Grounds for Divorce Songtext
von Elbow

Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

I′ve been working on a cocktail called Grounds For Divorce, whoa
Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleep, whoa
Doubt comes in on sticks, but then he kicks like a horse, whoa
There's a Chinese cigarette case and the rest you can keep

And the rest you can keep
And the rest you can keep

There′s a hole in my neighbourhood
Down which of late I cannot help but fall
There's a hole in my neighbourhood
Down which of late I cannot help but fall

Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid
(Ooh, ooh)


There's this whispering of jokers doing "Flesh by the Pound"
To a chorus of supposes from the little town whores
There′ll be twisted karaoke at the Aniseed Lounge
And I′d bring you further roses but it does you no good

And it does me no good
And it does you no good

There's a hole in my neighborhood
Down which of late I cannot help but fall
There′s a hole in my neighborhood
Down which of late I cannot help but fall
There's a hole in my neighborhood
Down which of late I cannot help but fall

Someday we′ll be drinking with the seldom seen kid
(Ooh, ooh)
