08 Elbow - Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver - Amsterdam's Paradiso 25 June 2008

HQ & Lyrics: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jjp6Z2oLHOE&fmt=18
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

This is my (to date) favorite Elbow track, yes all the others are brilliant..but this one is just, simply, perfect.

these guys are just unreal. Best band making music right now, hands down. The US doesn't know what they aren't noticing.

@Legzakimbo2002 I cant argue with that man. I love this song. They are an amazing band. Astounding infact. I saw the other guy's post abut the US, but there's no band in the world like elbow at the moment.
