LYRICS

Some days, feels my soul has left my body
Feel I'm floating high above me
Like I'm looking down upon me

Start sinking, everytime I get to thinking
It's easier to keep on moving
Never stop to let the truth in

Sometimes I feel like it's all been done
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one
Sometimes I wanna change everything I've ever done
Too tired to fight and yet too scared to run

And if I stop for a minute
I think about things I really don't wanna know
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm a liner stranded in an ice floe

I feel like I'm a thief who has no faith
Maybe more than by the grade
Of the drugs you took that day

Sinking in the pain he's been inflicting
Yet he's feeling like the victim
Just a horoscope's to blame

Sometimes I feel like a little lost child
Sometimes I feel like the chosen one
Sometimes I wanna shout out 'til everything goes quiet
Sometimes I wonder why I was ever born

And if I stop for a minute
I think about things really I don't wanna know
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm a liner stranded in an ice floe

(rap)
One... yeah...
And baby you are just beautiful from crown to your cuticles
You held down my two sons, you never frown when duty calls
You know me, I gave you more than you can handle
But you still keep a handle on it, even when I take something beautiful and vandal on it
No more females? Well how come my emails got notes on a scandal
It's like Eve with the apple,
A priest in the chapel
Overcome by the devil's tackle
I'm still shackling the bad til I know
I'm such a hassle every time I let my thoughts go
I get baffled so I hardly pause
I just crossed seas with these gnarly broads
Cos it hurts me just to see what I finally lost
So I guess I'm just a fiend
Consumed by the scene
The stage and the screens
Where it's just me and Keane

And if I stop for a minute
I think about things I really don't wanna know
So I guess I'm just a fiend
Consumed by the scene
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm a liner stranded in an ice floe
The stage and the screens
Where it's just me and Keane

NEW PHOTOS, NEW BIOG

From KM.com,

Following yesterday's artwork announcement, we've just uploaded three brand new pictures to km.com, as well as the brand new band biog. The pictures were all taken by Takay.

Head to the BAND section to check out the pictures in all their glory (click for full-size versions) and to read the new biog.

You'll notice if you scroll beneath the English biog that we are, for the first time, offering a version Spanish language translation, in recognition of Keane's enormous Spanish-speaking fanbase. Let us know what you think - it's something we might be doing a bit more of going forward...

YAY, A NEW TIM BLOG!

From KM.com,

Greetings my fine, feathered friends. It's been so long since I blogged that I can barely remember how.

I'm currently sitting on the plane en route to San Francisco for the start of our North American tour. (I know, it's taken us a ludicrously long time to come back to the States. To cut a long story short, they wouldn't let us in.) I'm pretty sure I keep getting small electric shocks from the armrests on my chair. Is that normal? I wonder if it's because I've got my computer on my lap.

Anyway. It's been a busy and immensely pleasurable couple of months in the world of Keane. Now, let me think. After our race around Latin America we had a couple of weeks of interesting bits and bobs to attend to which I think are worthy of mention. I went to a couple of great gigs, the first being a collaboration between Tinariwen and Tunng. I have to admit that before going I was kind of wishing it was just Tinariwen on their own, only because I've never seen them live and am easily confused. But the collaboration was both interesting and inspiring, and the slight air of first-night chaos onstage only added to the buzz. A couple of days after that I went to see La Roux in Brighton, which I can only describe as utterly brilliant. While I'm on gigs, I saw Amadou and Mariam the other day at the Jazz Cafe. The groove and musicianship were really pretty astounding. They make it look so easy! Still, something to aim for. I'd really recommend their new(ish) album if you don't already have it.

But anyway, after a few days of sleeping and gig-going we went off to Marseille for a radio show. The only notable thing about this was that I got the train there and back. I was strangely excited about this, probably because it enabled me to suppress my fear of flying for a couple more weeks, and reduce my carbon footprint very slightly of course. It took 3 hours and 10 minutes from Paris to Marseille, which seems unbelievable to me. If I could travel everywhere by train I'd be a happy man. I think this probably dates back to reading Emil And The Detectives when I was a kid.

I spent the next few days working on a demo for our collaboration with K'Naan, and then (after the 3D gig at Abbey Road, about which everything has already been said!) we went into the studio with him for three days. We got the bones of three tracks together, which is really good going, and hopefully at least one of those should be finished soon. Not sure what we're going to do with any of it, but they sound really great and it was exciting to be back in the studio and making new music between tours. It puts your head in a different place, and I think we felt fresher going into the Australia/Japan tour because of it.

The Oz/Japan tour is another thing that's been comprehensively written about on km.com, so I won't say much about it except that I thought it was possibly the most fun tour we've ever done. I loved Australia and I loved Japan. The latter was a frustratingly short visit but definitely the most enjoyable Japanese shows to date. Can't wait for Summersonic.

So, that's us up to date. It will be very nice to be back on the bus for this tour, rather than flying everywhere. I'm looking forward to sitting in the back lounge writing songs and chewing the fat. And, of course, it will be wonderful to catch up with the lovely people of America at long last.
