Elbow - What Time Do You Call This? lyrics

What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?

What time do you call this?
I've been craning, bewildered all my days
To now find your face
Shining out of the crowd

Love was just a word
That friends didn't mention
Cause love was just a joke
Till it battered me senseless

Ohh, shrink with me, tower with me
Wither with me, flower with me
Endlessly follow me
Chew me up and swallow me

Stay at least for now with me
Drink and dance and row with me
Tell me when I go too far
Stay precisely where you are

(What time do you call this?)
Call me out on all my lies
Hold my ticker with those eyes
(What time do you call this?)
Weather every winter while
Check my spelling, ring my bell
(What time do you call this?)
Don't expect tender sex
Check my spelling, ring my neck
(What time do you call this?)
Separate me from my breath
Kiss me nearly half to death, ohh
(What time do you call this?)

What time do you call this?
[repeat till end]
