Fallen Angel Lyrics

Lyric discussion by georgeporter 

Cover art for Fallen Angel lyrics by Elbow

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.
