Ride - Cool Your Boots Lyrics
Even a stopped clock gives the right time, twice a day
Across 50 states of mind, I didn't feel inclined
You waited yesterday, I didn't come your way
Now time is moving on, I know it won't be long
When I'm printed on your wall, my face won't change at all
The smile beneath my hair hangs lifeless in the air
Like a net in water I'm running through it all
And I'm shuffling away with nothing more to say
It's been preying on my mind and now I'm just resigned
You smile for yesterday, I think I'm in the way
You seem concerned and say I should slow down
But how can I see the stars if my feet are on the ground?

The last 3 minutes of this are indie guitar heaven with the best drumming ever
Fantastic work the "second" band records
Some songs cause time travel. Even if for just 6 minutes...
I was a bit busy earning a living and raising a family when Ride's star rode, but this song takes me right back to my teenage years emotionally
senda rola <3
When you record analog and push the master fader full red.
All twatster comments. Non of you were there in the 90's when they were in their prime. Poser central right here. Hilarious like always.
I may be a twatster growing up in the 21st century (wasn't alive in Ride's 'prime', I'm afraid), but what's important is that I see you have a rather nice set of megaphones there in your profile pic. Very nice.

Paul Megan nèw rules Mr funnybones
Fuck me. 1997, a gang of us expats are driving from Sydney to Canberra, 2 of us adored this album, so we became stereo nazis and put it on repeat. By journey's end we has converted 4 others. We were also drinking heavily :-)
I still love u zoe and I forgive you hope u r well this song reminds me of you I wont forget u ever
Just bliss!
You seem concerned and say I should slow down... But how can I see stars if my feet are on the ground?
AMEN.
LOVE THIS LINE TOO MUCH
3.00 wow!!
I've had enough of stepping on snails and causing havoc, time to listen to cool your boots!
Danny ..Immortalised
I want to cry, this is so fuckin' perfect
A true masterpiece
But how can I see the stars if my feet are on the ground?
magnifico tema y sonido
Glorious song. Amazing drums.
💕 AMAZING 💕
Even a stopped clock gives the right time, twice a day.
thanks - i was unable to figure out what he said at the beginning until i saw this lol
Simply amazing
LADIES AND GENTELEMAN THIS IS THE BEST INDIE GROUP EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO BAD SONG TILL THEIR REAL INDIE PERIOD ( GOING BLANK AGAIN ALBUM0
ALL SONGS GREAT
NOT EVEN ONE MEDIOCRE
I think but could well be wrong that the song is Withnail's all encompassing apology to I, finally heartfelt. It posits a situation where Withnail did find fame and was then at a remove from his friend ' printed on your wall'.... I don't know that's how I read it, fuck it it's just a great piece of music
Cool your boots! Say's it all slow down man enjoy life
Subject to misguided teenage loathing on my part, I hated 'em, Loved the Manic Street Preachers but this is fucking brilliant!
Lyrics are acutely well observed too, wish the author every happiness
Across fifty states of mind
I didn't feel inclined
You waited yesterday
I didn't come your way
Now time is moving on
I know it won't be long
Till I'm shuffling away
With nothing more to say
When I'm printed on your wall
My face won't change at all
The smile beneath my hair
Hangs lifeless in the air
Like a net in water
I'm running through it all
And I'm shuffling away
With nothing more to say
It's been preying on my mind
And now I'm just resigned
You smile for yesterday
I think I'm in the way
You seem concerned
And say I should slow down
But how can I see the stars
If my feet are on the ground?
this and Sennen two my favs, so f'kin beautiful
3:00 ahead icame
in my very, very humble opinion: their best tune
yep, top 3 without doubt.
ONE of their best
Damn straight!!
there are perfectly normal and nice guitar pop songs.....and then there are normal and nice guitar pop songs with BASS AND DRUMS AND PRODUCTION like this.
Great Band, great album, 2nd only to the fantastic "Nowhere"
This is fuckin' amazing, I love Ride.
yeah good film too
Those drums!
+Dave Caughley that bass.x
is it a banger? how many drops?
Loz - best drummer ever
Withnail and I
Cool your boots man!
ride were never underrated. they were actually very popular and critics darlings. much more popular then mbv at the time. fact
this is true 101
Whenever they talk about Creation Records or shoegazing Ride is always mentioned.
I live in the U.S where nobody knows them unfortunately. Apparently their show in Detroit had a good turnout and I fucking missed it!
anyone have bass tabs for this song?????
Agree with most of the comnents below. Obviously Nowhere was THE album but this has some great tunes. I dislike the cover though. I always have it turned over.
yeah boys.

Its glory
It's Tuesday, June 13th 2000 and I'm driving home from (mechanical engineering) school where I've just aced a test, listening to a mix tape I made. Trying to overtake a huge truck I realize I won't make it, hit the brakes, the wheels lock, i release the brakes with wheels pointing right, they unlock and the car turns violently to the right and out of the road, the car falls into a pit and start rolling. After it rolls 3-4-5 times, I don't know, it lands upside down, I 'm hanging upside down from the safety belt, but the stereo it still playing. I hear the lyrics
"you seem concerned and say I should slow down
but how can I see stars if my feet are on the ground".
I saw some stars alright..
RIDE are THE best band of the 90s.
I don't know you, I've never met you, but I am really glad you survived.👍
Darn. I was hoping the mix tape had said, ”even a stopped clock..."
*Lyrics unfold as i read this
I crashed my Chevy Impala to a Death Grips song, it wasn't as comforting mate
Amazing album
"criminally underrated band" I like this
Love this song and this album! Criminally underrated band. Along with MBV, Lush and Suede, Ride was constantly in my playlist rotation in the early 90s. Saw them twice...at the Roxy on the "Nowhere" tour and at the Hollywood Palace on the "Going Blank Again" tour. Both were great shows.
I saw both the same shows!
