Elbow - One Day Like This

Caught this track on the radio on the way home tonight and it is ACE - listen and enjoy. It does take a minute or so to pick up but it is very very good

Lyrics:

Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun
Shaking off the heavy one
Heavy like a loaded gun

What made me behave that way?
Using words I never say
I can only think it must be love
Oh, anyway it's looking like a beautiful day

Someone tell me how I feel
It's silly wrong but vivid right
Oh, kiss me like the final meal
Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight

Cause holy cow I love your eyes
And only now I see the light
Yeah lying with me half-awake
Oh, anyway
It's looking like a beautiful day

When my face is chamois-creased
If you think I'll wink, I did
Laugh politely at repeats
Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin

Cause holy cow I love your eyes
And only now I see you like
Yeah, lying with me half-awake
Stumbling over what to say

Well, anyway it's looking like a beautiful day

So throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year'd see me right€
