Our Bovine Public Lyrics

Lyric discussion by badlydrawn27 

Cover art for Our Bovine Public lyrics by Cribs, The

this song sounds like it's about the tabloid media and their relationship with the band. perhaps it's refering to journalists when it says "you'd never exist without being generic" and the readers of tabloids whom it describes as "bovine"

not sure about the reference to "a year of doing nothing with your life", perhaps it's describing a person and how they were depicted in the tabloids???

any ideas
