… please come back here before it is too late… 

This is my fav Coldplay song:

So I looked in your direction, 

But you paid me no attention, do you. 

I know you don’t listen to me. 

’cause you say you see straight thru me, don’t you? 



On and on from the moment I wake, 

To the moment I sleep, 

I’ll be there by your side, 

Just you try and stop me, 

I’ll be waiting in line, 

Just to see if you care. 



Did she want me to change? 

But I changed for good! 

And I want you to know… 

But you always get your way, 

I wanted to say, 



 

Don’t you Shiver? Shiver, Shiver 



I’ll always be waiting for you, 

So you know how much I need ya, 

But you never even see me, do you? 



And this is my final chance of getting you. 



On and on from the moment I wake…. 

Did she want me to change?…  Sing it loud and clear. 

I’ll always be waiting for you.  Yeah I’ll always be waiting for you. 



And it’s you I see, but you don’t see me. 

And it’s you I hear, so loud and clear. 

I sing it loud and clear. 

And I’ll always be waiting for you,. 



So I look in your direction, 

But you pay me no attention, 

And you know how much I need you, 

But you never even see me.

BBC4 Songwriter’s Circle - Dirty Rain

From BBC4 Songwriter’s Circle:

The final concert in this series of the songwriters’ show sees Kiwi favourite Neil Finn joined on stage by American legend Janis Ian and alt-country poster boy Ryan Adams.

Finn genially guides proceedings, with songs that sound like old friends pulled from different phases in his career - Crowded House favourites Distant Sun and Don’t Dream It’s Over are mixed with Split Enz’s She Will Have Her Way and Golden Child, a new song written with his wife Sharon about their kids flying the nest.

Janis Ian has been writing songs since she was 12 years old and on this evidence she is still at the top of her game. Her intelligent lyrics, by turns introspective and socially-engaged, are couched in lovely melodies and her guitar playing is a delight, from the jazzy Bright Lights and Promises to her evergreen classic At Seventeen.

Ryan Adams crouches over his distinctive striped guitar and delivers a series of exquisitely mournful songs, from debut solo album Heartbreaker’s Oh My Sweet Carolina (helped by gorgeous harmonies from his compadres) to Invisible Riverside from his album Ashes and Fire.

Quickly-rehearsed collaborative moments bring new textures to familiar tunes, and there is banter aplenty between the three artists, resulting in some hugely enjoyable digressions, with surreal spontaneously created ‘songs’, the whole thing rounded off with an ensemble version of Finn’s Weather with You.

These are the OUTTAKES (crazy right…)
