Lay Down Your Cross Lyrics

Lyric discussion by lucky with disease 

Cover art for Lay Down Your Cross lyrics by Elbow

This song has the word 'Love' in it 40 times.

This is the later version...the 2002 radio 1 version had a couple of lines different.

'kick of your shoes' instead of 'Cross off your day'

and 'Let's crush the cap on that whiskey'

instead of

' Lie where you lay'

and later

'Dinner is served' All you've deserved

And incidentally, it has the word 'smorgasbord' a total of zero times.

My version had a few lines altered, also;

'Cross off your day' became 'Ahhhhhh, look at all the lonely people'

and 'Climbing a stairway to heaven' rather than 'Lie where you lay'

and further on in the piece I replaced the iconic 'Dinner is served' with the lesser known 'I can't get no satisfaction'.
