Biography

elbow (official capitalization) is an alternative rock band from, Bury, Greater Manchester, England. Formed in 1990, originally called Mr. Soft (later shortened to Soft) and comprised of guitarist and back up vocalist Mark Potter, bassist Pete Turner and drummer Richard Jupp. Vocalist, guitarist and lyricist Guy Garvey was asked by Mark to join the band when they met at college (both were 16 at the time). Mark's brother keyboardist and back up vocalist Craig Potter joined soon afterwards. They changed their name to "elbow" in 1997 after Guy heard a character from a BBC TV Drama "The Singing Detective" say that the word "elbow" is the most sensual word in the English language, not for its definition, but for how it feels to say and how it looks on the page. They were also signed by [a=Island Records] in 1997, but due to a takeover and indie band jettison-attitude by [l=Universal] in 1998, their [a=Steve Osborne] produced debut album was scrapped. Only a self-issued (now) ultra rare E.P. and a compilation appearance of one of the songs document this period. In 2000 they put out their first release proper, an E.P. on a small indie label [l=Ugly Man Records] before they were eventually signed to Richard Branson's [l=V2] in 2001. Winner of the 2008 Mercury Prize (for best British album) for [i]The Seldom Seen Kid[/i]. Drummer Richard Jupp left the band of his own choice to pursue drum tutoring in 2016.

LYRICS

The first to pour a simple truth in words
Binds the world in a feeling all familiar
'Cause everybody owns the greats ideas
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
A tenner, up and out into New York
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
And oh, my giddy aunt, New York can talk
It's the modern road where folk are nice to Yoko

Every bone of rivet steel, each corner stone an anchor
Jenga jutts and rusty water tower, pillar posted sign
Every painted lining battered like a building in this town
Sings a life of proud endeavor and the best that man can be

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
Why?
Because they can, they didn't do so you and I could live together

Oh my god, New York can talk
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Everybody owns the greats ideas
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner

Oh my god, New York can talk
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Everybody owns the greats ideas
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner

Oh my god, New York can talk
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Everybody owns the greats ideas
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner

The desire to part sure symphony
The desire like a distant storm
For love, be good for me
It feels like there's a big one round the corner

Oh my god, New York, you talk
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Everybody owns the greats ideas
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner

The way the day begins
Decides the shade of everything
But the way it ends depends on if you're home
For every soul, a pillow at a window, please
In a modern room, where folk are nice to Yoko
