The Scientist - Coldplay
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
Secret of the Stars - Symphony of Science
Why do the stars shine?
Why does the galaxy light up?
E=MC2
That is the engine that lights up the stars
Energy turns into mass,
E=MC2
That is the secret of the stars
Hey Bulldog - The Beatles
Big man, walking in the park
Wigwam, frightened of the dark
Some kind of solitude is measured out in you,
You think you know me but you haven't got a clue
You can talk to me,
You can talk to me,
You can talk to me,
If you're lonely you can talk to me
Streets of Glory - Paloma Faith
There's no angels left in this scene
We both landed somewhere inbetween
You can't teach 'cause you never learn
There's nothing left, there's no return
It may hurt to leave but it's worse to hold your hand
The shattered glass it falls upon the places where you stand
I will be your memento mori while you hide behind your made-up story
The more you talk the less it means
And what I want's not what I need
While we're flesh and blood and I still bleed
I know you're bad for me
But maybe on the streets of glory
I'll see you on the streets of glory
Cannonball - Damien Rice
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on, courage, teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose her
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
Just Be - Paloma Faith
Let's get old together, let's be unhappy forever
Cause there's no one else in this world
That I'd rather be unhappy with
Let's be exposed and unprotected
Let's see one another when we're weak
Let's go our separate ways in the night like two moths
But know that you're flying home to me.
I was born thinking it would all be dreamy
But I know that I wouldn't be happy that way
You wear me out with frustration and heartache and anger
But we wait for the wave just to wash it away
Don't say nothing, just sit next to me
Don't say nothing
Shhh
Just be, just be, just be
Indian Summer - Stereophonics
It was a cold September,
Before the Indian summer,
That's the thing I remember
Then she gave me her number,
Went from station to station,
On a train 'cross the nation
And the rain of November,
That's the time that we ended
She was the one for me,
She opened my eyes to see,
She was the one for me
Radioactive - Imagine Dragons
All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Kate Rusby - Exile
I feel a shadow passing over me
That could stay forever more
Like a wave I'm breaking far at sea
There's no one to hear the roar
And the days are drifting into seasons
They're the hardest I have ever known
A million spaces in the earth to fill but
There's no going home
No going home
Someone Like You - Adele
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it:
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over
Rambling Man - Laura Marling
Oh, naive little me
Asking what things you have seen
And you're vulnerable in your head
And you'll scream and you'll wail til you're dead
But give me to a rambling man,
Let it always be known that I was who I am
Guns & Horses - Ellie Goulding
I left my house, left my clothes,
Door wide open, heaven knows
That you're so worth it,
You are
But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Then maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you, I would
The Great Escape - Pink
I can understand how when the edges are rough
And they cut you like the tiniest slivers of glass
And you feel too much
And you don't know how long you're gonna last,
But I won't let you make the great escape,
I'm never gonna watch you checking out of this place
I'm not gonna lose you, 'cause the passion and the pain
Are gonna keep you alive someday
I feel like I could wave my fist in front of your face
And you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thing
And you've retreated to your silent corner
Like you've decided the fight was over for you
Pompeii - Bastille
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Great clouds rolled over the hills bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all?
And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Oh where do we begin: the rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin: the rubble or our sins?
Salvation - Gabrielle Aplin
You are the avalanche
One world away
My make-believing
While I'm wide awake
Just a trick of light
To bring me back around again
Those wild eyes
A psychedelic silhouette
Run Boy Run - Woodkid
(Run boy run!) This ride is a journey to
(Run boy run!) The secret inside of you
(Run boy run!) This race is a prophecy
(Run boy run!) And disappear in the trees
Tomorrow is another day
And you won’t have to hide away
But for now it's time to run, it's time to run
The Scientist - Avril Lavigne
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
And no one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start
