already known this)

Further Lyrics (taken from www.elbow.co.uk):
2nd Verse:
‘I’m tired’ I said
‘You always look tired’ she said
‘I’m admired’ I said
‘You always look tired’ she said
Not ‘til I can read by the moon
Am I going anywhere
Not ‘til I can read by the moon
Repeat Chorus
3rd Verse:
Curtains stay closed
But everyone knows
You hear through the walls in this place
Cigarette holes for every lost soul
To give up the ghost in this place
Give me strength
Give me wings
Repeat Chorus
Fade out
