Elbow - Open Arms Lyrics

Why is the guy with yellow clothes looks like the dad of Onion in Steven Universe?

I dont understand the animation but the song is epic

nope... 2019 still havto press stop. cant listen to this song. r.i.p my boy

I wept a little at this comment. I'm very sorry.

Endless running cycle music.

Every drunk guy at a party.

You're a law unto yourself
And we don't suffer dreamers
But neither should you walk the earth alone

So with finger rolls and folding chairs
And a volley of streamers
We can be there for tweaks and repairs
Should you come back home

We got open arms for broken hearts
Like yours my boy, come home again

Tables are for pounding here
And when we've got you surrounded
The man you are will know the boy you were

And you're not the man who fell to earth
You're the man of La Mancha
And we've loved enough to light the street
'Cause everybody's here

We got open arms for broken hearts
Like yours my boy, come home again
We got open arms for broken hearts
Like yours my boy, come home again

Everyone's here
Everyone's here
The moon is out looking for trouble
And everyone's here

Everyone's here
Everyone's here
The moon wants a scrap or a cuddle
And everyone's here

We got open arms for broken hearts
Like yours my boy, come home again
We got open arms for broken hearts
Like yours my boy, come home again

Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Come home again

The moon is out looking for trouble
The moon wants a scrap or a cuddle
The moon is face down in a puddle
And everyone's here

I'm singing this song in my choir :)

i dont know how i just got in here but i kinda like it

I something wish someone will sing this to me, not likely.

Elbow are one of the best bands in the world, solid lyrics, music and a voice to rival anyone on earth IMO. Thank You Elbow. please never stop making music.

this helped a lot, my girlfriend of 2 years just broke up with me today...

Guy Garvey for me is a lyrical genius. His songs and lyrics always have so much meaning. Having seen them live, you look around and see that the whole audience is in the palm of his hands. Love Elbow...

This is one of them songs that sends a chill down my back! I love it!

It has to have been over 6 years since I've heard this. I haven't forgotten it, but I haven't thought about it either. I wonder what made me think of it after all this time. Maybe it's just that good of a song.😌

Heartfelt stuff as so often before. Very touching. It's taken me years to really "get" Elbow, but I am slowly becoming addicted....

It only took me two minutes to get addicted! Such talent- I'm blessed to have discovered Elbow!

Our 26 year old boy Josh, has just suffered a brain haemmorage ( not sure how to spell something that vile), and had brain surgery two days ago.He's on the up and recovering well it seems. Family have been stupendous. Mr Garvey...if you're anywhere near Salford Royal in the next few days...ward B7, Im sure he'd be made up with a visit ( 2pm until 8pm...though theres a quiet hour 5-6pm) and you can't leave the door open in case some of the patients abscond :)

Sending healing Love and light to your dear Josh.

Ka B Wishing your boy Josh the very best! Your message was a month ago so hope he's recovering well now. Break my heart over this song every time wishing my brother were to come home. Unfortunately he had a brain haemorrhage at 19 and didn't survive so he never will.

I donno whether this beared any fruit but I hope Josh is ok at least :( He is right...?

Ka B - I hope Josh recovered ok :-)

How's my man Josh doing?

I kind of want to cover this. I don't have a choir though, so I'll need to hold a church at gunpoint. Then I'll overlap the audio of the church choir with the prison choir.

fantastic!

exceptional stuff

Why do these negative people come to leave poo words lol....Don't listen if you don't like.

What a beautiful song

so emotions bring the song in, happiness, strength, power and freedom

Awesome song.... Love elbow

Wonderful song. Takes a few listens to come round to it but it's worth it :)

goooood

lovely!

How 490k people heard this and only 1k clicked like is beyond me

I hate it

Peter Samaan to chilled to bother clicking

Miserable Fucking song sung by an annoying drone voice. How the Fuck did they get a contract to sing this shite?

youneedtofuckoff

But here you are?

aaaaaaahh. lovely.

Desde que escuche ese tema del juego call of duty 6 y buscandolo es The night will always win quede fascinado por la melodia tan profunda, ahora estoy disfrutando los temas que estan aqui, Wonderfull music !!!!

sounds kinda like The Who

No shit lol

Epic Elbow, as usual

absolutely beautiful, awe inspiring music.

However you got here... we got open arms for you mates. Welcome to Elbow.

Love the song, hate the animation

Oh yeah? Good taste brought me here. :D

I think the word your looking for is epic

Elbow are one of those rare bands that should find a way of only ever producing live albums, because as good as their studio albums are, the music is so much better when performed in concert, everything fulls into place when it's live.

yes sure are @genesiz7201

@genesiz7201 Aren't Elbow from around Bury in Lancashire?

Elbow <3

Still listening to this and Craigs back home, Hurray!

They used The Night Will Always win in the soundtrack.

papermation stop go video. pretty cool goes with the song.

Why doesn't this have more views!?

Elbow are English mate aha

This song is just so sweet....

Elbow is a hell of a good band! Thanks to Black Ops 2

My great taste in music brought me here ;)

elbow brought me here :)

Come back home Craig!

London Olympic closing ceremony didn't bring me here.

I played this to my son at full volume on the day he left home to move to Stoke-on-Trent. I told him to listen to the words very carefully and not to forget them. I am still crying!

Thank God for Peter Gabriel, the inspiration for Guy Garvey. Probably his idol

Best band in the world, years going now. Bar none.

loving elbow brought me here :P

They are great!

They named themselves that because there was a BBC series that said that the word “elbow” is the most sensuous word in the English language, not for its definition, but for how it feels to say it.

elbow is amazing. please come to argentina

I've only actually recently discovered Elbow, but I've heard so many of their songs before. This is crazy.

Excellent music

Utterly amazing song, thank god I found this on iTunes on the Olympics albums. This song and One Day Like This are 2 blockbuster songs for 1 band to have.

thebossman222 ck out their song " sad captains" It is glorious

Thank God he was singing on the Closing Ceremony!! How could I don't know him??!! :O

London Olympic closing ceremony brought me here :)

great song

Closing Ceremony of the Olympics brought me here!

Beautiful!! Right up there with One Day Like This. Makes you sit up in you seat and take on the world...

maybe because they heard music like this by Peter Gabriel for the last 30 years.

Elbow is getting me through it all - God bless their little furry hearts.

I will never understand how this can have less then 10 million views

24 divs must have thought they could understand the excellence of 'Elbow!'

woooow, enjoy!

then why are we listening to it?

And now its animated!

How 23 people of come on to this song, and though to themselves, I don't like this, is completely beyond me.....great song!

That's amazing! I hope you are in a better place now.

It broke me heart when this nice song was playing at the end of loss David Haye :((

Go lisen to your taste in music.
we don't want you here.
Simple.

This song is so uplifting. Absolutely fantastic :D
