    The song that got me REALLY into Elbow - back in 06, which wasnt a bad year for music to be fair. The World cup and the hot summer... Gorillaz, Kasabian, Primal Scream, even the Kooks were somewhat bearable when the sun was out! There was even some good dance music knocking about! lol.
    Glad Elbow won the mecury and mainstream success with seldom seen kid. They deserve it, Guy Garvey is an amazing writer.

    Lyrics:
    I’m sick of working for a living
    I’m just ticking off the days ‘til I die
    I miss you Louise
    And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth
    Periscope up
    I’ve been looking for a ladder
    I need to see the Commander in Chief
    And remind him what was passed onto me
    Your mum don’t sleep
    The friends you keep
    I didn’t raise a thief
    But the leaders of the free world
    Are just little boys throwing stones
    And it’s easy to ignore ‘til they’re knocking on the door of your homes
    My thinking isn’t driven
    But the music always gives me a lift
    I’m so easy to please
    But I think we dropped the baton like the 60’s didn’t happen. Oh no.
    Periscope up
    Should be looking for a ladder
    I need to see the Commander in Chief
    And remind him what was passed onto me
    Your mum don’t sleep
    The friends you keep
    I didn’t raise a thief
    Passing the gun from father to feckless son
    We’re climbing a landslide where only the good die young

      This song is proof that Elbow are able and can make excellent music, but I believe this one song doesn't prove that an entire nation is the best world :D
      We also have som excellent musicians and song writers in my country (Norway), but I bet most of the other nations in the world only know about the band "a-ha" (they had a world wide hit with the song 'Take on me' in case you needed some extra info ;-) )
      'Leaders of the free world' was the song that got me into Elbow, and is one of the songs that I don't think I am able to get tired of!!

    We only have one shot. It is just improbable, not impossible. If you asked why humans were fighting one another then you also get it, even now. We are past eras where it was needed. They all died for us to be here, and I doubt it was to continue those wars. Humans, no matter where you are in this world, use your strength to accept one anothers differences and help one another for the betterment of humanity, so that you too can become better as well, from it. Do not change your individuality, but do not hate others. Facts cannot be desputed, and the only one we need, is that we can overcome anything if we put our minds to it. So let's start. They've been begging for years before us, so lets begin. Humanity for all.
