Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Elbow or about the 2000s in general.

I’ll be the corpse in your bathtub
Useless
I’ll be as deaf as a post
If you hold me like a newborn
Whisper what you feel
My badly strung declaration
To You
You’ll spend the end of your days
Gently smiling like a newborn
Love not by degrees

Press your lips
To my eyes
Taste my tears
On your tongue,
Pull the blinds
Play our song
Nothings changed
Nothing could be wrong.

Scream in the night
Kick and skrike
Like a newborn
Holding me shaking
Awake in the dark
All of these promises
Kept and unbroken
Tracing the scars
Tracing the scars
Even and cold
As we both become older.
Your arms bound about me
The hush in your voice.
The warmth of your fingers
Entwined around mine
In the eve of our lives
Never a choice.
