Honey, you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I come here to talk
I hope you understand

The Green Eyes
Yeah, the spotlight shines upon you
And how could anybody deny you?

I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter now I met you
And, Honey, you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green Eyes

Honey, you are the sea
Upon which I float
And I came here to talk
I think you should know

The Green Eyes
You're the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who tried to deny you
Must be out of their mind

Because I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter since I met you
Honey, you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green Eyes
Green Eyes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Honey, you are a rock
Upon which I stand

This CD got me through a lousy divorce...which my ex liked too, oddly enough.  Why is nothing in life clean cut?

This song cracks me up because Queen Gwyneth hath forbade Chris Martin to sing this song live anymore because it is about an Ex! What a puss!{#Lol} This song is pretty good, back in those few years when they were actually musically relevant.

Many bad comments as usual for coldplay. But the rating tells another story!! Nice song BTW!

I really love the sound of this song, the lyrics are so pure, the melody caught my attention right away.  I haven't heard anyone else do this song, but would like to hear other versions, just out of curiosity.  I think I'd like to do this song myself!

No intention to be rude.  Somebody mentioned Kool-Aid and I thought I'd share my Kool-Aid joke.  I haven't met anybody yet that didn't think it was funny.

This album is great. IMHO the best of Coldplay. Parachutes has the greatest Coldplay song: Yellow. But the whole album is not a complete piece of art. The X&Y album seems to be a bit pretentious

Heh. I agree, that is a good one. I cant tell eye colors apart sometimes in the blue/green spectrum, they have to be very rich in one direction or the other. And if the person is an actress that's appeared on magazine covers that, I swear, adjust their eye color to match the masthead of the magazine, I am all the more lost. That's just me.

I think Bill and I may have been on the same wavelength when this tune was followed once by Johnny Cash. I'd love to have heard it among Cash's repertoire of 'modern' covers; it's a solid country song in the least.

You know, I agree, nothing innovative or progressive, just an acoustic jam and whatnot, but I like this song as well. I might be partial to it because I have green eyes. But a girl can't be blamed for being sentimental on occasion.

Will gladly send my copy of this CD to anyone in the world if they pick up the tab for postage. I need the shelf space for music I actually listen to. Bought this a couple of years ago because of the buzz, then actually listened to it...once. Extremely overrated band, IMO.

Although I love AROBTTH, I think X&Y is a much more clever album. Shows an amazing musical progress. Man, that Square One intro blows my mind! and oh boy that Kraftwerk reference in Talk really impressed me.

I'd say you taste pretty bad, but that's just a guess considering your distance. Coldplay are the cure to complexity. Sometimes this is a good thing.

Touche. You know what though, Bill has mentioned that he tends to play a lot of cuts off new albums, so I'm thinking the run of Coldplay songs we have heard off this album is the result of that. When their new album comes out I suspect we'll be hearing quite a few cuts off that album as well.
Its a damn good album. You won't hear me complaining. This is just a simple love song. It manages to be sincere, but not sappy. I love it.

Is Colplay capable of creating bad music? They are amazing - truly fresh sounds yet amid strains that always seem vaguely familiar. Hope Gwenyth doesn\'t screw them up...
