Usually Bright Songtext
von Elbow

Hotel in my home town
The saddest room I ever woke in
"Try to enjoy yourself out there"
The saddest words you′ve ever spoken

The changeling, the taxi cab
Usually bright, so hollow
The saddest journey ever made
Begins today
And ends tomorrow


10 miles and in it clicks
Sadly through the avionics
At 30 thousand feet
The saddest gins, the saddest tonics

The fella next to me up there
Needs an educated broker
The happiest man you'll ever meet
Sadly, I′m not even joking

Hotel in my home town
The saddest room I ever woke in
"Try to enjoy yourself out there"
The saddest words you've ever spoken


The changeling, the taxi cab
Usually bright, so hollow
The saddest journey ever made
Begins today
And ends tomorrow
