Singles

  • I float through the ceiling
    And into your eyes
    Call me what you like
    • "Call Me What You Like"

  • And don't make a sound
    The wolf's at the door
    And all your street fighting years won't help you anymore
    • "Wolf at the Door"

  • You're aching you're breaking
    And I can see the pain in your eyes

    You fall on me for anything you like
    • "This Is the Last Time"

  • And if you have a minute why don't we go,
    Talk about it somewhere only we know?

    Somewhere only we know?
    • "Somewhere Only We Know"

  • I know you think I'm holding you down
    And I've fallen by the wayside now,

    But I do

    Though all the world is broken
    • "Atlantic"

  • Nothing left besides this old cathedral
    Just the sad lonely spires
    How do you make it right?

    Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
    Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?

    You're having such a nice time

Hopes and Fears

  • We might as well be strangers in another town
    We might as well be living in another time
    We might as well
    We might as well
    We might as well be strangers
    For all I know of you know
    For all I know
    • "We Might as Well Be Strangers", Hopes and Fears (2004)

  • For a moment your eyes open and you know
    All the things I ever wanted you to know
    I don't know you
    And I don't want to
    Til the moment your eyes open and you know
    • "Your Eyes Open"

  • Lonely people
    Tumble downwards
    And my heart opens up to you
    When she says she has no time
    For you now
    • "She Has No Time"

  • The motion
    keeps my heart
    running
    • "Can't Stop Now"

  • I should know
    Can anybody find their home?
    Out of everyone
    Can anybody find their home?
    Lost in the sun
    Can anybody find their home?
    • "Sunshine"

  • I saw you
    Were sick and tired of my wrong turns
    If you only knew
    The way I feel I'd really love to tell you
    But I
    Can never find the words to say
    And I don't know why
    I can't find the words to say
    I don't know why...
    • "On A Day Like Today"

  • Who ate your heart?
    You're cold inside
    You're not the one I hoped for
    I'll see you on the other side
    I'll see you on the other side
    • "Untitled 1"

Under the Iron Sea

  • You must think I'm a fool;
    So prosaic and awkward and all.
    D'you think you've got me down?
    D'you think I've never been out of this town?
    • "Leaving So Soon?", Under the Iron Sea (2006)

  • Where will I meet my fate?
    Baby I'm a man, I was born to hate, and
    When will I meet my end
    In a better time you could be my friend...
    • "A Bad Dream"

  • Say a word or two to brighten
    My day
    D'you think that you could see your way
    To lay yourself down?
    And make it so but you don't want to know
    You take much more than I'd ever ask for...
    • "Hamburg Song"

  • Time goes by at such a pace
    It's funny how it's easy to forget her face
    You hide the cracks the facts will found you
    Turn your back and leave the lonely days behind you now
    • "Put It Behind You"

  • But I was made the way I am
    I'm not a stone
    I'm just a man
    Lay down your arms
    And I will lay down mine
    Rip back the time that we've been wasting
    • "Try Again"

  • Who says a river can't leave its waters?
    Who says you walk in a line?
    Who says a city can't change its borders?
    Who says you're mine?
    • "Broken Toy"

  • You will lie in a deep sleep
    That's when your prince's crown
    Cracks and falls down
    Your castle hollow and cold
    You've wandered so far
    From the person you are
    Let go brother, let go
    'Cause now we all know...
    • "The Frog Prince"

Tim Rice-Oxley

  • I don't know whether Keane will survive.
  • Our image, if we have one, has been shaped only by me, Tom and Richard and the songs we write.
  • I have half of a great song.. a song called "The Frog Prince".
  • Some people won't like that we're not hard rock. We're not like Coldplay.
  • I'm like a child genius, without being a child or a genius.
  • I want an 11 out of ten, because I'm soooo sexy.
  • Tom sleepwalks in a very amusing way occasionally. He's been known to wake up in hotel lobbies in his pants.
  • I don't think anyone could be a good artist, without being a bit of a freak.

Tom Chaplin

  • People often say that they wish they'd been around in the 60s, but we're happy just where we are. We love rock's back catalogue, and now we've got a chance to add to it. After all, tunes never go out of fashion.
  • We've never wanted to be a small, cult band. We want to get our music heard by as many people as we possibly can, because that's why we're making it.
  • This song ("She Has No Time") is about a girl who gave me the best weekend of my life... and never called again.
  • It was crazy to play at the Forum the day after the album came out!
  • When I was a kid I remember going with a microphone shouting "I am so cool!"
  • I don't have a problem singing those words. Tim's being honest. And I think as a band, that's what people like about us. We expose real feelings.
  • It's a small bird... native to Britain.
  • That would just be like a little mouse in the corner of my massive ego.

Richard Hughes

  • Giving the loudest person I knew a microphone wasn't something I was very keen on.
  • I'm the drummer from Keane, why would anyone give a shit?
  • Well the fact is that in 1998 we were supported by Coldplay…
  • Is that supposed to be on fire?
  • Whoa! That's on fire!
  • What are you filming me for?
  • Good looking drummers.
