The Fix - Elbow

[matthewgilpincom]

they sound like angels and look like the guys who delivered your sofa...

[ninilein1505]

how brilliantly awesome is that?? LOVE it

[gogolplex74]

LOL I thought that song ended at 3:48 and then got scared

[ChemHandbook]

This should so be on a Tarantino film.

Probably their best song, I love it.

[jesuschristlolomgwtf]

@davebrom1, its 4 in the morning, after a day out at the pub and slightly worse for wear, that comment cheered me right up! haha!

[davebrom1]

[hotpotplate]

THIS NEEDS TOO BE REMIXED

[DynamicScherzo]

Perfect villian song :D

[InxNathanielsxArms]

Ha...plaid suits...you made my day...

[drumcatf8]

puttin on the ritz

[sweetttina666]

The music world has been eagerly anticitpating a cutting edge song about.....horse racing?

[deidara19973]

@sweetttina666 About cheating at horse racing

[deckybadbuzz]

this reminds me of that computer game Monkey Island

[katmakenian]

"The redoubtable beast has had pegasus pills" - surely one of the best lyrics ever!

[TechGn0me]

Haha Oh yea! Totally Agree

[hercules6412]

the best band at this time. Big music and big voice!

[LeStarcutter]

elbow = my life.

[Reddasx]

look at this so much positive thinking... i got to put a balance to this...

you suck, you all do, this music sucks, bad ass bietch, i rather eat the rotten asshole, from a rotten skunk drawned with beer, i rather eat diarea mixed with a whole pile of rotten shit then to listen to this music lol

[Maphysto]

Thank you for providing the Youtube quota of idiocy.

[carrot42379]

luving elbow rite now

thy r soooo good

xxxx

[nige7863]

seen them last nite in manchester. best concert ever

[wiseowl12989]

Just heard these guys for the first time, absolutely genius

[hawksmere]

ohh they are good!!! so much effort and perfection goes into to each song!! the loudest tune becomes the most melodic and can also put one to asleep.

[BDlaxer94]

im going to see them live bitchess

[bradleym1]

well I know them all personally bitch LOL!!

[RosieGrl26]

love elbow!!  haunting and spooky and very tim burton, but beautiful and new. they're a breath of fresh air!! huge fan!!

[greenlife7]

This is brilliant.

[Obliviater]

Got to love the contrast between Richard Hawleys deep smooth voice and Guys rough lighter voice, excellent song.

[lloydybench]

the other singer in this song sounds a bit like nick cave

[Catee62]

Loveee <3

[Evergreen2121]

This band reminds me of Procol Harum

[RatherStupid]

wow, haven´t even thought of that! but you´re so right! :D

[nickym110]

My favourite song by elbow

[manygate02]

My daughter has covered this with a band- check this out on youtube: The Fix by Groove Academy's Wanderlust. We are both massive Elbow fans and saw them live some months ago, probably the best conceert we have been to.

[oliecoolboy007]

the fix is so djef

[MissBatstone]

I lvoe this whole song.

[RoboHippo]

I love the part that goes "cause it ain't left to chance that we win". The Wordless part in the middle is also great.

[LilacDownDeep]

The song is about Horse Racing. Note the word, "jockey" and "saddles." xD Lovely song and kinda spooky melody. xD

[d3ku]

It's about fixing a horse race.

[chuckydude1996]

They played this live at the end of either Grame Noreton or Johnathan Ross and its adictive.

[mooglesarerabbits]

TIM DALY'S A SCUTTERBUCKET!

[undergroundML61]

whats this for music sort?

[EliseCullenjonas]

this song makes me laugh,

does it remind anyone else of scar off The lion king?

[TheDiamond2007]

Good call!

[oogie11]

this song is so damn happening...love it :)

[BloodTal0n]

Too bad Youtube converts almost every sound to Mono. This song is so awesome and it's even better and more atmospheric in stereo. A lot of sounds gets cut out when stereo->mono converting commences.

[PobbleRedFlannel]

Try viewing some back catalogue on Youtube, you might find other stuff you like. The middle 2 albums are different again: Cast of Thousands and Leader of the Free World. If you buy the CDs you will probably get some live stuff - they tend to give away bits!

Oh and their very best, cult song is a cover of Destiny's Child "Indpendent women" also available on youtube.... a must for a giggle!

Note to self: get the Live Lounge session (Amy Winehouse covers too)

[Joiner113]

@PobbleRedFlannel You forgot Asleep in the Back, probably one of the best albums ever made. It's even by Elbow :D

[PobbleRedFlannel]

Think this is spooky grab some back catalogue

"I'll be the corpse in your bathtub, stupid..."

[craplin]

I can only guess that the song you are talking about is called "Newborn", and I think it goes like this: "I'll be the corpse in your bathtub, useless..."--"useless", not "stupid". And although the content might be considered spooky or a bit disturbing, I don't find the melody really spooky at all; not as in "The Fix". I like "The Fix" because it's got a fun and kooky, almost Halloween-like vibe to it.

[PobbleRedFlannel]

Sorry hun, he sings "stupid" live - come to think about he he mimes hanging too - not drowning, hey ho!! :D

I can only guess you didn't find them "all" those years ago and haven't grown with them but have come to them lately, perhaps with this song/album!

[craplin]

Yep. I heard "The Fix" on the radio on Halloween - thought it was great and suited the festivities. I haven't seen anything live.

[craplin]

Marvelously spooky melody.

[angelgirl72737]

great song. its just stuck in my head.

[soodleb]

been listening to this for days now..

never get sick of it..

go elbow..

[blueprairiedog]

This song led me to check out Richard Hawley, who is also very good. He's the singer with the low voice; a great combination with Guy Garvey's tenor, in my opinion.

[skwlisboring]

gota love it! :D woop woop to elbow!

[julienmciver]

this and grounds for divorce are tied for best song in my world :)

[starfun17]

is great^_^i like the editors too.

[SethPierre]

love this song. it's how I found out about elbow. We used to play this at my workplace, which was a cafe that also held bdsm fetish nights and sold erotic paraphenalia. I thought this was a very fitting song for the antics that went on!

[julienmciver]

Lol dude :) Whether you're joking or not, this was a funny post :)

[oogie11]

ah, beautiful song, lovely :)

[cmrules]

It's about fixing a horse race. Quality song as well!

[thetime420]

Grat song!!!

But what is this song talking about? Is a fuking acid trip??? lol

[Lilmissmonkey]

As Garvey said at Glasto- "This song is about fixing a horse race"

[maxheadroom1]

i saw this on "johnathan ross show" and was totally hooked....great band ...very underestimated

[wraggyonthehill]

they did this really well on the culture show, the whole album is col tho, one day like this at glasto was amazin!!

[susanmclaren]

Absolutely fantastic. I heard this on a tv show, had never heard of them before but love this.

[GrantMcG]

I really love this song:)

it just rocks, simple:)

[xsvsx]

Guy Garvey & Richard Hawley - is there a better combination? I love this song.

[botsautoke]

Wow

[schellenberg1]

Brilliant song. I think I'm gonna see them in Vancouver this May, as long as they don't sell out. Does anyone know how they are live?

[therodoflove]

superb as ever

[highwireman]

even better than the album. its them; but live. that simple. ive seen em live 3 times. sheer brilliance.

[davewhoisknownasdave]

absolutely brilliant

[GrimKipper]

[bofudge35]
