Elbow - What Time Do You Call This? Lyrics






What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?

What time do you call this?
I've been craning, bewildered all my days
To now find your face
Shining out of the crowd

Love was just a word
That friends didn't mention
Cause love was just a joke
Till it battered me senseless

Ohh, shrink with me, tower with me
Wither with me, flower with me
Endlessly follow me
Chew me up and swallow me

Stay at least for now with me
Drink and dance and row with me
Tell me when I go too far
Stay precisely where you are

(What time do you call this?)
Call me out on all my lies
Hold my ticker with those eyes
(What time do you call this?)
Weather every winter while
Check my spelling, ring my bell
(What time do you call this?)
Don't expect tender sex
Check my spelling, ring my neck
(What time do you call this?)
Separate me from my breath
Kiss me nearly half to death, ohh
(What time do you call this?)

What time do you call this?
[repeat till end]

  3. A.... R....

    I’ve never been in love. But if love doesn’t feel like how this songs makes me feel this song makes me feel, I don’t want to fall in love.

  85. Y.... S....

    Нахер прошлое

  86. D.... D....

    Such a good movie , fuck the past

  87. T.... T....

    this is a great and emotional track but the uploader change the cover please

  88. C.... M....

    Great movie and this song fit so well in it. Don't know who the hell Hobbie Stuart is in the comments and I actually tried to listen to his version and its not even half as good as this one...

    C.... M....

    Totally agree, it was like some horrific Craig David type version. Probably great if you are about 16, but why would you even attempt to cover this beautiful song, let alone make some sort of awful garage version.

    C.... M....

    +notformebeaky you should try to listen to other hobbie stuart songs he's actually really good

    C.... M....

    @CoolTwinsPlayMc No thanks, it's not the genre of music that appeals to me. It's aimed at children.

    C.... M....

    +notformebeaky what the fuck does that mean?!

    C.... M....

    @CoolTwinsPlayMc That Hobie version, it's dreadful, it's the type of genre favoured by kids, hence my statement. It's like a very bad Craig David.

  89. A.... S....

    What does it say at the end of "Six Billion People And You"?

    A.... S....

    Fuck the past!

    A.... S....

    Fuck the past

    A.... S....

    fuck the past!!

    A.... S....

    Fornicate previous events!!!

    A.... S....

    I watched the movie so I knkw this. It's F*** the past

  90. O.... ....

    Great film

    O.... ....

    +Annabelle a great movie indeed , it gives you many feels.

  91. O.... ....

    The song is great, the movie sucks and I fell in love with Lake Bell

  92. C.... C....

    What song plays when she's in the bathroom? It's a sad song, without lyrics

  93. I.... ....

    10:49 am

  94. D.... S....

    Great song and movie - Simon Pegg is hilarious - talented actor :)

  95. E.... ....

    This has become one of my favourite songs. I am in love with it.

  96. A.... B....

    fuck the past

  97. K.... S....

    A song that I will remember ever.
