Jeans Lover

I discovered a band from Dundee, Scotland, called The View by chance when listening to XFM London. Their song, Same Jeans, caught my attention because I thought one of the band members was from another old band called The La's hailed from Liverpool and I actually loved the melody & the lyric. Yeah, the song sounds like an upbeat version of a song by The La's.

The song titled "Same Jeans" is meaningful to me because I am a jeans lover. I think most of my friends who know me well are aware that I hate formal wear. Thank goodness, I work in a company that allows me to wear jeans to work daily. Any function that jeans is not allowed and if I can be excused for not attending, you won't see me there for sure. For a person that wanted to wear jeans on his wedding day, what do you expect?

I treat my jeans like a life vest because it saved me from being bitten badly by a dog when I was a teenager. It also saved me a couple of times without seriously injuring myself, when I fell from bicycles during my teenage years. When I was in the computer lab, sometimes accidental scratched against the machines could caused bloody marks on the skin without the protection of jeans (I often have to squeeze myself in between machines to pull/plug wires...yeah, I have to be avoid becoming too fat to fit in between the machines too). Unlike formal clothing, jeans can still be worn after it is torn and old. Usually a good pair of jeans can last me about 10 years or more. My favourite jeans is from Levi's. Most of them I bought in U.S. about 6-8 years ago. I still keep one or two in new condition in case I am allowed to attend any function that permit jeans but not old and torn ones. I guess I may need a new pair of jeans pretty soon as most of them are close to 10 years now. I wonder how much is a pair of Levi's jeans in Malaysia!!!

Here's a link to the video clip by The View called "Same Jeans" dedicated to all the jeans lovers around the world:

Same Jeans by The View

Lyric:

I've had the same jeans on for four days now
I'm gonna go to a disco in the middle of the town
Everybody's dressing up
I'm dressing down

Life's one big circle
And it doesn't end
When it ends
Will you still be my friend?

I'm not making a fool of myself
Oh tell me
I'm not making a fool of myself

So
When you look in the mirror
Reflecting back at you someone that you don't know
Oh That's just made your head spin around
So get yourself together
Get your feet back on the ground

I've had the same jeans on for four days now
I'm gonna go to a disco in the middle of the town
Everybody's dressing up
I'm dressing down

I take my hats off to the busker man
When they drown all the sorrows singing songs
Now everything has worked out to plan
But believe me it started as long as it can

So
When you look in the mirror
Reflecting back at you someone that you don't know
Life's just made your head spin around
So get yourself together
Now put your feet back on the ground

I've had the same jeans on for four days now
I'm gonna go to a disco in the middle of the town
Everybody's dressing up
I'm dressing down

My minds not perfect but it's sincere
You'd be amazed at what you can achieve in a year
And you try so hard
But your hearts on a switch
And I know you try so hard
But your hearts on a switch

So
When you look in the mirror
Reflecting back at you someone that you don't know
Life's just made your head spin around
So get yourself together
Get your feet back on the ground

So
When you look in the mirror
Reflecting back at you someone that you don't know
Life's just made your head spin around
So get yourself together
Get your feet back on the ground

Same Jeans on for four days now
Everybody's dressing up I'm dressing down
I'm not making a fool of myself
Now believe me lady I can't tell

Same Jeans on for four days now
Everybody's dressing up I'm dressing down
Im not making a fool of myself
Now believe me lady I can't tell
