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 skyline blue
Always you could fly 'round any corner
But until you do
Love you, mate
No one 'round here makes you pay
Never very good at goodbyes
So gentle shoulder charge, love you, mate
Love you, mate
Salford skyline blue
Always you could fly 'round any corner
But until you do
Love you, mate
| ziakut (Slightly North of Obvlivion) | Posted: Nov 28, 2012 - 20:17 This is disjointed and beautiful all at the same time. Elegant and broken. Boiling and cool. I think you get what I'm getting at. |
| stevendejong | Posted: Jul 26, 2012 - 02:22 Heartbreaking. |
| jademon (Vancity) | Posted: Mar 21, 2012 - 09:57 These lyrics are heartbreaking. |

| d-don (Oregon) | Posted: Nov 15, 2011 - 12:10 Very cool song. |
| Marley (Portland, Or) | Posted: Oct 14, 2011 - 22:40 Simply, a beautiful song... |

My advice: have children. |

Beautiful and haunting melody. I love the whole album! The whole album is "dedicated" to their friend....the seldom seen kid.At least 2 or 3 songs are dedicated to him....."love you mate". |

| rockinmeg (Washington, DC) | Posted: Aug 03, 2010 - 12:35 I just bought the disc because I liked the song Weather to Fly so much, and now realize that I know quite a few Elbow songs. Thanks to RP for playing lots of selections from this disc. |

How else does this rate so high (7.5 at the time of this writing)? I give it a 3. Did you see your own ratings before posting this? hehe, talk about like/hate.. and you really hate a lot of songs eh? But maybe you're right.. People are just not as enthusiastic and eager to rate middle-of-the-road semi-good songs. And it makes perfect sense. ![]() But that can't be why this song gets high rating? I like it. Especially the intro. 7. |
