Tilnefning nr. 49 - Guðjón

Switching off - Elbow[2003]

Frábært lag með magnaðri hljómsveit – það mun örugglega koma fleiri lög með þeim á síðuna. Tók fyrst eftir þeim 2006 á tónleikum í Laugardalshöllinni, þar sem þeir gersamlega stálu senunni frá Badly Drawn Boy og Echo and the Bunnymen.

Heimasíða Elbow


Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
And a final scene unfolds inside
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
Is a part replayed from a perfect day
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
Love's first blush

Chorus
Is this making sense?
What am I trying to say?
Early evening June
This room and a radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final thoughts today
Switching off with you

All the clocks give in
And the traffic fades
And the insects like a neon choir
The instant fizz
Connection made
And the curtains sigh
In time
With you

Chorus 2
You, the only sense the world has ever made
Early evening June
This room and radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final scene today
Switching off

Ran to ground for a while there
But I came off pretty well

Chorus 3
You, the only sense the world has ever made
This I need to save
A simple trinket locked away
I choose my final scene today
Switching off with you
