    A Rush of Blood to the Head

    A Rush of Blood to the Head is the second studio album by British alternative rock band Coldplay. Released on 26 August 2002 in the UK through the label Parlophone, the album was produced by the band and British record producer Ken Nelson. Recording started after the band became popular worldwide with the release of their debut album, Parachutes, and one of its singles in particular, "Yellow". The album makes greater use of electric guitar and piano than its predecessor.

    The album was made available in August 2002, two months after its original planned release date. It was released on 27 August in the United States through Capitol Records. Capitol released a remastered version of the album in 2008 on a 180-gram vinyl record as part of the "From the Capitol Vaults" series. The album debuted and continued their huge commercial legacy, an ongoing pattern that began with Parachutes which made Coldplay one of the best-selling bands worldwide. It topped the UK Albums Chart upon its first week of release in the United Kingdom, and became the eighth biggest-selling album of the 21st century in the UK. The British Phonographic Industry has since certified the album 9× Platinum for its accumulated sales of over 2.8 million units in the UK and over 19 million worldwide. The album spawned the hit singles "In My Place", "The Scientist", and "Clocks". "God Put a Smile upon Your Face" was also released, but was significantly less successful.

    Green Eyes

    by: Wavves

    Green eyes, I'd run away with you
    Green eyes, 'cause I'm a fool
    I try running away
    I'm just not fast enough
    I'm just not fast enough
    My, my own friends
    Hate my guts
    So what? Who gives a fuck?
    Green eyes, I'd run away with you
    Green eyes, 'cause I'm a fool
    I try staying awake
    I'm just not man enough
    I'm just not man enough
    My, my own friends
    Hate me
    But I don't give a shit
    Sky high
    Will I fly high? Maybe
    Soar high, soar right through it
    Green eyes, I'd run away with you
    Green eyes, 'cause I'm a fool
    I try running away
    I'm just not fast enough
    I'm just not man enough
    I would try and understand
    I would try and understand
    That I'm to blame
    'Cause I'm so lame
    I'm just not man enough
    I'm just not man enough
    My, my own friends
    Hate me
    But I don't give a shit
    Fly high
    Will I fly high? Maybe
