B i o g r a p h y Coldplay never intended to become England's favorite rock & roll sons when their signature rock melodies ruled the charts throughout 2000. The Brit-rock quartet — composed of Chris Martin (vocals/piano), Jon Buckland (guitar), Will Champion (drums), and Guy Berryman (bass) — yearned to mess around a bit, plucking their own acoustics for fun while attending the University College of London. All had been playing instruments since their early teens and had been influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, the Stone Roses, Neil Young, and My Bloody Valentine. They never imagined taking reign of the U.K.'s ever-changing rock scene. Each member had come from solid households of working-class parents that encouraged music to be played. Martin, the eldest of five, began playing the piano as a young child. He started playing in bands around age 15 and sought solace in the words of Tom Waits. Buckland, on the other hand, was into the heavy guitar work of Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix and was playing guitar by age 11. Scotland native Berryman was into funk instead of indie rock, therefore leaving him to play bass. The multi-instrumentalist, Champion, didn't plan to be a drummer until he joined Coldplay. He favored playing guitar, bass, and the tin whistle, but caught on to playing percussion when the band became official. Coldplay was heart-rending like Travis, passionate like Jeff Buckley, and as fresh as Oasis when they first burst onto the scene, so it was ideal for the press and public to praise them. They played their first gig at a festival for unsigned bands in Manchester, and The Safety EP was issued shortly thereafter. The Brothers and Sisters EP was issued by Fierce Panda and released a year later. Both releases saw only 500 pressings. Their sweet melodies and swooning lyrics landed Coldplay a U.K. deal with Parlophone in April 1999, and the limited-edition five-track, The Blue Room EP, followed that fall. With endearing nods from the media, the dream pop foursome were hailed as the next Travis thanks to their simplistic acoustics and charming personas. Two more EPs, Shiver and Yellow, arrived in spring 2000. Their full-length debut Parachutes, which earned the band a Mercury Music Prize nomination, was released in the U.K. In November 2000, Parachutes saw a U.S. release with Nettwerk; a month later, "Yellow" was chosen as the theme song for all promo spots for ABC. The well-received hype surrounding the band continued throughout 2001 as well, taking on three Brit Awards nominations and a sold-out ten-date tour of the U.S. in February. Rumors of a split consumed most of the U.S. tour. Martin frequently battled nasty colds and voice exhaustion, which led Coldplay to cancel a series of American dates and scrap a European tour. With all gossip aside, Coldplay resumed playing in summer 2001 and earned additional success with second single "Trouble." By fall, they headed into the studio for a second album. Rumor had it that it might be Coldplay's last album, for the band felt they might not capture such brilliance again. A Rush of Blood to the Head was released in August 2002. The CD/DVD package Live 2003 was issued in fall of that year. This concert album captured the band's show at the Horden Pavilion in Sydney, Australia, and highlighted Coldplay's monumental success worldwide with A Rush of Blood to the Head. They were bonafide pop stars. 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 first daughter, Apple Blythe Alison Martin, the following April. Fatherhood didn't stop Martin from working, for Coldplay began recording material for a third album within weeks. Previously recorded material with long-time 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 the band's first single from their long-awaited third effort in spring 2005; the album followed in June. |

Stuck in a corner
Are monkeys in cages
That don't have a number
To fight one another
Try to recover
Climb up the ladder
Look up and you see birds
Blind as each other
How long can we suffer?
We're as blind as each other
On the cloud that you're sitting
There's one born every minute
So much to discover
I've become a believer
Sisters and brothers
Who fight one another
Will mourn and deceive us
Will find us and keep us
Take us or leave us
How soon is now? yeah
How long is never?
I'm nothing but normal
With something together
Come on stick together
On the cloud that you're sitting
There's one born every minute
So much to discover
I've become a believer

2000 miles
( Cover / Christmas 2003 )
She's gone 2000 miles
It's very Far
The snow came down
Gets colder day by day
I miss her
I hear Children singing
It felt like Christmas Time
In these frozen silent nights
Sometimes in a dream
You Appear
Outside under the purple sky
Diamonds in the snow, sparkle
Our hearts was singing
It felt like christmas time
2000 miles is very far through the snow
I think of you where ever you go
2000 miles is very far through the snow
I think of you where ever you go
She's gone 2000 miles
It's very far
The snow came falling down
Gets colder day by day
I miss you
I hear people singing;
It felt like Christmas time
I hear People singing;
It felt like Christmas time
I hear people singing;
It felt like Christmas time
I hear People singing;
It felt like Christmas time
*** Thanx a lot to Constanza for this one ***
They're calling you
Some kind of ghost
But I know that's not true
Cause time and time again I spoke
And I have spoke with you
They're saying I
Am some kind of ghost
But that's so hard to say
Maybe I'll go
Maybe you're safe
No there's no way to say...
And I would love you
To come over
And I would love you
Too
*** Thanx a lot to Alessandra for this one ***
Animals we are
Disposable, collapsable and raw,
In you go into some crowded room
And animals that climb
And they're climbing over you until you say
"Off you go, off you go"
Animal I am
And I'm looking for an answer just like you
I should know which way to turn
An animal that runs,
And I ran away from you because I'm scared
"Off you go, off you go"
If you're gonna go, go now
If you're gonna go, go now
I forgot to tell you now
So if you're gonna go
Go now
Animal you are
Disposable, defenceless yes and
Watch your mouth, boys watch your mouth
I'm an animal that runs,
And I made all my excuses to you
And I missed my chance by a stones throw
If you're gonna go, go now
If you're gonna go, go now
I forgot to tell you now
So if you're gonna go
Go now
Go now
Go now
Go now
One
Now crumble
Crumble and fall
Crumble and fall like an animal
Yes I crumble
Crumble and fall
Crumble and fall like an animal
Yes I crumble
Crumble and fall
Crumble and fall like an animal
Yes I crumble
Crumble and fall
Crumble and fall like an animal

Some saw the sun
Some saw the smoke
Some heard the gun
Some bent the bow
Sometimes the wire must tense for the note
Caught in the fire, say oh
We're about to explode
Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Some far away
Some search for gold
Some dragon to slay
Heaven we hope is just up the road
Show me the way, Lord 'cause I
I'm about to explode
Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Carry your world and all your hurt
Carry your world...
Bigger Stronger
( Safety EP )
I wanna be bigger, stronger, drive

To take me anywhere in seconds,
To take me anywhere I wanna go,
And drive around a faster car,

I think I want to change my attitude.
I think I want to change my oxygen.
I think I want to change my air,
My amorous fear, I wanna choke.
I wanna be bigger, stronger, drive a faster car,
To take me anywhere in seconds,
To take me anywhere I wanna go,
And drive around my faster car,
I will settle for nothing less,
I will settle for nothing less.

Christmas Lights
Christmas night
Another fight
Tears we cried, a flood
Got all kinds of poison in
Of poison in my blood
I took my feet to Oxford Street
Tried to right a wrong
Just walk away, those windows say
But I can't believe she's gone
When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Cup of candles, oh they flicker
Oh, they flicker and they flow
And I'm up here holding onto all those chandeliers of hope
Like some drunken Elvis singing
I go singing out of tune
Saying how I always loved you, darling
And I always will
But when you're still waiting for the snow to fall
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Down where the sea and city meet
May all your troubles soon be gone
Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on
Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Maybe they'll bring her back to me
Then all my troubles will soon be gone
Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on
Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Light up the fireworks in me
May all your troubles soon be gone
Those Christmas lights, keep shining on a
It could be worse
I could be alone
I could be locked in here on my own
Like a stone that suddenly drops
It never stops, no
I could be lost
Or I could be saved
Calling out from beneath the waves
Beaten down by this ocean rain
Never again
Never again
Screaming out from the crests of waves
It could be worse
Bitter or sweet
It could be snapped from the jaws of defeat
Like a light lit upon a beach
Wear your heart on your sleeve
You want to stop before you begin
You want to sink when you know you could swim
You want to stop just before you begin
Never give in
Never give in
Screaming out from the crests of waves
Nothing matters
Except life and the love you make
Nothing matters
Except life and the love you make
Nothing matters
Except life and the love you make
Except life and the love you make
Screaming out from the crests of waves
Screaming out from the crests of waves
Where your longing to be saved
Screaming out from the crests of waves
Where your longing to be saved
Screaming out from the crests of waves

Death Will Never Conquer
( Viva la vida B-side )
If sweet death should ever conquer me
Let me know boys, let me know
If you hear him coming, won't you let me flee
Let me go boys, let me go
One day death is going to conquer me
I’ll be down where the waters flow
I hope sweet heaven has a place for me
Let me know boys, let me know
If sweet death should ever conquer me
Take me down to some place below
If you hear him coming, won't you set me free
Let me go boys, let me go
If you hear him coming, won't you say for me
That I just don’t want to go...
( Brothers & Sisters EP )
Love; I hope we get old,
I hope we can find a way of seeing it all.
Love; I hope we can be,
I hope I can find a way of letting you see
That I’m so easy to please, so easy.
Love; I hope we grow old,
I hope we can find a way of seeing it all.
Love; I hope we can be
I hope I can find a way of letting you see
That I’m so easy to please, so easy
( Shiver EP )
If you're lost and feel alone
Circumnavigate the globe
All you ever have to hope for too
And the way you seem to flow
Circumnavigate in hope
And they seem to lose control, with you
Everyone of us is hurt
And everyone of us is scarred
Everyone of us is scared
Not you
Your eyes closed
Your head hurts
Your eyes feel so low
Everyone of us is scared
Everyone of us is hurt
Everyone of us has hope
For you (x10)

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
( 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...

Baby
It's been a long time coming
Such a long, long time
And I can't stop running
Such a long, long time
Can you hear my heart beating?
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

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

Stuck here, in the middle of
nowhere,
With a head ache, and a heavy heart,
Well nothing was going quite right here,
And I'm tired, I can't play no part.
Oh
come on, come on,
Oh what a state I'm in,
Oh come on, come on,
Why won't it just stay here?
Help is just around the corner, for us.
Oh my head won't stop aching,
And I'm sat here, licking my wounds,
I'm shattered,
But it really doesn't matter,
'Cause my rescue is going to be here soon.
Oh come on, come on
What a state, I'm in,
Oh come on, come on,
Why won't it just sink in?
Help is just around the corner,
for us,
Help is just around the corner, for us,
Help is just around the corner, for us.
Here Comes The Sun
( The Beatles / Live Cover Chicago 2001 )
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it seems so long since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, I say
It's all right
Little darling, I see those smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems so long since it's been here
Here comes the sun little darling
Oh, here comes the sun, I say
It's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, It seems the ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems so long since it's been clear
Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Here comes the sun, little darling
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
It's all right
(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

Hunting
High And Low
( A-ha cover / Live Einslive Radiokonzert 10-07-2002 )
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

One, two, three... Will
I ran away from you
That's all I ever do
And though I started here
I ran away from you
I'm gonna come on in
And see it through
I ran away from you
That's all I ever do
And when I heard you call to
Come back to me
And though I should stay
I don't have the stomach to
Everyone I know
Says I'm a fool mess with you
Everyone I know
Says it's a stupid thing to do
I have your love on call
And yet my day is not so full
There might be nothing left to do
So I ran away from you
I'm gonna come on in
My eyes are closed
I can feel it there
The sun's so close
I'm gonna come on out
And burn the sky
A star arose in my own cage
I'm stuck in line
And in a cage
Just a single star
I sing for
Everyone I know
Says I'm a fool mess with you
Everyone I know
Says it's a stupid thing to do
I have your love on call
And yet my day is not so full
And I did not know what to do
And so I ran away from you

From the very start
It came apart
It broke up into pieces and
There’s a chance I could have missed it
It could risked it
So I put myself into your hands
Cause you’re not just anyone
You’re a ladder to the sun
Yeah, you’re not just anyone
You’re a ladder to the sun
I could run my courses and
Opposing forces
And all men are just mortals and
Oh if you want me, then you can have me
Come on, take me, oh baby grab me
Cause if you want me then you can have me
Cause you’re not just anyone
You’re a ladder to the sun
You’re not just anyone
You’re a ladder to the sun
Oh now boy what you been and done
You set a course that you couldn’t run
Oh now boy what you been and done
I had it all and I risked it
I had it all and I risked it all
And I risked it all
And I risked it all
A ladder to the
A ladder to the sun
A ladder to the
A ladder to the sun
A ladder to the
A ladder to the sun
I had it all and I risked it all
A ladder to the
A ladder to the sun

Life In Technicolor 2
( Prospekt's March EP )
There's a wild wind blowing
Down the corner of my street
Every night there, the headlights are glowing
There's a cold war coming
On the radio, I heard
Baby, it's a violent world
Oh, love, don't let me go
Won't you take me where the street lights glow?
I can hear it coming
I can hear the silent sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Time came a creeping
Oh and time's a loaded gun
Every road is a ray of light
It goes on
Time only can lead you on, still it's
Such a beautiful night
Oh, love, don't let me go
Won't you take me where the street lights glow?
I can hear it coming
Like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Gravity, release me
And don't ever hold me down
Now my feet won't touch the ground...
Life Is For Living
( Mylo Xyloto Japanese Bonus Track )
Now I never meant
To do you wrong
That's what I came here to say
That if I was wrong
Then I'm sorry
Don't let it stand in our way
'Cause my head just aches
When I think of
The things that I shouldn't have done
But, life is for living
We all know
And I don't wanna live it alone
Lips Like Sugar
( Live Cover / Echo & the Bunnymen )
She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught
her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight
She'll flow down your river
And ask him and she'll give you
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
To melt into this lake
She'll flow down your river
And ask him and she'll give you
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The King of Siam
And my Siamese twin
She knows what I'm thinking
???
She'll flow down your river
And ask him and she'll give you
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lost
Highway
( Hank Williams Cover / Live Sydney 2001 )
I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
When I past by all the people say
Just another guy on the lost highway
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a woman's lies makes a life like mine
On the day we met, oh I went astray
I started rolling down that lost highway
I was just a lad, nearly twenty two
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
And now I'm lost, too late to pray
Lord I paid a cost, on the lost highway
Now boy's don't start to ramblin' round
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway
You started rollin' down that lost highway
You started rollin' down that lost highway
You started rollin' down that lost highway

Moving To Mars
( Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall EP )
Somewhere up above the stars
The wreckage of a universe floats past
Somewhere up above my heart
A tiny little seed is sown
A government is overthrown
Who knows when we'll be coming home at last
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a
sin
And I heard it on the radio
That one day we'll be living in the stars
And I heard it on a TV show
That somewhere up above and in my heart
They'll be tearing us apart
Maybe moving us to Mars
We won't see the earth again
In these seconds just remain unchanged
Eight to nine, nine to ten
We are meeting for the first time
We might never meet again, you and me
We are meeting for the first time
Can't you see
Seven, six, five, four, three
We are meeting for the first time
Singing this space symphony
They'll be tearing us apart
Maybe moving us to Mars
Past the satellites and stars
They're moving us to Mars
Murder
Murder, they're coming to get us
They're coming to get us
And the way we hide
Murder, see it all around us
See it all around us
And the way we hide
Murder, they're coming to get us
They're coming to get us
And the way we hide
Tie me to a tree
Tie my hands above my head
Sing a song to me
Sing a song like what you said
They're gonna murder me
They're gonna take me down
And even before I sleep
I cry murder
Come and spit at us
Come and throw your weight around
Come and fight with us
Try and knock us to the ground
They're gonna murder me
They're gonna take me down
And even before I sleep
I scream murder
Murder
Oh yeah what can it possibly gain?
Oh what can it possibly gain?
Oh now what can it possibly gain?
Oh yeah what could it possibly gain?
I cry murder
Murder
I cry murder
Murder, all coming to get us
All coming to get us
And the way we hide
Murder, see it all around us
See it all around us
And the way we hide
Murder, they're coming to get us
They're coming to get us
And the way we hide
Murder, see it all around you
See it all around you
And the way we hide

No More Keeping My Feet On The Ground
( Safety EP )
Sometimes I wake up, and I'm
falling asleep,
And I think that maybe the curtains are closing on me,
But I wake up,
Yes I wake up,
Smiling.
Sometimes I feel that the chance
is surprising,
Surprisingly good to be moving around,
So I wake up,
Yes I wake up,
Smiling.
So what? I feel fine,
I'm OK, I've seen the lighter side of life,
I'm alright, I feel good,
So I'll do, I'll try to stop moving,
Sometimes I wake up, and I'm
falling asleep,
And I've got to get going so much that I wanted to do,
Yes I wake up,
Smiling.
And this could be my last chance,
This may be my only chance,
Yeah this could be my last chance,
No more keeping my feet on the ground.

Here's an Ode, ah, to deodorant
It's my thing, ah it's my favourite hygiene
It keeps me through the day
Another ode, ah to deodorant

Now My Feet
Won't Touch The Ground
( Prospekt's March EP )
Let me go boys, let me go
Push my boat from the highest cliff to the sea below
Rocks are waiting boys, rocks await
Swoop down from the sky and catch me like a bird of prey
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Now my head won't stop
You wait a lifetime to be found
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Singing, now my feet won't touch the ground
Now my head won't stop
You wait a lifetime to be found
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Now my feet won't touch the ground...
One I Love
Could you come back
Come back together
Put yourself on my back
and say its forever
Could you could you come on
Come on forever
Your shouders knees and your back
Are what keep me together
Cause you're the one I love
Could you could you come in
Come in together
Tie yourself to a mast
It's now or it's never
It's gonna tear us apart
Tell me forever
It's gonna tear us apart love
Or keep us together
Cause you're the one I love

( Brothers & Sisters EP )
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.

An opportunity that went bad

Prospekt's March/Poppyfields
( Prospekt's March EP )
Smoke is rising from the houses
People burying their dead
I ask somebody what the time is
But time doesn't matter to them yet
People talking without speaking
Trying to take what they can get
I ask you if you remember
Prospekt, how could I forget
Drums
Here it comes
Don't you wish that life could be as simple
As fish swimming round in a barrel
When you've got the gun
Oh and I run
Here it comes
We're just two little figures in a soup bowl
Trying to get behind a kind of control
But I wasn't one
Now here I lie
On my own in a separate sky
And here I lie
On my own in a separate sky
I don't wanna die
On my own here tonight
But here I lie
On my own in a separate sky...
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
( Johnny Cash Cover / live on tour 2005 )
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a firey ring
Found my wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burnin ring of fire
I went down down down
And the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
I fell into a burnin ring of fire
I went down down down
And the flames went hgher
And it burns burns burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh but the fire was wild
I fell into a burnin ring of fire
I went down down down
And the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
I fell into a burnin ring of fire
I went down down down
And the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
And it burns burns burns
The ring of fire...

So you lost your trust,
And you never should have,
And you never should have,
But don't break your back,
If you ever see this,
Don't answer that,
In a bullet-proof vest,
With the windows all closed,
I'll be doing my best,
I'll see you soon,
In a telescope lens,
And when all you want is friends,
I'll see you soon,
So they came for you,
They came snapping at your heels,
They come snapping at your heels,
But don't break your back,
If you ever say this,
But don't answer that,
In a bullet-proof vest,
With the windows all closed,
I'll be doing my best,
I'll see you soon,
In a telescope lens,
And when all you want is friends,
I'll see you soon,
I'll see you soon,
I know, you lost your trust,
I know, you lost your trust,
I know, don't lose your trust.

You only got the Sleeping Sun

Answers will come
Running and hiding
Taking dividing
You’ve got your secrets
I’ve only got the Sleeping Sun

Oh oh oh oh
Ah ah ah ah
And you as I saw
We're [a] piece in a jigsaw
Run up the divide and

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

Under the great North star
Try to work out where you are
In the silence of the sea
I don't know where I'll be
In the future, in the past
Going nowhere... much too fast
When I go there, go with me
When I go there, go with me
Cause I don't know where I'm going and I wanna talk
I feel like I'm going where I've been before
And I wanna talk
Take a picture of
Something that you're not sure of
Bring it back to show to me
But I don't know what I see
In the future, find a home
Getting nowhere on your own
Got to find your missing piece
Cause you don't know were you're going and you wanna talk
You feel like you're going where you've been before
Nothing's really making any sense at all
You tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored
Let's talk
Let's talk
Do you wanna talk
I'm up in the part of the throne
I'm trying to sing a song
In a language I don't speak
I tried but I can't get through
I'm trying to get to you
But you’re difficult to reach
Won't you talk to me
So you don't know were you're going and you wanna talk
You feel like you're going where you've been before
Let's talk

The Goldrush
( Live )
I went digging for gold
Down by the river
Over by the mountain
Where the prospektor had been told
I'm marching through the cold
We're marching through the cold
I went digging for gold
I went down with my brother
A bucket and a shovel and a book about the colour of coal
I'm marching through the cold
We're marching through the cold
There's a tiny little crackle on the telephone line
Saying what use the metal if the metal don't shine
She said bring me back a diamond/ring 'cause I really want one
Now I been digging so long that I never see the sun

X and Y
The land, sea, rivers, trees, the stars, the sky
That and this
We're part of a bigger plan
Don't know what it is
Don't know what it is
You and me
The land, sun, trees, the sky, the stars, the sea
Three hundred and sixty five degrees
I am a puzzle, you're the missing piece
Hang on a minute, just a minute please
I'll come
And everything under the sun
And everything under the sun
What is this feeling that I can't explain
And why am I never gonna sleep again
What is this thing I've never seen before
A little boy lost in a breaking storm
Hide and sob, and away they fly
To write your name in the summer sky
Life has really only just begun
Life that comes
And everything under the sun
X is Y
The land, sea, rivers, trees, the stars, the sky
Three hundred and sixty five degrees
All of the surface and the underneath
Searching your mellow and outsings your key, ah
And everything under the sun
And everything under the sun
What is this feeling that I can't explain
And why am I never gonna sleep again
What is this thing I've never seen before
A little boy lost in a breaking storm
Hide and sob, and away they fly
To write your name in the summer sky
Life has really only just begun
Life that comes
And everything under the sun
And you don't know that you've been born
Can't see the calm until the storm
Can't tell your right side from your wrong
Can't see the wave you're riding on
Things I Don't Understand
How tides control the sea, and what becomes of me
How little things can slip out of your hands
How often people change, no two remain the same
Why things don't always turn out as you plan
These are things that I don't understand
Yeah, these are things that I don't understand
I can't, and I can't decide
Wrong, all my wrong from right
Day, all my day for night
Dark, all my dark for light
I live, but I love this life
How infinite is space, and who decides your fate
Why everything will dissolve into sand
How to avoid defeat, when truth and fiction meet
Why nothing even turns out how you planned
These are things that I don't understand
Yeah, these are things that I don't understand
I can't, and I can't decide
Wrong, all my wrong from right
Day, all my day for night
Or dark, all my dark for light
I live, but I love this life

needs now *** Thanx a lot to
Beth for this one ***
(Chris feat. Bono on All Star Tribute)
Bono :
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Chris :
Brother, brother, brother
There's too many of you dying
You know you've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here to stay
Bono :
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
And war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
Chris :
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here to stay
Picket lines won't block our way
Bono :
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, and you can see
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Together we can be strong
Chris:
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here to stay
Picket lines won't block our way
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
What's going on, what's going on
What's going on, what's going on
What's going on, what's going on
What's going on, what's going on
Is love sweet love
No not just for some, but for everyone
Yeah the world needs now
Some love sweet love
That's the only thing that there's just too little of
( 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.
( Live )
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
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.
