Newborn Lyrics

Lyric discussion by straydog89 

Cover art for Newborn lyrics by Elbow

This song starts very creepily, with the image of someone dying in someone's arms, which can be touching, it is a love song after all, but still the imagery is abit rough, especially the first line, but after that the song develops beautifully, definitely elbows best song, nothing better in life than growing old with the one you love.

@straydog89 interestingly enough in one gig Guy Garvey, instead of saying corpse says “duck” because it is dedicated to somebody in the audience who is pregnant. Elbow is now still playing of course, still creating songs but this is the best live song ever imo - on YouTube at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. Check it out.
