Back in your box, oh Lord
Gone the song he sang so sweetly
Back in your box, oh Lord
Found myself astride a tiger
Lifted my head just like you said
Drown me now in down of eider
Get me to bed, oh Lord
Lay my bones in the cobblestones
Lay my bones in neat little rows
Lay my bones in the cobblestones
Lay my bones in neat little rows
Angels and idols spiralling wild
Wind in your necks, oh Lord
Landed gentry line up behind me
Wind in your necks, oh Lord
Smokey progress, backroom sages
Let me back in, put back the pin
Now I've found those torn out pages
Can't read the text, oh Lord
Lay my bones in the cobblestones
Lay my bones in neat little rows
Lay my bones in the cobblestones
Lay my bones in neat little rows
In the house where they grew you
There were secrets and mistakes
That the eyes that see through you
Would give anything to erase
But picture them counting your fingers
Waiting for the focus of your eyes
No, no, don't point fingers
Fingers are for pointing at the sky
No, no, don't point fingers
Fingers are for pointing at the sky
Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Lay my bones in the cobblestones
Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Lay my bones in neat little rows
Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Lay my bones in the cobblestones
Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Yah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Lay my bones in neat little rows
Romeo - could I take a raincheck on the dance? I'm seriously in pain (but I'm dancing, in my heart....)

Miss you so much, Cynaera...
love this song...

Wow! I was singing this song to everybody in my hotel room just a few minutes ago! Love it!!!!
I was just thinking about this song! Radio Paradise is reading my mind! Love it...

You have clearly never driven on NE Ohio and Michigan roads. Around here, a resurfaced highway is better than Christmas.

Everybody in my hotel room loves this song... and this whole album...
absolutely brilliant lyrics and music...
Everybody in my hotel room just started dancing... love this song...

Romeo - could I take a raincheck on the dance? I'm seriously in pain (but I'm dancing, in my heart....)

I am so sorry to hear that you were in pain... I hope you feel much better today... hugs to you...
this is a fantastic song...

Reminds me of Sprit...That was a great group!!!
Yowza... love this song...
This song is good for the ears, heart, and feet...
Not really a "dancing" kind of tune to me, but quite an enjoyable one at any rate.
We be dancing here... this song is groovy and profound... love it...
Sounds like you're celebrating your liking of this song with a mathematical truth :)
and very good, too.
the synthesizer-sequence in the refrain is so over-the-top it´s almost ridiculous, astonishingly it is not at all embarrasing, but works perfectly
We be dancing... love it...

Ah Ha.....that's it.
My favorite band from the 60's-early 70's....Procol Harum
My favorite band from 2008-Present.....Elbow
Gary Brooker-lead singer PH
Guy Garvey -lead singer Elbow
Both lead singers first name begin with "G"......ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!....spooky.
existential theme... incredible song...
I really like what I have heard from the new CD so far.

This really is profound poetry, and great music—
Elbow - "Neat Little Rows"
My high priestess folded neatly, back in your box, oh Lord
Call the song he sang so sweetly, back in your box, oh Lord
Found myself astride a tiger lifting my head,
Just like you said
Drown me now in doubt of fire, get me to bed.
Lay my bones in cobblestones
Lay my bones in neat little rows
Lay my bones in cobblestones
Lay my bones in neat little rows
Angels and idols, spiraling wild, wind in your necks, oh Lord
Landed gentry, ride on behind me, wind in your necks, oh Lord
Smokey progress, back room sages, let me back in
Put back the pin
‘Cus now I follow sorrow pages, can't read the text, oh Lord
Lay my bones in cobblestones
Lay my bones in neat little rows
Lay my bones in cobblestones
Lay my bones in neat little rows
Lay my bones in cobblestones
Lay my bones in neat little rows
Lay my bones in cobblestones
Lay my bones in neat little rows
In the house where they grew up
There were secrets and the saints
that the eyes passing through there
Would give anything to erase
Would picture the counting your fingers
Waiting for the focus of your eyes
Oh no don't play fingers
Fingers are for pointing at the sky
Oh no don't play fingers
Fingers are for pointing at the sky
Lay my bones in cobblestones
Lay my bones in neat little rows
Lay my bones in cobblestones
Lay my bones in neat little row
Not quite as good as TSSK
Better!
Not quite as good as TSSK, but still really good. I highly recommend!
I understand what you mean... I have not heard this whole CD yet, but this song is phenomenal... great music, and profound lyrics... this is special... love it...
Wow... this song is incredible... this album must be awesome...
