Lyrics
Didn't think I'd have to choose Didn't think I'd wear brown shoes Didn't think that I'd ever have to read about this in the news You're gonna have a go? Well I don't want to know I just thought that I should try and say hello to those who'd Never exist without being generic You're out to impress our bovine public You'd never exist if you wasn't generic You're out to impress our bovine public I'll never forget how all this begun And I will never regret a thing I have done But you would never exist without us So maybe I do... Not have the time Fair-weather friends of mine A year's a long time When you're doing nothing with your life I heard you felt alert? Well I'm hoping that it hurt Cos we spent too much time doing groundwork To be ground in to the dirt by those who'd Never exist without being generic You're out to impress our bovine public You'd never exist if you wasn't generic You're out to impress our bovine public I'll never forget how all this begun And I will never regret a thing I have done But you would never exist without us So maybe I do... You say nothing So you'll always mean nothing to me And if what you say means nothing Then what you say will always mean nothing to me Didn't think I'd have the time Fair-weather friends of mine A year's a long time when you're doing nothing with your life I heard you felt alert? Well I'm hoping that it hurt Cos we spent too much time doing groundwork To be ground into the dirt by those who'd Never exist without being generic You're out to impress our bovine public You'd never exist if you wasn't generic You're out to impress our bovine public I'll never forget how all this begun And I will regret not one thing I've done But you would never exist without us So maybe I do...

After 20 years of relentless forward motion, The Cribs finally stopped long enough to ask why they were still doing this. The answer? Brotherhood, independence and a refusal to compromise.
The album 'Selling A Vibe' will launch very soon.
UK headline tour in 2026 will feature support from Courting.
It's their their first new album in over five years.
The Cribs will perform their album 'The New Fellas' in full across three intimate UK venues to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

PABH are getting giddy about the most exciting gig of the summer.
