Album: Perfect Symmetry!

*************************
Is this what you meant?
Is this what you dreamed of?
When you were making your plans
Shaking the dirt off?
Do you feel like
You and I belong? (Oh woah oh!)
Just keep your eyes on the road
And nothing can go wrong
You can do so much better than this
You can do so much better than this
I've been checking my sums
Oh where did the time go?
Holding my photograph
Up to the window
Through the paper
And refracted sun (Oh woah oh!)
I can see all the things
I wish that I'd done
You can hang your hopes on the medicine
You can put your faith in the phone in
You can tell yourself you're doing your best
You can do so much better than this
Get a grip on yourself
Get a grip on yourself
Could've been something, but you're too late
And you weren't invited anyway
Cos the photograph showed the wrong man
Cos there is no soap star holding your hand
You don't see yourself in the freeze frame
Must be someone else using your name
And everyone will be the same
And everyone will gloat
And everywhere you'll see your name
In every shop window
It's better than this
You can do so much better than this
You can do so much better than this
You can do so much better than this
=)

An excellent message to the 'REALITY' culture that the kids all seem to chase these days. they all wanna be famous but they mostly have nothing to offer yet they still get on telly. mindless!!! GREAT SONG!

he cant spell symmetry hes a tool
-
sounds like ASHES TO ASHES by bowie
but one of the best songs on the lattest record
-
love this album , great song love the picture , but sorry but just to point out isn't your spelling of symmetry wrong
-
I like the retro feel - the Bowie shouts are valid. I'd like to throw in XTC "Making plans for Nigel" as an influence - but who knows?
-
Was very sceptical about the new Keane album - but this is one of 6 great songs after a couple of listens.

What a totally great song! I love it. Uplifting but sad at the same time. Classic Keane.
Who cares if it sounds like Ashes to Ashes. All music is based on older songs. It's how you make it your own that counts and Keane definitely do that.
