I've been working on a cocktail called Grounds for Divorce
Whoah
Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleep
Whoah
Doubt comes in on sticks but then he kicks like a horse
Whoah
There's a Chinese cigarette case
And the rest you can keep
And the rest you can keep
And the rest you can keep
There's a hole in my neighbourhood down which of late I cannot help but fall
There's a hole in my neighbourhood down which of late I cannot help but fall
Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid
Oooo
Oooo
There's this whispering of jokers doing flesh by the pound
To a chorus of supposes from the little town whores
There'll be twisted karaokee at the Aniseed lounge
And I'll bring you feather roses
But it does you no good
And it does me no good
And it does you no good
There's a hole in my neighbourhood down which of late I cannot help but fall
There's a hole in my neighbourhood down which of late I cannot help but fall
There's a hole in my neighbourhood down which of late I cannot help but fall
Someday we'll be drinking with the seldom seen kid
Oooo
Oooo

Review about Grounds For Divorce another view | Reviewer: Horace | 9/1/09
i heard this music lately but... in dr house episode. It doesn't v any suppouse connection with house but d more i listen d more i guess it looks like a bar from d barmans view, visited sometimes by the seldom customers who re in d middle of divorce (Kids)... and d barman was working on d cocktail for it... divorce can also mean that d band is not the same after The Seldom Seen Kids death... this song matches with many. things! After all when ure divorcing u may want to fall into some hole down in a bar with whores... i guess. 'She' may even keep everythng apart 4m chineese cigarette case. or it sounds like quote for the barman - 'keep the change' or 'change for u'
The Seldom Seen Kid | Reviewer: Miz | 6/20/09
The Seldom Seen Kid is a nickname, given by Guy Garvey's father, to Bryan Glancy, a fellow Mancunian musician and friend of the band who died suddenly in 2006. That's why they say "Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid", having a drink in his memory, then "Someday we'll be drinking with the seldom seen kid", hoping one day they'll see him again. It's quite sweet, really.
Seems to me that he is already divorced. He already knows the recipe for the cocktail. He gets to see his kid on the weekends. thats why monday's are for drinking to the seldom seen kid. Agree with view that he is falling into the maelstorm of low life around him.
Polishing his compass is clearly a reference to his dick that leads him in the wrong direction but because he's on his own he's forced to polish it himself, apart from when he is out with the whores
This song is in the preview of the new Cohen Brothers movie called "Burn after reading". It's got a nice sound to it. My best guess of the message of the song is first, He's working on a cocktail called Grounds for divorce, which might mean that he's about to do some stupid things!! There's talk of drinking and having sex with hookers and constantly falling in this hole in his neighborhood. It seems to kind of go with what the movie is about, which is some idiots like Pitt who get mixed up with the CIA, and think it's gonna be fun! Looks like a decent movie and a strange song.
