Another Number.

this song reminds me of when i went travelling on my own in europe

"I'm alone and I'm cold Just another number on another road" And I never knew my name"

says to me 'self discovery'

one of my favourite cribs tunes

no comments?

come on the cribs are amazing!

i love this song its my favourite cribs song, havent a clue what it means though

When I first heard it I thought it was something to do with a car accident. And it was so bad they didnt recognise who it was, so "i never knew my name" would make sense. also i think they are given numbers if they are unidentifiable so that would make sense as well as being a road accident statistic. great song though =D

I don't think the lyrics are about anything so complicated as a car crash. The song to me is about being lonely, nobody knowing who you are, passing you in the street and not noticing you.

"Just another number on another road" explains the feeling of not being un-noticed.

I'm alone, and I'm cold Just another number On another row And I never knew my name.

I disappear for hours, Over the smallest things I disappear for house, Ba da ba da da ba ba Ba da da da Ba da ba da da ba ba Ba da da da

And I never knew my name.

Just about feeling like nobody cares about you.

Ryan Jarman confirmed that it's ROW not ROAD on the Cribs forum.
