After surfacing in 2000 with the breakthrough single "Yellow," Coldplay quickly became one of the biggest bands of the new millennium, honing a mix of introspective Brit-pop and anthemic rock that landed the British quartet a near-permanent residence on record charts worldwide. The group's emergence was perfectly timed; Radiohead had just released the overly cerebral Kid A, while Oasis had ditched two founding members and embraced psychedelic experimentation on Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. U.K. audiences were hungry for a fresh-faced rock band with big aspirations and an even bigger sound, and Coldplay were more than happy to take the reins. Parachutes went multi-platinum in several countries and earned the band its first Grammy, but Coldplay continued to grow into the 2000s, topping their debut album's success with higher record sales and an increased public profile. Chris Martin (vocals/piano), Jon Buckland (guitar), Will Champion (drums), and Guy Berryman (bass) were all born into musical households. Martin, the eldest of five, began playing the piano as a young child and later took solace in the work of Tom Waits. Buckland, on the other hand, grew up with the heavy guitar sounds of Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. Scotland native Berryman preferred funk to indie rock, thereby leaving him to play bass, while multi-instrumentalist Champion didn't plan to be a drummer until he joined Coldplay's lineup. The bandmates came together in 1996 while attending the University College of London, and the Safety EP was issued shortly after their first gig at a Manchester festival for unsigned bands. The release only saw 500 pressings, as did the subsequent Brothers & Sisters EP. Nevertheless, it was enough to win the band a U.K. deal with Parlophone Records in April 1999, and the five-track Blue Room EP arrived that fall. With nods from the media, Coldplay were hailed as the next Travis, thanks to their simple acoustics and charming personas. Parlophone ushered Coldplay into Parr St. Studios in Liverpool, where they recorded the bulk of their debut album. Parachutes was released in July 2000 and became a swift hit on the strength of four U.K. singles, several of which enjoyed popularity in America as well. With "Yellow" climbing the charts on both sides of the Atlantic, Parachutes was released in the U.S. in November, where its sales soon rivaled -- and eventually surpassed -- those in the U.K. Riding on the strength of their universally popular debut, Coldplay headed back into the studio in fall 2001 to work on a sophomore album. They emerged with A Rush of Blood to the Head, releasing the album worldwide in August 2002 and embarking on a global concert tour soon after. "The Scientist" enjoyed regular radio rotation, while both "Clocks" and "In My Place" won Grammy Awards. The CD/DVD package Live 2003 was issued to highlight the group's popular tour, and Martin specifically earned a higher notch on the celebrity scale by marrying actress Gwyneth Paltrow in December 2003. Paltrow gave birth to the couple's daughter Apple the following April. Fatherhood didn't stop Martin from working, as Coldplay began recording material for a third album within weeks. Previously recorded material with longtime producer Ken Nelson was scrapped early on, while Danton Supple (Morrissey, the Cure) joined Coldplay to complete the recording of X&Y. "Speed of Sound" marked Coldplay's first single from their long-awaited third effort in spring 2005; the album followed in June, topping charts around the world and selling more than eight million copies during its first year. Such success put Coldplay on the same commercial level as U2, and Coldplay retreated to the studio in late 2006 to work with famed producer Brian Eno (who had teamed up with U2 several times in the past). Recording sessions with Eno were completed within one year, followed by several months of mixing and growing anticipation from the band's audience. Viva la Vida -- also known by its extended name, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends -- ultimately arrived in June 2008. Worldwide sales for the album had approached six million by November, when Coldplay released several new recordings (including a collaboration with hip-hop mogul Jay-Z) as part of the Prospekt's March EP. Preceded by first single "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall," Coldplay's fifth studio album, 2011's Mylo Xyloto, was produced by Markus Dravs, Daniel Green, and Rik Simpson (the official press release adds "with enoxification and additional composition by Brian Eno"). Live 2012, the band's second concert film/recording, followed in 2012 after a hugely successful world tour, which included a special performance at the London Paralympics closing ceremony. Work began on their sixth album in late 2012 at their Bakery and Beehive studios in North London, where longtime producers Paul Epworth, Daniel Green, and Rik Simpson joined them for sessions. As the recording progressed, other producers, including Avicii and Timbaland, were brought in, making the resulting Ghost Stories quite different from its predecessors in that there were many producers instead of a handful. Coldplay began promoting Ghost Stories in March 2014, two months prior to its May release, playing a showcase concert held during the 2014 South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas. Around the time of the concert, it was revealed that Martin was separating from his wife. This news was counterbalanced by the announcement that Martin was going to act as an advisor on the U.S. series of singing competition The Voice. Additional television duties for the band included a concert called Coldplay: Ghost Stories on NBC (the same network that aired The Voice), which aired on May 18, the Sunday prior to the release of Ghost Stories. Thanks to this promotional push, Ghost Stories debuted at number one throughout the world and the singles "Magic" and "A Sky Full of Stars" performed well too, with the latter reaching the Top Ten in every major international market. For the holiday season of 2014, the band released Ghost Stories: Live 2014, a CD/DVD package that contained live versions of every song from the album. Soon after finishing their promotional duties for Ghost Stories, Coldplay returned to the studio to work on their seventh album. Recording in Los Angeles and London, the band collaborated with Noel Gallagher, Beyoncé, Tove Lo, and Merry Clayton (best known for her vocals on the Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter) as well as producers Rik Simpson and Stargate. The joyous, disco-tinged lead single "Adventure of a Lifetime" arrived in November 2015, just a few weeks before the full-length A Head Full of Dreams was released that December.

Oh no I see, A spider web and it's me in the middle, So I twist and turn, But here I am in my little bubble, Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble, I never meant to do you wrong, And I, well if I ever caused you trouble, Oh no, I never meant to do you harm. They spun a web for me, They spun a web for me, They spun a web for me.

Cemeteries of London At night they would go walking Til the breaking of the day The morning is for sleeping Through the dark streets they go searching To see God in their own way Save the night time for your weeping Your weeping Singing la la la la la la la le And the night over London lay So we rode down to the river Where Victoria ghosts pray For their curses to be broken We go underneath the arches Where the witches are and they say There are ghost towns in the ocean The ocean Singing la la la la la la la le And the night over London lay God is in the houses And God is in my head And all the cemeteries of London I see God come in my garden But I don't know what he said For my heart it wasn't open Not open Singing la la la la la la la le And the night over London lay Singing la la la la la la la le There's no light over London today Lost! Just because I'm losing Doesn't mean I'm lost Doesn't mean I've stopped Doesn't mean I'm across Just because I'm hurting Doesn't mean I'm hurt Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved No better and no worse I just got lost Every river that I tried to cross Every door I ever tried was locked Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off You might be a big fish In a little pond Doesn't mean you've won 'Cause along will come A bigger one And you'll be lost Every river that you tried to cross Every gun you ever held went off Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the firing's stopped Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off 42 Those who are dead are not dead They're just living in my head And since I fell for that spell I am living there as well Time is so short And I'm sure There must be something more Those who are dead are not dead They're just living in my head And since I fell for that spell I am living there as well Time is so short And I'm sure There must be something more You thought you might be a ghost You thought you might be a ghost You didn't get to heaven but you made it close You didn't get to heaven but you made it close You thought you might be a ghost You thought you might be a ghost You didn't get to heaven but you made it close You didn't get to heaven but you oh-oh, oh-oh Those who are dead are not dead They're just living in my head Lovers in Japan Lovers, keep on the road you're on Runners until the race is run Soldiers, you've got to soldier on Sometimes even the right is wrong They are turning my head out To see what I'm all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I have no doubt One day we're gonna get out Tonight maybe we're gonna run Dreaming of the Osaka sun Oh oh oh Dreaming of when the morning comes They are turning my head out To see what I'm all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I have no doubt One day the sun will come out

Viva la vida I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listened as the crowd would sing Now the old king is dead, long live the king One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield Missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you'd go there was never Never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world It was a wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield Missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield Missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world
Violet Hill Was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember There was snow, white snow Clearly I remember From the windows they were watching While we froze down below When the future's architectured By a carnival of idiots on show You'd better lie low If you love me Won't you let me know Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And a fox became God Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles And a cross was held aloft Bury me in armour When I'm dead and hit the ground My nerves are poles that unfroze And if you love me Won't you let me know I don't want to be a soldier Who the captain of some sinking ship Would stow, far below So if you love me Why d'you let me go I took my love down to violet hill There we sat in snow All that time she was silent still Said if you love me Won't you let me know If you love me Won't you let me know

Hurts Like Heaven Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park "Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark" It's so cold, it's so cold It's so cold, it's so cold Written up in marker on a factory sign "I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine" It's so cold, it's so cold It's so cold, it's so cold See the arrow they shot, trying to tear us apart Take the fire from my belly and the beat from my heart Still I won't let go Still I won't let go Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin Of you Cause you do Oh you use your heart as a weapon And it hurts like heaven On every street, every car, every surface a name Tonight the streets are ours And we're writing and saying Don't let 'em take control No, we won't let 'em take control Yes, I feel a little bit nervous Yes, I feel nervous and I cannot relax How come they're out to get us How come they're out when they don't know the facts So on a concrete canvas under cover of dark On a concrete canvas, I'll go making my mark Armed with the spraycan soul I'll be armed with a spraycan soul You Oh, you 'Cause you, you use your heart as a weapon And it hurts like heaven Yeah it's true When you Use your heart as a weapon Then it hurts like heaven And it hurts like heaven Paradise When she was just a girl She expected the world But it flew away from her reach So she ran away in her sleep And dreamed of para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Every time she closed her eyes Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin When she was just a girl She expected the world But it flew away from her reach And the bullets catch in her teeth Life goes on, it gets so heavy The wheel breaks the butterfly Every tear a waterfall In the night, the stormy night She'll close her eyes In the night, the stormy night Away she'd fly And dreams of para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise She'd dream of para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise And so lying underneath those stormy skies She'd say oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I know the sun must set to rise This could be para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise This could be para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise This could be para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Charlie Brown Stole a key Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet Took a car downtown and took what they offered me To set me free I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene Saw the lights go down and standing in front of me In my scarecrow dreams When they smash my heart into smithereens Be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete Be a cartoon heart Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin Light a fire, a fire, a spark Light a fire, a flame in my heart We'll run wild We'll be glowing in the dark We'll be glowing in the dark All the boys, all the girls All that matters in the world All the boys, all the girls All the madness that occurs All the highs, all the lows As the room a-spinning goes We'll run riot We'll be glowing in the dark So we'll soar Luminous and wired We'll be glowing in the dark Us Against the World Oh morning come bursting the clouds amen Lift off this blindfold, let me see again Bring back the water, let your ships roll in In my heart she left a hole The tightrope that I'm walking just sways and ties The devil as he's talking to those angel's eyes And I just want to be there when the lightening strikes And the saints go marching in Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin And sing Slow it down Through chaos as it swirls It's us against the world Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend My drunken hazard Daniel in a lion's den And tonight I know it all has to begin again So whatever you do, don't let go And if we could float away Fly up to the surface and just start again Lift off before trouble just erodes us in the rain Just erodes us in the rain Just erodes us and see roses in the rain saying Slow it down Slow it down Through chaos as it swirls It's us against the world Through chaos as it swirls It's us against the world Through chaos as it swirls It's us against the world Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall I turn the music up, I got my records on I shut the world outside until the lights come on Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night Until Monday morning feels another life I turn the music up I'm on a roll this time And heaven is in sight Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin I turn the music up, I got my records on From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song Don't want to see another generation drop I'd rather be a comma than a full stop Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes But my heart is beating and my pulses start Cathedrals in my heart And we saw oh this light I swear you, emerge blinking into To tell me it's alright As we soar walls Every siren is a symphony And every tear's a waterfall Is a waterfall Oh Is a waterfall Oh oh oh Is a is a waterfall Every tear Is a waterfall Oh oh oh So you can hurt, hurt me bad But still I'll raise the flag Oh It was a wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall A wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall Every tear Every tear Every teardrop is a waterfall Every tear Every tear Every teardrop is a waterfall Major Minus They got one eye watching you One eye on what you do So be careful who it is you're talking to They got one eye watching you

Lord I don't know which way I am going Which way the river's gonna flow It just seems that upstream, I keep rowing Still got such a long way to go Still got such a long way to go Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin Then that light hits your eyes I know, I swear we'll find somewhere The streets are paved with gold Bullets fly split the sky But that's alright, sometimes Sunlight comes streaming through the holes Princess of China Once upon a time somebody ran Somebody ran away saying "fast as I can I got to go, I got to go" Once upon a time, we fell apart You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart Once upon a time, we burned bright Now all we ever seem to do is fight On and on, and on and on and on Once upon a time, on the same side Once upon a time, on the same side In the same game Now why do you have to go Have to go and throw water on my flame Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin I could have been a princess, you'd be a king Could have had a castle and worn a ring But no, you let me go I could have been a princess, you'd be a king Could have had a castle and worn a ring But no, you let me go You stole my star La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la You stole my star La la la la la la 'Cause you really hurt me No, you really hurt me 'Cause you really hurt me No, you really hurt me 'Cause you really hurt me You really hurt me, oh 'Cause you really hurt me You really hurt me Up In Flames So it's over This time I know it's gone Saltwater Tasted it too long I only know I'm wrong Now I know it's gone Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin Up in flames Up in flames Up in flames We have slowly gone So it's over This time you're flying on This time I know no song Can stop its lonely burn Can stop it slowly going Up in flames Up in flames Up in flames We have slowly gone Up in flames Up in flames Up in flames We have slowly gone Can't we pour some water on Don't Let It Break Your Heart And if I lost a map If I lost it all Or fell into the trap Then she'd call "When you're tired of racing And you find you never left the start Come on baby, don't let it break your heart" Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin Though heavily we bled Still on we crawl Try to catch a cannonball And a slowly burning tide Through my veins is flowing From my shipwreck I heard her call And she said "When you're tired of aiming your arrows Still you'll never hit the mark Even in your rain and shadows Still we're never going to part Come on baby don't let it break your heart Don't let it break your heart" Up With The Birds The birds they sang, break of day Start again I hear them say It's so hard to just walk away The birds they sang, all a choir Start again, a little higher It's a spark in a sea of grey The sky is blue, dream that lie till it's true Then taking back the punch I threw My arms turn wings Oh those clumsy things Send me up to that wonderful world And then I'm up with the birds Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin Might have to go Where they don't know my name Float all over the world Just to see her again But I won't show or feel any pain Even though all my armour might rust in the rain A simple plot But I know one day Good things are coming our way A simple plot But I know one day Good things are coming our way Oh yeah

Glass Of Water ( Prospekt's March EP ) Scared of losing all the time He wrote it in a letter He was a friend of mine He heard you could see your future Inside a glass of water The ripples and the rhymes And he asked, will I see heaven in mine That is just the way it was Nothing could be better And nothing ever was Oh, they say you can see your future Inside a glass of water The riddles and the rhymes Will I see heaven in mine Son Don't ask Neither how full nor empty Is your glass Cling To the mast Spend your whole life living In the past Going nowhere fast So he wrote it on a wall The hollowest of halos Is no halo at all Televisions selling plastic Figurines of leaders Saying nothing at all And we chimed, stars in heaven align Son Don't ask Neither how full nor empty Is your glass Cling To the mast Spend your whole life living In the past Going nowhere fast And what are we drinking when we're done Glasses of water
Gold In Them Hills
( Collaboration with Ron Sexsmith ) I know it doesn't seem that way But maybe it's the perfect day Even though the bills are piling Maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling But if we'd only open our eyes We'd see the blessings in disguise That all the rain clouds are fountains Though our troubles seem like mountains There's gold in them hills There's gold in them hills So don't lose heart Give the day a chance to start Every now and then life says Where do you think you're going so fast We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes It's a case of cruel to be kind And if we'd get up off our knees Well then we'd see the forest for the trees And we'd see the new sun rising Over the hills and horizon There's gold in them hills There's gold in them hills So don't lose faith Give the world a chance to say... A word or two, my friend There's no telling how the day might end And we'll never know until we see That there's gold in them hills There's gold in them hills So don't lose heart Give the day a chance to start There's gold in them hills... There's gold in them hills...

Can you hear that sound 'Cause I can't help thinking And I won't stop now And then I looked up at the sun And I could see Oh the way that gravity pulls On you and me And then I looked up at the sky And saw the sun And the way that gravity pushes On everyone On everyone Baby When your wheels stop turning And you feel let down And it seems like troubles Have come on around I can hear your heart beating I can hear that sound But I can't help thinking And I won't look now And then I looked up at the sun And I could see Oh the way that gravity pulls On you and me And then I looked up at the sky And saw the sun And the way that gravity pushes On everyone On everyone On everyone
Harmless
So I heard you say, I got your getaway. I'm on a second trail, As clear as crystal. But it was harmless, It couldn't hurt you. Oh you were helpless, I know you'll get through.
Have yourself a merry little christmas Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light From now on, our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yuletide gay From now on, our troubles will be far away Here we are, as in olden days Happy golden days gone by Oldest friends who are dear to us Gather near to us Once more Through the years, we all have been together If the saints allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

(from the album Help : A Day In The Life) You put the world in a tin can Black market, contraband And it hurt just a little bit, When they sliced and packaged it In a long black trench coat Two hands around the throat You wanna get it right, sometimes There's so much to be scared of And not much to make sense of How did the clowns ever get control? But If your hear, can you let me know? How can they invade it? When it's so complicated? Oh you wanna get it right sometimes You just wanna get it right sometimes It's how you see the world How many times can you say You can't believe what you learn It's how you see the world Don't you worry yourself You're not gonna get hurt And there's something missing Seems like there's nobody listening If you're running in a circle, How can you be too careful? We don't wanna be man-trapped, We don't wanna be shrink-wrapped We just wanna get it right, sometimes We just wanna get it right, sometimes That's how you see the world How many times have you heard, But you can't believe a word? That's how you see the world, But don't you worry yourself Cause nobody can hurt you... That's how you see the world That's how you see the world

Here I am And beyond the reach of my hands She sounds asleep and she's sweeter now Than the wildest dreams Could have seen her And I Watch her slipping away And I know I'll be hunting high and low High There's no end to the lengths I'll go to High and low High There's no end to the lengths I'll go to Find her again Upon this my dreams are depending Through the dark I can hear the pounding of her heart Next to mine She's the sweetest love I could find So I know I'll be hunting high and low High There's no end to the lengths I'll go to High and Low High Do you know how it feels to love you Do you know how it feels to love you High and low
I Bloom Blaum Darling, those tired eyes Go with me all the time And in the dead of night Tell me you will be mine Where do you go to, pretty babe Where do you go to when the night wins away well Ask me so sweetly, what do I do Who do I sing for Well honey I sing about you You

Only Superstition
The copper head I see has found its way to me, It's old and it's old and it's old Making me cry. I sleep but I will not move, I'm too scared to leave my room But I won't be defeated, oh no. What if cards don't go my way? And it's sure to spoil my day. But in voices loud and clear you say to me "it's only superstition. It's only your imagination, It's only all of the things that you fear and the things from which you can't escape." Keep clean for the thousandth time Stand still and wait and line. Some numbers are better than others, oh no. What if cards don't go my way? And it's sure to spoil my day But in voices loud and clear you say to me "it's only superstition. It's only your imagination It's only all of the things that you fear and the things which you cannot expect." But it's making me cry, love, and it's making me cry And I'm slipping away, love, and I'm slipping away It's only superstition, only your imagination It's only superstition, only superstition.

Rainy Day ( Prospekt's March EP ) Then there was rain The sky wore a veil of gold and grey At night it was the bright of the moon with me Time was just floating Then there was rain This town's foundations are crumbling To the ground comes a bit of a tumbling And time just floated away We can watch it and stay and we can listen Oh, rainy day, come round Sometimes I just want it to slow down And we're separated now I'm down But I love it when you come over to my house I love it when you come over to my house Then there was rain And I spent the night with the Queen of Spain My lonely little heart would've broke again Times were vicious, say Singing, deeper than the knife goes in before you win You win but with less than when you begin Deeper than the knife goes in Oh, rainy day, come round Sometimes I just want it to slow down We're separated now I'm down But I love it when you come over to my house I love it when you come over to my house But I love it when you come over to my house I love it when you come over to my house But I love it when you come over to my house I love it when you come over to my house

Streets Of Baltimore
( Live / Graham Parsons Cover )
Well I sold the farm to take my woman Where she used to be We left our kin and all our friends Back there in Tennessee And I bought those one way tickets She had often begged me for And they took us to the streets of Baltimore Well her heart was filled with gladness When she saw those city lights She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night Well a man feels proud to give his woman What she's longing for And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore Then I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine And I bought a little cottage In a neighborhood serene And every night when I'd come home With every muscle sore She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore Well I did my best to bring her back To what she used to be Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights More than she loved me Now I'm a going back on that same train That brought me here before While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

( Chris with Fautline )
Where is my boy? I saw you come out of a scene Maybe in some kind of dream Something that never comes. Time that I take See over in arms I raise All racing to find you All racing to find you. Time stands I open your house to my world I see you come out of it all Unharmed and unscathed and shouting. Come over here And the houses I live in And changes you're making To the state of affairs. Calling where is my boy? I have seen you so often I cry where is my boy Or have you all forgotten? And in some kind of dream Have I seen you before? Have I seen you before? Where is my boy? So come all the waves Changing your number Changing the house where you live Change your lines. Have I seen you before In some kind of a dream? In a place you've forgotten A place I've forgotten. So where is my boy? Have I seen you before in some kind of a dream? Have I seen you before? Where is my boy? I say where was my head when I needed it most? Oh I stayed here before Yes I'll stay in the place I know.
You Only Live Twice
You only live twice or so they say, One life for yourself, one for the rest. And you, drift through the years and life seems strange, Till one dream appears and love is its name. And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on, Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone. Oh you, you only live twice or so it seems One life for yourself, one for your dreams And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on, Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.
*** Thanx a lot to Felipe for this one ***
Your Love Means Everything Part 2 ( Chris with Faultline )
I slipped away last night Took me away from sight and the place I know. All crushed upon my skin This mess I put you in and the punch I threw. It was a strange reaction for someone like you to remain on side And in a chain reaction I was down and calling for a place to hide. I saw a broken arm Machines will all break down in the way I know. Mended and all made clean I saw up on the screen all the stones I throw. It was a strange reaction for someone like you to remain so sure And in a chain reaction I dissolve and break and then away I crawl.
