grounds for divorce

elbowun the seldom seen kid albümündeki en dikkat çeken şarkıdır. mükemmel bir coşkuya sahiptir ve oldukça orjinaldir.. şu günlerde house md 6. sezon promosunda kullanılmasıyla dikkatleri çekmiştir*. ve tabiki sözleri:

i've been working on a cocktail called 'grounds for divorce'
whoah
polishing a compass that i hold in my sleeve
whoah
down comes him on sticks but then he kicks like a horse
whoah
there's a chinese cigarette case and the rest you can keep
and the rest you can keep
and the rest you can keep

there's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late i cannot help but fall
there's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late i cannot help but fall

mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

there's this whispering of jokers doing flesh by the pound
to a chorus of supporters from the little town halls
there'll be twisted karaoke at the aniseed lounge
and i'll bring you further roses but it does you no good
and it does me no good
and it does you no good

there's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late i cannot help but fall
there's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late i cannot help but fall
there's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late i cannot help but fall
there's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late i cannot help but fall

someday we'll be drinking with the seldom seen kid.

'adamın ağzına sıçan şarkılar' listesinin şu aralar bana göre bir numarası, uzun sürede öyle kalacak gibi gözüküyor. müthiş bir klibi vardır.

bbc orchestrası ile söylenmiş versiyonu da tadından yenmez.

gayet oturaklı bir havası olmasına rağmen arızalı bakışlar atma isteği uyandıran, hangi ortamda dinlenirse dinlensin filmde yaşıyormuş hissi veren elbow şarkısıdır. sevilir.
