Been climbing trees I've skinned my knees
My hands are black the sun is going down She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam She's listening to the dream I weaved today Crosswords through the bathroom door While someone sings the theme tune to the news And my sisters buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air And that's what triggered this I come back here from time to time I shelter here somedays A high-back chair, he sits and stares A thousand yards and whistles marching-band Kneeling by and speaking up He reaches out and I take a massive hand Disjointed tales that flit between Short trousers and a full dress uniform And he talks of people ten years gone Like I've known them all my life Like scattered black & whites I come back here from time to time I shelter here somedays I come back here from time to time I shelter here somedays |

5 posts | I have only recently discovered the genius of Elbow but was wondering whether Scattered Black and Whites was hidden or not cause i borrowed a copy of Asleep in the Back but it only had the first 11 tracks listed on it. |

10,981 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this is such a magical song. about untainted love, simple family love. it paints a perfect little picture, i think we all wish our childhood could be like this. a song about remembering, and clutching the good memories of the past, when things were simple. one of my favourite songs. go buy everything they've ever written. |
