POLITIK

Look at earth from outer space

Everyone must find the place

Give me time and give me space

Give me real, don't give me fake

Give me strength, reserve control

Give me heart and give me soul

Give me time, give us a kiss

And tell me your own politik

Open up your eyes

Open up your eyes

Open up your eyes

Just open up your eyes

Give me one, cause one is best

And then confusion, confidence

Give me piece of mind and trust

And don't forget the rest of us

Give me strength, reserve control

Give me heart and give me soul

Wounds that heal and cracks that fix

And tell me your own politik

Open up your eyes

Open up your eyes

Open up your eyes

Just open up your eyes

And give me love over, love over, love over this

And give me love over, love over, love over this.

 

IN MY PLACE

In my place, in my place,

Were lines that I couldn't change,

I was lost, oh yeah.

I was lost, I was lost,

Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed,

I was lost, oh yeah.

Yeah, how long must you wait for him?

Yeah, how long must you pay for him?

Yeah, how long must you wait for him?

I was scared, I was scared,

Tired and underprepared,

But I wait for you.

If you go, if you go,

Leave me down here on my own,

Then I wait for you.

Yeah, how long must you wait for him?

Yeah, how long must you pay for him?

Yeah, how long must you wait for him?

Sing it

Please, please, please,

Come back and sing to me,

To me, me.

Come on and sing it out, out, out.

Come on and sing it now

to me, me.

Come back and sing it.

In my place, in my place,

Were lines that I couldn't change,

I was lost, oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

 

GOD PUT A SMILE UPON YOUR FACE

Where do we go, nobody knows,

I've got to say i'm on my way down,

God give me style and give me grace,

God put a smile upon my face.

Where do we go to draw the line,

I've got to say, i've wasted all your time,

(Honey, honey)

Where do i go to fall from grace,

God put a smile upon your face, yeah.

Now, when you work it out, i'm worse than you,

Yeah, when you work it out, i want it to,

Now, when you work out where to draw the line,

Your guess is as good as mine.

Where do we go nobody knows,

Don't ever say your on your way down, when,

God gave you style, and gave you grace,

and put a smile upon your face, oh yeah.

And now, when you work it out, i'm worse than you,

Yeah, when you work it out, i want it to,

Now, when you work out where to draw the line,

Your guess is as good as mine.

it's as good as mine, it's as good as mine, it's as good as mine,

no, no no, no no, no, no no, no no,

it's as good as mine,

It's as good as mine, (as good as mine)

as good as mine, (as good as mine) as good as mine, (as good as mine)

Where do we go nobody knows,

Don't ever say your on your way down, when,

God gave you style, and gave you grace,

and put a smile upon on your face.

 

THE SCIENTIST

Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry,

You don’t know how lovely you are.

I had to find you, tell you I need you,

Tell you I set you apart.

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions,

Oh, lets go back to the start.

Running in circles, coming in tales,

Heads are a science apart.

Nobody said it was easy,

It's such a shame for us to part.

Nobody said it was easy,

No-one ever said it would be this hard,

Oh take me back to the start.

I was just guessing at numbers and figures,

Pulling your puzzles apart.

Questions of science, science and progress,

Do not speak as loud as my heart.

And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me,

Oh and I rush to the start.

Running in circles, chasing tails,

And coming back as we are.

Nobody said it was easy,

oh its such a shame for us to part.

Nobody said it was easy,

No-one ever said it would be so hard.

Im going back to the start.

oh, ooooo,

ah, ooooo,

oh, ooooo,

oh, ooooo.

 

CLOCKS

Lights go out and I can't be saved,

Tides that I tried to swim against,

Have brought me down upon my knees,

Oh I beg, I beg and plead.

Singing:

Come out of things unsaid,

Shouldn’t I pull off my head?

And a - trouble that cant be named,

Tigers waiting to be tamed.

Singing:

You - are,

You - are.

Confusion never stops,

Closing walls and ticking clocks,

Gonna come back and take you home,

I could not stop the tune I know,

Singing:

Come out upon my seas,

Cursed missed opportunities,

Am I a part of the cure,

Or am I part of the disease?

Singing:

You - are,

You - are.

And nothing else compares,

And nothing else compares,

And nothing else compares,

You - are,

You - are,

Home, home, where I wanted to go,

Home, home, where I wanted to go,

Home, (you) home, where I wanted to (are) go,

Home, (you) home, where I wanted to (are) go.

 

DAYLIGHT

To my suprise,

my daylight,

I saw sunrise,

I saw sunlight.

I am nothing,

in the dark,

and the clouds burst,

to show daylight.

oooo, and the sun shines,

yeah on this sunrise.

oooo, and I realise

who could live without,

who could part without, it.

On a hill top,

on a skyrise,

like a first born, child,

on the full day,

on the full flight,

if the darkness,

make the daylight.

oooo, and the sun shines,

yeah on this sunrise.

oooo, when I realise,

who could i live without,

who could i part without, daylight.

Slowly breaking through the daylight,

Slowly breaking through the daylight,

Slowly breaking...

 

GREEN EYES

Honey you are a rock, upon which I stand,

and I come here to talk, I hope you understand.

The green eyes,

yeah the spotlight,

shines upon you,

and how could anybody, deny you.

I came here with a load,

and it feels so much lighter now I met you,

and honey you should know,

that I could never go on without you,

Green eyes.

Honey you are the sea, upon which i float,

and I came here to talk, I think you should know.

The green eyes,

your the one that I wanted to find,

and anyone who, tried to deny you,

must be out of their mind.

Because I came here with a load,

and it feels so much lighter since I met you.

Honey you should know,

that i could never go on without you,

Green eyes, green eyes.

Honey you are a rock, upon which i stand.

 

WARNING SIGN

Warning sign,

I missed the good part, then i realised,

I started looking, and the bubble burst.

I started looking for excuses.

Come on in,

I've gotta tell you,What a state i'm in,

I've gotta tell you, in my loudest tone,

That i started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is, I miss you,

Yeah the truth is, That i miss you so.

Warning sign,

You came back to haunt me and i realised,

That you were an island,

And i passed you by.

And you were an island to discover,

Come on in,

I've gotta tell you What a state i'm in,

I've got to tell you in my loudest tone,

That i started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is, I miss you,

Yeah the truth is, That i miss you so.

And i'm tired, I shouldn't of let you go.

So I crawl back into your opening arms,

Yes I crawl back into your open arms,

And i crawl back into your open arms,

Yes I crawl back into your open arms.

 

A WHISPER

A whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper.

A whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper.

I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks,

Remember your face and remember too,

where you are wrong.

I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks,

come back and look for me, look for me,

when I am lost.

Just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper.

Just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper.

Night turns to day,

And I still have these questions,

Please just refray,

Should I go forwards or backwards.

Night turns to day,

And I still can't go back to you.

Just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper

Just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper

I hear the sound, of the ticking of clocks,

Remember your face and remember too,

when you are wrong.

I hear the sound, of the ticking of clocks,

come back and look for me, look for me,

when I am lost.

Just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper.

just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper.

 

 

A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD

He said i'm gonna buy this place and burn it down,

I'm gonna put it six feet underground.

He said i'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall,

Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls.

Oh i'm gonna buy this place and start a fire,

stand here until I fill all your hearts desires.

Because i'm gonna buy this place and see it burn,

and do back the things it did to you in return.

He said i'm gonna buy a gun and start a war,

if you can tell me something worth fighting for.

Oh and i'm gonna buy this place is what i said.

Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head.

Honey, all the movements have started to make,

see me crumble and fall on my face,

And I know the mistakes that i've made,

See it all disappear without trace.

And they call as they beckon you on,

they say start as you need to go on.

(start as you need to go on)

Said i'm gonna buy this place and see it go,

and stand here beside me baby, watch the orange glow.

Someone laughed, some just sit and cry.

She just sit down there and you wonder why.

So i'm gonna buy a gun and start a war,

if you can tell me something worth fighting for.

and i'm gonna buy this place is what i said.

Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head, upto the head.

Honey, all the movements have started to make,

see me crumble and fall on my face,

And I know the mistakes that i've made,

See it all disappear without trace.

And they call us, they beckon you on,

they say start as you need to go on.

(some need to go on)

So meet me by the bridge,

Meet me by the lane,

When am I gonna watch you, that pretty face again,

Oh meet me on the road,

meet me where I stand,

blame it all upon, a rush of blood to the head.

 

AMSTERDAM

Come on, oh my star is fading,

and I swerve, out of control,

and if i, if i'd only waited,

I'd not be stuck here in this hole.

Come here, oh my star is fading,

and i swerved, out of control,

and i swear, i waited and waited,

I've got to get out of this hole.

But time, is on your side,

it's on your side now,

and i'm pushing you down, and all around,

it's no cause for concern.

Come on, oh my star is fading,

and I see no chance of release,

and i know, i'm dead on the surface,

but i am screaming underneath,

and time, is on your side,

it's on your side now,

and i'm pushing you down, and all around,

no, it's no cause for concern.

Stuck on the end, of this ball and chain,

and i'm on my way, back down,

stood on a bridge, tied to a noose,

stick to the stars no,

and say what you mean,

but it won't change a sin,

i'm sick of our secrets.

i'm stood on the edge, i'm tied to the noose,

but you came along and you cut me loose,

you came along and you cut me loose,

you came along and you cut me loose.
