Elbow and the BBC Concert Orchestra performing Starlings


How dare the Premier ignore my invitations?
He'll have to go
So, too, the bunch he luncheons with
It's second on my list of things to do

At the top Is stopping by
Your place of work and acting like
I haven't dreamed of you and I
And marriage in an orange grove
You are the only thing in any room you're ever in
I'm stubborn, selfish and too old.

I sat you down and told you how
the truest love that's ever found
was for oneself
You pulled apart my theory
With a weary and disinterested sigh

So yes I guess I'm asking you
To back a horse that's good for glue
And nothing else
But find a man that's truer than,
Find a man that needs you more than I

Sit with me a while
And let me listen to you talk about
your dreams and your obsessions
I'll be quiet and confessional
The violets explode inside me
when I meet your eyes
Then I'm spinning and I'm diving
Like a cloud of starlings

Darling is this love?

    This is beautiful but I still find the guy at 1:38 kind of hilarious ... how serious he is about pushing that one key.

    I assume they meant it was really shit, in reference to the 360p resolution.

    I feel sorry for you :) The man who introduced me to Elbow will soon be my husband (I am a 55 year old widow). Don't give up, life surprises you from the most unexpected places :)

    Pop music combined with classical is the most enjoyable to me. Hello Jane, do you think the drummer (the beautiful bald one with the great blonde-red beard will marry me? I believe in dreams come true!!! I am a photo journalist, and maybe can find my way in to shoot them.?
