Fallen Angel

In an interview Guy said this song's about a "cool late night scene" where there's a beautiful young girl that everyone in the town is after. She then falls pregnant and the father could be one of several people and suddenly no one wants anything to do with her. Guy wrote this about a true story about a girl he knew but her and the baby and doing fine.

I read heard the same meaning also. Awesome song. I love the sound and the way his voice flows through my ears.

I have a friend and upon asking him if he likes Elbow (because you have to like Elbow to pass in my books ;)), he told me "Yeah, they wrote a song about my godfather". Turns out it was this song... I'm yet to confirm if this is true or not but I thought perhaps it could clear up some 'rumours'.

Oh, and when I asked him why they wrote the song, he said "Because he had an awesome life". I haven't read that much in to the lyrics yet to decide whether this song is about him, but it could well be.

I suppose the lines "You don't need to sleep alone You bring the house down" would explain the 'awesomeness' of his life.

I don't know. It could all be bullcrap, but this is how I'm going to think of it.
