Suede es un inolvidable grupo britpop. Su canción, Lazy, describe la angustia de aquellos que no se sienten agusto viviendo una vida convencional, pero que sin embargo empiezan a notar el paso de los años.

Cuando eres joven es fácil rechazar la sociedad y querer vivir otra vida. Cuando empiezas a hacerte mayor, notas el peso de los años y piensas si has estado perdiendo el tiempo.

Todo esto, que he acabo de intentar describir con más o menos acierto, está reflejado al final del vídeo con un maravilloso juego visual con un pequeño espejo. Sólo por eso, merece la pena ver el vídeo. Pero es que la canción es una joya atesorada en el baúl del britpop.

Y para que no os perdáis el significado de la letra, y contrariamente a mis costumbres, os la pongo aquí mismito:


Here they come with their make-up on
as lovely as the clouds, come and see them,
Boys and girls and their mums and their words
and their romances and jobs and their sons,
Barking mad kids, lonely dads
who drug it up to give it some meaning,
From the raves to the council estates
they're reminding us there's things to be done.

But you and me, all we want to be is lazy,
you and me, so lazy...

Here they come gone 7am
getting satellite and Sky getting cable,
Bills and Bens and their mums and their friends
who just really, really want to be loved,
Uncle Teds and their legendary vests
helping out around the disabled,
From the flats and the maisonettes
they're reminding us there's things to be done.

But you and me, all we want to be is lazy,
you and me, so lazy...
It's you and me, it's you and me, you and me...
