About This Track

'Usually Bright' by Elbow is an alternative track from the 2015 album 'Lost Worker Bee - EP'. The lyrics move through a gloomy set of images, starting with “Hotel in my home town”, and circling around emptiness, weary conversation, and a journey that feels like it begins today and ends tomorrow. A note of bitter irony cuts through the central contrast implied by the title, with bright expectation giving way to hollowness, sadness, and a final, bleak cadence.

"Usually Bright" is a track by Elbow, from the album Lost Worker Bee - EP, released 23rd July 2015. The track is 3:06 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Elbow.

Lyrics

Usually Bright

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 changeling, the taxi cab
Usually bright, so hollow
The saddest journey ever made
Begins today
And ends tomorrow

10 miles and in it clicks
Sadly through the avionics
At 30 thousand feet
The saddest gins, the saddest tonics

The fella next to me up there
Needs an 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 changeling, the taxi cab
Usually bright, so hollow
The saddest journey ever made
Begins today
And ends tomorrow
