Elbow - Firebrand & Angel Lyrics






North Star
Rolling round the heavens and watching me pine
The whole night through
When we were together the terror sublime
Would turn me blue
When you're in her mirror you don't even know
Your own green eyes
Fella interstellar I'm broken in two
And I blame you

North star giz a little sprinkle of heavenly dust
I just need sane
Wishing on you got me a hatful of rain
And three lost years
When you're in her mirror you don't even feel
The tears that fall
Fella interstellar I'm miles from home
The blame is yours
Blame you, blame you

Hey there
Woke up on a curbstone as high as a sofa
Dopey and hopeless
Hey there
Show me to the corner of firebrand and angel
Open a place and I'll
Stay there
One day in a whirlwind she'll call for a late one
Stay for a lifetime
Meantime
My best friend never-ending forgets all my stories
And lies of my glories

Hey there
Woke up on a curbstone as high as a sofa
Dopey and hopeless
Hey there
Show me to the corner of firebrand and angel
Open a place and I'll
Stay there
One day in a whirlwind she'll call for a late one
Stay for a lifetime
Meantime
My best friend never-ending forgets all my stories
And lies of my glories

Hey there
Woke up on a curbstone as high as a sofa
Dopey and hopeless
Hey there
Show me to the corner of firebrand and angel
Open a place and I'll
Stay there
One day in a whirlwind she'll call for a late one
Stay for a lifetime
Meantime
My best friend never-ending forgets all my stories
And lies of my glories

Hey there
Woke up on a curbstone as high as a sofa
Dopey and hopeless
Hey there
Show me to the corner of firebrand and angel
Open a place and I'll
Stay there
One day in a whirlwind she'll call for a late one
Stay for a lifetime
Meantime
My best friend never-ending forgets all my stories
And lies of my glories
So then

  1. C.... D....

    Refreshing and hopeful.

  2. m.... ....

    This song is so kinetic. The momentum just keeps building. Awesome.

  3. T.... ....

    This piece is so utterly hypnotizing, like some kind of mantra in which your ears and soul can be bathed in.

  4. J.... K....

    Thats so goddamn well produced. Holy.

  5. S.... C....

    I'm really hoping that I get to see them live when they come to Chicago, or at least sometime before I die. They are an absolutely brilliant group and severely underrated in my opinion. Their music makes me feel things that I never knew existed, and I hope they will continue to make music because they are aging like a very, very, very fine wine.

    Shaelyn Cunningham I’m from Manchester and had the pleasure of meeting guy a couple of years back I was with my mum and he was an absolute gentleman

    I've been fortunate enough to see Elbow many, many times and I can honestly say that they've been some of the best times of my life - I consider myself lucky to be alive at the same time as one of the greatest poets and lyricists ever (Garvey)! My advice to you, Shaelyn, is to save up your dough and go and see them wherever they play next - life's too short not to! Elbow - the soundtrack to my life!

    S.... C....

    Laurence Fegan I’ve bought tickets to go see them - for the first time ever- in November in Cologne! I can’t even explain how happy I was when I knew I got the tickets! 🥳

  6. R.... G....

    The new gold standard for indie music. Exceptional production.

  7. A.... S....

    Less than 5K views? #nofuckingway #toogoodforyoutube

    A.... S....

    A.K. Shrey i tell myself it's because everyone went and bought the album instead

    A.... S....

  8. o.... ....

    Who gave this a thumbs down? The highlight of this album for me.

  9. P.... ....
