Elbow - An Audience With The Pope Lyrics

This would be the perfect Bond theme.

3:25 sooooo good

3:26...

Love it! Thinking of getting the songtext for my daughter. Although its a lovesong

Sweet Jesus, I'm on fire
She has the sweetest, darkest eyes
And when it comes into her eyes
I know iron and steel couldn't hold me

Good God, I'm easily bruised
So often in love to her flame
And the things that she's asked me to do
Will see a city of saints forgetting his name

I have an audience with the Pope
And I'm saving the world at eight
But if she says she needs me
She says she needs me everybody's gonna have to wait

Was that a minute or an hour?
(Where could she be?)
She turns the hours into days
Kill the phone, cover the cage
And wait for the doorbell to ring

No, she won't come running
(Where could she be?)
The world is turning at her pace
Kill the phone, cover the cage
And wait for the doorbell to ring

I have an audience with the Pope
And I'm saving the world at eight
But if she says she needs me
She says she needs me everybody's gonna have to wait

I have an audience with the Pope
And I'm saving the world at eight
But if she says she needs me
She says she needs me everybody's gonna have to wait

I have an audience with the Pope
And I'm saving the world at eight
But if she says she needs me
She says she needs me everybody's gonna have to wait
Everybody's gonna have to wait

Garrett Farrell so often a moth to her flame

I love this song so much

The guitar solo sounds like the music in Black Books

If this song were a lemon cake it would make a good cake.

The style of music in this sounds french. Anybody agree?

It's as Bury as black pudding

Stealthwolf101 QUADRUPLE FACEPALM


"I'm probably one of those views"

Well obviously because u have to watch the video to make an original post!

No offence but FACEPALM!

The band of the millennium - they experienced and described a changing of an age  

One of my fave songs from the album (time has flown since I bought it) and I often find myself singing the chorus :-D

where is d fault in dis band??????

please please please make this available to watch on mobile devices!! And all the studio versions of your songs! I need them so i can listen to them to go to sleep! thanks, i love you guys btw xx:P

dear elbow,

i'd say sigh would. its what he says anyway.

*Wouldnt*

Well its not unheard of but it also doesnt make sense in the song

its not unheard of.Plus pretty much all lyric websites do say eyes. But please don't think I am getting my opinion from them.

i dont think he is rhyming eyes with eyes

"She has the sweetest, Darkest eyes"

This is a master piece! Elbow is brilliant.

I like to thing of it as "sigh," personally.

All of the lyric websites are really wrong with this song. One I found said "often in love to her flame" instead of "often a moth to her flame". I mean really that is poor!

@commander2d It's 'ire' ... Nice lyric!

never realised this before, but the low end is amazing!!

@InParticularNobody Bryan* even

@funkster505 No - the seldom seen kid is Brian Glancy. Late Great Manchester singer songwriter and friend of the band.

@Shenoyk14 I know. But I did it anyways.

@langhalsen If you want to, you can.
nobody forces you to go on to youtube videos you dislike

@commander2d not all singers pronounce words perfectly sometimes a word is changed slightly to sound better

@langhalsen congratulate you on having an opinion outside the norm but ii disagree with your choice but hey why the fuck not! :)

I AM THE FIRST TO DISLIKE IT, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT ?

TANGO DANCE TO THIS SONG FITS PERFECTLY <3 <3 <3
(Y)

Seductive is the word for this song. I can imagine slow dancing with an elegant girl to this before our first kiss.

i feel this song in so many diff ways its not even funny i just love it ....i can let it play all day long

Is the seldom seen kid referring to Banksy? Just a thought.
Also the Album cover shows a white painted cube on a wall, like graffiti art.

@ElbowTV She has the sweetest darkest side, and when it comes into her eyes I know iron and steel couldn't hold me

@commander2d I'd say side makes the most sense.

Is it she has the sweetest darkest eyes, eye, sigh, or side? All the lyric sites say its eyes but i dont hear the S.

Sweet Jesus, I'm on FIRE!!!

I would SO do Guy Garvey, beard and all..

Hahaha this HAS to be about a BPD relationship!

I agree to be honest! :P

Theres something sexy about this song ...well i think so anyway lol. Smooth, i love it!

I'm probably 124 of those views.

I wonder why this has such a small amount of views.. its a good song

same here dude

love tihs song
