Cover art for Long War Shuffle lyrics by Elbow

Likely its about a lad clubbing it, looking for a girl, waiting on the edge of the dance floor cracking his knuckles in anticipation or uncertainty. Sick of waiting for the right girl to come along. Everyone move - as though the intention of finding a girl isn’t there - not finding her - taking a deep breath - going home - locking the door - realizing its going to be a long - long “war”.
