One Day Like This, by Elbow

08May08

Listen here.  No, really, go listen.

Drinking
In the morning sun
Blinking
In the morning sun
Shaking off
The heavy one
Heavy
Like a loaded gun

What made me
Behave that way?
Using words
I never say
I can only think
It must be love
Oh, anyway
It’s looking
Like a beautiful day

Someone tell me
How I feel
It’s silly wrong
But vivid right
Oh, kiss me
Like the final meal
Yeah, kiss me
Like we die tonight

Cause holy cow
I love your eyes
And only now
I see the light
Yeah
Lying with me
Half-awake
Oh, anyway
It’s looking
Like a beautiful day

When my face
Is chamois-creased
If you think
I’ll wink, I did
Laugh politely
At repeats
Yeah, kiss me
When my lips are thin

Cause holy cow
I love your eyes
And only now
I see you like
Yeah, lying with me
Half-awake
Stumbling over
What to say
Well, anyway
It’s looking
Like a beautiful day

So throw
Those curtains wide
One day like this
A year’d see me right

Thanks to Pete for this song.  It’s taken over my whole morning, in the best way.
