Elbow - Neat Little Rows lyrics

rate me

My high priest is folded neatly, back in your box, oh lord

gone the song he sang so sweetly, back in your box, oh lord

Found myself astride a Tiger lifted my head,

Just like he said

Drown me now in down of eider, get me to bed, Oh lord

Lay my bones in the cobblestones

Lay my bones in neat little rows

Lay my bones in the cobblestones

Lay my bones in neat little rows

Angels and idols, spiraling wild, wind in your necks, oh lord

Landed gentry, line up behind me, wind in your necks, oh lord

Smokey progress, backroom sages, let me back in

Put back the pin

Now I've found the torn out pages, can’t read the text, oh lord

Lay my bones in the cobblestones

Lay my bones in neat little rows

Lay my bones in the cobblestones

Lay my bones in neat little rows

In the house where they grew you

There were secrets and mistakes

That the eyes that see through you

Would give anything to erase

But picture them counting your fingers

Waiting for the focus of your eyes

No no don't point fingers

Fingers are for pointing at the sky

No no don't point fingers

Fingers are for pointing at the sky

Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Lay my bones in the cobblestones

Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Lay my bones in neat little rows

Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Lay my bones in the cobblestones

Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Lay my bones in neat little rows
