Some Riot - Elbow

The Seldom Seen Kid [2008]

Lyrics -

A friend of mine grows his very own brambles
They twist all around him 'til he can't move
Beautiful, quivering, chivalrous shambles
What is my friend trying to prove?

The booze turns a tall, gentle boy to a terrible totem
And the kids gather round trying to see what's inside
I think when he's drinking he's drowning some riot
What is my friend trying to hide?
Cause it's breaking my heart, it's breaking my heart
And it's breaking my heart to pour like the rain
Brother of mine, don't run with those fuckers
When will my friend start singing again?
When will my friend start singing again?

  • This is easily one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. The melody is so bittersweet and melancholy, and the lyrics are nothing short of inspired.

  • Why only 611 views? This is one of my favourite songs on the album. Comes second only to Loneliness of a tower crane driver.
