Elbow - One Day Like This 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!

Heard the song “Starlings” from the “Seldom Seen Kid” album which was played over our National radio station here in New Zealand last week….Loved it.
Ducked down to “Real Groovy” and ordered album .. picked up today and can`t stop playing “One Day Like This” (and all the rest).
Now can`t live without my Elbow.
P.S. scared to ask but who is Bryan??? (For Bryan with all our love)

My daughter and her fiance have chosen this as their first dance at their wedding in September. I hope I can refrain from sobbing as I LOVE this tune!….and I am aquainted with the Potter boys’ mum! Wish we could have them play AT the wedding!! Good luck to them as they are so unassuming and genuine!
