" 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,
Open up your eyes,
Open up your eyes,
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,
Open up your eyes,
Open up your eyes,
Just open up your eyes

And give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhh
And give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhh
 
" In My Place "

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah
And 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 it?
Yeah, how long must you pay for it?
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
(Oh for it)

I was scared, I was scared
Tired and underprepared
But I wait for it

If you go, if you go
Leave me down here on my own
Then I'll wait for you (yeah)

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Yeah, how long must you pay for it?
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
(Oh for it)

(Sing it) Please, please, please
Come back and sing to me
To me, me

Come on and sing it out, now, now
Come on and sing it out, to me, me
Come back and sing it

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
And I was lost, oh yeah, oh yeah
 
" God Put A Smile Upon Ur Face "

Where do we go nobody knows?
I've gotta say I'm on my way down,
God give me style and give me grace,
God 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, yeah

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

Where do we go nobody knows?
Don't even say you're on your way down, (when)
God gave you style and gave you grace,
And put a smile upon your face, ah yeah

Now, when you work it out I'm worse than you,
Yeah, when you work it out I wanted to,
Now, when you work out where to draw the line,
Your guess is as good as mine,
Its as good as mine (x7)

Where do we go nobody knows?
Don't even say you're on your way down, (when)
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face
 
" The Scientist "

Come up to meet you, 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 ask 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
 
" 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)
 
" 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 (x22 to fade)
 
" 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
 
" Animals "

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
 
" 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
 
" Help Is Round The Corner "

Stuck here, in the middle of nowhere,
With a headache, and a heavy heart,
Well nothing was going quite right here,
And I'm tired, I can't play my part

Oh come on, come on,
Oh 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

Oh my head just 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,
Oh 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,
And help is just around the corner, for us,
Oh that help is just around the corner, for us
 
" No More Keeping My Feet On The Ground "

Sometimes I wake up, when I'm falling asleep,
I think that maybe the curtains are closing on me,
But I wake up,
Yes I wake up,
Smiling,

Sometimes I feel 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, when I'm falling asleep,
And I've got to get going so much that I wanted to do,
That I wake up,
Smiling,

And this could be my last chance,
Of saving the human sense,
And this could be my last chance,
No more keeping my feet on the ground,

Sometimes I feel oh the chance is surprising,
Surprisingly good to be moving around,
And I move,
And I wake up,
Smiling,

So what? I feel fine,
I feel OK, I've seen the lighter side of life,
I'm alright, I feel good,
So I'll do, well it's time to stop moving,
And this could be my last chance,
Of saving the human sense,
And this could be my last chance,
No more keeping my feet on the ground,

There's nothing to keep me x4
 
" For You "

If you're lost and feeling low,
Circumnavigate the globe,
All you ever have to hope,
For two,

And the way you seem to flow
Circumnavigate and hope,
If you seem to lose control,
Wherever you are

Everyone of us is high,
Everyone of us is low,
Everyone of us is here,
How about you?
Your eyes are closed,
Your head held low,
Your eyes are closed.

Everyone of us is high,
Everyone of us is low,
Everyone of us has hope,
For you.
 
" Brothers And Sisters "

Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters unite,
It's the time of your lives, it's the time of your lives,
Breakdown, breakdown,
Got to spread love around, got to spread love around.

Brothers and sisters feel fine,
It's the time of your life, it's the time of your life,
No sound, No sound,
Like this feeling you found, like this feeling you found,
Just stay down, cos sometimes you feel, so stay down.
Sometimes you feel.

And it's me they're looking for,
And it's me I will never survive,
But will be around so long.

Brothers and sisters unite.

Just stay down,
And sometimes you feel,
Just stay down,
And sometimes you feel,
And it's me they're looking for,
And it's me , I will never survive,
But will be round so long.
 
" Such A Ruch "

Such a rush to do nothing at all
Such a fuss to do nothing at all
Such a rush to do nothing at all
Such a rush to get nowhere at all
Such a fuss to do nothing at all
Such a rush.

And it's just like you said,
It's just like you said.

Such a rush to do nothing at all.
Such a fuss to get nowhere at all.

Such a rush X2

And it's just like you said.
It's just like you said.

Just slow down please,
Just slow down,
Just slow down please,
Just slow down.

Such a rush X15

Look at all the people going after money.
Far too many people looking for their money.
Everybody's out there, trying to get money.
Why can't you just tell me,
Try to get money, rush.

Such a rush.
They all rush.
Such a rush X7
 
" Careful Where You Stand "

I feel safe, I feel warm when you're here,
When I do no wrong,
I am cured, when I'm by your side,
I'm alright, alright.

I am safe when I am with you,
And I feel warm, if you want me to,
I am cured, when I'm by your side.

I'm alright.

Careful where you stand,
Careful where you lay your head,
It's true we're always looking out for one another.

I feel safe, when I am with you,
I feel warm, when you want me to,
I am cured when you are around.

I'm alright.

Careful where you stand,
Careful where you lay your head,
It's true we're always looking out for one another.

So I like a quiet time please,
Yeah, I like a quiet time.

Careful where you stand,
Now, careful where you stand.
 
" Easy To Please "

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.








Song Info
'Easy To Please' is a gorgeous track, so much so that you would never want to stop listening to it even though it's a good three years old. It's a simple message of love, in the same league as 'Sparks' but so much more endearing because it's an early Coldplay song and it's one of those that strikes a chord in your heart the moment you hear it. The mellow music and Chris' melancholic vocals makes this one of the saddest songs ever written by the band... we think.

It appears on the 'Brothers & Sisters EP', released in May 1999.
 
" Don't Panic "

Oh, we're sinking like stones,

All that we fought for,

All those places we've gone,

All of us are done for.



We live in a beautiful world,

Yeah we do, yeah we do,

We live in a beautiful world,

Oh, we're sinking like stones,

All that we fought for,

All those places we've gone,

All of us are done for.



We live in a beautiful world,

Yeah we do, yeah we do,

We live in a beautiful world.



Oh, all that I know,

There's nothing here to run from,

And there, everybody here's got somebody to lean on.
 
" Shiver "

So I looked in your direction,

But you paid me no attention, do you.

I know you don't listen to me.

'cause you say you see straight me, don't you.



On and on from the moment I wake,

To the moment I sleep,

I'll be there by your side,

Just you try and stop me,

I'll be waiting in line,

Just to see if you care.



Did she want me to change?

But I change for good.

And I want you to know.

But you always get your way,

I wanted to say,



(Chorus)

Don't you Shiver? Shiver, Shiver



I'll always be waiting for you,

So you know how much I need ya,

But you never even see me, do you?



And this is my final chance of getting you.



On and on from the moment I wake....

Did she want me to change?...

(Chorus)



Sing it loud and clear.

I'll always be waiting for you. (x3)

Yeah I'll always be waiting for you.



And it's you I see, but you don't see me.

And it's you I hear, so loud and clear.

I sing it loud and clear.

And I'll always be waiting for you,.



So I look in your direction,

But you pay me no attention,

And you know how much I need you,

But you never even seen me.
 
" Spies "

I awake to find no peace of mind,

I said, how do you live as a fugitive?



Down here where I cannot see so clear.



I said, what do I know?

Show me the right way to go,

And the spies came out of the water,

But you're feeling so bad cos you know,

But the spies hide out in every corner,

But you can't touch them though,

Cos they're all spies, they're all spies.



I awake to see that no one is free,

We're all fugitives,

Look at the way with it.

Down here, I cannot sleep from fear no.



I said, which way do I turn?

I forget everything I learn,

But the spies came out of the water,

But you're feeling so bad cos you know,

But the spies hide out in every corner,

But you can't touch them though,

Cos they're all spies, they're all spies.



And if we don't buy here,

They're going to find us,

If we don't buy now,

They're going to catch us where we see,

And if we don't hide here,

They're going to find us.

" SParks "

Did I drive you away?

I know what you’ll say,

You say, “Oh, sing one we know,”

But I promise you this,

I’ll always look out for you,

That’s what I’ll do.



I say “oh,”

I say “oh.”



My heart is yours,

It’s you that I hold on to,

That’s what I do,

And I know I was wrong,

But I won’t let you down,

(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah I will, yes I will…)



I say “oh,”

I cry “oh.”



Yeah I saw sparks,

Yeah I saw sparks,

And I saw sparks,

Yeah I saw sparks,

Sing it out.



La, la, la, la, oh…

La, la, la, la, oh…

La, la, la, la, oh…
