The Spitting Pips – Sidelines

Selalu senang bertemu lagi dengan kuartet asal Inggris semacam The Spitting Pips yang tidak neko-neko saat menggeber instrumen mereka di studio. Lewat single teranyar bertajuk “Sidelines”, gerombolan yang pernah sepanggung bareng dedengkot macam Buzzcocks ini membawakan kembali nomor pop rock yang renyah dan berisik. Ketukan drumnya padat, distorsi gitarnya mantap, dan melodinya langsung menempel tanpa perlu waktu lama untuk mematut-matut diri.

Bicara lirik, mereka rupanya tidak malu-malu mengangkat nasib apes seseorang yang sukarela menjadi pemain cadangan dalam urusan asmara. Ketimbang pura-pura gengsi, vokalisnya justru mantap memilih posisi serba nanggung itu.

“No I don’t mind waiting on the sidelines

If it means that I can waste away with you”

Ada kepasrahan bucin yang bikin keki sekaligus geli saat didengar. Lagunya dibawakan dengan kepala tegak layaknya kawan tongkrongan yang nekat kalah taruhan.

Gubahan berenergi tinggi ini terasa sangat pas menemani rute macet pulang kerja sore hari, terutama saat helm ojol mulai terasa berat di kepala. The Spitting Pips kali ini menyuguhkan trek kencang bagi siapa saja yang masih betah menunggu giliran di pinggir lapangan.

Lirik Lagu The Spitting Pips – Sidelines

I dont mind
Going back to mine
I'll wrap you up and we'll share some time and

I dont mind
Take you out of town
Show you things that light up your eyes and

I just want your touch
No its never enough
In your palm is where I want to play and
I just want your touch
No its never enough
Im just trying to find the words to say

And I want you to know
I'll never let you go
And I want you to know
I'll wait forever
Forever and a day

No I dont mind
Waiting on the sidelines
If it means that I
Can waste away with you
I'll waste away with

I don't mind
staying up all night
Under covers where I want to stay and
I just want your love
No its never enough
In your heart is where I want to stay

And I want you to know
I'll never let you go
And I want you to know
I'll wait forever
Forever and a day

No I dont mind
Waiting on the sidelines
If it means that I
Can waste away with you
I'll wait away with you
No I dont mind
Living on a lifeline
If it means that I
Can waste away with you
I'll waste away with you

And I'll wait forever
Forever and a day

No I dont mind
Living on a lifeline
If it means that I
Can waste away with you

No I dont mind
Living on the sidelines
If it means that I
Can waste away with you
No I dont mind
Living on the sidelines
If it means that I
Can waste away with you

I'll waste away with you
I'll waste away with you
I'll waste away with you
I'll waste away with you
