- The Loneliness Of A Tower Crane Driver Lyrics / with translationsGotta get out of TV
Just pick a point and go
The ticker-tape tangles my feet
As I search for a face that I know
Come on, tower crane driver
There's not so far to go
I must have been working the ropes
When your hand slipped from mine
Now I live off the mirrors and smoke
It's a joke, a fix, a lie
Come on, tower crane driver
Oh, so far to fall
Send up a prayer in my name
Just the same
They say I'm on top of my game
Dwindle gentle rose
Send up a prayer in my name
Just pick a point and go
The ticker-tape tangles my feet
As I search for a face that I know
Come on, tower crane driver
There's not so far to go
I must have been working the ropes
When your hand slipped from mine
Now I live off the mirrors and smoke
Come on, tower crane driver
Oh, so far to fall
Send up a prayer in my name
Just the same
They say I'm on top of my game
Dwindle gentle rose
Send up a prayer in my name

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Elbow's 'The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver' explores the whole range of human feelings though the isolation of a tower crane driver is the main subject of the song. The singer takes us, through his lyrics, straight to the feeling of longing and even the difficulty of reconnecting with the previously known and the already felt. To a large extent, the lyrics of the song speak about the negatives more: they are, for instance, portraying the feelings of angst, heartbreak, despair, love and reflection. On the other hand, the song highlights the roles of escapism, loss and longing and even deception and illusion. Lyrics have some mature themes and imagery that are probably acceptable for a general audience but a little bit hard to understand or appreciate without parental advice. The themes of searching for familiarity, dealing with loss, and the use of metaphors like 'mirrors and smoke' suggest a level of complexity that might be more appropriate for older audiences. Moreover, the line 'It's a joke, a fix, a lie' could be considered slightly suggestive, thus a PG rating is appropriate.
