Amazing strong song - should be heard on every radio station - I can also imagine joseph porter doing a duet on this song - your in the same league has that legend 

This is a stomper of a single taken from their album The Seldom Seen Kid in 2008; which went on to win the coveted Mercury Music Prize that year. Our track Grounds For Divorce also went on to claim the Ivor Novello award for Best Contemporary Song the following year.

Elbow - Grounds For Divorce

President Chump
INTRODUCTION

President Chump, fashions a slump,
lands with a thump. He’s a self-lover.
He blurts out everything he thinks.
Even when it’s nonsense and stinks.
Every day his cultic base shrinks.

He thinks he can rule.
The delusional fool!
INTERLUDE

President Chump, gets in a grump,
lands on his rump. He’ll soon discover,
his acolytes and rich sycophants, 
are kneeing at his feet in a trance.
He acts like Napolean of France.

But the Keys have got gates.
Fort Jefferson awaits.

INSTRUMENTAL

President Chump, thinks in a sump,
sinks in a dump. He’s a hate-shover.
He suffers from verbal diarrhea. 
His final destination is clear.
The signs say ‘Get out of here’.

His crown is a cone.
He’ll soon be alone.

He thinks he can rule.
The delusional fool!

But the Keys have got gates.
Fort Jefferson awaits.
