The Futureheads Album

5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Let’s go!

Get on your marks, look up to the skies
Up, up and away, let’s travel at the speed of light
In a split second we’ll be out of sight
Goodbye to the human satellite
On your marks, runner
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Oh, the chaos is everywhere
But what’s it got to do with us? (x4)

5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Get up off your knees; stand tall when you talk to me
Never confuse lies and apologies
Look into my eyes, believe me when I say
That you’ve been told a lie, but you still toe the line
But I know that we still have time
Goodbye to the human satellite
On your marks, runner
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Oh, the chaos is everywhere
But what’s it got to do with us? (x4)

5, 4, 3, 2, 1
5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Oh, the chaos is everywhere
But what’s it got to do with us? (x2)

Oh, the chaos
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Misery,
is a little line,
of a little dash,
it's a subtraction sign.

Happiness,
is a little cross,
so if your feeling lost,
use it to add it up.

for crying out loud,
stop following your crowd,
stop living in the clouds,
go and make your mother proud.

Your negativity,
is ruining you sleep.
it makes you want to cry on your pillow.

your negativity,
is controlling your dreams,
so say hello to something only i know.
I'm struck dumb but I'll give it a go.

all of us,
are genius,
there's more than enough,
to go between us.

everyday,
you create,
everything,
in every way.

laziness,
can go and play,
with ignorance,
on the motorway.

all of us,
are genius,
there's more than enough,
to go between us.

for crying out loud,
stop following your crowd,
stop living in the clouds,
go and make your mother proud.

Your negativity,
is ruining you sleep.
it makes you want to cry on your pillow.

your negativity,
is controlling your dreams,
so say hello to something only i know.
I'm struck dumb but I'll give it a go.

When we meet i listen to your heartbeat
I can hear the rhythm and the tone
Every time i listen to me heart
Its like a cartwheel in my head but my legs are made of lead

Your heartbeat song, its good but its not the one
Were singing out of tune, but i still want to sing with you

When we speak i find it hard to think straight
Especially when there's no one else around
When we touch its impossible to concentrate
Bright lights everywhere, like i'm floating in the air

Your heartbeat song, its good but its not the one
Were singing out of tune, but i still want to sing with you

Your heartbeat song, its good but its not the one
Were singing out of tune, but i still want to sing with you
But i still want to sing with you

If you care, we can share sometime
If we spare ourselves, tonight

When we meet i listen to your heartbeat
I can hear the rhythm and the tone
Every time i listen to me heart
Its like a cartwheel in my head but my legs are made of lead

When we speak i find it hard to think straight
Especially when there's no one else around
When we touch its impossible to concentrate
Bright lights everywhere, like i'm floating in the air

Your heartbeat song, its good but its not the one
were singing out of tune, but i still want to sing with you

Your heartbeat song, its good but its not the one
were singing out of tune, but i still want to sing with you
Still want to sing with you
Still want to sing with you
I still want to sing with you

Let’s go on holiday, we can be
Anyone we want, anyone we want
A new dress, we lose the stress don’t you know
Your struggles are gone, looking for the one
It’s no excuse for the animals, terrible
What we’ve become under the sun
Waking up, staying up
Keeping you up all night

Stop the noise, stop the noise
I wish that I could stop the noise (x2)

I spoke to the devil last night (What did he say?)
What do you want? What do you want?
Can you decide that you could help us and not just tempt us?
The state that we’re in is wearing us thin
He said that when the ice came, when the floods came
We were alone, but what do we know?
A single man cannot build anything, anything
The difference is when the millions were meant

Stop the noise, stop the noise
I wish that I could stop the noise (x2)

To you in darkness, we want the daylight
We could disappear anywhere, anytime
You can’t understand what we’re doing here
We’ll just stay awake while the sun is out today
All feeling starts to fade
All the millions of signs to say
Making noise was the way

I wish that I could stop the noise (x4)

[No lyrics]

I've been waiting six months for a sign that this is not a farce
I'm sick of having to read between the lines
I wrote a hundred letters without expecting a reply
I've made more phone calls than a wealthy guy

The power of persuasion is lost on the young
I wish that I still had it
I know ??
"Take a chance on me" is slipping off my tongue
The strange thing is, I know I'm not the only one

I can do that! x8

You can do it!

I'm standing in a queue just to prove that I am not a joke
They ask you a question and look at you like you told a lie
I've got enough bits of paper in my folder
I've been coming here so long I know their middle-names


The power of persuasion is lost on the young
I wish that I still had it
I know ??
"Take a chance on me" is slipping off my tongue
The strange thing is, I know I'm not the only one

I can do that! x8

I can do that...repeated

I wish I could fly right up to the sky but I can't
You can't?

The sun goes down and the colours are replaced
In the darkness I await your invisible embrace
I lead a double life, secretive ways
We’re following the lights but we’re lost in the haze
Sun goes down and the double life begins,
Sun goes down and the double life begins

I drive through the trees to the hiss of your name
I’ll meet you in the moonlight to experience again
Nothing lasts forever but we don’t need much
To take us to the sun is just a midnight touch
Sun goes down and the double life begins,
Sun goes down and the double life begins

The sun goes down and the double life begins,
Sun goes down and the double life begins.
It’s a one way ticket to the city of sin
The sun goes down and the double life begins.

I’m thinking of the night through the middle of the day,
I’m dying to escape and I just can’t wait
Love is replaced by a bright burning light
It’s pulling me in to the city tonight
The sun goes down and the double life begins,
Sun goes down and the double life begins.

The sun goes down and the double life begins,
Sun goes down and the double life begins.
It’s a one way ticket to the city of sin
The sun goes down and the double life begins.

The sun goes down and the double life begins,
Sun goes down and the double life begins.
It’s a one way ticket to the city of sin
The sun goes down and the double life begins.

Double life begins
We don’t care, we don’t sleep, we don’t think, we don’t feel
We don’t dream, we don’t hide, we don’t cheat, we don’t lie
We don’t care, we don’t sleep, we don’t think, we don’t feel
We don’t dream, we don’t hide, we don’t cheat, we don’t lie
The sun goes down and the double life begins,
Sun goes down and the double life begins.
It’s a one way ticket to the city of sin
The sun goes down and the double life begins.

The sun goes down and the double life begins,
Sun goes down and the double life begins.
It’s a one way ticket to the city of sin
The sun goes down and the double life begins.

Double life begins

This is the life, sit back and lap it up
And it’s great to see a smile on your miserable face
Forget your troubles and strife,
We sat down and made them up
Like the lines on the maps of the satellites up in space

It’s a breakthrough, but I must warn you
It can feel very strange
And you’ll never be the same
This is, this is, this is

This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for
It’s what we’re celebrating for (x2)

Don’t be ashamed, or afraid to help yourself
To a world made up of childhood fantasy
You don’t have to change, you don’t have to test yourself
But don’t act like a dog barking up the wrong family tree

It’s a breakthrough, but I must warn you
It can feel very strange
And you’ll never be the same
This is, this is, this is

This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for
It’s what we’re celebrating for (x4)

So here we are, queuing on the street
The ground keeps sticking to your feet, it’s early.
The queue is a thousand strong
The town is closing down
Businesses are turning to the shadows
As the shutters go down

I hate to say I could be sold
The shutters I was leaving here
Nice to meet you, on your way

I’m gladly watching the walls come tumbling down
What you pulling out your hair for?
Let’s dance as it hits the floor. (x2)

Every few decades the plans tend to go astray
The blue is turning to the grey, it’s the end of the headache
Everybody is at home, and the streets are alone
The only sound is papers that are blown
By the winds from the sea

I hate to say I could be sold
The shutters I was leaving here
Nice to meet you, but on your way

I’m gladly watching the walls come tumbling down
What you pulling out your hair for?
Let’s dance as it hits the floor. (x2)

We’re leaving home this weekend on an aeroplane,
W e won’t be here on Monday when it starts again
Go get ‘em boys, go get ‘em girls
The family will be waiting when you return

The people with the flags don’t understand
What it’s like to have a world in your hands
Every night I go to sleep with someone watching me,
Every night I go to sleep and have the same two dreams

Wonder what I see, the people don’t look like me
The circuitry, I’m lying on my own in a field

There are people waiting at home for us
Holding flowers, they’ll be standing at the gate for us
There are people waiting at home for us
Keeping a picture at the bedside just of us

I wake up every morning on the edge of fear
I’m writing out a postcard, I wish you were here
Every night I go to sleep with someone watching me
Every night I cannot sleep ‘cause of the things I’ve seen

But try to treat me to coming home
Back to the place where I belong
Where the sound of shells is gone
And where I wouldn’t have to sing this song

There are people waiting at home for us
Holding flowers, they’ll be standing at the gate for us
There are people waiting at home for us
Keeping a picture by the bedside just of us

Threw a dart at the map, and we started to laugh (x6)

When your life fills you with despair,
You have to believe that there’s good out there
No enemies anywhere
Then you are free

The first five thousand miles are the hardest steps to take
Then your autopilot kicks in for the journey’s sake
You’re impossible to break
Impossible to overtake

You are not your job or your car
You are a star
Bigger than Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter
Bigger than Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter
You’re not what you see or what you know
You are drop it low, drop it low, heavy load
Put it down and let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

I need you to know that there’s no struggle up in space
Nothing out there stopping us from living live with grace
We’re impossible to trace,
Impossible to replace

You are not your job or your car
You are a star
Bigger than Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter
Bigger than Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter
You’re not what you see or what you know
You are drop it low, drop it low, heavy load
Put it down and let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

You don’t believe that you are Jupiter,
You don’t believe that you are anything
It would appear you think I’m fucking right
I counted the tears that landed in my face

There is always one more surprise
When your limits are the skies
One more

Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter,
Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter

Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter

Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter

Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter

Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter
