Elbow - Grounds for Divorce lyrics

Mondays is for drinking to
The seldom seen kid

I’ve been working on a cocktail
Called "Grounds For Divorce"
Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleep
Doubt comes in on sticks
But then he kicks like a horse
There’s a Chinese cigarette case and
The rest you can keep
And the rest you can keep
And the rest you can keep

There’s a hole in my neighbourhood
Down which of late I cannot help but fall
There’s a hole in my neighbourhood
Down which of late I cannot help but fall

Mondays is for drinking to
The seldom seen kid

There’s this whispering of jokers doing
"Flesh by the Pound"
To a chorus of supposes from
The little town hoods
There’ll be twisted karaoke at
The Aniseed Lounge
And I’d bring you further roses but
It does you no good and it does me no good
And it does you no good

There’s a hole in my neighbourhood
Down which of late I cannot help but fall
There’s a hole in my neighbourhood
Down which of late I cannot help but fall
There’s a hole in my neighbourhood
Down which of late I cannot help but fall

Someday we’ll be drinking with
The seldom seen kid
