Coldplay - Fix You Cool



When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just watch and learn

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just watch and learn

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Everybody cares, everybody understands
Yes everybody cares about you
Yeah and whether or not you want them to
It's a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head
To a pure synthetic sympathy that infuriates you totally
And a quiet lie that makes you wanna scream and shout

So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Raining its guiding light upon everyone

For a moment's rest you can lean against the banister
After running upstairs again and again from wherever they came
to fix you in
but always fear the city's finest follow right behind
You got a pretty vision in your head
A pencil full of poison lead
And a sickened smoke illegal in every town

So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
Here I lay dreaming looking at the brilliant sun
Reigning its guiding light upon everyone

You say you mean well, you don't know what you mean
F**king ought to stay the hell away from things you know nothing
about

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun don't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun don'-go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize

We blew the doors didn't we?
Pissed in their champagne
And did a real thing didn't we?
Gave ourselves a name
And peeled away the shame
I wanted to explode
To pull my ribs apart
And let the sun inside
Red stain blossoms
And all you have is kisses
And when the sunshine
Throwin' me a lifeline
Finds it's way into my room
All I need is you
We called that love
All you have is kisses
And all I need is you

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, Neutral Milk Hotel
(one of the most blissfully absurdist and hauntingly beautiful songs I've ever heard)

What a beautiful face I have found
in this place
that is circling all round the sun what a beautiful
dream that could flash on the screen
in a blink of an eye
and be gone from me
soft and sweet
letme hold it close and keep it here with me
and one day we will die and our ashes will fly from the
aeroplane over the sea
but for now we are young
let us lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing we can see
love to be
in the arms
of all I'm keeping here with me


What a curious life we have found here tonight
there is music that sounds from the street there
are lights in the clouds

Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
soft and sweet
how the notes all bend and reach above
the trees
now how I remember you how
I would push my fingers through your mouth
to make those muscles move
that made your voice so smooth and sweet
and now we keep where we don't know
all secrets sleep in winter clothes
with one you loved so long ago
now he don't even know his name

what a beautiful face I
have found in this place that is circling all round
the sun and when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
can't believe how strange it is
to be anything at all

PS-Bulsajo, bravo on the Flaming Lips citation, seriously

Had we never come across the vastness of pavement,
The barrenness of waves and the grayness of the sea;
Never lost, or ne'er been misguided,
We'd have ne'er reached seas so shining --

Or come from out of a hansom in Camden to a bar in the basement,
While all the while it rained;
Or come around to the friendliest of faces,
Handsomest in ugly places --

Or come from out of the tunnels we dig in
To see that tunneling�s not living
And working doesn't work;
Or come to find that loving is labor,
Labor's life and life's forever --

Or come to see that keeping's not giving,
You get what you've given,
You get what you deserve;
And in the midst of all of the action,
Maybe only there found satisfaction...

Chasing sea-foam dreams around another dirty old town;
Parallel run streams toward the gray ocean from the green ground;
"Oed' und leer, das meer," but look beneath the glassy surface --
All the songs you hear: down there they have a purpose.

All in all, we cannot stop singing,
We cannot start sinking --
We swim until it ends.
They may kill, and we may we parted
But we will ne'er be broken-hearted.

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down South
They go no work to do


Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.


All last night sat on the levee and moaned, Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home.

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows

Super Furry Animals - Juxtaposed with U Cool



It's easy when you know how
To get along without Biff! Bang! Pow!
And if I see that you're fed up
I'll stop and give you a leg up
Over-priced unreal estate, surreal estate

The highest price they've hit to date
Creating new divides and tension

You've got to tolerate
All those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you

You've got to tolerate
Some of those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you

This is a tale of two situations
Mutual appreciation
Away from narrow preconception
Avoiding conflict hypertension
Non-phobic word aerobic
This was my domain
'Til someone stole my name

You've got to tolerate
All those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you

You've got to tolerate
Some of those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you

Let's get juxtaposed, juxtaposed
Just suppose I juxtapose with you
(I wanna get juxtaposed with you)

Let's get juxtaposed, juxtaposed
Just suppose I juxtapose with you
(I wanna get juxtaposed with you)

Let's get juxtaposed, juxtaposed
Just suppose I juxtapose with you
(I wanna get juxtaposed with you)

Let's get juxtaposed, juxtaposed
Just suppose I juxtapose with you
(I wanna get juxtaposed with you)

You've got to tolerate
All those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you

You've got to tolerate
Some of those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you

Let's get juxtaposed, juxtaposed
Just suppose I juxtapose with you
(I wanna get juxtaposed with you)

Let's get juxtaposed
