Elbow - Leaders of the Free World...

[Everlastinglove]

I've seen Elbow on Monday and the concert was fucking GREAT!!!!!

 

[joyfulgirl]

Fugitive Motel is the best song off COT, I think.

Any Day Now is awesome, as is Powder Blue - definitely my two favorites off of Asleep In the Back.

I'm tempted to agree, but my two favorites have to be "Asleep in the Back" and "Newborn"

At the moment it's all Mexican Standoff!!!!

and it's youuuuuuu
and it's May
and we're sleeping through the day
and I'm five years ago
and three thousand miles away

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

lol, where'd that come from?

 

[joyfulgirl]

My head, dammit! It's stuck. I'm trying to let it out!! I think it's become one of my favorite Elbow songs.

I discovered this "Live from Abbey Road" episode on my DV-R on the weekend, from months ago, which I never watched, and didn't know Elbow was on it. It's really good. They perform Grounds for Divorce, The Bones of You and One Day Like This, and you can see all of them on youtube.

I don't even know what song that is from those lyrics....

it's featured in the youtube clip above

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm crawling with idiot.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I don't even know what song that is from those lyrics....

Shocking.

I still think I like "Seldom Seen Kid" better than "Leaders of the Free World." I guess that's a weird opinion in Elbowville, huh? The ballads on Leaders are still kind of forgettable to me. Not bad, just not special. But I still like it a lot.

 

[u2popmofo]

Well, I listened to the song just now to attempt to make up for it.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I thought he was saying "and it's you, and it's me" until I checked the lyrics, if it makes you feel any better.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

One Day Like This = a wonderful song.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I thought he was saying "and it's you, and it's me" until I checked the lyrics, if it makes you feel any better.

I thought he was saying "me" too

 

[Everlastinglove]

I thought he was saying "me" too

Happened to me to! Whatever!!! The song is just great!!!

 

[powerhour24]

I thought he was saying "and it's you, and it's me" until I checked the lyrics, if it makes you feel any better.

I did to, it sounds just like that, and makes perfect sense in the line, so its definitely an understandable mistake.

The Seldom Understood Lyric

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I think you should change your name to U2punmofo...

 

[u2popmofo]

I Can't Stop making Elbow puns.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

ok, I've started liking Starlings... Still not crazy about the horns but a good song otherwise

 

[joyfulgirl]

Suddenly I need to hear those horns. Might frighten my colleagues, though, especially the ones who haven't had coffee yet.

 

[phanan]

It'll certainly wake them up.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Maybe the title should have been Startlings.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Maybe the title should have been Startlings.

u2punmofo would be proud

 

[phanan]

Maybe the title should have been Startlings.

Well done.

 

[u2popmofo]

This is why joyfulgirl is a Friend of Ours.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]
