Elbow - Asleep In The Back Lyrics






Were you crushed?
Did I rush you?
All my time is yours
My twisted heart is yours
The faithless shit is yours
The shameless fits of love
That only smother you for moments
'Til I fold them up and leave
All yours

Oh you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh you had to know
Oh you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh you had to know

Show your scars
Not to rush you
The hieroglyphic hints
In all the toilet scrawl
Guilty little pins
In all the things I never talk about
Are spilling with the gin
Taste how tough you are
All yours

Oh you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh you had to know
Oh you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh you had to know
Not to rush you

    This is one of the best but inexplicable music videos ever.

    Fucking hell, Elbow, you get me every time.

  19. 3.... ....

    Reminds me of my Freshman year in high school. It's good to listen to them again.

  20. j.... ....

    Mad Video, remids me of "Avenging Angles" by "Space". Never realised how far back their hits go.

  21. M.... L....

    no no no - that's precisely what being human is about!!!!!!!

  22. f.... ....

    They do. It's probably your computer or internet connection.

  23. C.... B....

    IT'S DIDDY DICK AND DIDDY DOM! :D

  24. S.... D....

    its called botting. wuite a few major corps do it to get on the front psge of youtube.

  25. O.... D....

    I'm just surprised there's actually a band out there called MEGADETH!!!! o.O

  26. M.... ....

    that's the best video i've seen for a music video yet,

  27. M.... D....

    @ubermaster94 no harm done. but wouldn't you say that both fit (if a little loosely) under the genre of rock? even if this is quite a bit lighter and more keys based.

  28. S.... D....

    @matthewgilpincom also you cant really compare nirvana and elbow. that would be like comparing mozart with elbow. you cant say which is better really since they belong to different genre's. didnt mean to come across as an arse in the previous comments. was pissed off when i clicked onto this.

  29. S.... D....

    @matthewgilpincom right then. you could have explained better that would reduce the rages that come your way.

  30. M.... D....

    @ubermaster94 No offence meant, I'm not a troll, just a humble nerdfighter. I'll admit that it was a little stupid, I just thought that insulting a band that was not the band that made the song above would go down well. although I do stick to my belief that Elbow is better than Nirvana... My apologies :)

  31. S.... D....

    @matthewgilpincom 1. whats nirvana got to do with this video. 2. why would you randomly comment on that. 3. im a nirvana fan as well as guns'n'roses, iron maiden, metallica, opeth, a7x, megadeth, the cure, oasis, pink floyd, seether, muse, coldplay and newton faulkner. 4.dont think you are safe from people trolling back because your on an un-related video. 5. people can have broader music tastes than a twig, un like you. if yor gonna troll do it on the video, dont be a pussy.

  32. l.... S....

    What time signature is this song

  33. M.... D....

    SCREW YOU NIRVANA!!!!

  34. m.... ....

    I miss you, i really do...rip <3

  35. J.... ....

  42. R.... W....

    Elobow's great lost single?? Just been having a root around in the CD collection and pulled up the CD singles for this tune, which I'd pretty much forgotten about. Stunning.......

  43. z.... ....

    surreal song with surreal video to go with it

  44. W.... S....
