K2 - Elbow[00:00:00]
Written by:Guy Garvey/Craig Potter/Mark Potter/Pete Turner[00:00:00]
I'm imagining rippling fingers on keys[00:01:04]
Miming it wild on a cold stone table[00:01:08]
Picturing and wishing for home and jiggling my knees[00:01:12]
Send an urgent cable[00:01:17]
Dickhead's done a runner and he's wondering[00:01:20]
If anyone cares[00:01:22]
Is the landing light on[00:01:25]
Back to the pebbles that mum's eggs hatched in[00:01:28]
Give me her perfume[00:01:32]
Give me her prayers and advice[00:01:34]
Hands up if you've never seen the sea[00:01:36]
I'm from a land with an island status[00:01:39]
Makes us think that everyone hates us[00:01:43]
Maybe darling they do[00:01:46]
But they haven't met you[00:01:49]
They only know the villains at the tiller[00:01:52]
And they gambled the farm on a headline[00:01:55]
Jesus getting harder to see what they're doing 'til it's done[00:01:59]
And they're never gonna make an arrest on fleet street[00:02:03]
Yes and I'm given to believing in love[00:02:09]
I've written the word in my blood[00:02:14]
And I perch on a shelf of the K2[00:02:18]
Made of the believers that[00:02:22]
Love opens the fist just enough for a hand[00:02:24]
To slip into the hand[00:02:31]
To slip into the hand[00:02:35]
I've been asleep in the woods with a mother to be[00:02:39]
Planning on a static caravan in the Andes[00:02:43]
Making a break with the steel magpie on the rise[00:02:48]
Defeat in our time or do we[00:02:53]
Meet on the street again due to the few[00:02:56]
Batter it out and refresh vendetta[00:03:00]
Better surely to pause[00:03:03]
Consider the path[00:03:05]
It's full of blood snot and teeth and the glory of no one[00:03:07]
Hands up if you've never seen the sea[00:03:12]
We're from a place with an island status[00:03:15]
Queuing round the corner for a pencil and paper[00:03:19]
Again[00:03:23]
Come the virus of virii[00:03:25]
God send us to a digital end[00:03:28]
With following strangers and swiping at friends[00:03:31]
I'll send you a postcard[00:03:35]
See you in Hull[00:03:38]
In a sweater made of Atacama llama wool[00:03:39]
Yes and I'm given to believing in love[00:03:45]
I've written the word in my blood[00:03:50]
And I perch on a shelf of the K2[00:03:54]
Made of the believers that[00:03:58]
Love opens the fist just enough for a hand[00:04:00]
To slip into the hand[00:04:07]
To slip into the hand[00:04:11]
Yes and I'm given to believing in love[00:04:17]
I've written the word in my blood[00:04:22]
I've seen it make a heaven of[00:04:26]
Backstreet bedsit and bomb site living room[00:04:27]
Love opens the fist just enough for a hand[00:04:32]
To slip into the hand[00:04:39]
To slip into the hand[00:04:43]
