elbow - head for supplies lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
across the city there’s a golden chill
a rare holding still
as if somebody’s gonna sing
a dip in tempo for the castanet shoes
no blues and twos
as if somebody’s gonna sing
and in the moment hanging on to you
we’re a bundle of clothes and shoes
whatever we could find
you are the reason for this missing beat
on the streets that i love
and in me

[chorus]
now i’m here at your side
we try to rhyme our stride
and head for supplies

[verse 2]
way down inside me was a pilot light
that good friends tended and fed with tiny kindnesses
and there was comfort in a stranger’s bed from time to time
it has to be said it just reminded us
the brief ignition of a hopeful flame but there and then gone
it wasn’t the same and then a rostrum struck
the way you read me like you wrote this book
and chapters along it’s still in your eyes

[chorus]
now i’m here at your side
as though
the street
that meets our feet might know
we try to rhyme our stride
and head for supplies

[verse 3]
across the city there’s a golden chill
a rare holding still
as if somebody’s gonna sing
a dip in tempo for the castanet shoes
no blues and twos
as if somebody’s gonna sing

[bridge]
we glide
we spin
you end and i begin
i made this mess for you
to sift through for all time
you’re glowing from within
beneath an autumn sky
we find our rhyming stride
and head for supplies
