Video for Newborn (album version) by Elbow
There is no video (only audio) from 3:03 til the end.
Lyrics:
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
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
-----end of video-----
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.

Asleep in the back is by far my favorite Elbow album, Scattered black and whites. Gorgeous.
-
7 minutes, 37 seconds of musical genius

@readbtwnlines i would actually say it's the perfect staying in love song, it's unconditional love, love that survives everything even death. I think this is the best way i have heard love explained ever
-
The perfect falling in love song... so touching
-
@arttsepp I agree completely...although I used to love Oasis...after discovering the likes of Elbow and Radiohead...they just seem slightly egghhh. They don't excite me in the way Elbow do...I suppose there's nothing particularly amazing about them whereas Guy Garvey really does has the voice of an angel.
Asleep in the Back is definitley my favourite album...i'm suprised your friend hasn't taken to it yet...it seemed to be the easiest of their albums to get into for me.

@MelPullThePin , Definitely (not maybe) better than Oasis, although I like Oasis as well and these are completely different bands and not really comparable in that way, but at the end of the day I would choose Elbow record with me to an island. Elbow is far more creative and original and hugely underrated band. I recently introduced my friend deeper into Elbow and he's beginning to love it. He didn't although like asleep album (not just yet!) thinking it was too experimental. My favourite album.

Elbow are by far the greatest band to come out of manchester since The Smiths. And before anyone says it; no, I didn't forget about Oasis and yes, I still think Elbow are better :)
