Tilnefning nr. 264 - Guðjón

Switching off - Elbow[2003]
Enn og aftur vil ég tilnefna lag með Elbow -  núna er það Switching off
Kom út 2003 á Cast of Thousands

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

Athyglisverðar pælingar á textanum:

guy said in an interview that its based on the theory that when you die you can see your whole life flash before your eyes, this song takes it one step further in the fact that if you have a really good memory of something then you can choose that as the last thing you see before you die...your final scene
