(562 views)I would dig a thousand holes to lay next to you
I would dig a thousand more if I needed to
I look around the grave for an escape route of old routines
There doesn’t seem to be any other way
Cause I’ve started falling apart I’m not savouring life
I’ve forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
Crazy as it sounds you wont feel as low as you feel right now
At least that’s what I've been told by everyone
I whisper empty sounds in your ear and hope that you won’t let go
Take the pieces and build them skywards
Cause I've started falling apart I’m not savouring life
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life
Take the pieces and build them skywards
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
Take the pieces and build them skywards
I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life
Take the pieces and build them skywards
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
Take the pieces and build them skywards
I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life
Take the pieces and build them skywards
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
Take the pieces and build them skywards
Take the pieces and build them skywards
and
Take the pieces and build them skywards
and
Take the pieces and build them up to the sky.

The Enemy may be at #1 in the Virgin Radio Album Chart for a second week with 'We'll Live And Die In These Towns' but the big news is in the Singles Chart where Rihanna is sitting very, very pretty at the top for an incredible 10th week with her 'Umbrella'.
She's only the seventh artist to have the accolade of 10 weeks at #1 and the first to do so in over a decade - it's the first song to do it since Wet Wet Wet's 'Love Is All Around' in 1994. People must like because of all the terrible weather!
Away from Rihanna's ode to rain canopies (her candy floss would get wet without them, after all), there are new entries from Amy MacDonald at #12 with 'Mr Rock & Roll' and Biffy Clyro at #18 with their beautiful new single 'Folding Stars'. Look out for a session from them very soon.
Back in the Album Chart, Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts takes his 'One Chance' album to #2. This might be his only chance but he's grabbing it with both hands. Just like the Cambodian prime minister did in his time.
Behind the unfortunately-named former mobile phone salesman are the classic rock supergroup Traveling Wilburys with their collection, and a re-entry from Kings Of Leon at #4 with 'Because Of The Times'.
There aren't any other new entries but there is another re-entry from White Stripes at #14 with 'Icky Thump' and a massive climb for Mark Ronson from #25 to #8 with 'Version', no doubt helped by Lily Allen's great take on Kaiser chiefs' 'Oh My God'.

Last week's No. 1, 'Puzzle' by Biffy Clyro, has dropped to #11 following their Wembley Stadium appearance with Muse, allowing Traveling Wilburys the chance to take the top spot.
They are the supergroup containing Tom Petty and Bob Dylan among others who have released a collection of their work from over the decades. Bon Jovi is in at #2 with their new album 'Lost Highway' and Queens of the Stone Age are at #3 following their Wireless appearance, with 'Era Vulgaris'.
The Police fly in at #4 with their Best Of and The Who are in at #14 with theirs. Not much else is really happening this week, but Rhianna is still at #1 with her single, 'Umbrella'
