Feel free to save your applause for the end of the show, your holiness!  You might be a redneck if you insist on drinking communion wine with a straw!  Your priest might be a redneck if Boone's Farm is his communion wine of choice!  What's the deal with that Yoko Ono?!  What about all that traffic in Rome?!!  Your holiness, have I got a treat for you!  I'm going to do my impression of Jack Nicholson working at a Taco Bell!...."

LOL - Could probably say the same thing for every great love song. Dig this one mightily, BTW.

Such an Interesting band.

Great band :)

I think this is a really great song. Good music. 
But this guys voice just ruins it for me.

He's using this definition:
consultation: a conference (usually with someone important); "he had a consultation with the judge"; "he requested an audience with the king"
There's this thing called the Internet that provides all types of info.

Have you heard their cover of "mercy street" (peter gabriel song), elbow scratched back...

I think this is the worst track off of the album.
Sounds like a 78 rpm single played at 33 rpm!
...ooops! I'm showing my age! 

why is it called audience with the pope.  you have a meeting with the pope.  audience?  I guess he would be your audience...   but why is it said like that?

Elbow is such an excellent band.

Nice!!

I recently bought this disc...I'm enjoying it.  So far I like the last track 'friends of ours' best.

I am very sensitive to his voice, I was doing something else and had to come to the computer to see who was singing. First time I hear this one song by Elbow, it's really nice. As for the lyrics, to associate the girl, the pope and saving the world in one song I must confess, is quite strange but somehow it works for my non native english speaker ears.

I'm sure they will. Can't wait for the next one. 

Thank you Bill for increasing your play of Elbow. Can never get enough of these guys :)
