Guy Garvey is brilliant, and I think this is one of the more underrated elbow songs. I don't think the number 143 is random at all, as for a while anyway, 143 meant "I love you" as there are 1, 4, and 3 letters in the words, respectively.
The words of course don't say everything. The way Guy delivers the lyrics and the music supporting him really pictures this blissful picture of GG, all 15 stone (210 lbs, 95 kgs) magically flying through his sleep to the one person he wants to be with. Brilliant.
