Leaders of the Free World




The 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.

Lyrics from the Leaders of the Free World

I’m sick of working for a living

I’m 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

I’ve been looking for a ladder

I need to see THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF

And remind him what was passed onto me


Your mum don’t sleep!

The friends you keep!

I didn’t raise a thief!


But the LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD 

Are just little boys throwing stones

And its easy to ignore ‘til they’re knocking on the door of your homes


My thinking isn’t driven

But the music always gives me a lift

I’m so easy to please 

But I think we dropped the baton like the 60’s didn’t 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 don’t sleep!

The friends you keep!

I didn’t raise a thief!


Passing the gun from Father to FECKLESS son

We’re 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 don’t 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
