You come across as pompous and ignorant in this post. You've assumed that just because there were no comments at the time you posted that somehow americans are all idiots and can only speak one language. What are you basing that on? You're stereotyping an entire race based on a lack of comments on a website. Who's the ignorant one here? Good for you, you can speak more than one language. What do you want? A portion of fries? |

| Elbow – Grounds for Divorce Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I think the song is pretty obviously about the death of a close friend. He's turned to alcoholism in a dingy shithole of a bar and is drinking away his woes, while being constantly aware that his life needs some direction. I think the line says "whispering of jokers doing flesh by the pound, to a chorus of supposes from the little town haunts". Haunts as in crappy local pubs. In this version he says "by the little town haunts" and it's quite clear he doesn't say whores. There's a T there at the end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNIXPQoz0s0&feature=related |

Woah, calm down. If it's a well known cocktail, I've never heard of it. Maybe they sell it in a bar in Manchester, but it's probably named after this song more than anything. He's working on it, as in, inventing it. You could say he's been working on it as in drinking it, but that's where our opinions differ I guess. "The "Grounds for Divorce" are not literal" "it is not an in-depth song. It is literal" Contradiction? |
