Elbow "Leaders of the Free World" |
I'm sick of working for a living I'm just ticking off the days till I die I miss you Louise And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth Periscope up I've been looking for a ladder I need to see THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF And remind him what was passed onto me Your mum don't sleep! The friends you keep! I didn't raise a thief! But the LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD Are just little boys throwing stones And its easy to ignore �til they're knocking on the door of your homes My thinking isn't driven But the music always gives me a lift I'm so easy to please But I think we dropped the baton like the 60's didn't happen. Oh no. Periscope up Should be looking for a ladder I need to se THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF And remind him what was passed onto me Your mum don't sleep! The friends you keep! I didn't raise a thief! Passing the gun from Father to FECKLESS son We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young An Imagined Affair A sky as black as regret is rolling aside for the blue Impossible face to forget These feelings belong in a zoo She brings the morning She brings the morning sun So lost in the sound of her voice I don,t even hear the words When she says come on get out The past will find us out Come on get out please And don't breathe a word She brings the morning She brings the morning sun But all this an imagined affair While sitting in a bar spilling in a bar I drink until the doorman is a Christmas tree And my speech is just a gas leak Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
