Elbow

Usually Bright Lyrics

Hotel in my home town

The saddest room I ever woke in

Try to enjoy yourself out there

The saddest words you've ever spoken

The jangle in the taxi cab

Usually bright, so hollow

The saddest journey ever made

Begins today

And ends tomorrow



Ten miles a minute clink sadly through the avionics

At 30,000 feet

The saddest gins, the saddest tonics

The fella next to me up there

An Eton-educated broker

The happiest man you'll ever meet

Sadly I'm not even joking



Hotel in my home town

The saddest room I ever woke in

Try to enjoy yourself out there

The saddest words you've ever spoken

The jangle in the taxi cab

Usually bright, so hollow

The saddest journey ever made

Begins today

And ends tomorrow
