Album Review: Elbow - Build A Rocket Boys! (Fiction/Polydor)
Touching, inventive and teeming with goodwill
Specificity in art is a sign of bravery. Anyone who obfuscates what they mean (either for lack of something to say or for fear of being taken to task) is not only a coward but probably not worthy of the tag ‘artist’ in the first place.

Elbow - Lippy Kids Lyrics
Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin
Settling like crows
Though I never perfected the simian stroll
Elbow - The Birds Lyrics
The birds are the keepers of our secret
As they saw us where we lay
In the deepest grass of springtime
In a reckless guilty haze
Elbow - With Love Lyrics
Best intentions bring joyless droughts
Pack your hacksaw come push me out
When your dentures prevent your smile
These adventures will fill your eyes
Elbow - Neat Little Rows Lyrics
My high priestess folded neatly
Back in your box, oh Lord
Called the song, he sang so sweetly
Back in your box, oh Lord
Elbow - Jesus Is A Rochdale Girl Lyrics
I have a drop-leaf window
With cats and broken yards
Sunflowers and paint cans
And stolen shopping carts
Elbow - The Night Will Always Win Lyrics
I throw this to the wind
But what if I was right
Well, did you trust your noble dreams
And gentle expectations to the mercy of the night?
Elbow - High Ideals Lyrics
There's a ladder tear in my high ideals
Like I took a chair on the battlefield
And any noble friend that was burning in my chest
Is acid in my belly at the very best
Elbow - The River Lyrics
I walked with the river in kind of a dream
Hand in hand, the all knowing river and me
To the clamor of rushes and deeply barren trees
A drunk making blossom, the blush to be seen
Elbow - Open Arms Lyrics
You're a law unto yourself
And we don't suffer dreamers
But neither should you walk the earth alone
Elbow - Dear Friends Lyrics
Dear friends
You are angels and drunks
You are magi
