Elbow - lippy kids (Live on Later... with Jools Holland, 2011) 

He has such a layered, textured voice. I can't think of any singer in the past 10 years with a voice this good

What camera work. Absolutely fantastic!

I never tire of this masterpiece. Thanks Elbow, real music for the working classes. 💙👍

Makes me tear up every time I hear this song. Beautiful, simple and transports me back to another time. Music gets no better than this...

Beautiful. Elbow defines a generation of real, unhampered music. Let is always continue.

see them live---wot a treat

Absolutely stunning, God bless Elbow.

Anyone else tear up when you realise there's a whole choir behind him?

every single thing you hear here is awesomeness

Stunning....

just a great powerful, but peaceful , song, got my past all over it, well thats what great songs are about a reflection in time, such a treat, well done guys, ps no pun intended.......

what a beautiful song

Tears are brought to my eyes

Only 49018 views?! People u r mad... This is just awesome...

¡Ésta canción es bellisima!... Cuando él la estaba cantando se le veían los ojos aguados, como con ganas de llorar.

Thanks for sharing your music.

Heard this for the first time today

Exception, this is the only explanation

Such an underrated band and this song would have been a top 20 hit 10 years ago. Charts these days make me sick!

Tunnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2 people have no idea what good music sounds like

You do know that One Direction are English, right?

So much life has happened in the 13 years that have passed, so much life has gone by. Are we still building those rockets people? I hope so. Keep smiling, enjoy the good times, the bad and reflect on all your wins no matter how small. 🙌

Guy Garvey is one of the greatest singers today

Underrated. Should be the anthem of humanity.

That choir humming in the background just makes this song :) Gorgeous

Such a beautiful song (as usual) from Elbow. This song sounds so much like night swimming by REM........you can hear it.

I thought this song couldn't get any better. I was wrong.

One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Tears of happiness to hear that something this lovely can exist. Thank you.

Look into his eyes. He feels every word. That's what makes this magical.

Being guys age this song resernates so much. Singing about what most kids did at that time. Walking on walls climbing trees. Nostalgic. Also a beautiful song, love it.

really underrated band!

I am 16 and I do not understand how this goes under the radar while one direction and Justin beaver are "popular" .... Same with guy Garveys Angela's eyes and other elbow songs like one day like this and grounds for divorce and the birds and.... Well..... Most elbow songs..... Sorry for the rant on this beautiful song's video but please just reply so that I know that I'm not the only one that believes this is easily ten times better that today's pop music....

possibly the best song ever. (my opinon dont rage)

Super muziek = super groep .. i love it ...i lik it

2024… WHO IS LISTENING ????

The sad thing is nowadays you nly have to be attractive to be successful in music and its suffocating real genius and talent like this

It's so weird to see that such a beautifull song and band doesn't have over a thousand views on this master piece. Build A Rocket Boys! ;)

This is music, not some GaGa bull which gets number 1. Well done elbow :)

Chills every time, anywhere I listen. It's pure nostalgia distilled into a few minutes of Guy's beautiful voice, soothing your soul.

Everytime I listen to this song, I cry.

Build a rocket boys isn't as tuneful as seldom seen kid but seems so much more peaceful and beautiful. Elbow dobn't get the recognition they deserve

My favourite song on this album. So real and honest. Great, just great.

Some of the stuff inthe charts suck. Wish there was more stuff like this in there :) cuz elbow r awsome

So intense! So inspiring! Thanks!

This song is so thematic in nature. It is, a musical score , unto it's own self. Such visuals fill my soul when I close my eyes.

Peter Gabriel. But that was MORE than ten years ago. Listen and compare. I love them BOTH.

Beautiful and evocative

Such an under-rated song. Its sad to see such a song with an incredible message get so little attention.

MIND BLOWING MUSIC LOVE THIS BAND.

The best band on Earth

Just Perfect

Beautiful x

Lyrics Lippy kids on the corner again Lippy kids on the corner begin Settling like crows Though I never perfected the simian stroll The cigarettes and it was everything then Do they know those days are golden? Build a rocket boys Build a rocket boys! One long June I came down from the trees and kerbstone cool You were a freshly painted angel Walking on walls Stealing booze and hour long hungry kisses And nobody knew me at home anymore Build a rocket boys! Build a rocket boys Build a rocket boys! Lippy kids on the corner again Lippy kids on the corner begin Settling like crows And I never effected that simian stroll No Do they know those days are golden? Build a rocket boys Build a rocket boys! One long June I came down from the trees And kerbstone cool You were a freshly painted angel Walking on walls Stealing booze and hour long hungry kisses And nobody knows me at home anymore Build a rocket boys! Build a rocket boys Build a rocket boys!

WHISTLING IN A SONG IS VERY COOL!

I like how the radio edit has the choir in the chorus but i hate how the piano outro is cut. Kinda pointless since radio never promoted the song, Belgium did a better job.

The simplicity of it, the construction of it, the timing, the memories, the genius. So rare nowadays. And yet so annoyingly ignored.

Studio or Live, same result awesome voice awesome music, which is alot more than i can say for most popular chart music that todays people admire.

Anna Calvi in the beginning!

Musterd

I remember watching this live, and thinking "what a performance", very haunting...love it...

Absolutely magnificent, this is the stuff dreams are made of.

just saw them at lythams gonna get you just brilliant!

I like live videos, but this one could have made a killer 'music video'.

Goosebumps

Could this song be any better or better performed...

i seen them live, it was perfect

Wat een mooi nummer!!!! Heel gevoelig....

I just heard Elbow a month ago and am floored as to why they are not more popular!

Dont be an empty cup.!!

Effortlessly beautiful.

I'm in tears. How can you top this...

1 dislike = zero class.

Love this version of the song.

Beautiful.

Best version. (full stop)

So Perfect !!!!!!!

And Irish

I have to hand it to Elbow, they make Coldplay sound like The Clash by comparison.

YOU ARE 100% RIGHT.
