Текст песни:

I plant the kind of kiss
That wouldn′t wake a baby
On the self same face
The lie wouldn′t let me sleep
And the street is singing with my feet
And dawn gives me a shadow I know to be taller
All down to you, dear
Everything has changed

My sorry name
Has made it to grafitti
I was looking for
Someone to complete me
Not anymore, dear.
Everything has changed

You make the moon a mirrorball
The streets an empty stage
The city′s silence, violins
Everything has changed

So lift off love
All down to you, dear
And lift off love
All down to you, dear

And we took the town to town last night
And we kissed like we invented it
And now I know what every step is for
To lead me to your door
Know that while you sleep
Everything has changed

You make the moon a mirrorball
The streets an empty stage
The city′s silence, violins
Everything has changed.
Everything has changed.
Everything has changed.

Текст песни:

Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun
Shaking off the heavy one
Heavy like a loaded gun

What made me behave that way?
Using words I never say
I can only think it must be love
Oh, anyway, it′s looking like a beautiful day

Someone tell me how I feel
It′s silly wrong but vivid right
Oh, kiss me like the final meal
Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight

Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
And only now I see the light
Yeah, lying with me half-awake
Oh, anyway, it′s looking like a beautiful day

When my face is chamois-creased
If you think I′ll wink, I did
Laugh politely at repeats
Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin

Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
And only now I see you like
Yeah, lying with me half-awake
Stumbling over what to say
Well, anyway, it′s looking like a beautiful day

So throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year′d see me right!

Текст песни:

Your eyes are just like black spiders
Your hair and dress in ribbons. Babycakes
In despair or incoherent. Nothing in between
China white, my bride tonight
Smiling on the tiles

Bring that minute back
We never get so close as when the sunward flight begins

I share it all with you
Powder blue
Stumble through the crowds together
They′re trying to ignore us. That′s o.k.
I′m proud to be the one you hold when the shakes begin

Sallow skinned, starry eyed, blessed
In our sin
Bring that minute back
We never get so close to death
Makes you so alive
I share it all with you

Текст песни:

My brother fear is only natural
You need to chill your fucking bones
You will feel Christ-like
When it′s breathing in and out
Right there on the pillow

@ Elbow

Текст песни:

Can′t stop thinking
I won′t stop drinking
I need that comfort
I don′t need discipline
Twilights tailing
I had self belief (They don′t compromise)
This has battered me
That′s my history
Hold this shaking frame
Pull this back together

What′s your story?
I want to listen.
I can′t fake pity.
I may not sympathize
Twilights tailing.
Try my lies for size
You might swallow them
While I fantasize
Try-my-lies-for-size.
Hold this shaking frame.

Текст песни:

Been climbing trees I′ve skinned my knees
My hands are black the sun is going down
She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam
She′s listening to the dream I weaved today
Crosswords through the bathroom door
While someone sings the theme-tune to the news
And my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air
And that′s what triggered this.
I come back here from time to time
I shelter here some days.

A high-back chair. He sits and stares
A thousand yards and whistles
Marching-band (Boom-ching)
Kneeling by and speaking up
He reaches out and I take a
Massive hand. Disjointed tales
That flit between short trousers
And a full dress uniform
And he talks of people ten years
Gone like I′ve known them all my life
Like scattered black ′n′ whites….

Текст песни:

Any day now how′s about getting out of this place. Any ways.
Got a lot of spare time. Some of my youth and all of my senses on overdrive.
What′s got into me? Can′t believe myself!
Must be someone else. Must be.
Don′t play Coltrane you will sleep at the wheel

Текст песни:

A friend of mine grows his very own brambles
They twist all around him ′til he can′t move
Beautiful, quivering, chivalrous shambles
What is my friend trying to prove?

The bruise turns a tall, gentle boy to a terrible totem
And the kids gather round trying to see what′s inside
I think when he′s drinking he′s drowning some riot
What is my friend trying to hide?
Cause it′s breaking my heart, it′s breaking my heart
And it′s breaking my heart to pull out the rain
Brother of mine, don′t run with those fuckers
When will my friend start singing again?
When will my friend start singing again?

@ Elbow

Текст песни:

Come as you are sweetheart, come as you are.
You know you′ve got nothing to prove
I′ll put you to bed you can let it all go
You′ve been playing too rough lately

You burn too bright
You live too fast
This can′t go on too long
You′re a tragedy starting to happen
Just as you are. Perfect just as your are
I′ll give you the time you deserve.
Don′t make those promises
Don′t tell me again.

@ Elbow

Текст песни:

How dare the premier ignore my invitations
He′ll have to go
So to the bunchy luncheons
with it′s second on my list of things to do

At the top I′m stopping by
Your place of work and acting like
I haven′t dreamed of you and I
And marriage in an orange grove
You are the only thing in any room you′re ever in
I′m stubborn, selfish and too old.

I sat you down and told you how
the truest love that′s ever found
Is for oneself
You pulled apart my theory
With a weary and disinterested sigh

So yes I guess I′m asking you
To back a horse that′s good for glue
And nothing else
But find a man that′s truer than,
Find a man that needs you more than I

Sit with me a while
And let me listen to you talk about
your dreams and your obsessions
I′ll be quiet and confessional
The violets explode inside me
when I meet your eyes
Then I′m spinning and I′m diving
Like a cloud of starlings

Darling is this love?

@ Elbow

Текст песни:

Sweet Jesus I′m on fire
She has the sweetest, darkest eyes
And when it comes into her eyes
I know iron and steel couldn′t hold me
But god I′m easy bruised
But so often a moth to her flame
And the things that she′s asked me to do
Would see a senior saint
forgetting his name

I have an audience with the pope
And I′m saving the world at 8
But if she says she needs me, she says she needs me
Everybody′s gonna have to wait

Where could she be?
Was that a minute or an hour?
Where could she be?
She turns the hours into days.

Kill me phone, cover the cage
And wait for the doorbell to ring

Where could she be?
No she won′t come running
Where could she be?
The world is turning at her pace.

Kill me phone, cover the cage
And wait for the doorbell to ring

I have an audience with the pope
And I′m saving the world at 8
But if she says she needs me, she says she needs me
Everybody′s gonna have to wait

Текст песни:

The fix is in
There′s a nag on the dank at Epsom

The fix is in
Can′t wait to see how it upsets ′em

Too many times we′ve been postally pipped
We′ve loaded the saddled, the mickeys are slipped
We′re swapping the turf for the sand and the surf and the sin
Cause the fix, the fix is in

The fix is in
The odds that I got were delicious

The fix is in
The jockey is cocky and vicious

The redoubtable beast has had pegasus pills
We′ll buy him the patch in the Tuscany hills
And the Vino di Vici will flow like a river in spring
Now the fix, the fix is in

The fix is in
The snaps of the steward so candid

The fix is in
Yes, our pigeons have finally landed

The Donahue sisters will meet us in France
In penguins and pearls, we′ll drink and we′ll dance
′Til the end of our days, cause it ain′t left to chance
That we win
Cause the fix, the fix is in

@ Elbow

Текст песни:

Were you crushed
Did I rush you
All my time is yours
My twisted heart is yours
The faithless shit is yours
The shameless fits of love that only smother you for moments
Until I fold them up and leave
All yours

(chorus)
Oh you had to ask didn′t you (x2)
Oh you had to know

Show your scars
Not to rush you
The hieroglyphic hints in all the toilet scrawl
Guilty little pins
And all the things I never talk about
Are spilling with the gin
Test how tough you are
All yours

(chorus)

Not to rush you

@ Elbow

Текст песни:

So I′m there
Charging around with a juggernaut brow
Overdrive, speeches and deadlines to make
Cramming commitments like cats in a sack
Telephone burn and a purposeful gait

When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch
Of a song that I know
And the world moves in slow-mo
Straight to my head
like the first cigarette of the day

And it′s you, and it′s May
And we′re sleeping through the day
And I′m five years ago
And three thousand miles away

Do I have
time? A man of my calibre
Stood in the street like a sleepwalking teenager
No.
And I dealt with this years ago
I took a hammer to every memento
But image on image like beads on a rosary
pulled through my head as the music takes hold
and the sickener hits; I can work till I break
but I love the bones of you
That, I will never escape

And it′s you, and it′s May
And we′re sleeping through the day
And I′m five years ago
And three thousand miles away

And I can′t move my arm
Through the fear that you will wake
And I′m five years ago
And three thousand miles away

@ Elbow

Текст песни:

You′re a girl in this vicinity
I′m a dog without a collar on
This cattle-market cabaret
Is the Sabbath every Saturday

I′m full of wit and chivalry
Until you′ve given in to me
I′m a dog without a collar on
You′re a girl in this vicinity

Bitten by the tail-fly
Too many times to change
It′s a silent taxi ride away
But it′s everything to get you there
You′ll know when you are bitten-shy
But still you will return my stare
From a crush of blushing brides-to-be
You barely have a blossom on
Your eyes betray your diaries
I′m a dog without a collar on
I′ll take you home
Get you on your own
Sweetness, don′t be bashful

@ Elbow

Текст песни:

Gotta get out of TV
Just pick a point and go
The ticker-tape tangles my feet
As I search for a face that I know
Come on, tower crane driver
There′s not so far to go

I must have been working the ropes
When your hand slipped from mine
No I live off the mirrors and smoke
It′s a joke, a fix, a lie
Come on, tower crane driver
Oh so far to throw

Send up a prayer in my name
Just the same
They say I′m on top of my game
_______________
Send up a prayer in my name
