"Goodness gracious I can't seem to stop Calling it off Calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms"

"I had a heart then But the queen has been overthrown"

"We'll be raising our hands Shining up to the sky Cause we've got the fire fire fire And we gonna let it burn"

"And they say She's in the Class A Team. Stuck in her daydream, Been this way since 18. But lately her face seems Slowly sinking, wasting, Crumbling like pastries. And they scream The worst things in life come free to us. Cos we're just under the upperhand And go mad for a couple of grams. And she don't want to go outside tonight. And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland Or sells love to another man. It's too cold outside For angels to fly; Angels to fly."

"I wanna be drunk when I wake up On the right side of the wrong bed. And every excuse I made up Tell you the truth I hate. What didn't kill me, It never made me stronger at all."

"'Cause maybe you're loveable. Maybe you're my snowflake. And your eyes turn from green to gray. And in the winter I'll hold you in a cold place. And you should never cut your hair, 'Cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder.And you will never know Just how beautiful you are to me. But maybe I'm just in love When you wake me up."

"You were just a Small Bump unborn, in Four months you're brought to life. You might be left with my hair, but you'll have your Mother's eyes. I'll hold your body in my hands be as gentle as I can, but for now you're a scan of my unmade plans. Small bump, four months you are brought to life."

"That's you now, hello, ciao. Seems that life is great now. See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud. I can't, no, I won't hush. I'll say the words that make you blush. I'm gonna sing this now. See, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is."

"Give me love, like her Cos lately I've been waking up alone. The pain splatters teardrops on my shirt. I told you I'd let them go."

"I'm gonna pick up the pieces, and build a Lego house. When things go wrong we can knock it down."

"I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind I'll do it all for you in time And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now."

"Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance He knows that something somewhere has to break He sees the family home now, looming in his headlights The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache Many miles away there's a shadow on the door Of a cottage on the shore Of a dark Scottish lake"

"Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration But we know all her suicides are fake Daddy only stares into the distance There's only so much more that he can take Many miles away something crawls from the slime At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake"

"If we share this nightmare Then we can dream Spiritus mundi If you act as you think The missing link Synchronicity"

"A star fall, a phone call It joins all Synchronicity It's so deep, it's so wide You're inside Synchronicity Effect without a cause Sub-atomic laws, scientific pause Synchronicity...."

"With one breath, with one flow You will know Synchronicity A sleep trance, a dream dance, A shared romance Synchronicity A connecting principle Linked to the invisible Almost imperceptible Something inexpressible"

"Disagree with the tyrant and you risk imprisonment, torture and death. Yet that is what we must do, all of us. We must protect our right to speak the truth."

"Democracy is under attack. It's under attack in every country in the world. It's in grave danger of being lost unless we defend it."

"Dissent is a legitimate and essential right in any democracy and modern politicians must accept this fact with tolerance. A sense of proportion — and a sense of humour — is a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness."

"Jung believed there was a large pattern to life, that it wasn't just chaos. Our song Synchronicity II is about two parallel events that aren't connected logically or causally, but symbolically."

"We are a parliamentary democracy; we don’t function by plebiscite. It’s dangerous. I don’t believe in referendums – Hitler and Mussolini organised referendums"

Trains are always late, most state schools are shit, and I've gotta give you, like, four million quid – are you having a laugh? When I got my tax bill in from [the album] 19, I was ready to go and buy a gun and randomly open fire."

"I love seeing Lady Gaga's boobs and bum. I love seeing Katy Perry's boobs and bum. Love it. But that's not what my music is about. I don’t make music for eyes, I make music for ears."

"The distance in form, intention, mood and expression between Schubert's songs for voice and piano and those of, say, Adele, is remarkably small."

"There ain't no gold in this river That I've been washin' my hands in forever. I know there is hope in these waters, But I can't bring myself to swim When I am drowning in this silence, Baby, let me in.Go easy on me, baby. I was still a child. Didn't get the chance to Feel the world around me. I had no time to choose what I chose to do, So go easy on me."

"Oh, my God, I can't believe it. Out of all the people in the world, What is the likelihood of jumping Out of my life and into your arms? Maybe, baby, I'm just losing my mind, 'Cause this is trouble, but it feels right. Teetering on the edge of Heaven and Hell Is a battle that I cannot fight."

And if I'm not the one for you, You've gotta stop holding me the way you do. Oh honey, if I'm not the one for you, Why have we been through what we have been through?"

"Send my love to your new lover, Treat her better. We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts. We both know we ain't kids no more."

"Let me photograph you in this light In case it is the last time that we might Be exactly like we were before we realised We were sad of getting old, it made us restless. It was just like a movie, It was just like a song."

"Bless your soul, you've got you're head in the clouds, You made a fool out of you, And, boy, she's bringing you down, She made your heart melt, But you're cold to the core, Now rumour has it she ain't got your love anymore."

"I can't keep up with your turning tables Under your thumb, I can't breathe.I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no. I won't ask you, you to just desert me. I can't give you, what you think you gave me. It's time to say goodbye to turning tables."

"The scars of your love remind me of us They keep me thinking that we almost had it all. The scars of your love they leave me breathless. I can't help feeling We could have had it all. Rolling in the deep. You had my heart inside of your hand And you played it To the beat."

"But I set fire to the rain, Watched it pour as I touched your face, Well it burnt while I cried, Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name! I set fire to the rain And I threw us into the flames Well it felt like something died Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!"
