 1. “…fag…” = Es una forma británica y coloquial de referirse a los cigarrillos.
- 2. “…get by…” = El
phrasal verb "to get by" se usa para indicar el apañárselas
(normalmente con escasos recursos) o arreglárselas para salir delante de una
situación difícil.
- 3. “…sleep around…” = Otro
phrasal más, "to sleep around" se usa para indicar que alguien tiene
una vida sexual muy promiscua, acostándose con quien quiere sin ningún tipo de
ataduras.
