Elbow - Lippy Kids Lyrics

masterpiece

I love you!

What an incredibly pure voice. Love this

This is my all time favourite music video! The space and sound are amazing. Love Garvey’s ES-335 chops!

You hear if a singer is good when singing quietly

That moment when he switches from the keyboards to the piano almost at the end, is pure bliss. Is like going into Heaven

i love you xx

ich bekomme ne verdammte Gänsehaut in der Vorfreude was ich hören werde - nicht nur bei diesem Song von Elbow

9 years ago!!!!!

Beautiful song 💕

Fucking excellent

somewhere between peter gabriel and arcade firee

Love the bit of tape at the beginning :)

ugh I love this band and their songs so much

Fun fact I do plumbing at blueprint studios. Lucky me eh.

One of the most underrated bands

He is a genuinely beautiful singer.

how are they that good live wow

I wish I was as musically competent as that piece of tape.

Song reminds me of my last day of primary school
It was playing with a montage of photos of us at the school
It makes me sad x😀😄😅😥😢😪😭

Welcome back dude

If anyone wonders what that “simian stroll” is, just watch Liam Gallagher’s swagger (though Liam stole it from Ian Brown of the Stone Roses).

Très beau

And what does simian stroll mean?

Song of the century

I wish to hear a song from Peter Gabriel from him...!!!!

Okay, I love Elbow, and I love this song. but what in the hell is a 'lippy kid'?

McCall Cruse a kid who gives you lip. Or a kid who is cheeky, mouthy or disrespectful. A lippy kid ha

This reminds me of the last price of music in episode 6 of star wars

brilliant!

🎼one of the best (LIVE) Bands on the Planet... Elbow… and the great voice of Guy Garvey

speechless.

...aaaaand it's 1977 again. Kerbstone cool... cigarette senate...hour long hungry kisses. Oh man I miss those days.

Very nice !

2010 . My god life speeds by, but this track is timeless. A classic song.

This rates along side things like Switching Off, Bones of You and Scattered Black And Whites for me.

Build a rocket boys stop stabbing each other use that beautiful brain you were given

This reminds me of my youth. Makes me think of my boys and I hope they build a rocket.

Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin settling like crows
And I never perfected that simian stroll
But the cigarette scent, it was everything then

Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!

One long June I came down from the trees
And cursed on cue
You were freshly painted angel walking on walls
Stealing booze and outlawing hungry kisses

Nobody knew me at home anymore
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!

Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin settling like crows
And I never effected that simian stroll, no

Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!

One long June I came down from the trees
and cursed on cue
you were freshly painted angel walking on walls
stealing booze and outlawing hungry kisses

And nobody knows me at home anymore
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!

Beautiful piece of music . It just brought tears to my eyes . Bless

Such a beautiful band of genius !

How could 308 people give a thumbs down to this

Brasil 2019....alguém??

now that's what I call music...…

Build a rocket for?

painting with music!  great song!

Still brings tears to my eyes after all these years.

The similarities to the 1st century music in the link below is fascinating.

I’m a middle school teacher (2018). Students ask me if they can eat lunch in my classroom. I teach in an inner city Washington DC school. This is a standard that I play during lunch. Rough and tough kids will eat in silence while listening to this song. Even though I don’t ask them to be quiet. Thank you, Elbow. This song is magic.

Th sorrow, the joy and the pain in one voice.

Cmonnnnnnn!!!! :) ....never gets old!!!!!

This has a lot of meaning in my life xxxxxx I love you edel and our angel xxxxxx please let me make it up xxxxxx before Christmas xxx ❤️❤️

A year later 💔

Peter Gabriel's voice sound alike

I STILL get chills whenever I hear that intro.... a criminally underrated band.

Elbow is far too special to ever be mainstream at least in America. Scattered Black and Whites still hits me like a ton of bricks. Thank you boys, Thank you!

Build a rocket boys do something amaising stop stabbing each other I get what he's trying to say

Sublime.

Do I only see that his vocal and way he sings is very similar to Peter Gabriel?
Anyway, it is so beatiful.

I might play this when/if I can build enough "courage" to k*ll myself...

What a class band. Pure

peter gabriel; anyone?

I am trying to think of any track better than this, I can't, this is social culture bound up in in 6 minutes of brilliance. Thanks Elbow

Sin_igual encantador!

great song, I thought at first listening it was Peter Gabriel.

Nothing is more perfect

HOW does he sound exactly like the studio version. voice of an angel

Personally I'd truck the wee sods out to Ordsall, come home to a real fire....buy a flat in Langworthy.

Always been a fan of Guy G and the lads ever since Delamere Forest gig. Not sure about the thinking behind this track though? A Hymnal to wee scrotes? wtf? P.S. You got that bike fixed yet?

Garv is by no doubt the best male vocal artist this gen has had . Love the bones of the man ... 😍

no engagement in 2 monthes just fan boys and haters . I am officiallly as dul l as my wife says i am. Oh well

I think youve missed the point of this song and dont even know what lippy kids are. Do you know what it means to "perfect the simian stroll"? It means to walk with confidance not like a victim when youre down the Co op buying booze on a Friday. Ive already touched on this . Im either boring or right, coz no reply either positive or negative. My missus would say youre boring fuck off to bed wilo you . lol

I love this tune by the way,

정말 좋아하는 음악과 영상. 한국에 와줘요~!ㅠ

True musicians genius !!!!!!!!

stunning.

the older we become the more relevant this song becomes!

its cold in my room, but hearing this song my armhair raises! epic master lvl over 9000

you ever had to perfect that simeon stroll down at the offy at 10 30 so youre not a victim?

As a frontman Garvey has all the charisma of a potato plus he looks like one as well. Overall the band are so mawkish and anodyne they make Coldplay sound like The Clash.

Said by the shallow person who isn't worth the effort to get to know.

I like the dude's sly little smile at 5:06 .. like "Damn.. this is going nice."

Deservedly so... it took them a bloody long time to achieve success.

gaffer tape on the keys .. thought that was my idea :)

Hes More punk than people realise," I never perfected that simian stroll," thats how you walk outside the offy when you dont want to be a victim, he sees it and he has perfected it. There all just your children, like we where, gobbing outside the arcade and stealing booze. He is no victim. Kudos to the man. I know how to do the off license strut. it is a thing. My boy is 12 and i wonder if hes going to be a lippy kid. Poetry there from your man x

Sorry to bang on but i was at the offy earlier, all the rude boys where outside playing some top tunes on there device, i wanted to check there tunes out, but i jelled and fucked off home with my beer. I should of checked them out and mellded with them.....but i didnt. There you go. were all to blame for the disconnect that we are living in. Dont expect a reply the last one was 2 years old. Peace x

Makes me cry it’s perfection build a rocket boys reach for the stars 🌟 fabulous 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕

When you want to singalong but decide you don’t want to interrupt a beautiful voice

Its exactly this way live also what a fantastic tune by a fantastic manchester band !

Just thought Iwould remind .

The voice of this guy, IT'S JUST EXCEPTIONAL! I can hear elbow music all day! Love it!

What an amazing song from an amazing band and voice

I’m 16 and have only ever heard this song when my parents are playing it but I feel an intense nostalgia and want to be back to these “good old times”. I’m going through a really fuckin rough patch right now and am suffering from Derealization and severe anxiety but listening to real music with real passion behind it really gives me strength to keep going and get better. I sometimes feel embarrassed to like this music because people my age like shitty donk and edm so the is kinda a safe space for me to connect with anyone at any age or background.

Elbow has been my favorite group for several years. Most beautiful lead, great lyrics and the melodies are gorgeous. What a gift they are to the music loving public. Thanks for this upload!💖

Love this song ❤️ so melodic

what can I say? this is so beautiful and speaking as a 1st generation 61 year old Beatles nut I know what I'm talking about. Haunts me senseless. WELL DONE!

Beautiful memories build a rocket boys!

Just discovered them... awesome

veramente bravi qualsiasi lirica!!!bravi!

Saw them at sherwood pines and was disappointed as they mostly played new stuff, love the old stuff though.

A silver memory bullet straight between the eyes. Literally, my experience in song. Breaks me every time. Thanks.

In my view masters of there craft utterley brilliant !!

Great voice, passionate and real
