Trams

I will design a town in the image of your face.
Round the wrinkles of your eyes my footsteps you can trace.
We could promenade down infra-nasel depression.
The streets of your hands will never feel a recession.

It's a secular day and it will be even better tomorrow.
It's the first day of the intergrated transport hub,
Let us celebrate this monumental progress.
We have reduced emmisions by 75%

They say the future of cement is set in stone.
We could proclaim a republic and throw away the throne.
We will likely ????? spaceships. (beep)
By the speed of light the ??? will get ??? (beep)
(Trams)It's a secular day and it will be even better tomorrow.
(Trams)It's the first day of the intergrated transport hub,
(Trams)Let us celebrate this monumental progress.

Song description from an interview on dosomething.org:

These alternative rockers prefer eco-friendly transport to gas guzzling limos. The Super Furry Animals’ new hit single is called “Inaugural Trams” and paints a picture of an emission free future. Gotta love these Welsh rockers who play with a purpose!

They sing about an undisclosed Utopian European city of the future where a new transportation system has just been unveiled. They have reduced emissions by 75% with their “integrated transport hub.” Oh, and did we mention that the song features Nick McCarthyFranz Ferdinand who performs an impromptu German rap? 


 
Excellent research! Europeans are far ahead of North Americas when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Kudos to the SFAs for their eco-friendly attitude! {#Daisy}

I don't particularly think it's bad, I rated it a 6. But it is an odd one. Not bad noise if you don't put too much into the lyrics.

Is this seriously a song about the ecological benefits of mass transit?

"It's a secular day (trams) and it will be even better tomorrow (trams),
It's the first day (trams) of the integrated transport hub (trams).
Let us celebrate (trams) this monumental progress (trams),
We have reduced (trams) emissions by seventy-five per cent (trams)."

Reminds me a bit of extremely upbeat Blue October. Not bad for an off-the-wall summertime tune. Gets a 6 for starts.

Somebody has been smoking pot and listening to their old Kraftwerk albums.

Trans Europe Express for the 00's!

Pretty hard to take, although my foot does tap.
