Elbow - McGreggor lyrics

There was lying at the table
Crying on the stairs a raven on the gable
Singing "Jesus doesn't care"
A woman at the window with
Her hands on her hips
Staring out across the ocean like
The prow of a ship
No blinking or emotion like the
Prow of a ship
Just endeavour and devotion like the
Prow of a ship

Ah ooh, rest in your bed
Ooh ooh, McGreggor's dead

The kids are in the kitchen
Carving up the will
While the long line of limousines
Snake down the hill
They'll keep 'em waiting
They're shaking hands
With the prodigal and pompous
Who knew the man
Father figures and motherfuckers who
Knew the man god's torment at the party as
If God knew the man ah ooh, rest in your bed
Ooh ooh, McGreggor's dead

Recall his lies pick up the pen
Record his reign
For the bitch who bore him is in heat again
