1. Spiralling4:20

   Letra

   I'm waiting for my moment to come I'm waiting for the movie to begin I'm waiting for a revelation I'm waiting for someone to count me in Because now I only see my dreams in everything I touch Feel their cold hands on everything that I love Cold like some magnificent skyline Out of my reach but always in my eye line Now we're tumbling down We're spiralling Tied up to the ground We're spiralling I fashioned you from jewels and stone I made you in the image of myself I gave you everything you wanted So you would never know anything else But every time I reach for you, you slip through my fingers Into cold sunlight, laughing at the things that I had planned The map of my world gets smaller as I sit here Pulling at the loose threads Now we're tumbling down We're spiralling Tied up to the ground We're spiralling When we fall in love We're just falling In love with ourselves We're spiralling Did you want to be a winner? Did you want to be an icon? Did you want to be famous? Did you want to be the president? Did you want to start a war? Did you want to have a family? Did you want to be in love? Did you want to be in love? I never saw the light I never saw the light I waited up all night But I never saw the light When we fall in love We're just falling In love with ourselves We're spiralling We're tumbling down We're spiralling Tied up to the ground We're spiralling

   I dreamed I was drowning In the river Thames I dreamed I had nothing at all Nothing but my own skin (I dreamed I was drifting On the howling wind I dreamed I had nothing at all Nothing but my own skin) Slipped away from your open hands Into river Saw your face looking back at me I saw my past, and I saw my future You take the pieces of the dreams that you have Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going You cut them up and spread them out on the floor You're full of hope as you begin rearranging Put it all back together But any way you look at this Looks like The lovers are losing I dreamed I was watching The young lovers dance I reached out to touch your hair But I was watching from a distance We cling to love like a skidding car Clings to a corner I tried to hold onto what we are The more I squeeze, the quicker we're over You take the pieces of the dreams that you have Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going You cut them up and spread them out on the floor You're full of hope as you begin rearranging Put it all back together But any way you look at this Looks like The lovers are losing I dreamed I had nothing at all; Nothing but my own skin (I dreamed I had nothing at all; Nothing but my own skin I dreamed I had nothing at all; Nothing but my own skin) I dreamed I had nothing at all; Nothing at all (You take the pieces of the dreams that you have Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going You cut them up and spread them out on the floor You're full of hope as you begin rearranging Put it all back together But any way you look at this Looks like The lovers are losing) You take the pieces of the dreams that you have Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going You cut them up and spread them out on the floor You're full of hope as you begin rearranging Put it all back together But in the final reckoning Looks like The lovers are losing
3. Better than this4:04

   Letra

   Is this what you meant? Is this What you dreamed of? When you were making Your plans Shaking the dirt off? Do you feel like you And I belong? (Oh, ah, oh) Just keep your eyes On the road And nothing can go wrong You could do so much Better than this You could do so much Better than this I've been checking my sums Oh where did the time go? Holding my photograph up To the window Through the paper A refracted sun (Oh, ah, oh) I can see all the things I wish that I'd done You can hang your hopes On the bedsits masses You can put your faith In the foreign You can tell yourself You can do your best You could do so much Better than this Get a grip on yourself Get a grip on yourself Could have been something But you're too late And you Wouldn't want it anyway Just a photograph From the wrong time 'Cause there Is no soap star Holding your hand You can see yourself In a freeze-frame Must be someone else Using your name And everyone Will be the same And everyone will __ And everywhere You'll see your name In every shop window It's better than this You could do so much Better than this You could do so much Better than this You could do so much Better than this

   I shake through the wreckage for signs of life Scrolling through the paragraphs Clicking through the photographs I wish I could make sense of what we do Burning down the capitols Wisest of the animals Who are you? What are you living for? Tooth for tooth. Maybe we'll go one more This life is lived in perfect symmetry What I do that will be done to me Read page after page of analysis Looking for the final score We're no closer than we were before Who are you? What are you fighting for? Holy truth? Brother, I choose this mortal life Lived in perfect symmetry What I do that will be done to me As the needle slips into the run-out groove Love, maybe you feel it too And maybe you'll find, Life is unkind And over so soon There is no golden gate There's no heaven waiting for you Oh, boy, you ought to leave this town Get out while you can The needle's running out The voices in the streets you love Everything is better when you hear that shout Spineless dreamers hide in churches Pieces of pieces of rush-hour buses I dream in e-mails, worn-out phrases Mile after mile of just empty pages Wrap yourself around me Wrap yourself around me As the needle slips into the run-out groove Maybe I'll feel it too Maybe you'll feel it too Maybe you'll feel it too Maybe you'll feel it too I dream in e-mails, worn-out phrases Mile after mile of just empty pages
6. You don' t see me4:03
7. Again and again3:50

   Letra

   Was it all in real time or was it just in my mind? Was I just a ghost passing through you Clinging to the wreckage, till I got the message? Hanging at the edge of the room Give me something that's real Give me half of your bitterest pill Something from under the surface you actually feel We say these words again and again But they still sound the same It was in your eyes, in your eyes They were just easy lies The lightest words are heavy and promises are easy And no one's ever happy or sad for very long Well just because I said it, it doesn't mean I meant it I guess that was the way all along I'm just shaping the sound I'm just turning the syllables round Dipping my toe in the water and watching you drown We say these words again and again But they still sound the same It was in my eyes, in my eyes They were just easy lies And we've been a long time waiting And it's been a lifetime in the making We said "When you are alone and afraid I will come to your aid" Well was it just a dream, just a dream? Because it was real to me We say these words again and again But they still sound the same We say these words again and again And again and again
8. Playing along5:35

   Letra

   At the start of the news day, the fires begin In words and in pictures, but I'm not listening I'm not taking it in I'm going to go to the country, where nothing goes on Going to bury my head, where I can't hear the sound of bombs Playing along Me, I'm just playing along You and I, so many good people all Just playing along I'm going to go to a bar, where is the jukebox is on Going to shut out the noise, with a rock'n'roll song Playing along I'm going to turn up the volume I'm going to turn up the volume I'm going to turn up the volume Till I can't even think Tell us a tale of the proud and the free Sing us a swingtime American melody From 'Follow The Fleet' Me, I'm just playing along You and I, a billion people all Just playing along I'm going to turn up the volume I'm going to turn up the volume I'm going to turn up the volume Till I can't even think I'm going to turn up the volume I'm going to turn up the volume I'm going to turn up the volume Till I can't even think I'm going to turn up the volume Till I can't even think I'm going to turn up the volume Till I can't even think I'm going to turn up the volume Till I can't even think I'm going to turn up the volume Till I can't even think I'm going to turn up the volume Till I can't even think I'm going to turn up the volume Till I can't even think I'm going to turn up the volume Till I can't even think
9. Pretend that you' re alone3:47
10. Black burning heart5:24

    Letra

    I wish that I could be In the cellars of the sea And disappear in them Never to be seen again Leave this life Its unrelenting appetite For feeding off the weak Who never had their turn to speak The sky will be my shroud A monument of cloud If we could turn back You can paper over the crack But it will return now And your heart will burn black Give me your hand Cut the skin, let me in The molecules of us Bleeding into one again The sky will be my shroud A cenotaph of cloud If we could turn back You can paper over the crack But it will return now And your heart will burn black Forgotten my way home Forgotten everything that I know Every day a false start And it burns my heart I know everything you said was right and I suppose Everything is here forever till it goes You gave it all away, kept nothing for yourself Just a picture on the shelf Je souhaiterai m'immerger dans les profondeurs des mers Y disparaître pour ne plus jamais être vu Burning up Now I'm racing down a road I don't recognise I realise I've forgotten my way home Forgotten everything that I know Every day a false start And it burns my heart Turn back
11. Love is the end5:37

    Letra

    Now is the time of our comfort and plenty These are the days we've been working for Nothing can touch us and nothing can harm us No, nothing goes wrong anymore Singing a song with your feet on the dashboard A cigarette streaming into the night These are the things that I want to remember I want to remember you by They won't come again Because love is the end Oh no, my friend Love is the end I took off my clothes and I ran to the ocean Looking for somewhere to start anew And when I was drowning in that holy water All I could think of was you Woah, my friend Love is the end So best not pretend Because love is the end Take it back, don't let it die Or rage against the fall of night Because I still do, depend on you So don't say those words, you wrung me through Woah, oh oh Love is the end So best not pretend Because love is the end So I tread the only road The only road I know Nowhere to go but home Nowhere to go Maybe our time is up But still you can't abandon All the principles of love Don't say those words Don't say those words
