Elbow - Some Riot lyrics
[Elbow - Some Riot lyrics]
A friend of mine grows his very own brambles
They twist all around him 'til he can't move
Beautiful, quivering, chivalrous shambles
What is my friend trying to prove?
The booze turns a tall gentle
Boy to a terrible totem
And the kids gather 'round trying
To see what's inside
I think when he's drinking
He's drowning some riot
What is my friend trying to hide?
Cause it's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart
And it's breaking my heart to
Pull on the reigns
Brother of mine, don't run with those fuckers
When will my friend start singing again?
When will my friend start singing again?
They twist all around him 'til he can't move
Beautiful, quivering, chivalrous shambles
What is my friend trying to prove?
The booze turns a tall gentle
Boy to a terrible totem
And the kids gather 'round trying
To see what's inside
I think when he's drinking
He's drowning some riot
What is my friend trying to hide?
Cause it's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart
And it's breaking my heart to
Pull on the reigns
Brother of mine, don't run with those fuckers
When will my friend start singing again?
When will my friend start singing again?
