Head For Supplies Lyrics - Elbow

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Now I'm here at your side 

We try to rhyme our stride 

And head for supplies 

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 

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 

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 

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
