1. Politik
Look at earth from outer space,
Everyone must find a 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
Open up your eyes (x 3)
Just open up your eyes
Give me one, cause 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
Open up your eyes (x 3)
Just open up your eyes
And give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhh (x 2)

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
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,

I'm going back to the start
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 (x 6),
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 (x 4)
Tides that I tried to swim against,
You've put me down upon my knees,

6. Daylight
To my surprise, and my daylight,
I saw sun rise, I saw sunlight,
I am nothing, in the dark,
And the clouds burst to show a daylight,
Oooooo and the sun shines, Yeaaahhh on this star of mine,
Oooooo and I realise, Oooooo couldn't live without,
Oooooo couldn't part without it
On a hill top, on a sky rise,
Like a first born, child,
At a full tilt, and at full flight
You see darkness, in the daylight
Oooooo and the sun shines, Yeaaahhh on this star of mine,
Oooooo and I realise, Oooooo couldn't be without,
Oooooo couldn't part without, daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight (x 22)
I saw sun rise, I saw sunlight,
I am nothing, in the dark,
And the clouds burst to show a daylight,
Oooooo and the sun shines, Yeaaahhh on this star of mine,
Oooooo and I realise, Oooooo couldn't live without,
Oooooo couldn't part without it
On a hill top, on a sky rise,
Like a first born, child,
At a full tilt, and at full flight
You see darkness, in the daylight
Oooooo and the sun shines, Yeaaahhh on this star of mine,
Oooooo and I realise, Oooooo couldn't be without,
Oooooo couldn't part without, daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight (x 22)
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

10. A rush of blood to the head
You said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down,
I'm gonna put it six feet underground,
You said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall,
Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls,
Oh I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire,
Stand here until I fill all your hearts desires,
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn,
And do back the things it did to you in return
You said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war,
If you can tell me something worth fighting for,
Oh and I'm gonna buy this place is what I said,
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Honey, all the movements you're starting to make,
See me crumble and fall on my face,
And I know the mistakes that I've 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,
Start as you need to go on,
Start as you need to go on
Said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go,
Stand here beside me baby, watch the orange glow,
Some'll laugh and some just sit and cry,
You just sit down there and you wonder why,
So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war,
If you can tell me something worth fighting for,
I'm gonna buy this place is what I said,
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head,
Oh to the head
Coz' honey, all the movements you're starting to make,
See me crumble and fall on my face,
And I know the mistakes that I've 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,
As you need to go on
As you need to go on
So meet me by the bridge,
Meet me by the lane,
When am I gonna see that pretty face again,
Oh meet me on the road,
Meet me where I said,
Blame it all upon a rush of blood to the head
I'm gonna put it six feet underground,
You said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall,
Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls,
Oh I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire,
Stand here until I fill all your hearts desires,
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn,
And do back the things it did to you in return
You said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war,
If you can tell me something worth fighting for,

11. Amsterdam
Come on, oh my star is fading,
And 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, its 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 am screaming underneath
And time is on your side, its on your side, now
Not pushing you down, and all around,
No it's no cause for concern
Stuck on the end of this ball and chain,
And I'm on my way back down again,
Stood on the edge, tied to the noose,
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean,
But it won't change a thing,
I'm sick of the secrets,
Stood on the edge, tied to the noose,
And you came along and you cut me loose,
You came along and you cut me loose,
You came along and you cut me loose
And 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, its 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 am screaming underneath
And time is on your side, its on your side, now
Not pushing you down, and all around,
No it's no cause for concern
Stuck on the end of this ball and chain,
And I'm on my way back down again,
Stood on the edge, tied to the noose,
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean,
But it won't change a thing,
I'm sick of the secrets,
Stood on the edge, tied to the noose,
And you came along and you cut me loose,
You came along and you cut me loose,
You came along and you cut me loose
