Fly Boy Blue/ Lunette

Elbow

    It's a lethal ballet
    Air traffic congestion
    I'm having a baby
    Second thoughts, scotch, dinner
    And someone's dancing on the box
    A former mp
    And no one was watching

    My oldest friends are a serious habit
    Fly boy blue, so bring your faces home,
    To my sweet trampoline
    And acres of crash site love

    Someone's dancing on the box
    A former mp
    And no one was watching
    My oldest friends are a serious habit
    Fly boy blue, so bring your faces home
    To my sweet trampoline
    And acres of crash site love

    Presidential delays
    Suppose I'm just lucky
    I'm having a shindig
    Me, red bob and the ivory host
    And someone's shouting on the box
    A chinless prefect gone godzilla
    My newest friends have forgotten my name
    But so have I, so far so good and home
    You and me trampoline and oceans of crash site love

    What can be said of the cigarette smokes
    A prop for a joke or a mark on the clock
    If I stopped would the bus ever come
    Would the dawn ever kiss me, forgiven me, knowing what's done
    Would the drivel make scribble make sense and then song
    Would the woodbines denied black another man's lungs
    Perverse as it may sound I sometimes believe
    The tip to my lips just reminds me to breathe

    What can be said of the whiskey and wine
    Random abandon or ballast for joy
    That was scuppered with trust, little more than a boy
    And besides I'm in excellent company
    I'm reaching the age when decisions are made
    On life and liver and I'm sure last ditch
    That'll I'll ask for more time
    But mother forgive me
    I still want a bottle of good irish whiskey and a bundle of smokes in my grave

    But there isn't words yet for the comfort I get
    From the gentle lunette at the top of the nape of the neck that I wake to

    And where are the words for the leap in my chest
    When mischief appears either side of the scar on your nose
    Made by a rose thorn, so you claim
    By a rose thorn
