"insta-sorryed"? That's a new verb on me, though I think I've got the meaning and it's a nice contraction. Another neologism for our fast-moving Internet lingo :o) |

He's in tune and reaches the high notes, so I reckon he can sing, and it's definitely a Coldplay-esque sound (I've just been listening to some CP on iTunes and thought this was CP at first). No' bad - 7 from the Nottingham jury. |

Satellites contain us
Traffic lights control us
Rockets shoot us up into the stars
Rockets shoot us up into the stars
Letters keep us posted
Numbers calculated
Nothing picks us up when we are down
Nothing picks us up when we are down
Complement the atmosphere
Fill the ground with all our tears
Dry them up to make it clear
We do no wrong
Complement the atmosphere
Fill the ground with all our tears
Dry them up to make it clear
We do no wrong
Strange surrounds each corner
Stains pollute the water
Something for us all to think about
Something for us all to think about
Summer sun protects us
Winter rains torment us
Now it seems to me we can't be free
Now it seems to me we can't be free
Close the door before it's late
We were born to love and hate
Turn it down for our own sake
We do no wrong
You fill your ears with every note
Direction seems the only hope
Its crowded, let's create now
We do no wrong
Common sense protects us
Everything affects us
To the outside light it's paradise
To the outside light it's paradise

** I think they might mature lyrically -- not so melodramatically negative (always a mark of young writers.) **
lol yes cuz the young have the market cornered on observing that life ain't all sunshine and lollipops. I like these guys - sure they sorta sound like a lot of sorta sounding sounds; oh well, still find myself humming along.
