Elbow toman su nombre de una frase de The Singing Detective de Dennis Potter.
Después de años trabajando sin parar en Manchester, Elbow había sido contratado por Island en 1998. Entonces en 1999, cuando se encerraron para completar su LP debut con Steve Osborne, Island compró su parte a Polygram y el grupo se cayó.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
VERSE 1 BF# Last of the men in hats hops off the coil G#mE And a final scene unfolds inside BF# Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow G#ME Is a part replayed from a perfect day BF# Teaching her how to whistle like a boy G#ME Love's first blush
CHORUS 1 EF# Is this making sense? E What am I trying to say? F# Early evening June E This room and a radio play F# This I need to save E I choose my final thoughts today F#B Switching off with you
VERSE 2 All the clocks give in And the traffic fades And the insects like, like a neon choir The instant fizz Connection made And the curtains sigh In time With you
CHORUS 2 You, the only sense the world has ever made Early evening June This room and a radio play This I need to save I choose my final scene today Switching off
BRIDGE B Ran to ground, ran to ground F#G#ME But I came off, I came off pretty well, I came off pretty well BF# Ran to ground, ran to ground, for a while there G#mE But I came off pretty well, and I came off pretty well EF#B Ah ah ah ah B (Deep in a rain of sparks behind his brow) EF#B Ah ah ah ah
CHORUS 3 You, the only sense the world has ever made This I need to save A simple trinket locked away I choose my final scene today Switching off with you
