The electrifying Elbow today released an enigmatic visual ode to British Speedway racing via the track Charge off of the band’s album, The Take Off And Landing Of Everything, which is hovering at the very top of our current Best Albums of 2014 tally.  Check it out below.  The song’s elder’s-lament lyrics are at bottom and well worth your time, as with all Guy Garvey lyrics.

“I am electric
With a bottle in me
Got a bottle in me
And glory be these …. are ignoring me
I’m from another century
I am a preacher
When I’ve got it on me
And I’ve got it on me
And glory be these …. are ignoring me
We never learn from history

Hey
I am the beau who loved her so in every song
And I designed that little mystery on your tongue
I’ve broken jaws protecting laws to keep you free
I made your day so take a seat by me

I am an old tree
Gonna talk my jaw free
Someone come and get me
Another night beside myself would finish me
Give us G & T and sympathy
I am the diehard with an empty dance card propping up a young bar
I’m pouring oil in double time upon the troubled rising tide inside of me
Upon my history”
