Elbow - Starlings Lyrics

How dare the Premier ignore my invitations?
He'll have to go
So, to the bunch he luncheons with
it's second on my list of things to do
At the top is stopping by your place of work and acting like
I haven't dreamed of you and I and marriage in an orange grove
You are the only thing in any room you're ever in
I'm stubborn, selfish and too old.

I sat you down and told you how the truest love that's ever found
Is for ones self
You pulled apart my theory with a weary and disinterested sigh
So yes I guess I'm asking you to back a horse that's good for glue
And nothing else
Or find a man that's truer than, or find a man that needs you more than I

Sit with me a while and let me listen to you talk about
your dreams and your obsessions
I'll be quiet and confessional
The violence explodes inside me when I meet your eyes
Then I'm spinning and I'm diving like a cloud of starlings

Darling is this love?
