Keane – Playing Along

At a start of a news day, a fires begin
In difference and in pictures, though I’m not listening
I’m not holding it in
I’m going to go to a country, where zero goes on
Going to bury my head, where we can’t hear a sound of bombs
Playing along

Me, I’m only personification along
You and I, so many good people all
Just personification along

I’m going to go to a bar, where is a jukebox is on
Going to close out a noise, with a rock’n’roll song
Playing along

I’m going to spin adult a volume
I’m going to spin adult a volume
I’m going to spin adult a volume
Till we can’t even think

Tell us a story of a unapproachable and a free
Sing us a swingtime American melody
From ‘Follow The Fleet’

Me, I’m only personification along
You and I, a billion people all
Just personification along

I’m going to spin adult a volume
I’m going to spin adult a volume
I’m going to spin adult a volume
Till we can’t even think
I’m going to spin adult a volume
I’m going to spin adult a volume
I’m going to spin adult a volume
Till we can’t even think
I’m going to spin adult a volume
Till we can’t even think

I’m going to spin adult a volume
Till we can’t even think
I’m going to spin adult a volume
Till we can’t even think
I’m going to spin adult a volume
Till we can’t even think
I’m going to spin adult a volume
Till we can’t even think

I’m going to spin adult a volume
Till we can’t even think
I’m going to spin adult a volume
Till we can’t even think

Keane – You Don’t See Me

Like pleasing dawns, all done adult and bright
Radiant people, in splintering light
All relocating during a speed of life
Reflecting in any others’ eyes
But you’re relocating so fast
Through this pleasing scene
You don’t see me
You don’t see me

Oh truly we are, a advantageous few
Who spin on your axis, revolve around you
All spinning outwards from your sun
Passing your thoughtfulness on
In your precipitate to grasp
Everything we see
You don’t see me
You don’t see me
You don’t see me
No, we don’t see me

Such a pleasing view
I theory you’ve seen it all
But you
You see zero during all
Such a pleasing view
Shining so bright

Shining so bright
So bright

All relocating during a speed of life
Reflecting in any others’ eyes
But you’re relocating with such overwhelming speed
You don’t see me
You don’t see me
You don’t see me
No, we don’t see me
No, we don’t see me
Oh oh…Oooo, ooo…

Keane – You Are Young

Fearful child have faith in brighter days
Stay until this darkness fades away
Lay still besides me!
I’ll hold you know, I’ll hold you forever.
Winter’s hand will freeze your heart again
Doors will close, no time to start again
Nothing is given except the ties that orders together
Lay down your love, cause every day is gonna grow
And … in the sunshine try to pay no mind,
try to pay no mind at all
To all the things that you don’t know
You’ve got time to realize
you’re shielded by the hands of love
Cause you are young!

Fading like me, make a fool of me
Courage fails… slip away from me
Lie still besides me, and hold me now, and hold me forever
Cause every day it’s gonna grow
These days are sacred, and don’t be scared,
baby don’t be scared at all!
Of all the things that you don’t know
You’ve got time to realize
you’re shielded by the hands of love
Cause you are young!
You’ve got time, you gotta try to bring some good into this world
Cause you are young, cause you are young!
Oh, oh, oh, oh

KEANE – Watch How You Go

The more we rush about, the less we do,
I never saw you drift away.
The more we spin around, the less we move,
I never saw your spirit break.

I wish that I could be your journey’s end
But you are only passing through, yeah.
It’s not for me to try to steer your way,
I wish you well in all you do.

Just say you’ll watch how you go,
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now.
Just say you’ll mind how you roam,
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now.

I hope you know that you’re a graceful soul,
You fill the room with hope and light.
It’s only right that you should go your way,
Cause nothing ever lasts that long.

Just say you’ll watch how you go,
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now.
Just say you’ll mind how you roam,
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now.
Behind now… behind now… behind now.

Just say you’ll watch how you go,
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now.
Just say you’ll mind how you roam,
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now.

Oooo, oooo, oooo, oooo, oooo,
The things that we have shared,
Will still remain behind now.

KEANE – The Starting Line

This town was a lovers stage, but now you can’t recognize
The street lights that are daggers to your eyes

You can’t find your bearings, you’re slipping into the ground
This scene has no color and no sound

You still believe in me, after the things I’ve done,
You fear for what we have become

The ground is uneven, we stumble from day to day
Took shelter where it’s easy,
I know your feet are like lead but you’ve gotta get on the way.

Drag your heart up to the starting line,
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It’s too easy to get left behind.
I know you’ve been kicked around,
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me

Each heart is a paper kite blown around by the breeze,
But love won’t rest till it brings you to your knees.

Some find it easy, some will never even know,
You think you’ve done your journey
Then you stumble and burn but there’s such a long way to go.

Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It’s too easy to get left behind
I know you’ve been kicked around,
You wanna be lost and not be found,
Let’s take the back way into town
And drink to the bad times, lay them down on me.

Girl I still believe in you, you’re too good to fall so low
We’re gonna find a better life I know
Things will be clearer, and soon as we make a start,
We’ll be that much nearer
We’re too old to just stand here waiting to break apart

Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It’s too easy to get left behind,
I know you’ve been kicked around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me, on me, on me.

Keane – The Lovers Are Losing

I dreamed we was drowning
In a stream Thames
I dreamed we had zero during all
Nothing though my possess skin

(I dreamed we was drifting
On a utterance wind
I dreamed we had zero during all
Nothing though my possess skin)

Slipped divided from your open hands
Into river
Saw your face looking behind during me
I saw my past, and we saw my future

You take a pieces of a dreams that we have
Cos we don’t like a approach they seem to be going
You cut them adult and widespread them out on a floor
You’re full of wish as we start rearranging
Put it all behind together
But any approach we demeanour during this
Looks like
The lovers are losing

I dreamed we was watching
The immature lovers dance
I reached out to reason your hair
But we was examination from a distance

We adhere to adore like a skidding car
Clings to a corner
I attempted to reason onto what we are
The some-more we squeeze, a quicker we’re over

You take a pieces of a dreams that we have
Cos we don’t like a approach they seem to be going
You cut them adult and widespread them out on a floor
You’re full of wish as we start rearranging
Put it all behind together
But any approach we demeanour during this
Looks like
The lovers are losing

I dreamed we had zero during all; Nothing though my possess skin
(I dreamed we had zero during all; Nothing though my possess skin
I dreamed we had zero during all; Nothing though my possess skin)
I dreamed we had zero during all; Nothing during all

(You take a pieces of a dreams that we have
Cos we don’t like a approach they seem to be going
You cut them adult and widespread them out on a floor
You’re full of wish as we start rearranging
Put it all behind together
But any approach we demeanour during this
Looks like
The lovers are losing)

You take a pieces of a dreams that we have
Cos we don’t like a approach they seem to be going
You cut them adult and widespread them out on a floor
You’re full of wish as we start rearranging
Put it all behind together
But in a final reckoning
Looks like
The lovers are losing

KEANE – The Boys

The boys are grinning from the photograph
It’s Friday night and they’re trying so hard
The sun is dropping and they want to go
Driving into town to see some girls they know

The boys, blazing on a summer night
Girls they want to watch them ride
Is that the way it was before?
Cause I don’t remember
Boys, friends at every bar in town
Running all the good days down
Is that the way it was before?
Cause I don’t remember

We felt like fighters when we caught the plane
Until that day we’d never heard its name
We did some things we didn’t understand
And now we feel like strangers in our own land

The boys, blazing on a summer night
Girls they want to watch them fight
Is that the way it was before?
Cause I can’t remember
Boys, friends at every bar in town
Running all the good days down
Is that the way it was before?
Cause I can’t remember

This photograph, I hold it when I sleep
Cause people soon stop asking
When I cannot explain what I have seen
And at the bars in town
All the boys in town
Are running all the good days down
Running all the good days down
Running all the good days down
All the good days down

KEANE – Strangeland

Lover I remember
Laying out a map
Throwing our possessions
In the van

Your tapes piled on the backseat
And a camera in your hand
Dressed for our arrival
In the Strangeland

Strangeland blind
You got no reason, you got no rhyme
You give no time
To put things right [x2]

You drove across the border
As the winter rains ran dry
And only fateful birdsong
Filled the sky

You threw your head back screaming
As we raced across wet sand
And lept into the waters
Of the Strangeland

Strangeland blind
You got no reason, you got no rhyme
You give no time
To put things right [x2]

You wound the rope around me
And you pulled the knots in tight
And shook me like a bad dream
From your sight

And now the things I’ve done to forget you
Well it’s not what I had planned
The sweetest thoughts get twisted
In the Strangeland

Strangeland blind
You got no reason, you got no rhyme
You give no time to put things right
To put things-

Strangeland dreams
You tore my baby away from me
We get no time
To put things right [x2]

You give no time
To put things right [x4]

KEANE – Sovereign Light Cafe

I’m going back to a time when we owned this town
Down Powdermill lane in the battlegrounds
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns

I didn’t know I was finding out how I’d be torn from you
When we talked about things we were gonna do
We were wide-eyed dreamers and wiser too

We’d go down to the rides on east parade,
By the lights of the palace arcade
And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

I’m begging you for some sign,
But you’ve still got nothing to say
Don’t turn your back on me, don’t walk away
I’m a better man now than I was that day.

Let’s go down to the rides on east parade,
By the lights of the palace arcade
And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

Let’s go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
To take turns as the stars of the Sovereign Light Café

I wheel my bike off the train,
Up the North Trade Road,
And look for you on Marley Lane
In every building, in every street side
Oh, why did we ever go so far from home?

Well, you got nothing to hide,
You can’t change who you really are,
You can get a big house and a faster car
You can run away, boy, but you won’t go far.

Let’s go down to the rides on east parade,
By the lights of the palace arcade
And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

Let’s go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
To take turns as the stars of the Sovereign Light Café

Sha la la la la la la la ay, yeah,
I’m going where the people know my name

KEANE - Somewhere Only We Know

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I’ve been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don’t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don’t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go?
So why don’t we go?

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

KEANE – Silenced By The Night

In a city like mine, there’s no point in fighting
I close my eyes, see you and me driving
If I am a river, you are the ocean
Got the radio on, got the wheels in motion

[Chorus]
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, we’re gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to then

I lie in the dark, I feel I’m falling
Feel your hand on my back, hear your voice calling
I’m out of my depth girl, stick close to me
Because the people in this town, they look straight through me

[Chorus]
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, we’re gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to then

Cause baby I’m not scared of this world when you’re here
And baby I’m not scared of this world when you’re here

Oh oh oh
You and I we’re gonna rise again
Oh oh oh
You and I, we’re gonna rise again
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, we’re gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to then

KEANE – Sea Fog

The sun bleeds in,
Hear the magpies sing for sorrow
It makes things better
Maybe we’ll get to spread
Our wings tomorrow
If luck will let us
Can anyone fly into these grey skies?
Is there somewhere I’m meant to be?

Sea fog comes like a river
Rolls a stone it’s rolling me

I missed my turn,
In the dark I hear your voice
It makes things easy
I’ve strayed too far from the road
Wish you could always make things easy
And I won’t fight through the rising tide
If that’s the way it has to be

Sea fog comes like a river
Rolls a stone it’s rolling me
Sea fog comes like a river
Rolls a stone it’s rolling me

Sea fog rolling
Sea fog rolling
Sea fog rolling

KEANE – Run With Me

Well you could write it in the dirt girl
Write it on a ten pound note
Everything that I have learned so far
Nothing’s worth knowing till you know your part

Times are getting leaner
If ever you were on my side
Oh how I wish that you were stood here now
Leading me to shelter when the night comes down

“Baby” you said, “We’re not ever gonna go home.”
And “Baby, will you run with me wherever I go?”

Well it’s the pressure of the years girl
Burning little holes in love
Till we make every little thing so hard
Nothing comes easy to a cage-like heart

Now the light is failing
If ever you were at my side
Then love I need you to be stood there now
Down to the wire where the bad ones go

“Baby” you said, “We’re not ever gonna go home.”
And “Baby, will you run with me wherever I go?”
Well maybe those words never really mattered at all
But lately those words run with me wherever I go.

“Baby” you said, “We’re not ever gonna go home.”
And “Baby, will you run with me wherever I go?”

“Baby” you said, “We’re not ever gonna go home.”
And “Baby, will you run with me wherever I go?”

Keane – Pretend That You’re Alone

We are only a monkeys, who fell out of a trees
We are blisters on a earth
We are not a flowers, we’re a slaying weeds
In a meadow

And adore is only a approach of looking out for ourselves
When we don’t wish to live alone
So step into a vacuum, rip off your clothes
And be innate again

Pretend that you’re alone now
And everything’s gone
Just animal reflex
There’s noone looking on
Forget about fashion
Forget about a law
Pretend that you’re alone now

I consternation what I’d do, if we could arise adult each morning
With a purify slate
I’d bake by a cities, I’d rip by a towns
Cos there’s no deals to make
So mangle out of a cages, a ethereal structures
We adhere to all a lives
Cos we are only a monkeys, who fell out of a trees
When we were perplexing to fly

Pretend that you’re alone now
And everything’s gone
Just primal desire
No right and no wrong
Forget about a future
Forget about blame
Pretend that you’re alone now
Pretend that you’re alone now

She’s not watchful for tomorrow
And she has no adore in her eyes
Oh no, we wanna come down right now
But oh no(?), we wanna get out right now

Oh oh!

Pretend that you’re alone now
And everything’s gone
Just animal reflex
There’s noone looking on
Forget about religion
Forget about shame
Pretend that you’re alone now

No numbers in your phone now
There’s zero going on
Just primal desire
No right and no wrong
Forget about fashion
Forget about fame
Pretend that you’re alone now
Pretend that you’re alone now
Pretend that you’re alone now

Do do do do…

Keane – Playing Along

At a start of a news day, a fires begin
In difference and in pictures, though I’m not listening
I’m not holding it in
I’m going to go to a country, where zero goes on
Going to bury my head, where we can’t hear a sound of bombs
Playing along

Me, I’m only personification along
You and I, so many good people all

Keane – You Haven’t Told Me Anything

In a pearl grey room one afternoon
One afternoon what are we going to do?
I hang on your difference though there’s zero new

You take a pleasing thing
Pull off a wing, lift off a wing
A reserve pin
They never gleam utterly as splendid again

But we haven’t told me anything
That we didn’t already know
No we haven’t pronounced a singular thing
That we didn’t already know

Everything we adore is stranded in a mud
Stuck in a mud, stranded in a rut
Not a square in your nonplus or a paper cut

So same time subsequent week
A lick on a cheek, lick on a cheek
And contend after me
Everything’s tied adult good and neat

But we haven’t told me anything
That we didn’t already know
No we haven’t sole me anything
That we didn’t already own

I feel for you
I unequivocally do
Nothing turns out
like we wish it to
No difference can mend
This repair I’m in
Hearing those words
That I’ll never play
Right between a eyes
I don’t feel a thing

But we haven’t told me anything
That we didn’t already know
No we haven’t pronounced a singular thing
That we didn’t already know

No we haven’t told me anything
No we haven’t told me anything
No we haven’t told me anything
No we haven’t told me anything

KEANE – On The Road

Have you been feeling that pull?
And are you hearing that call?
‘Cause you’ve got everything that you need to make a start

I had a dream of my own
Just walking out of my home
And going I don’t know where to sing beneath the stars

Your whole life lies ahead
It’s just around the bend

So when the sun is coming up and you go
And there’s still so many things you don’t know
Don’t you look back, I’ve no doubt that I
Will see you on the road

When the world’s laying you low
Why don’t you let me carry your load?
When things get bad you know you have a friend
All along the road

And I would love it sometime
If you would walk at my side
Going I don’t know where to sleep beneath the stars

If in your life you need a hand
Reaching the promised land

So when the sun is coming up and you go
And there’s still so many things you don’t know
Don’t you look back, I’ve no doubt that I
Will see you on the road

When the world’s laying you low
Why don’t you let me carry your load?
When things get bad you know you have a friend
All along the road
All along the road

Golden light lies ahead
It’s just around the bend

So when the sun is coming up and you go
And there’s still so many things you don’t know
Don’t you look back, I’ve no doubt that I
Will see you on the road

When the world’s laying you low
Why don’t you let me carry your load?
When things get bad you know you have a friend
All along the road

So when the sun is coming up and you go
And there’s still so many things you don’t know
Don’t you look back, I’ve no doubt that I
Will meet you on the road

When the world’s laying you low
Don’t you let it rattle your bones
Sometimes a dream itself can keep you safe
All along the road
All along the road
All along the road
All along the road

Keane – Neon River

Well you were happy where you were
but that girl you..in
this time was never good enough
’cause she was gone and see everything
and if you ever spoke of love
she just smile and put you down
’cause she was making all the plans
she had a vision of light and sound

Chorus:
She said the neon on the river will light my way
and all the things that we’ve been dreaming of a making them real one day
so save our money pack your bags
we better run before we disappear
she took the train into the city but you’re still here

You hear a song that takes you back
a song long for God tonight
and friends who said they hang your back
but they just turning round and let you fight
and I’ma balling ..all
you used all your smartest minds
but they can painted over now
looks like here gonna get behind

Chorus:
She said the neon on the river will light my way
and all the things that we’ve been dreaming of a making them real one day
so save our money pack your bags
I wanna run with you on Stamford hill
she took the ..int o the city but you stood still

You stood still about the tramp
you knew as you watched her go
that she wan never coming back
and start to places that you know
you said you scared if I and I ..to go
where everyone else go

[Chorus:]

KEANE – Myth

You built it up brick by brick
Put your heart into this baseless myth
Nurtured it like a child
And dressed its wounds when it ran wild

You stopped to fix your face
Someone else stepped in and took your place
Now everything you once knew
Is running circles around you

A car door slamming in your road
It jolts you like a kick inside
A year old message on your phone
That catches you when you can’t hide

I see you in the service station sign
I see you in the supermarket line
I see you silhouetted on a wall
But I don’t see myself there at all

This vessel of Balsa wood
Is the fag end tail of amoeba-hood
The busying cast confer
And get their taste of the drama

You stare through mindless daytime shows
And curse yourself for growing old
The sterile scent of shaving foam
Reminds you of another world

I see you in the roofless sombre sky
I see you when the lovers stop outside
I see you silhouetted on a wall
But I don’t see myself there at all

I see you in the sweetness of our child
I see you in the supermarket aisle
I see you when I’m kneeling on the floor
But I can’t see myself anymore

Hard times got the upper hand
Stole our feeble plans
The faces, shot me, spin me round
But I won’t lie down

Hard times shake me to the bone
Face bruised, bloody nose
Shell shocked, crawling on the ground
Still I won’t lie down

No I won’t lie down
No I won’t lie down
I won’t lie down

Keane – Love Is The End

Now is a time of a comfort and plenty
These are a days we’ve been operative for
Nothing can hold us and zero can mistreat us
No, zero goes wrong anymore

Singing a strain with your feet on a dashboard
A cigarette streaming into a night
These are a things that we wish to remember
I wish to remember we by

They won’t come again
Because adore is a end
Oh no, my friend
Love is a end

I took off my garments and we ran to a ocean
Looking for somewhere to start anew
And when we was drowning in that holy water
All we could consider of was you

Woah, my friend
Love is a end
So best not pretend
Because adore is a end

Take it back, don’t let it die
Or fury opposite a tumble of night
Because we still do, count on you
So don’t contend those words, we wrung me through

Woah, oh oh
Love is a end
So best not pretend
Because adore is a end

So we step a usually road
The usually highway we know
Nowhere to go though home
Nowhere to go
Maybe a time is up
But still we can’t abandon
All a beliefs of love
Don’t contend those words
Don’t contend those words
