PAROLES Rice-Oxley/Chaplin/Hughes/Quin It’s market day when They bring the flood Faster than our feet can run Swarm of angels from above All is broken, still they come And round the oak tree Air is shaking Children sleep under the sun And we go down to the river to pray Pray for magic and another day But it’s low now, it’s like we’re fading away Into the dirt of memoryAlong the Silk Road The fires burn Where the seats of learning stood And handsome couples Would take a turnThrough the wealthy neighbourhood Oh, roll the stone or move the mountain Wake oh, wake your time has comeAnd we go down to the river to pray Pray for magic and another day But it’s low now It’s like we’re fading away Into the dirt of memory And we go down to the river today We pray for silence and we pray for grace But it’s low now Still you’re rubbing my face Into the dirt of memory Ooooooooh In a shop in Al-Medina Centuries lived in these stones Oh roll the stone or move the mountain And we go down to the river to pray And we go down to the river today | A PROPOS We recorded “Dirt” during the “Cause and Effect” sessions, but even though it was one of our favourites we left it off the final album because it was very different thematically to the rest of the record. We’re very pleased to be able to release it at last. “Dirt” is an attempt to imagine the desperation of innocent people caught up in violent conflict. At the time of writing it, I was trying to learn a little about the history of the so-called Silk Road. In the process came to understand not only how beautiful, ancient, cosmopolitan and deeply cultured cities like Aleppo and Damascus are, but how much of ‘Western’ civilisation as we know it was inherited from the Middle East and Central Asia.

PAROLES Rice-Oxley/Chaplin/Hughes/Quin I was floating high above our lives I was looking down from space I was puzzled by the starlight on your face Can I undo all the things I’ve done Say the words I never said Is there something that survives! Is it love that will lift us From nothing to something The spark of a better day I feel it coming Can we rise above these warring clowns Who would turn friend against friend Can we live the way we meant to live Will we come home in the end Is there something that survivеs Is it love that will lift us From nothing to something The spark of a bеtter day I feel it coming Can you rewrite the ending And undo the damage Get back on your feet again Nothing to something Hold me now ‘Cause I feel afraid But I want to change My hands are weak And the words feel strange But I want to start again Hold on tight Baby, don’t look back ‘Cause I know we’re not the only ones Is it love that will lift us From nothing to something The spark of a better day I feel it coming Can you rewrite the ending Or undo the damage Get back on your feet again Lift us from Nothing to something | A PROPOS |
PAROLES Rice-Oxley/Chaplin/Hughes/Quin You feel like you can smell it on your skin Well do you ever wonder where it ends Burning your days, just trying to find Do you even remеmber who you were Burning the days Tear the world apart Running down the clock Burning the days Tear the world apart Burning the days | A PROPOS |
PAROLES Rice-Oxley/Chaplin/Hughes/Quin November day Another year begins to show its age Begins to grate November low Thought we were on our way somewhere November day I wish I’d kept a list of all November day Do you now sit there and smile And oh, I dreamed that we came back to life | A PROPOS |
