....I never meant this to be a daily thing.....I just keep finding quotes.... I guess I always did...just never had anyone to inflict them on..... plus they got lost....'The Seldom Seen Kid': another CD I must blog on soon (still yourselves...settle down...). I have always had a soft spot for Elbow as one of the lead singer's friends was once part of a former congregation (Don't you just love hanging on the coattails of fame? Did I ever tell you the story of when I saw 'Wham' in a service station?....ok I won't).
This CD is beautiful, yearning and just lovely. Take the mystic yearning of 'The loneliness of a tower crane driver':-
'Now I live off the mirrors and smoke.
It's a joke.
A fix.
A lie.
Come on tower crane driver.
Oh so far to fall.
Send up a prayer in my name.
Just the same.
They say I'm on top of my game.
Gentle gentle love.
Send up a prayer in my name.'
Ah..... turn the lights off...kick your shoes off...light a candle...light several.....find a mature single malt... lie back... and once you know this song. I defy you to sing it in this mood and not have tears pouring down your face.
