Elbow – An Audience with the Pope Lyrics 15 years ago
Guy's comments at the Wembley gig about this song is pretty much what has been said. It is about a relationship with a girl who basically kept him dangling on a piece of string. He would basically drop everything the moment she called, hence the lines.....

I have an audience with the pope
And I'm saving the world at 8
But if she says she needs me, she says she needs me
Everybody's gonna have to wait

He's waiting for her all the time, she calling all the shots.

Elbow – Friend of Ours Lyrics 15 years ago
A wonderful song and, despite what was said previously, has only been played by the band live once. That was actually for the Live from Abbey Road Version with the BBC Orchestra. You can actually see just what this song means to Guy on that video.

This wasn't played at the Wembley Arena gig. I was also there.
