Elbow - An Audience With The Pope

Elbow是今年水星音樂大獎的得主

他們的新專輯seldom seen kid打敗了電台司令以及許多有名的專輯

而這首歌是最讓我亮眼的一首

 

優雅哀傷又復古

似乎有一段老舊的回憶在這首歌裡

一段深陷其中的愛情故事

 

Sweet Jesus I'm on fire

She has the sweetest, darkest eyes

And when it comes into her eyes

I know iron and steel couldn't hold me

But god I'm easy bruised

But so often a moth to her flame

And the things that she's asked me to do

Would see a senior saint

forgetting his name



I have an audience with the pope

And I'm saving the world at 8

But if she says she needs me, she says she needs me

Everybody's gonna have to wait



Where could she be?

Was that a minute or an hour?

Where could she be?

She turns the hours into days.



Kill me phone, cover the cage

And wait for the doorbell to ring



Where could she be?

No she won't come running

Where could she be?

The world is turning at her pace.



Kill me phone, cover the cage

And wait for the doorbell to ring



I have an audience with the pope

And I'm saving the world at 8

But if she says she needs me, she says she needs me

Everybody's gonna have to wait
