    I liked Guy Garvey talking about this song at Leeds Festival. On the day that the England riots started, Elbow released a song which was about reminding people that when they were young, they weren't all a bunch of scumbags and hooligans and criminals and thieves. They accidentally released a song on a day people needed to hear it most.

    I'll admit I've never been sure of Elbow - hearing them play this song live on Jools though won me over x100.
