Elbow – Presuming Ed (Rest Easy) Lyrics 17 years ago
'This is why we are here' seems like a direct reference to the humankind's basic biological aim; to reproduce.

Lovely song, guy's voice is beautiful.

second time round is definitely "I wish I was hard."
to me it sounds more like "I wish I was part" the first time...

Elbow – The Stops Lyrics 17 years ago
the drumming at the end isn't actually that spectacular; it just sounds good because of the way it's recorded.
not that i'm knocking richard's drumming; he's great. his style is quite different to others and more conventional bands, and it gives their music a whole extra dimension, for me anyway.

i love this song. i really related to it when i first heard it, so it's been one of my favourite elbow songs ever since.
beautiful.
