I saw an elsebound train, on the overpass
In the driving rain, every ticket costs the same
For where you can't go
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It's the price of living motion, what's beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall.

They are one of the best live bands I've ever seen (and I've seen a few!). I saw them at the Garage in Islington and Koko a couple of years ago when they released I and Love and You. Their recorded stuff is always really high quality and well produced but live they really are amazing .. can't wait to see them again.

yeah its a pisser they have a few live albums out that are done very well, you listen to them and you can almost feel like you were there. Almost has never been good enough but in the meantime for those of us who know what we are missin...

there are folks out there with Mercury awards, brit awards, fuckin any award you can name in the industry and piles of money but I bet your and their last fuckin dollar that they would trade it all to be able to write a song like this....
