Lyrics:

Pull the final splinters
Of missing picture winters
You have to give yourself a break
What's the fascination
With lovers at the station
You have to tear yourself away

The dream again nobody understands
Walking through the long grass on your hands
It's not a job to do today
Sleep it off

Words to make her stay: you said
Leave me and the plants die
A panic smile across your face
Corrugated brow line
The hissing bitter punchline
Call when you can tie your lace

You rule my world my brother
You rule my world compare

2nd Elbow tune of the work-day... Strict Approach this morning... not bad but a little fuzzy.

Hey kids, want to produce your own music just like the world-famous Elbow? Here's how! 1) Turn on electronic keyboard. 2) Put heavy object on keys. 3) Moan into microphone. 4) ?? 5) Profit!!
Try it yourself and tell me where to download it, I would like to see if the final result is as close as good as elbow's music.

Elbow are miscast as miserablists. Check out the album to change your mind. It has a big footy style chant to finish off. Uplifting and thoughtful.
I'm sorry, but if Bigfoot ever started to chant....it wouldn't make me buy the album! This, I like!

I swear this sounds like Ween in the beginning of this song. It fools me everytime...Not bad, though...But hearing Tried and True by Ween would really make my day after this song! :)

I like when a band lets the bass player play some of the lead stuff on his bass. They usually never get to have any fun (and they don't get invited anywhere either)

Sounds like Eric Woolfson (former singer in the Alan Parson Project). (It's not... just checked (click here)) s
