Sweet Jesus, I'm on fire

For some absurd, inhumane and generally ridiculous reason, I never heard much about, nor was into the band Elbow until I went to the Leeds Festival the other week (yes, that's what the ****'s were about... I'm really smart to have put the exact amount so that Ryan could easily guess it, aren't I?)

I feel ashamed to only be recognising their godly musical awesomeness but I'm sure I'll be forgiven as I welcome it with WIDE open arms because never on the first listen has a couple of songs got me to go out and buy two entire albums... Good God these guys are good ¦3

Therefore I dedicate the rest of this post to my favourite song off my now favourite album, and just general OMFG I LOVE THIS SONG... Yeah 8)


Also, I highlighted the lines I love most..




Mirrorball

I plant the kind of kiss

That wouldn't wake a baby

On the self same face

The lie wouldn't let me sleep

And the street is singing with my feet

And dawn gives me a shadow I know to be taller

All down to you, dear

Everything has changed

My sorry name

Has made it to graffiti

I was looking for

Someone to complete me

Not anymore, dear.

Everything has changed

You make the moon a mirrorball

The streets an empty stage

The city's sirens, violins

Everything has changed

So lift off love

All down to you, dear

And lift off love

All down to you, dear

And we took the town to town last night

We kissed like we invented it

And now I know what every step is for

To lead me to your door

Know that while you sleep

Everything has changed

You make the moon a mirrorball

The streets an empty stage

The city's sirens, violins

Everything has changed.

Everything has changed.

Everything has changed

So lift off love

Lift off love
All down to you, dear
Lift off love
All down to you, dear
Lift off love
All down to you, dear
Lift off love
All down to you, dear
Lift off love
All down to you, dear
Lift off love
All down to you, dear

If you couldn't tell, the parts I highlighted started from "I plant the kind of kiss" to the last time he sings "All down to you dear"
