Elbow Glastonbury

Contains some strong language and scenes of

Now, a band I think we can regard as homecoming heroes. Even though it is

not their home! Guy Garvey earlier on and admitted to feeling nervous

about today, and I do not know why. It seems to me that the music of

Elbow, with its epic quality and stately tempo chimes with the arena

in front of the Pyramid Stage absolutely perfectly. When you add

in the undoubted charm of Guy, seems to me that Elbow are a band who

simply cannot fail. That is the way it seems to me, anyway. On the

Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2014, Elbow.

# # Glory be.

# And glory be these lockers are ignoring me

# I am a preacher when I've got it on me

# And glory be these lockers are ignoring me

# I am the beau who loved her so in every song

# And I designed that little mystery on your tongue

# I've broken jaws protecting laws to keep you free

# I made your day so take a seat by me

# I am an old tree Gonna talk my jaw free

# Another night beside myself would finish me

# I am the diehard with an empty dance card

# Upon the troubled rising tide inside of me

# I am the beau who loved her so in every song

# And I designed that little mystery on your tongue

# I've broken jaws protecting laws to keep you free

# I made your day so take a seat by me

# I am the beau who loved her so in every song

# And I designed that little mystery on your tongue

# I've broken jaws protecting laws to keep you free

# I made your day so take a seat by me. #

Good evening, everyone! Everybody OK? Everybody see clearly now the

rain has gone? I doubt that very much, Glastonbury. Beautiful. Let's

see your hands, everyone, # Charging around

with a juggernaut brow # Overdraft speeches

and deadlines to make # Cramming commitments

like cats in a sack # Telephone burn

and a purposeful gait # When out of a doorway

the tentacles stretch # Of a song that I know

And the world moves in slow-mo # Straight to my head like the first

cigarette of the day # And it's you, and it's May

And we're sleeping through the day # And I'm five years ago

and three thousand miles away # Do I have time?

A man of my calibre? # Stood in the street

like a sleepwalking teenager? # No

And I dealt with this years ago # But image on image like beads

on a rosary pull through my head # As the music takes hold

And the sickener hits # I can work till I break

but I love the bones of you # And it's you, and it's May

And we're sleeping through the day # And I'm five years ago

and three thousand miles away # And I can't move my arm

for fear that you will awake # And I'm five years ago

and three thousand miles away. # # And I'm five years ago

and three thousand miles away Everybody OK? Anybody that's not OK

down here at the front? No, you are pretending to be not OK? OK. Well,

these handsome ladies and gentlemen will help you out with water and

things if you need it. Sorry to give you a job there! OK, everyone. This

is another new one. together while we can together.

Good, all the fans. Look at this. # Somewhere in all that talk

is all the answers # And oh my giddy aunt

New York can talk # It's the modern Rome

and folk are nice to Yoko # Every painted line

and battered ladder # Me, I see a city

and I hear a million voices # Planning, drilling, welding,

carrying their fingers to the nub # Reaching down into the ground,

stretching up into the sky # They did and do

so you and I could live together # Somewhere in all that talk

is all the answers # And it feels like there's

a big one 'round the corner # Somewhere in all that talk

is all the answers # And it feels like there's

a big one 'round the corner # Somewhere in all that talk

is all the answers # And it feels like there's

a big one 'round the corner # The desire

in the patchwork symphony # Cos it feels like there's

a big one 'round the corner # The desire

in the patchwork symphony # Cos it feels like there's

a big one 'round the corner # But the way it ends

depends on if you're home # For every soul a pillow

and a window please # In the modern Rome

where folk are nice to Yoko. # Look how beautiful you are in the

evening sun. You gorgeous creatures! Everybody, show me what you can do

to this one now. I haven't worked out my dance. So I'm going to be

taking tips from the audience. I like this, ladies. That's

interesting, sir. Oh, this guy is going old school. Come on.

# So out of reach and hollowed through

# Blue and white, the light and sound surrounding

# The peace that you'll feel's real life

# Go straight to the place where you first lost your balance

# And find your feet with the people that you love

# And bring us in an indigo dawn with the lovelorn and renegade

# Yes, you with the eyes ever met not forgotten

# Get hold of the night that rises in your blood

# Focus on your pulse, focus on your breath

# So out of reach and hollowed through

# Blue and white, the light and sound surrounding

# The peace that you'll feel's real life

# You with the eyes ever met not forgotten

# You with the arms for the lonely whoever

# You with the laugh that could bring down a tenement

# Talking your way to the heart of the citadel

# Up on the tables or shouldering strangers

# Or under my arm as we add to the waterfall

# My little sister with brothers in common

# You never need fear a thing in this world

# While I have a breath in me Blood in my veins

# You never need fear a thing in this world

# While I have a breath in me Blood in my veins

# You never need fear a thing in this blue world

# So out of reach and hollowed through

# Blue and white, the light and sound surrounding

# The peace that you'll feel's real life

Cheers, Glastonbury! You look amazing from here! So, the guy at

home that didn't get a ticket and then got all PC about it... It's

going to rain anyway! Well, let's raise a toast to him on his sofa!

Cheers, everybody! OK... # The birds are the keepers

of our secret # The birds, though I wore your

glacial patience # The birds are the keepers

of our secret This one is for you lot. It is about

drinking with your friends. Anybody drinking with their friends?

# We're plummeting like crippled crows

# Oh, long before you and I were born

# Others beat these benches with their empty cups

# Another sunrise with my sad captains

# And if it's so we only pass this way but once

# Oh, long before you and I were born

# Others beat these benches with their empty cups

# Another sunrise with my sad captains

# Another sunrise with my sad captains

# And if it's so we only pass this way but once

# Another sunrise with my sad captains

# And if it's so we only pass this way but once

Cheers, Glastonbury, particularly this gentleman who has taken the

trouble to dress as an actual captain, just for that song. And who

does not look particularly sad! This one is dedicated to every single one

of you in this beautiful, wonderful place.

# Though I never perfected the simian stroll

# The cigarette senate was everything then

# Do they know those days are golden?

# One long June I came down from the trees

# Stealing booze and hour-long hungry kisses

# And nobody knew me at home any more

# And I never affected that simian stroll

# Do they know those days are golden?

# One long June I came down from the trees

# Stealing booze and hour-long hungry kisses

# And nobody knows me at home any more

You are a remarkable bunch of human beings, Glastonbury! The sun has

Manchester. It has been a great pleasure to play for you again. One

more order of business, Glastonbury, if you are in the

mood. Let me see your hands right to the back of the field.

This is where you prove your prowess as the best festival audience on

We're frigid. Nothing was more natural to me

in the world
