Firebrand & Angel (Polaroids & Super 8s) Songtext
von Elbow

Star, rolling round the heavens and watching me pine the whole night through
When we were together the terror sublime, would turn me blue
When you′re in her mirror you don't even know your own green eyes
Fell into interstellar I′m broken in shame and I blame you


Hey there!
Woke up on a curbstone as high as a sofa, dopey and hopeless
Hey there, show me to the corner of firebrand and angel
Open a place and I'll stay there
One day in a whirlwind she'll call for a late one
Stay for a lifetime
Meantime, my best friend never-ending forgets all my stories
And lies of my glories

Hey there
Woke up on a curbstone as high as a sofa, dopey and hopeless
Hey there show me to the corner of firebrand and angel
Open a place and I′ll stay there
One day in a whirlwind she′ll call for a late one
Stay for a lifetime
Meantime, my best friend never-ending forgets all my stories
And lies of my glories

Hey there
Woke up on a curbstone as high as a sofa, dopey and hopeless
Hey there
