"The Bones of You"

Elbow - The Bones of You

So I'm there,

Charging around

with a juggernaut brow

Overdraft speeches

and deadlines to make

Cramming commitments

like cats in a sack

Telephone burn

and a purposeful gait

 

When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch

Of a song that I know

and the world moves in slow-mo

Straight to my head

like the first cigarette of the day

 

And it's you and it's May

And we're sleeping through the day

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away

 

Do I have time?

A man of my calibre?

Stood in the street

like a sleepwalking teenager?

No. And I dealt with this years ago

I took a hammer

to every memento

 

But image on image

like beads on a rosary

Pull through my head

as the music takes hold

And the sickener hits,

I could work till I break

But I love the bones of you,

that I will never escape

 

And it's you, and it's May

And we're sleeping through the day

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away

 

And I can't move my arm

For the fear that you will wake

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away

 

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away
