1. 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
Tell me your own politik

And open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

Give me one, cos one is best
In confusion, confidence
Give me piece of mind and trust
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
Tell me your own politik

And open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes

You give me love over
Love over
Love over this, I'm...
And give me love over
Love over
Love over this, I'm...


2. 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,
Leaving me here on my own,
Well 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?

Please, please, please,
Come on and sing to me,
To me, me.

Come on and sing it out, out, out.
Come on and sing it now, now, now.
Come on and sing it.

In my place, in my place,
Were lines that I couldn't change,
I was lost, oh yeah.
Oh yeah.


3. GOD PUT A SMILE UPON YOUR FACE

Where do we go, nobody knows
I've gotta say I'm on my way down
God gave me style and gave me grace
And put a smile upon my face

Where do we go to draw the line
I've gotta say, I wasted all your time, oh honey honey
Where do I go to fall from grace
God put a smile upon your face, aww yeah

Ahh when you work it out I'm worse than you
Yeah when we work it out, I wanted to
Now when we work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine...

Where do we go, nobody knows
Don't ever say you're on your way down, well
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face


4. THE SCIENTIST

Come up to meet ya, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need ya
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and nurse me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming in tails
Heads on 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 the 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
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Ooooohhhhhhh {x4}


5. CLOCKS

Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
You've put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead (singing)
Come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple of my head (and a)
Trouble that can't 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, that you now know (singing)
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities (am I)
A part of the cure, or am I part of the disease (singing)

You are {x6}
And nothing else compares
Oh no nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

You are [continues in background]
Home, home, where I wanted to go {x4}


6. DAYLIGHT

To my sunk eyes
On my daylight
I saw a sunrise
I saw a sunlight.

I have nothing
In the dark
And the clouds burst
To show the daylight

Oooh and the sunshine
Yeah on a starry night
Ooooh and I realized
Ooooh could I live without
Ooooh could I part without

On a hill top
On the sky rise
Like a first born
Child

On a full day
On a full flight
I feel darkness
In the daylight

Oooh and the sunshine
Yeah on a starry night
Ooooh and I realized
Ooooh could I live without
Ooooh could I part without
daylight

Slowly breaking through the daylight...


7. GREEN EYES

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I came 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, you're 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
Oh oh oh oh [x4]

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand


8. WARNING SIGN

A warning sign
I missed the good part then I realized
I started looking and the bubble burst
I started looking for excuses

Come on in, I've got to tell you what a state I'm in
I've got to tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign

When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
That I miss you so
A warning sign

You came back to haunt me and I realized
That you were an island and I passed you by
When you were an island to discover

Come on in, I've got to tell you what a state I'm in
I've got to tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign

And the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
I miss you so
And I'm tired
I should not have let you go

So I crawl back into your open 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


9. A WHISPER

A whisper {x4}
A whisper {x4}

I hear the sound of a ticking of clocks,
Remember your face, so remember t'see where you are gone,
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, whisper, whisper, whisper {x2}

Night turns to day and I still have these questions,
Who just could blame, shall I go forwards or backwards?
And not since today and I still get no answers

Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper {x2}

Now I hear the sound of a ticking of clocks,
Remember your face, and remember see where you are gone,
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, whisper, whisper, whisper {x2}


10. A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD

I said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down
yeah, I'm gonna put it six feet underground
I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
do back the things it did to you in return

I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
yeah, I'm gonna fulfill all of your hearts desire
I'm gonna buy this place if you stick around
yeah, I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down

cause honey
all the movements are starting to make
see them crumble before my face
and I know the mistakes that I made
see it all disappear without a trace
and they call as they beckon you on
[they say start if you need to go on]

so I'm gonna buy this place and watch it go
oh stand here beside me baby, watch the orange grow
oh I'm gonna buy this place and stick around
oh sit here and watch as each wall comes down

I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
oh if you can tell me something worth fighting for
oh I'm gonna buy this place if you stick around
yeah I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down
burn it down

cause honey
all the movements are starting to make
see them crumble before my face
and I know the mistakes that I made
see it all disappear without a trace
and they call as they beckon you on
[they say start as you need to go on]

so meet me by the bridge
meet me by the lane
when am I gonna see your pretty face again
oh meet me on the road
oh meet me on the grounds
cause we're gonna buy this place and we're gonna burn it down


11. AMSTERDAM

Come on, oh my star is fading
I swerve out of control
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 swerve 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
Not 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'm screaming underneath

And time is on your side
It's on your side, now
Not pushing you down
And all around
Oh, 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 the edge
Tied to a noose
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean
But it won't change a sin
I'm sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge, tied to a noose
and you came along but you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
