Elbow - Nationwide Mercury Music Prize 2008 - Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver

HQ & Lyrics: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UblyuFHaSbk&fmt=18
Elbow's Flawless rendition of their own 'Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver' Superb..


Gotta get out of TV
Just pick a point and go
The ticker-tape tangles my feet
As I search for a face that I know
Come on, tower crane driver
There's not so far to go

I must have been working the ropes
When your hand slipped from mine
Now I live off the mirrors and smoke
It's a joke, a fix, a lie
Come on, tower crane driver
Oh so far to fall

Send up a prayer in my name
Just the same
They say I'm on top of my game
Dwindle gentle rose
Send up a prayer in my name

Easily the best live band I have ever seen.... Wolverhampton 2009 and so deserving of a bigger venue. THEY should be filling out the NIA not Lady bloody Gaga. But twas ever so in music!

Elbow is perfect in everyway; all their songs are masterpieces.
