1.	Divine Intervention (single version) 03:33 video	lyrics	buy track
Divine intervention Divine intervention Yeah, I tried to get a message to you But you don’t seem to comprehend my language The words disintegrated into the white noise around your island I can’t understand it Every single time that I try My sounds are met with silence, derision, or laughter I can't even connect with your eyes Yeah, my every attempt is a total disaster Say I don’t know how you feel As if I haven’t tried a hundred times to make a connection I don't know anymore what is real Perhaps the only path that remains is divine intervention When things are going wrong in your world I always seem to be the one that you call on to fix it Panic over, back to the swirl Yeah, you scramble all the code, expect me to decrypt it Every little thing that I try It’s like you only want to know how much you’ll get away with The limit’s somewhere up in the sky Yeah, I score another own goal before I can save it Say I don’t know how you feel As if I haven’t tried a hundred times to make a connection I don't know anymore what is real Perhaps the only path that remains is divine intervention Ooh... Yes, I tried to get a message to you But I don’t think I know how to speak your language What sounds are making their way to you? Is it all lost in translation, a word salad sandwich? Every single thing that I do It’s like I’m put through to somebody else’s extension If nothing's getting over to you Perhaps the only path left anymore is divine intervention (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...) Divine intervention (no, no, I don't know) (I don't know anymore what is real...)

2.	Nothing Else Matters 02:37 video	lyrics	buy track
It might have been the hardest thing I've done Seeing you off on your travels far away I won't pretend I wanted you to go But I know you need your own life too, oh Sat around, wondering what I'd do I think I'd kind of come to depend on you But soon I won't have to live like this anymore 'Cause you're turning around and Any day now, I know I'm gonna see you You can't imagine the feeling when I'm near you It's all I need and it's been so long Won't you hurry back like nothing else matters Every day the air's a little colder There's always someone waiting here to hold you It's what I live for, it's been so long Won't you hurry back like nothing else matters at all Nothing else matters at all Any day now, I know I'm gonna see you You can't imagine the feeling when I'm near you It's all I need and it's been so long Won't you hurry back like nothing else matters Every day the air's a little colder There's always someone waiting here to hold you It's what I live for, it's been so long Won't you hurry back like nothing else matters at all Nothing else matters at all Like nothing else matters at all Like nothing else matters at all Hurry all the way home
