Elbow



We blew the doors didn’t we?
Pissed in their champagne
And did a real thing didn’t we?
Gave ourselves a name
And peeled away the shame
I wanted to explode
To pull my ribs apart
And let the sun inside

Red stain blossoms
And all you have is kisses

And when the sunshine
Throwin’ me a lifeline
Finds it’s way into my room
All I need is you

We called that love
All you have is kisses
And all I need is you

-- "Ribcage", A Cast of Thousands (2003)

I rather like "Forget Myself" with lines like:

He's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace

good stuff...

Yes, they are great, and so's your line. But there's something in those last three lines of Ribcage that captured me.
