16 Elbow - Scattered Black and Whites - Amsterdam's Paradiso 25 June 2

HQ link & lyrics: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=X8tJxWu9RR0&fmt=18
Been climbing trees I've skinned my knees
My hands are black the sun is going down
She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam
She's listening to the dream I weaved today
Crosswords through the bathroom door
While someone sings the theme-tune to the news
And my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air
And that's what triggered this.

I come back here from time to time
I shelter here some days.

A high-back chair. He sits and stares
A thousand yards and whistles
Marching-band (Boom-ching)
Kneeling by and speaking up
He reaches out and I take a
Massive hand. Disjointed tales
That flit between short trousers
And a full dress uniform
And he talks of people ten years
Gone like I've known them all my life
Like scattered black 'n' whites.

I come back here from time to time
I shelter here some days.
I come back here from time to time
I shelter here some days.

@wiganjim this is a remembrance song for me too. Sorry about your Pops. I am cancer survivor for 18 years now. Cancer has taken two of my good friends fathers in the past year. On to better things so beautiful we can't even fathom.

[wiganjim]

This weekend, we say the final goodbye to a man this song speaks of. Cancer took my dad one year ago on the 31st, and we're going to where he loved to fish to scatter his ashes. I'll listen to this with one headphone each with my sister, and sob like a baby, like I always do when I hear this, and think of his massive hands, and his massive love, and his massive heart :)

[amron2006]

where this song finishes, the night will always win continues, mesmerising
