Elbow - Lost Worker Bee Lyrics

I miss jupp :(

Get this released physically on either cd or vinyl! Download only? Why????

As a brit living in France and missing my home in North West England, this song really speaks to me ...

My two year old niece's favorite video! Such a marvelous song!

Lol my media teacher made this

love it, missed it as I was otherwise engaged 😲I like the world in this video

Navit, from Still Game! I love it!

All the people hating on this video because it's simple and nice. Why can't a music video be simple and nice? There's nothing wrong with that, and it totally fits the mood of the song. Who cares if a sixth form college helped make it? Or if it looks like one did? Again, what's wrong with that?

I like it, lovely song lovely happy video, a nice positive cheering up type of thing. There's a place for stuff like that in life. :)

Amazing !

filmed in Devon. the karate kids on the beach is Exmouth, the river Ex estuary by the train station. Shit video though. Made by a local artist in Exmouth.

I so love this!

This is just such a departure from the triptych of videos they made with TTOALOE. They were beautiful and honest and so fucking stylish. THIS. What is this shit? Looks like a 6th Form Media Studies project.

+cx1735 It's a song on a short EP, not a full studio album.

I love Elbow; does anyone else hear a similarity to Jimmy Nail?

That moment when your media teacher helped make this

Wow. .😂

+Grass HopperRebel it's very true harry

+Grass HopperRebel I send you my new youtube channel later mate

absolutely beautiful maybe it's hard to believe but only just heard this song on the radio at work today. going to dig some more into elbows library, musical gold.

Can't get this song out of my head, I suppose it's because I really don't want to!

Good Ol' Synthesizer Patel

Heartwarming.

in my opinion, elbow have one song... i am still looking for the second one and this is the reason i ended up here, still not finding that seldom heard thing...

You're clearly not listening then, or else maybe this band just ain't for you :)

i love elbow

They always make left-field choices with their videos but they somehow work, just like them as a band, perhaps. This suits it perfectly; natural, organic, soaring, incidental, uplifting, life-affirming. Will their genius ever dim? I don't think so, not a bunch of guys as genuine, lyrical and talented as this. Sublime.

can someone tell me what this really catch,y good spirited song is actually bout i cant get enough i love elbow seen them last year at the 02 London they were great.

they just get better and better, I just got back from the USA after two and half months and mentioned elbow at every moment!

I thought the main actor in this was the vocalist lol

Filmed down my road. 😄

HEY! Are they all doing worker bee dances?

"Lost Worker Bee"

I'm easy to meet
Hands of a coal miner
Drunk on the tree
Treat myself worse than my worst enemy
Looking for someone to tango with me
Searching the earth like a lost worker bee

And out in the world
I know that somewhere a hard drinking girl
With kindness in reservoir looks to the sea
Scours the underground looking for me
Come be to the Queen to my lost worker bee

All these promises of gold
But where is my soul
Overseas in England and oh
I'm bust at the seams
Plastered in Paris or hanging my dreams
From the wind farms of Lancashire
Throw me a line
I'll give you my every day
Read me the scene
The scene with the Queen and the lost worker bee

And out in the world
I know that somewhere a hard drinking girl
With kindness in reservoir looks to the sea
Scours the underground searching for me
Come be to the Queen to my lost worker bee

Fabulous lyrics!

Absolutely charming!

Magnificent

THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why did I get recommended this from an eminem vid?

@Gregor Masson Because he spits smart lyrics .. and these blokes are fucking brilliant .. Expand your horizons Mother Fu@#er....lol...

37,593 views in four days.... get in.

i wish this band was more appreciated in the US.

+Jake Diaz Our country has no depth when it comes to music! It's stuck on a lot of trash! I love British music, but to find something new, fresh and unique forget the mainstream radio stations here! Not happening....thank you people who upload on media like Youtube for those of us on a real musical journey!

+Jake Diaz Yeah the man who shocked the monkeys ... I wonder if the best Genesis album was recorded with or without Peter Gabriel ?

I do too.. I got made fun of by my friends back in my middle school days for listening to them, but I didn't care. I knew this was what real music is like. 10 years later and they've finally become more and more well known.

+Jake Diaz I wish guns were banned in the US

@rick182 ill keep that in mind.

Beautiful and Charming Exeter and Devon

Navid yaaaas, haha

Once again you prove to be the greatest, most amazing band ever!

So great to see my uni here haha

The world would be a better place if everyone was as good-natured as in this video!

Elbow just get better and better with every new release. Their next tour can't come soon enough.

GOD I LOVE ELBOW!

And I love that once you start to move on to other music they are right there with more great new music!

A lot of emotion in this video. Life could be very surprising and beautiful. Just live positively enjoying little (big!) things. Thanks Elbow.

This is the most amount of titwank I've come across in a while, Mr. Kohli looks like a paedophile drifter looking for his next fix

Just enjoy the song my dude

Elbow are, without doubt, THE best band in the world right now. Guy Garvey's lyrics continue to blow me away! Long Live Elbow!

@68Ashworth Couldnt agree more. I still play thier last cd in my car and some tracks still give me goose pimples ...... after listening to them 100's of times. Seen them three times live. Best band and one of the best lead vocalists ever !!!

Spot on! What would you expect from Elbow , top drawer from day 1!

That's Sanjeev Kohli who played Navid in Still Game. What a legend.

dont like it

You know that moment when you hear a song for the first time and already start to sing along a bit? I just had one of those

Elbow nail it everytime with the music and videos....

Moose and Moose's dog! Cool!

Got to love elbow! Another great track!

Damn ! my little brother is in the video with the Hip hop crew 3:13 on the right hahahaha
Coool Elbow the song rocks!

sanj looks good in a suit

Maybe Elbow should do a gig at Exeter Uni after filming a chunk of this there :)

Fresh sounding! I like it! You've done it again Elbow :D

Ooh lucky you, you were wonderful. :)

I love you.

It's nice to see that part of the video is filmed about 10 minutes away from me :)

@Josie Borlase Agreed! Aah, good stuff.

I live in Exeter, Devon :) 

@Josie Borlase i'm moving there in September. (I'm terrified).

@s1lenc10 Don't be, it's a nice place and pretty easy to get around, but then again I have lived here 21 years :) but you'll be fine :)

@Josie Borlase chilled folk in Devon - A lovely place to live. I live in Bristol which is also an awesome place.

Like a big 'oss! Brilliant, thank you Elbow!

Amazing song! Amazing video! Made my day, thank you Elbow! <3

I can't believe that I was the footballer in the football scene. To be in my favourite bands music vid is unbelievable!!!

@George Smale Happy to virtually meet you George. Well done buddy. I met Lois and Dennis from the New York Morning video a few years ago...This Elbow community is a great place for great people...keep up the good work!
