So much for the so-called "service economy." No jobs where people actually produce anything. Just flipping homes and putting money in a gulag casino, a.k.a., the stock market. It's all coming down.
What I dont get is how people complain that the song is "shite" - why bother linking to it, listening to it and then complain about it Nothing better to do with your time!!?? If it aint your "cup of tea" then listen to something you actually do like.
To clarify monkey..thats all U are m8 a fkn slice of zoo entertainment at best!! With MC in ure name just backs it all up! Keep ure processed, Micky Mouse musical opinions in Heat mag where they belong!
i think your sposed to wonder why the dude is so happily flipping the sing around like is he sposed to be in love? maybe its just a video to portay a feeling i actually think its quite cool but i have no idea why
If the meaning of 'prick' is to be concise, accurate and detailed then I'm a prick. If you use it in the more usual meaning, then sorry to burst the little bubble surrounding your pathetically small and dull life, but I am not one. Maybe you should look in the mirror if you want to see one.
No, I just like to be accurate. You lose credibility if your 'correction' is in fact incorrect. Simple.
We all have our expertise somewhere, some people maybe haven't found their area yet though, and some people are looser of tongue when posting entries on an anonymous internet. - just like joshere341 who has never met me, never will (luckily for me) but claims to be able to put my entire personality into a single word.
@Evanismelike - How funny, your dad obviously has good taste in music. I don't know what point you are trying to make, other than your dad listens to Elbow !
@19861953 - strange how you correct someone and get it wrong yourself. The lead singers name is Guy, not Gury (Birth name, Guy Edward John Patrick Garvey. Born, March 6, 1974)
yea my dad likes the sex pistols, the beatles,pink floyd,jimi hendrix,oasis,arctic monkeys,coldplay,elbow,the clash,bob marley,the doors ect ect are you trying to say if someones old they cant like good music? most of the greatest artists of all time were from the 60s and 70s ya fucktard go listen to lady gaga and geez peace :P
I wasn't really a fan of Elbow when I was 'dragged' to see them at V at Chelmsford.
I was blown away by their entrance, throughout and their final piece (this one!). Absolutely brilliant.
V isn't for old people who still think they are cool (you clearly have never been, you tosser) and the vid sums it all up. The sign has condo for sale on both sides, pointing in opposite directions, but he's LOVING his simple and almost pointless job because of what HE DOES WITH IT ! Almost mirroring life !
Dun-bun, DUN-DUN, Dun-Dun, DUN! Imaginative use of octaves lads. And what's that your singing about? Oh yeah - alcoholism and the FUCKING WEATHER. Ever been to Manchester? Highest users of pornography in the UK according to the Observer Sex Uncovered Poll 2008. Elbow are dogshit.
the smiths, the stone roses, oasis, the happy mondays, the hollies, the verve, joy division, new order, james, 10cc, the charlatans, the buzzcocks, the doves, the bee gees....... and they are just bands off the top of my head, no need to mention the abundance of artists, writers and poets you shallow minded pric.
Robert Holly, Sarah is very much in love with you, but she's a bunny boiler, watch out for girls like her, they will end up padlocking your mobile phone and car keys in a safe, so you can't go out ever again. She will demand you stop seeing your mates, and if you work with any women, she will send them threatening letters. You've been warned.
Cos holy cow I love your (beautiful big blue) eyes Mr Robert Holly. Cannot believe I have met the most beautiful, kind, sincere man in my life. x x x x
This song just does not get old. It's amazing and I love it like the first time I heard it every time I do. Musically uplifting and brilliantly arranged, lyrically very very clever and imaginative. Elbow fans should also check out running to stand still, a U2 cover. Maybe the most haunting piece of music i've ever heard. Tissues on stand by for that one!! LOVE these guys
Conominium. Its a form of tenure, like when you have posh flats that are individually owned but the residents are all responsible for the maintenance of the building and grounds.
God - i was leaving my school like forever and i was all fine and driving down the drive then this song came on and i just burst into tears. Like a lame movie ending when some emotional music is playing the background that represents the moment. Way lame - i was crying throughout the song
i love this video ! it shows how even the most boring and mundane job in the world can be made better and can turn a shit day inro a beautiful day. and that kids got skill.
When I listen to the album (which by the way i think is SUPERB) this is the song which lifts your spirits. Not saying the others are morose but this is the essential track which holds all the others in place. The 'glue' if you like.
By the way, I discovered a new british singer songwriter on here called Phoebe Peek, I think she is def going places - mercury prize in no time I reckon!! AND she is only TWELVE!!! lol, how good is she???

Yes, as one man once wrote "Hope I die before I get old" - Roger Daltry of The Who fame.
Clearly you miss quote him on purpose.
However, the MANY, MANY people obviously think that you are a cock, and they are all correct.
I'm not patronising (notice the correct ENGLISH spelling) but you are a twat and you go on and on proving it.
