Magnificent Lyrics - Elbow

This is where, this is where the bottle lands 

Where all the biggest questions meet 

With little feet stood in the sand 

This is where the echoes swell to nothing on the tide 

And where a tiny pair of hands 

Finds a sea-worn piece of glass 

And sets it as a sapphire in her mind 

And there she stands 

Throwing both her arms around the world 

The world that doesn't even know 

How much it needs this little girl

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

It's all gonna be magnificent, she says 

It's all gonna be magnificent 

This is where it all began 

To light your mother's cigarette 

And to go to touch her hand 

And my heart, there there defrosting in a gaze 

Wasn't built to be that way 

Suddenly I understand 

There on the sand 

Throwing both her arms around the world 

The world that doesn't even know 

How much it needs this little girl 

It's all gonna be magnificent, she says 

It's all gonna be magnificent 

It's all gonna be magnificent, she says 

It's all gonna be magnificent 

The echoes slow, the bottle lands 

The echoes slow, and there she stands
