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