...::: When we
were young
:::...
R. Williams & G. Barlow & H. Donald & M. Owen & J. Orange
When we were young the world seemed so old
Careless and cold, we did what we were told in our lives
When we were young
Had the world by the tail
Good would prevail
Starships setsail
And none of us would fail in this life
Not when you’re young
We were drawn to whoever
Could keep us together
And bound by the heavens above
And we tried to survive
Travellingat the speed of love
Whoa
When we were young
When we adored the fabulous
Whoa
Whenwe were young
We were the foolish fearless
Never knowing the cost of what we paid
Letting someone else be strong
Whoa
When we were young
In the moment of grace
A long leap offaith
There's still more glory stored away
It’s my life
I’m here with the lovers
And we burn thebridges we’re crossing over
Just to see the firelight
And the innocent are getting over
Being old tonight
Whoa
When we were young
When everything was what it seemed
Whoa
When we were young
And every day was how we dreamed
Never knowing the cost of what we paid
Letting someone else be strong
Whoa
When we were young
And when you’ll look at yourself tonight
Are you someone you recognize?
You can take back what you’ve given away
But it must be the last time
Whoa
When we were young
Whoa
When we were young
When we were young
Whoa
When we were young
When we adored the fabulous
Whoa
When we were young
We were the foolish fearless
Whoa
When we were young
We didn't know it wouldn't last
Whoa
When we were young

Complicated, fractious, twisted, ego, circus,
disappointed , curious , alive, tortured, awkward,
patient, addicted , fragile, foolish, man
Giving up too much
Giving up
Be gracious, be thankful
Giving up too much
Giving up
Be honest, be kind
We’re waiting for the universe
We’re waiting for the light to lead the way
Creating what we can’t reverse
Nothing will ever be the same again
You held it all, you had it all, you lost control and let it go
again
We’re waiting for the universe to end
You’re much too strong for me and I can’t hold your hand like I
used to
You’re much too hard for me and I can’t change your heart like I
used to
And all that’s left to say to you is to smile when the lights
are on
This never was enough for you, now we both know where we belong
Giving up too much, Giving up too much
I’ve never given this much to another no, not to another lover
Giving up too much, Giving up too much
I’ve never given so much, never given so much away
We’re waiting for the universe
We’re waiting for the light to lead the way
Creating what we can’t reverse
Nothing will ever be the same again
You held it all, you had it all, you lost control and let it go
again
We’re waiting for the universe to end
Goodbye, goodnight, my love
Goodbye my love
Complicated, fractious, twisted, addicted , fragile, man
We’re waiting for the universe
We’re waiting for the light to lead the way
Creating what we can’t reverse
Nothing will ever be the same again
You held it all, you had it all, you lost control and let it go
again
We’re waiting for the universe to end
We’re waiting for the universe to end

You bring me right back down to
the Earth from the Promised Land
We're getting close to the centre of the Earth with an honest plan
You'll never be your mother or your father do you understand?
Until you understand
We don't have too much time here
And time it travels far too fast
We're not too far we're too near
Before they take it from our hands
Why don't you teach your heart to feel, and give your love love
Give your love love, give it all away
Why don'tyou teach your heart to talk and give your love love
Give your love love
Gimme, gimme what I need
We'll take you right back down to the Earth from the Motherland
This is a fi rst-class journey from the gods to the son of man
You're at the gates of human evolution don't you understand
Why don't you understand (understand)
We don't have too much time here
And time it travels far too fast
We're not too far we're too near
Before they take it from our hands
Why don't you teach your heart to feel, and give your love love
Give your love love, give it all away
Why don'tyou teach your heart to talk and give your love love
Give your love love, give it all away
Why don't you teach your heart to feel, and give your love love
Give your love love, give it all away
Why don't you teach your heart to talk and give your love love
Give your love love
Gimme, gimme what I need
We don't have too much time here
And time it travels far too fast
We're not too far we're too near
Before they take it from our hands
Why don't you teach your heart to feel, and give your love love
Give your love love, give it all away
Why don't you teach your heart to talk and give your love love
Give your love love, give it all away
Why don't you teach your heart to feel, and give your love love
Give your love love, give it all away
Why don't you teach your heart to talk and give your love love
Give your love love
Gimme, gimme what I need
...::: The day the work
is done
:::...
R. Williams & G. Barlow & H. Donald & M. Owen & J. Orange
When all the work is done
The work is done
A place for everything til everything is in its place
And every setting sun
When the work was done
Was a day that didn’t go to waste
When all the work is done
It will be done
Producing everything for everything to be replaced
And in dirty towns we will settle down
Manufacture for the human race
The greatest story that was ever told in the lights of history
Was the grand designs of other men
And they built those walls for you and me
So don’t start thinking we can start again
Start a riot in the streets my friend
Or they’ll start pulling us apart again
Cos idle hands make idle men
Don’t start thinking with your heart again
Cos idle hands make idle men
When the work is done, the work is done
We’ll bebionic and beyond the circuits of our minds
We’ll get nothing done under electric sun
Leave the weight of labour far behind
We’re the greatest story that was ever told
But we don’t know where we’re from
And the walls became but a memory
Of the days when all the work begun
So don’t start thinking we can start again
Start a riot in the streets my friend
Or they’ll start pulling us apart again
Cos idle hands make idle men
Rejoice the day, the day the work is done
Rejoice the day, the day the work is done
Everybody's counting hours
Everybody's countinghours
Til the day the work is done
Til the day the work is done
So don’t start thinking we can start again
Start a riot in the streets my friend
Or they’ll start pulling us apart again
Cos idle hands make idle men
So don’t start thinking we can start again
Start a riot in the streets my friend
Or they’ll start pulling us apart again
Cos idle hands make idle men
Rejoice the day, the day the work is done
Rejoice the day, the day the work is done
Everybody's counting hours
Everybody's counting hours

R. Williams & G. Barlow & H. Donald & M. Owen & J. Orange
Let all that’s
simple pass you by
Let all that lives be free to die
We’re all, we’re all key to life
Face all that rage and history
It makes no sense to you and me
We’re all, we’re all free to fight
I broke all my vows, my common sense
Says find vocation somewhere else
This should’ve beenso beautiful
Should’ve been my proudest moment
How to have and lose you all
How to be a disappointment
Save your cheers and my applause
I never was worth fighting for
This should’ve been so beautiful
Been so beautiful
It could’ve been so beautiful
Tonight
Lay all that’s sinful down to rest
May all our judgements be confessed
We’re all, we’re all guilty now
Drink for the crowd not for yourself
Til someone hears your cry for help
Let’s all, let’s all take a bow
I spent all my mind on making sense
It made no difference in the end
This should’ve been so beautiful
Should’ve been my proudest moment
How to have and lose you all
How to be a disappointment
Save your cheers and my applause
I never was worth fighting for
This should’ve been so beautiful
Been so beautiful
It could’ve been so beautiful
Tonight I close my eyes and Iam somebody else
Tonight I close my eyes and I don’t need any help
Every moment of laughter
Every moment I fear
Every moment that you’re not here
This should’ve been so beautiful, so beautiful, be so beautiful
This should have been so beautiful, been so beautiful
This should’ve been so beautiful
Should’ve been my proudest moment
How to have and lose you all
How to be a disappointment
Save your cheers and my applause
I never was worth fighting for
This should’ve been so beautiful
Been so beautiful
It could’ve been so beautiful
Tonight
...::: Don't say goodbye

R. Williams & G. Barlow & H. Donald & M. Owen & J. Orange
Don’t stay where
you’re not loved
Those people obscure the view
But if I’ve done my job
They won’t want to mess with you
Finance and romances
A place where you’ll exist
Live with your mother’s smile
But see you through daddy’s eyes
You might lose your dignity
But it’s not what it used to be
And don’t say Goodbye to the world
Until you’ve loved somebody
Don’t say Goodbye to the world
Until you’ve lived like Kings and Queens
I’ll be the first and last thing that you see
But don’t say goodbye to me
Just listen to your heart
Not the voices in your head
Forget how it made you feel
But don’t forget what was said
Tears are words that we can touch
When words only say so much
Want what you’ve got
Then you’ll always have enough
You might lose your dignity
But look what it’s done for me
And don’t say Goodbye to the world
Until you’ve loved somebody
Don’t say Goodbye to the world
Until you’ve lived like Kings and Queens
I’ll be the first and last thing that you see
But don’t say goodbye to me
And don’t say Goodbye to the world
Until you’ve loved somebody
Don’t say Goodbye to the world
Until you’ve lived like Kings and Queens
I’ll be the fi rst and last thing that you see
But don’t say goodbye to me

Alien Alien Alien Alien Alien Alien Alien Alien
Through the carnage of the crash
Baby I’m with you
And the photos in a flash
Baby I’m with you
Through violent seas
Baby I’m with you
Until release
Baby I’m with you
And all the animals in the park
Are waiting for their dinner to come
And all the creatures in the dark
Are waiting for the light to come on
We are the aliens, we are, we are, we are alien
God loves the aliens, we are, we are, we are alien
All the animals inthe park, alien
And all the strangers that wake up in the dark
Are waiting for the light to come on
Alien Alien
Through electronic desire
Baby I’m with you
And the elements of fire
Baby I’m with you
Through everything
Baby I’m with you
All the counterfeited scream tonight
When all the elevated
Become illuminated
We are the aliens, we are, we are, we are alien
God loves the aliens, we are, we are, we are alien
All the animals in the park, alien
And all the strangers that wake up in the dark
Are waiting for the light to come on
Alien, alien, alien, alien, alien, alien, alien
We are the aliens, we are, we are, we are alien
God loves the aliens, we are, we are, we are alien
All the animals in the park, alien
And all the strangers that wake up in the dark
Alien
...::: Wonderful world

R. Williams & G. Barlow & H. Donald & M. Owen & J. Orange
What a wonderful world this is
What a wonderful world this is
It makes me want to kiss
What a beautiful kiss this is
What a beautiful kiss of life
Just before I die
I’ve been spending time
I’ve been losing time
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time can help you find the ground and knock you off your feet
All those minutes get lost in time
One step forward two steps behind
So before I think myself too deep
What a wonderful world this is
What a wonderful world this is
What a delicate tale of bliss
That I don’t want to miss
In this moment where we all exist
On the precipice of the abyss
It always was, how it is
Spending time, wasting time
I’ve been spending time, I’ve been wasting time
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time can help you find the ground and knock you off your feet
All those minutes get lost in time
One step forward two steps behind
So before I think myself too deep
What a wonderful world this is
No time…
Am I losing my mind
No time…
Am I losing my mind
There’s no time for us, no time for us until we’re out of time
There’s no time for us, no time
What a wonderful world this is
There’s no time for us, no time (we’re running out of time)
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
