So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention, do you
I know you don't listen to me
'Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you
But on and on from the moment I wake
To the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in a line
Just to see if you care
Do you want me to change
Well I change for good
And I want you to know
That you always get your way
I wanted to say
Don't you shiver, shiver, sing it loud and clear
I'll always be waiting for you
So you know how much I need you
But you never even see me, do you
And is this is my final chance of getting you
And on and on from the moment I wake
To the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
Just to see if you care
If you care
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Did she want me to change
Well I change for good
And I want you to know
That you'll always get your way
I wanted to say
Don't you shiver
Don't you shiver
Sing it loud and clear
I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
For you I will always be waiting
And it's you I see, but you don't see me
And it's you I hear, so loud and so clear
I sing it loud and clear
And I'll always be waiting for you
So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention

This album is 20 years old. So, now that it can be considered a classic, can I like it or Coldplay is still not cool to like?
awesome song from a great album.

Well said
Amazing band that is even better live
Jesus Christ, Chris.
Are you making a promise, or a threat?
Congratulations on writing a stalker anthem that out-creeps "Every Breath You Take."

The band is okay and so is the singer, but he's not convincing. Its more like he just likes to hear his own voice.

Meandering tune, lost lyrics, and awful, just awful voice. Please avoid those high notes Chris, your voice isn't meant for that, nor are my ears meant to hear it.

answer he didn't. he joined one and then the founder left. and also left him the band name, which really isn't that inspiring... Cold-play... the BEATLES or the RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS it ain't.
should have called it Chris Martin and his Coldsores

For many years I lived in isolation in the African bush. Friends would send me CDs and I could listen to them independent of all other influences. I loved this CD and it was years before I discovered that according to some people I shouldn't love it. I miss those times. And do you know what, I'm happy to ignore 'some people'. Love what you love and forget the rest of 'em.

Only 4 - Acceptable from me
Just an amazing album. Every tune is a keeper.
Very nice!
Nice tune, really channelling Jeff Buckley here.
No dude, those high notes aren't working. Is this a Dirk Diggler recording session moment?

Thank goodness that RP never plays songs that got constant radio airplay 40-50 years ago and countless times since!
I hate that the "we do not expect RP to play mainstream" only applies to bands from the last 20 years or so, but music that you've heard a thousand times since it came out is exempt. The only thing I expect from Radio Paradise is that the community will find well-performed songs, even songs that appear on Clear Channel radio now, and that Bill & Rebecca will mix them into the marvelous blend that we enjoy here.

Some people are so classy and distinguished that their monocles fall out and get lost in their ascots when they hear Coldplay - or any bands who are commercially successful. More people probably just strongly dislike Chris Martin's voice.
I personally strongly dislike the lyrics in this song. He should have been embarrassed coming away with that whiny rubbish. That's the sort of thing you expect from love struck teenagers not a grown man. To paraphrase it "I'm so crap, how can you have something better to do than save me, I'll let you get your own way all the time, I'm inept". What's he after, a sympathy shag?

The whiniest lyrics in the history of music. This is the guff you'd expect from a 12 year old not a grown man. "you'll always get your way, I'm so craaaap, blaaaaah". Utter turgid bilge water.
Its ok. Would like it more without whatever percussion instrument is making that clicking sound that pops in and out.

I was feeling generous and in a good mood. I give it a 3. That might make it the best Coldplay song ever. Or something.
Why is this being played on a class radio station? It's just torrid.

Good tune. But overplayed. It needs to spend some time in the musical equivalent of the attic trunk. Say a decades worth of time?
The dog left the room when this came on.

Review The Song (79)
So I look in your direction,
But you pay me no attention, do you?
I know you don't listen to me.
'cause you say you see straight through me, don't you?
And on and on from the moment I wake,
To the moment I sleep,
I'll be there by your side,
Just you try and stop me,
I'll be waiting in line,
Just to see if you care.
Did you want me to change?
Well I changed for good
And I want you to know.
That you'll always get your way
I wanted to say,
Don't you Shiver?

Sing it loud and clear
I'll always be waiting for you,

This song Live in Seattle May 2012.....Awesome. The WHOLE show was so fun. Production + music = BEST total concert experience, since I saw Pink Floyd (minus Roger) in early 90's.....and I have seen what I believe is a wide variety of world class, regional favorites, local favorites, unknowns, genre upon genre, over the many years. Radio paradise is the BOMB! I'm spreading the word! 
Following the virtuosity of Copeland, Kraus, Ma, this sounds like what it is: Cheap Chinese plastic from Wal-Mart.

Having a very distinctive voice and singing style is both a blessing and a curse.

Maybe it's just my predisposition of liking anyone I see on Austin City Limits, but whatever, I like 'em.
honestly, is there anyone out there that can stand this band?

Sounds like he is channeling Tim Buckley in a rambling mess

I tend to agree. Sure, they still put out a decent tune now and again, but I wouldn't really miss anything they've released after Rush of Blood.
This is a great album, sad that they are still playing music though cause they suck ass now! This song, though gets a 7.

Seems so generic to me, but I guess it resonates in some people? It's too eager for me to read my jaded self into it. Makes me want Lou Reed and a Scotch.

My then girlfriend and I would listen to it a lot.
But eventually I realized that these guys were going nowhere fast, and the charm was gone.

Now that's an oxymoron! IMO this is typical efficient Coldplay and nice enough, but I wish that yer man had laid off the falsetto. Is there some kind of virility test amongst male vocalists, that they have to do a falsetto now and again even when their voices can't hack it? Morrissey was an egregious example of this, but plenty of others could be named, I'm sure. 6 from the Nottingham jury.
Exceptionally mediocre.

It's nice, but after listening to this several times, it seems too much. I bought the Cd though, the only one from this band. I enjoy listening to it here, on RP, amongts other songs. In Chinese there is an expression for that, it's just Ma Ma Hu Hu
Very Buckley-esque.

thank goodness for the lunch bell... I don't have to listen to coldplay!
I am a coldplay fan. But this is one of the worst ones.

Agreed. I really liked this CD when it came out ... but their new stuff is just awful IMHO.
