Is this the song they're playing at the opening ceremony or something? I've not heard it.
For me, Elbow's finest hour was the BBC Live Lounge rendition of Forget Myself. The lyrics, rhythm and structure all exhaust superlatives. It's pure poetry.

It's the BBC Olympic theme, so it will be played before the shows every day.
On the subject of Elbow as well, they are finally releasing their B-Sides collection later this year. Can't wait for gems like this:
