Scattered Black and Whites by Elbow

Another one new to me. I especially like the lyrics:

"Been climbing trees, I've skinned my knees
My hands are black, the sun is going down
She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam
She's listening to the dream I weaved today

Crosswords through the bathroom door
While someone sings the theme-tune to the news
And my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air
And that's what triggered this
I come back here from time to time, I shelter here some days

A high-back chair, he sits and stares
A thousand yards and whistles marching-band
Kneeling by and speaking up
He reaches out and I take a massive hand

Old stories that flip between short trousers and a full dress uniform
And he talks of people ten years
Gone like I've known them all my life
Like scattered black 'n' whites
I come back here from time to time, I shelter here some days"

For me it's impossible to pick just one favorite song. I have favorite songs of the moment, but those frequently change.
