Open up your eyes...
A few people have asked me why I carried around the name 'open up your eyes' on MSN messenger so let me clear this up once and for all because it is a cause close to my heart- third world poverty.
The line comes from the Coldplay song 'Politik' which is about unfair trade that keeps third world coutries mired in poverty. it's on their second album 'A rush of blood to the head' which is mind-numbingly brilliant.
This is what their CD booklet says about it 'For countries to develop or even to survive, they need to be able to trade fairly. At the moment poorer countries are strangled by ridiculous International trade laws and ruthless Western businesses keeping millions trapped in poverty and widening the gap between rich and poor'
And here are the song lyrics:
Look at earth from outer space,
Everyone must find their place,
Give me time and give me space,
Give me real don't give me fake,
Give me strength and self control,
Give me heart and give me soul,
Give me time give us a kiss,
Tell me your own politik.
(Chorus)
Open up your eyes,
Open up your eyes,
Open up your eyes,
Open up your eyes.
Give me one, cause one is best,
You confuse your confidence,
Give me peace of mind to trust,
Don't forget the rest of us,
Give me strength reserve control,
Give me heart and give me soul,
Wounds to heal and cracks to fix,
Tell me your own politik.
(Chorus)
Open up your eyes,
Open up your eyes,
Open up your eyes,
Open up your eyes,
Just open up your eyes.
But give me love over,
Love over, love over this,
But give me love over,
Love over, love over this.
