Elbow - A Regret
This fucking guy in Toronto
Says to his wife, round the front of my hotel
“Just keep talking bitch, no one can hear you.”
And I found my hand on his shoulder
But did I lose my nerve?
Did I stand and sigh but let that guy go by?
Without speaking my mind
Without saying a word?

why do I torture myself like this? :’(
To any Elbow fans out there, I’ve devised a way to test your worth.
Get out Leaders and play Mexican Standoff.
If you can get the opening 1-2-3, 1-2-3 at exactly the right time among the clapping and reeling tape, you are one of Garvey’s chosen.
Good luck.
Starlings — Elbow, live at the Abbey Road Studios
Magical :)

Aside from the accent of Manning which grates on me,
aside from her attempts to be ‘in’ with the Brits, and
aside from the great line ”Refusing to give up, Elbow persevered…”
cracking interview/set
with my best bud.
It is decided.
On the day I turn eighteen, I’m buying Elbow beer. I will keep it, I will cool it, and I will imbibe it once my January exams are done.

Ticker Tape — Elbow
I just love the erratic rhyme and tone of this song.
I you feel they understand,
you must abandon them
This modus operandum

but will always fill your cup.

The Mercury Music Prize-winning band Elbow are to record the BBC’s soundtrack for the London 2012 Olympic Games, it has been announced.
They have composed a six-minute track called First Steps, with a choir taking on the vocals.
Lead singer Guy Garvey said the band were “over the moon” to get the role, and they felt “real responsibility”.

Joe :: eighteen, straight, taken, sixth
form, London periphery. I go by
joedoesnumbers, formerly joe-blogs and
ithrowthistothewind. This is the personal
blog to turnofearth
Elbow, Frank Turner, Shane Koyczan, Panic! at the Disco, Kings of Leon, Jack's Mannequin, Florence + the Machine, Laura Boyle.
Doctor Who, Sherlock, HIGNFY, WLIIA?, Peep Show, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, The IT Crowd, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Father Ted, Futurama, and occasionally HIMYM.
Guy Garvey's Finest Hour (especiallybecause, once, the song I recommended gotplayed). Here's some proof
. I can't even.Guild Wars (R/Mo, Rt/R), Starcraft (Terran), Chrome, n-game, SkiFree. GW 2 as and when.
Gaunt's Ghosts, Eisenhorn, Ravenor, Dan Abnett, Warhammer 40K, reading, writing, maths, French, physics, semi-colons in texts, correcting bad grammar, too many annoying habits, missing the past.
I follow back (most of the time). I'm that cool.
...and finally: I spent 2011 writing
a poem each day, every day for the
entire year. You should check that out.
Time until I see Elbow live:
I absolutely cannot wait.
