Posted at 11:27 PM Sunday - August 26, 2007Leaders of the Free WorldThe Elbow music group from UK fantastic and new discovery for me, I can warmly recommend it to any indie pop lover. Elbow combine indie sensibilities with a penchant for woozy dreamscapes, cynical romanticism and self-deprecating wit. Really the top class. Elbow – Leaders of the Free World Or sream Elbow music to your iTunes or mp3 player on your computer Lyrics from the Leaders of the Free World Im sick of working for a living Im just ticking off the days till I die I miss you Louise And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth Periscope up Ive been looking for a ladder I need to see THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF And remind him what was passed onto me Your mum dont sleep! The friends you keep! I didnt raise a thief! But the LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD Are just little boys throwing stones And its easy to ignore til theyre knocking on the door of your homes My thinking isnt driven But the music always gives me a lift Im so easy to please But I think we dropped the baton like the 60s didnt happen. Oh no. Periscope up Should be looking for a ladder I need to se THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF And remind him what was passed onto me Your mum dont sleep! The friends you keep! I didnt raise a thief! Passing the gun from Father to FECKLESS son Were climbing a landslide where only the good die young An Imagined Affair A sky as black as regret is rolling aside for the blue Impossible face to forget These feelings belong in a zoo She brings the morning She brings the morning sun So lost in the sound of her voice I don,t even hear the words When she says come on get out The past will find us out Come on get out please And dont breathe a word She brings the morning She brings the morning sun But all this an imagined affair While sitting in a bar spilling in a bar I drink until the doorman is a Christmas tree And my speech is just a gas leak
