"Usually Bright" lyrics - ELBOW

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
