#490 - Coldplay - Clocks - 2002
running recap for me - 3's=6, 2's=4, 1's=1
this one - ***
from the album: A Rush Of Blood To The Head
Written by Coldplay
Produced by Ken Nelson, Mark Phythian
Chart action: #29 Billboard Hot 100, #9 UK Singles, #28 Canada, #7 Australia
the players:
Chris Martin – vocals, guitar, keyboards
Jon Buckland – guitar
Guy Berryman – bass
Will Champion – drums
Not a chart topper but it did spend 22 weeks bouncing around. From the groups second album, it got them a Grammy.
Released as the second single here, but the fourth in the UK. Chris Martin says the song was inspired by Muse.
Nearly left off the album as they considered it a wrap after 10 songs. The band was already touring before the album
was even released, when Chris relented, going back in the studio for this final track. The song addresses the
helplessness of being in a dysfunctional relationship. Cryptic as usual but that's what the pros say. Has been used
in numerous commercials, films and tv shows, ER being the most notable to me.

Lyrics
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 off 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]
