Well, give that girl my very best
Though it never made the grade
If it seems that it's just not enough to love
Then love lie down
And would you tell her
Not to talk as if I died
Though a tiny part just did
And would you tell her
I'm from a long line of survivors
And I'll be swinging with the kids

Keep your sympathy
Don't need the healing to start
You've gone
Gone and made a beautiful hole in my heart


In the corner of the room
In the room we used to love
Of the love we should say this
There were switches never flicked
Long away and far apart
That's how forest fires start
Start again it felt like this
Fresh and simple as a kiss
I bounce these feelings off the moon
The echoes don't come back

Keep your sympathy
Don't need the healing to start
You've gone
Gone and made a beautiful hole in my heart

Of the love we should say this
There were, there were switches never flicked

Keep your sympathy
Don't need the healing to start
You've gone
Gone and made a beautiful hole in my heart

Keep your sympathy
Don't need the healing to start
You've gone

Thank you Bill for sharing this amazing band with everyone. I have been a lover of their very fine and beautiful music for years now, and I am happy that more people can enjoy the wonderful sounds of Elbow. Cheers again Bill!    {#Cheers}

Sounded a bit like Porcupine Tree with Peter Gabriel . . . as others have mentioned. Interesting

I totally thought the same thing. Also heard hints of Gabriel in the voice.

Great (sad) song.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who hear(s/d) Peter Gabriel in this.

This is another one of those "only on RP songs" that I will hear again in, say, 15 years, and will say to myself, "Hey, I remember that tune!"

I like this. Might need to hear something else before I flash the card.

How about the music?


What the?
I missed a previous post, I guess. I get the "Elbow" part. It's just a name. The Rolling Stones? Stones rolling down the road. Beck? Beck. Tea Party? You get where I'm going, I think.

Elbow. The melancholic's Coldplay. Seriously though, I like these guys.
