Elbow - Scattered Black And Whites (текст песни)
been climbing trees i′ve skinned my knees
my hands are black the sun is going down
she scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam
she′s listening to the dream i weaved today
crosswords through the bathroom door
while someone sings the theme-tune to the news
and my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air
and that′s what triggered this.
i come back here from time to time
i shelter here some days.
a high-back chair. he sits and stares
a thousand yards and whistles
marching-band (boom-ching)
kneeling by and speaking up
he reaches out and i take a
massive hand. disjointed tales
that flit between short trousers
and a full dress uniform
and he talks of people ten years
gone like i′ve known them all my life
like scattered black ′n′ whites….

Текст песни:
Sweet Jesus I′m on fire
She has the sweetest, darkest eyes
And when it comes into her eyes
I know iron and steel couldn′t hold me
But god I′m easy bruised
But so often a moth to her flame
And the things that she′s asked me to do
Would see a senior saint
forgetting his name
I have an audience with the pope
And I′m saving the world at 8
But if she says she needs me, she says she needs me
Everybody′s gonna have to wait
Where could she be?
Was that a minute or an hour?
Where could she be?
She turns the hours into days.
Kill me phone, cover the cage
And wait for the doorbell to ring
Where could she be?
No she won′t come running
Where could she be?
The world is turning at her pace.
Kill me phone, cover the cage
And wait for the doorbell to ring
I have an audience with the pope
And I′m saving the world at 8
But if she says she needs me, she says she needs me
Everybody′s gonna have to wait

Текст песни:
Any day now how′s about getting out of this place. Any ways.
Got a lot of spare time. Some of my youth and all of my senses on overdrive.
What′s got into me? Can′t believe myself!
Must be someone else. Must be.
Don′t play Coltrane you will sleep at the wheel
@ Elbow
Текст песни:
Were you crushed
Did I rush you
All my time is yours
My twisted heart is yours
The faithless shit is yours
The shameless fits of love that only smother you for moments
Until I fold them up and leave
All yours
(chorus)
Oh you had to ask didn′t you (x2)
Oh you had to know
Show your scars
Not to rush you
The hieroglyphic hints in all the toilet scrawl
Guilty little pins
And all the things I never talk about
Are spilling with the gin
Test how tough you are
All yours
(chorus)
Not to rush you
@ Elbow
Текст песни:
You′re a girl in this vicinity
I′m a dog without a collar on
This cattle-market cabaret
Is the Sabbath every Saturday
I′m full of wit and chivalry
Until you′ve given in to me
I′m a dog without a collar on
You′re a girl in this vicinity
Bitten by the tail-fly
Too many times to change
It′s a silent taxi ride away
But it′s everything to get you there
You′ll know when you are bitten-shy
But still you will return my stare
From a crush of blushing brides-to-be
You barely have a blossom on
Your eyes betray your diaries
I′m a dog without a collar on
I′ll take you home
Get you on your own
Sweetness, don′t be bashful
@ Elbow
Текст песни:
Can′t stop thinking
I won′t stop drinking
I need that comfort
I don′t need discipline
Twilights tailing
I had self belief (They don′t compromise)
This has battered me
That′s my history
Hold this shaking frame
Pull this back together
What′s your story?
I want to listen.
I can′t fake pity.
I may not sympathize
Twilights tailing.
Try my lies for size
You might swallow them
While I fantasize
Try-my-lies-for-size.
Hold this shaking frame.

Текст песни:
Found a hole and slipped on through
Kissed the stone and learnt the lines
Jumped the cue all the time forgetting you
Best dishevelled lover 3yrs running
Coming second to
A picket fence white 9-5 whos
Just alive
Beyond repair, there is nothing to say
Save some fading regrets
Yet I can′t be without this
I want you to be around.
Spit-shone lies, juggled debts
Planted flags and made regrets.
Muddled through all the time
Forgetting you
Cut your teeth and breezed on to
another brothers fickle ways
So why amazed when it don′t
Come/turn out your way
@ Elbow
Текст песни:
Don′t mix your drinks
Don′t mix with him.
It will kill you one day.
Good advice. Sound advice.
You need to be like him, like me.
Look what you could achieve.
I′m coming cap-in-hand.
Begging you to listen
Something draws me in!
I just can′t christen it.
@ Elbow
Текст песни:
Before leaving get to the bar
No one round here makes you pay
Never very good at goodbyes
So gentle shoulder charge....
Love you mate.
Love you mate.
Salford sky like gloom
Always you
Could fly round any corner
But til you do....
Love you mate.

Текст песни:
Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid
I′ve been working on a cocktail called "Grounds For Divorce"
Whoah
Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleeve
Whoah
Down comes him on sticks but then he kicks like a horse
Whoah
There′s a Chinese cigarette case and the rest you can keep
and the rest you can keep
and the rest you can keep
There′s a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
There′s a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid
There′s this whispering of jokers doing "Flesh by the Pound"
To a chorus of supporters from the little town halls
There′ll be twisted karaoke at the Aniseed Lounge
And I′ll bring you further roses but it does you no good
and it does me no good
and it does you no good
There′s a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
There′s a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
There′s a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
There′s a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
Someday we′ll be drinking with the seldom seen kid

Текст песни:
The whole towns slippin down a hill.
Like the spine of something dead.
Slide in shadow cobble-creep.
Burn your mark and leave.
The trench conventions yellow eyes
Follow her the local flower
The girls a priest (to me at least)
Since baptism peroxide.
And fear is not respect. Correct.
But it′s the best you′re gonna get
Sharp blow to the bridge of the nose
@ Elbow

-Да!
- И что же произошло?
- Он сел за стол и спокойно поужинал.
- И вы не почувствовали никакого угрызения совести?
- Почувствовала ... когда он попросил добавки.
