Howard Jones - Collective Heartbeat lyrics

Studio Version (Thoughts and actions?) of words you've spoken Write the scripts of life and open up the possibilities To choose the role you feel happy in Positive and negative Hiding in the fabric of every choice and every wish So choose a role you feel happy in (Choose a role you feel happy in) (Choose a role you feel happy in) (Choose a role you feel happy in) (Choose a role you feel happy in) Here's the card that you've been given It's not much but its neatly written Here's the life that you are living Choose a role that you feel happy in You get hurt and end up leaving But to stay is most revealing Take the knocks and get the meaning Choose a role you feel happy in You're feeling like a stranger in your own world Listen to the Collective Heartbeat You're feeling like a stranger in your own world Listen to the Collective Heartbeat (Choose a role you feel happy in) repeat x8 Beat, Beat Listen to the Collective Heartbeat (You're feeling like a stranger in your own world) (Listen to the Collective Heartbeat) (Thoughts and actions?) words you've spoken Write the scripts of life and open up the possibilities To choose the role you feel happy in Positive and negative Hiding in the fabric of Every choice and every wish So choose a role you feel happy in (Choose a role you feel happy in) (Choose a role you feel happy in) (Choose a role you feel happy in) (Choose a role you feel happy in) You're feeling like a stranger in your own world Listen to the Collective Heartbeat You're feeling like a stranger in your own world Listen to the Collective Heartbeat (Choose a role you feel happy in) repeat x 8 You're feeling like a stranger in your own world Listen to the Collective Heartbeat You're feeling like a stranger in your own world Listen to the Collective Heartbeat Acoustic Version There's a person that I know OK its you and me Keeps coming up against a brick wall Always blaming and complaining but sustaining While their luck doesn't change at all Obstacles and ridicule Are common in his head Does he even listen To that collective heartbeat Here's the card that you've been given Its not much but its neatly written And here's the life that you are living Choose a role that you feel happy in You get hurt and end up leaving But to stay is most revealing Take the knocks and get the meaning Before moving on up to hit the imaginary ceiling Beyond that firewall is a devastating view Take the time to listen to the collective heartbeats Here's the card that you've been given Its not much but its neatly written And here's the life that you are living Choose a role that you feel happy in You can go round it or under it or over it or back away Face on ,head to head Idle away tomorrow but today Here's the card that you've been given Its not much but its neatly written And here's the life that you are living Choose a role that you feel happy in Choose a role that you feel happy in Choose a role that you feel happy in Choose a role that you feel happy in Choose a role that you feel happy in Choose a role that you feel happy in Choose a role that you feel happy in Choose a role that you feel happy in
