The Chaos

The Futureheads The Chaos Lyrics
1.The Chaos

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


2.Struck Dumb

Misery is a little line of a little dash
It's a subtraction sign
Happiness is a little cross so if you're feeling lost
Use it to add it up

For crying out loud
Stop furrowing your brow
Stop living in the clouds
Go and make your mother proud

Your negativity is ruining your sleep
It makes you want to cry on your pillow
Your negativity is cultural in 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
Every day 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 furrowing your brow
Stop living in the clouds
Go and make your mother proud

Your negativity is ruining your sleep
It makes you want to cry on your pillow
Your negativity is cultural in your dreams
So say hello to something only I know
I'm struck dumb but I'll give it a go

Your negativity is ruining your sleep
It makes you want to cry on your pillow
Your negativity is cultural in your dreams
But say hello to something only I know
I'm struck dumb but I'll give it a go

Your negativity is ruining your sleep
It makes you want to cry on your pillow
Your negativity is cultural in your dreams
So say hello to something only I know
I'm struck dumb but I'll give it a go


3.Heartbeat Song

Lyricist:David Andrew Craig, Barry James Hyde, David Hyde, Ross George
Thom Millard

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

Your heartbeat song
It's good, but it's not the one
We're 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, it's impossible to concentrate
Bright lights everywhere like I'm floating in the air

Your heartbeat song
It's good, but it's not the one
We're singing out of tune
But I still want to sing with you

Your heartbeat song
It's good, but it's not the one
We're 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 my heart
It's 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, it's impossible to concentrate
Bright lights everywhere like I'm floating in the air

Your heartbeat song
It's good, but it's not the one
We're singing out of tune
But I still want to sing with you

Your heartbeat song
It's good, but it's not the one
We're 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


4.Stop The Noise

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, it's 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
Stop the noise, stop the noise
I wish that I could stop the noise

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 to live

Stop the noise, stop the noise
I wish that I could stop the noise
Stop the noise, stop the noise
I wish that I could stop the noise

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
I wish that I could stop the noise
I wish that I could stop the noise
I wish that I could stop the noise


5.The Connector

Triangles
Straight lines
Tiny circles
on the circuit line
We lack
One of the vital pieces
Make use of the power it releases

The connector
Roar!
The connector
Roar!

(We bounce) We bounce around the circuit board
(We dance) We dance around with electricity
And whenever we get bored
We turn up the connectivity

The connector
Roar!

Voltage is the currency (Voltage is the currency)
We spend magnetic money
We know that we can't run out
We're happy now, but we can't get out

The connector
Roar!
The connector
Roar!

(We bounce) We bounce around the circuit board
(We dance) We dance around with electricity
Whenever we get bored
We turn up the connectivity

The connector
Roar!
The connector
Roar!

Roar!

Triangles
Straight lines
Tiny circles
on the circuit line
We lack one of the vital pieces
Make use of the power it releases
Voltage is the currency
We spend magnetic money
We know that we can't run out
We're happy now, but we can't get out

The connector
Roar!
The connector
Roar!

It's my memory of the times before
We washed up on the electric shore
Our world is a circuit board
Our hero is The Connector.
Connector

The connector
Roar!
The connector
Roar!
The connector
Roar!
The connector
Roar!
The connector
The connector
Roar!
The connector
The connector
Roar!


6.I Can Do That

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 I'm clinging on
'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, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that
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 I'm clinging on
'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, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that

I can do that, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that

I can do that, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that

I can do that, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that
I can do that, I can do that
Do it

I wish I could fly right up to the sky
But I can't, you can


7.Sun Goes Down

The sun goes down and the colors 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, 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 sins
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 sins
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 sins
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 sins
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 sins
The sun goes down and the double life begins

Double life begins


8.This Is The Life

Hey

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
This is the life, this is what you've been waiting for
It's what we're celebrating for

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
This is the life, this is what you've been waiting for
It's what we're celebrating for

This is the life, this is what you've been waiting for
It's what we're celebrating for
This is the life, this is what you've been waiting for
It's what we're celebrating for


9.The Baron

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)


10.Dart At The Map

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

The people waving 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, they don't look like me
In the second dream, 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

I try to treat me coming home
Back to a 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
They threw a dart at the map and we started to laugh
They threw a dart at the map and we started to laugh
Threw a dart at the map and we started to laugh
Threw a dart at the map and started to laugh


11.Jupiter

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 life 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
