My Sad Captains
Elbow

I'm running out of miracles

(Oh my soul)

And the streets alive with one man shows

(Oh my soul)

The corner boys were moved along

(Oh my soul)

We're plummeting like crippled crows

(Oh my soul)


Oh long before you and I were born

Others beat these benches with their empty cups

To the night and its stars to be here and now and who we are

Another sunrise with my sad captains

With who I choose to lose my mind

And if its so we only pass this way but once

What a perfect waste of time


The BMX apothecary

(Oh my soul)

The architect of infamy

(Oh my soul)

For each and every train we missed

(Oh my soul)

The bitter little Eucharist


(Oh my soul)


Oh long before you and I were born

Others beat these benches with their empty cups

To the night and its stars to the here and now and who we are

Another sunrise with my sad captains

With who I choose to lose my mind

And if its so we only pass this way but once

What a perfect waste of time


Another sunrise with my sad captains

With who I choose to lose my mind

And if its so we only pass this way but once

What a perfect waste of time


Another sunrise with my sad captains

With who I choose to lose my mind

And if its so we only pass this way but once

What a perfect waste of time


What a perfect waste of time
