Clocks Lyric

lights go out and I can't be saved
tides that I tried to swim against
have brought me down upon my knees
oh, I beg, I beg and pleased singing
come out of the things unsaid
shoot an apple off my head, and a
trouble that can't be named
a tiger's waiting to be tamed singing
you are    you are
confusion that never stops
the closing walls and the ticking clocks, goanna
Come back and take you home
I could not stop, that you now know singing
come out upon my seas
cursed missed opportunities, am I
a part of the cure
or am I part of the disease singing
you are    you are     you are
you are    you are     you are
nothing else compares
nothing else compares
nothing else compares
you are    you are
home, home where I wanted to go
home, home where I wanted to go 

Clocks
The "Clocks" music video was directed by Dominic Leung, who previously worked with artists like Badly Drawn Boy. The video was shot at Docklands' ExCeL Building in London. The video features the band performing the song in front of a staged audience, mostly local college students with a laser show. Stage effects and blue-red light transitions give the video a surreal feel, not to mention the stoic crowd that make up the audience.

Reworked version and remixes
In addition to a remix by Norwegian duo Röyksopp which placed at #5 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2003 (the original version of the song placed at #69 the previous year), there have been several other dance remixes of "Clocks", including those by Clokx and Deep Dish plus a mashup from Gabriel and Dresden's 2003 Essential Mix which appeared on various P2P networks. The track "Should I Go" from Brandy's album Afrodisiac samples the song. It was also covered by the band Gregorian.

On 13 November 2006, the album Rhythms del Mundo by the Buena Vista Social Club was released, featuring a reworked version of "Clocks". It follows a cha-cha-cha style, with a slightly altered piano riff. In July 2007, the track started received major airplay in Puerto Rico, making the song re-enter rotation on popular stations KQ 105 (reached #3) and Mega 106.9 (reached #4)

Musical structure and composition
"Clocks" is in the key of E flat Mixolydian. Built around a repeating piano riff, it features a minimalist soundscape of drums and bass over an aura of synthesizers and strings. Also, the drum pattern seen throughout is a 3/3/2 pattern (snare bass bass, snare bass bass, snare bass)The piano riff and ethereal tone of the song are reminiscent of The Unforgettable Fire by U2. Chris Martin's cryptic lyrics are thought to be about death and the transience of life. The song was recorded at Air Studios, London, at the very end of the sessions for A Rush of Blood to the Head. It was the last song to be recorded and arguably forms the turning-point of the whole album; it was something of a departure from Coldplay's previous style. According to Martin, it was inspired by Muse.
