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

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:

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:

Found a hole and slipped on through
Kissed the stone and learnt the lines
Jumped the cue all the time forgetting you

Best dishevelled lover 3yrs running
Coming second to
A picket fence white 9-5 whos
Just alive

Beyond repair, there is nothing to say
Save some fading regrets
Yet I can′t be without this
I want you to be around.

Spit-shone lies, juggled debts
Planted flags and made regrets.
Muddled through all the time
Forgetting you

Cut your teeth and breezed on to
another brothers fickle ways
So why amazed when it don′t
Come/turn out your way

@ Elbow

Текст песни:

Don′t mix your drinks
Don′t mix with him.
It will kill you one day.
Good advice. Sound advice.
You need to be like him, like me.
Look what you could achieve.
I′m coming cap-in-hand.
Begging you to listen
Something draws me in!
I just can′t christen it.

@ Elbow

Текст песни:

Before leaving get to the bar
No one round here makes you pay
Never very good at goodbyes
So gentle shoulder charge....
Love you mate.

Love you mate.

Salford sky like gloom
Always you
Could fly round any corner
But til you do....
Love you mate.

Текст песни:

Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

I′ve been working on a cocktail called "Grounds For Divorce"
Whoah
Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleeve
Whoah
Down comes him on sticks but then he kicks like a horse
Whoah
There′s a Chinese cigarette case and the rest you can keep
and the rest you can keep
and the rest you can keep

There′s a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
There′s a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall

Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

There′s this whispering of jokers doing "Flesh by the Pound"
To a chorus of supporters from the little town halls
There′ll be twisted karaoke at the Aniseed Lounge
And I′ll bring you further roses but it does you no good
and it does me no good
and it does you no good

There′s a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
There′s a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
There′s a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
There′s a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall

Someday we′ll be drinking with the seldom seen kid

Текст песни:

The whole towns slippin down a hill.
Like the spine of something dead.
Slide in shadow cobble-creep.
Burn your mark and leave.

The trench conventions yellow eyes
Follow her the local flower
The girls a priest (to me at least)
Since baptism peroxide.

And fear is not respect. Correct.
But it′s the best you′re gonna get
Sharp blow to the bridge of the nose

@ Elbow

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.
