Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun
Shaking off a 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 a 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 you half awake
Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day
When my face is chamois creased
If you think I 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 the light
Yeah, lying with you 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 would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right for life
Throw those curtains wide '' 'Cause holy cow, I love your eyes''
One day like this a year would see me right ''And only now I see the light''
Throw those curtains wide '' 'Cause holy cow, I love your eyes''
One day like this a year would see me right ''And only now I see the light''
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right

| phlattop | Posted: May 17, 2013 - 13:05 their most hopeful/happy sounding tune and consequently, their best, IMO. Yes, I think there's a link between the two. |
| RabbitEars | Posted: May 14, 2013 - 14:48 Thanks RP for turning me on to this band. I bought this album when I first heard it here, and then bought the rest of their catalogue. Still enjoying it all  |
| Bridieboo (Halifax, NS) | Posted: May 06, 2013 - 12:46 I had to crank this one up. So Much Love! |

| superfido (Sweden) | Posted: Feb 28, 2013 - 14:11 Only a good band and a good song could make a cheesy phrase like "holy cow" sound good.  |
| Jack_Jefferson (Columbus, OH) | Posted: Feb 01, 2013 - 13:48 The cover art reminds me of the few times I solved the Rubic's Cube. I made the last two turns so fast, I couldn't tell how I solved it. |

| Vinni_NL (Nijmegen) | Posted: Jan 09, 2013 - 06:11 I did not mean Troll as in the mythical monster, I meant troll as in someone who goes on the internet trying to piss off people who very openly like something the person in question doesn't. Never meant any disrespect sir, just like you I was giving my opinion. In this case on why I thought you (stingray) were still coming back after voting a 1 so many times. |
| kojiroh (Istanbul, Turkey) | Posted: Jan 09, 2013 - 04:42 I first met Guy Garvey when I heard Massive Attack's Flat of the Blade, in which he showed a great performance, and ever since I realized he was the vocalist of Elbow, I've been getting more and more into them. Also, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thought that he sounds like Peter Gabriel. |
| Aud (lost in lakecity) | Posted: Dec 27, 2012 - 23:04 You guys! Stick to the forum topics if you want to go on ranting about your non-musical beliefs! PLEASE! |
| bjesch | Posted: Nov 26, 2012 - 14:08 Like these guys more and more the more the I hear 'em. Also have added appreciation after seeing the iTunes Live concert they performed...excellent work. http://m.elbow.co.uk/news/watch-elbows-itunes-festival-show-online-now/ |
| woodchuk (Lunar Lagrange point L1) | Posted: Nov 16, 2012 - 02:50 Huh???!! A more correct characterization might be http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/garble.htm after this latest outburst of non-sequiturs. Not a troll, more like an evil dwarf....or one of those tiny little dogs that nips at your ankles, throws up in the car ceaselessly and just refuses to shut up whenever the doorbell rings... Oh well, when he shits on the carpet, you just have to rub his nose in it.....that bit is kinda fun, if you can ignore the stink!  Stingray wrote: You want to implement America's latest law on RP? Death-sentence for free speech? Or prefer to cut my tongue or break my fingers, as your fellow buddies enjoy to practise in Afghanistan, Iraq and most likely on Cuba? I do not allow you to call me troll (though you lack the balls to finish your character attack), because I am not! Shall I rate every song a "7", as you mainstream-floaters do? We are all asked to add song comments - exactly what I do and will continue to do! Don't be such a whiner, whistle-pig!
PS Since you fantasize about my looks - I add something to make the piggy whistle!

That goes for both vocals and music. |

I can vouch for you Stingray, you are not a troll. However we have no such law. Not over my dead body. There are some twerpy, rat-fink, Generation Wuss, bully noisemakers out there who want to pass a law against "hate speech". Read my lips: THIS LAW WILL NEVER PASS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. (that's European BS) As for your slander of the US troops in Afghanistan. I'll just quote Voltaire. The words I live by: I may not agree with a word you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it. |
| Sasha2001 (Nowhere near a public restroom...) | Posted: Oct 12, 2012 - 14:25 Elbow kind of makes me wish George Martin had never thought to put strings to rock music. |

| ziggytrix (Dallas, TX) | Posted: Aug 28, 2012 - 12:37 A gorgeous song about the first day of absolutely knowing you're in love with someone who loves you right back! Is it bombastic and repetitive? Sure. But I think that fits the subject. |

| LucretiaUK | Posted: Jul 10, 2012 - 02:50 This is played FAARRR too often. A friend used it for the credits music after a big emotional ending on a movie he made and this constant over over OVER playing of the tune is ruining it for me! |
