Only recently discovered Elbow, hearing their latest album for the first time last month. I'm excited. Why? They have a ready made back-catalogue to discover. I LOVE that - don't you?
Lyrics I'm running out of miracles Oh my soul And the streets alive with one-man shows Oh my soul 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 it's all 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 miss Oh my soul A 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 be here, and now, and who we are Another sunrise with my sad captains With who I choose to lose my mind And if it's all we only come 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 it's all 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 it's all we only pass this way but once What a perfect waste of time What a perfect waste of time
I never really thought much about Elbow as a band until I heard this song and it turned me on to them. This is an amazing song and I now like their music.
Haha. Good one. Clearly live, and an excellent live performance from a truly great band. This song does it for me everytime, fantastic how music can evoke such immense feelings.
What heavenly music to sooth a heaving heart. The wood claps, hand claps , trumpet and oh, my soul....perfect.
OMG...just utterly adore these guys. Pure magic! A chance discovery...
You gotta love the sound quality of jools Holland it always has great sound and new a upcoming music never the stale stuff most of radios play.

A great British singer who is confident with his accent and sings as he speaks and not pseudo-North American. And the result is sincerity...
Simply amazing
Such a great voice
Just discovered this fabulous group & boy r they great❤️
Lyrics
I'm running out of miracles
Oh my soul
And the streets alive with one-man shows
Oh my soul
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 it's all 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 miss
Oh my soul
A 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 be here, and now, and who we are
Another sunrise with my sad captains
With who I choose to lose my mind
And if it's all we only come 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 it's all 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 it's all we only pass this way but once
What a perfect waste of time
What a perfect waste of time
I keep coming back to this

I have a bit of a crush on Guy Garvey - his voice makes me go weak at the knees, especially on this song.
HOW can he write lyrics like this???? **mind blown**
Elbow is great band !
Amazing!
Brilliant
Superlative!
superb :)

💖❤️💕💔
to listen...
The only thing that's perfect is that song.
This could be my 'song of the year' thus far. I hope that I come across something better. It would be beautiful… "What a perfect waste of time…"
Absolutely Mint ain't it.
My perfect waste of time is listening to this masterpiece over and over again....
Crampo is a buftie imo

"What a perfect waste of time " 😊💧
What a perfect waste of time. Stunning

Matt Fraser your off your rocker kid...everyone knows all guests sing live on jools show...show some respect for talent dumbo. .
Haha. Good one.
Clearly live, and an excellent live performance from a truly great band.
This song does it for me everytime, fantastic how music can evoke such immense feelings.
Why would you say that?
Guy Garvey can sing.
Very dreary and dull
