It's whereabouts that won't cave in
Scenes of violence protect this
In aching heart that will begin
To wrestle with obstruction
And I'd stay for ages, if I could
To wake you
I'd stay for ages, if I could
To wake you
In taking hold to waste within
Coping as best as you can with;
The way it is does not have to be
As long as it stays unwritten
And I'd stay for ages, if I could
To wake you
I'd stay for ages, if I could
To wake you
Speak to me in tongues
And you speak in tongues to me
Speak to me in tongues
And you speak in tongues to me
And I'd stay for ages, if I could
To wake you
And I'd stay for ages, if I could
To wake you
And I'd stay for ages,
And I'd stay for ages to wake you

    General Comment:I haven't heard their album so I can't comment I've only heard the quite good Silver and the annoying as hell Falter (Colin's voice just does NOT suit that type of song) but this song is amazing...it's so catchy...I think Hundred Reasons kinda sound like Hell Is For Heroes....but I prefer HIFH...sorry. Muse are deffo the best british band tho!

    General Comment:Roxy, there are a lot of groups that play their own instruments, both better and worse than Hundred Reasons, so that comparison was a little vague...but you're right, they are good!

    General Comment:Hey! Don't automatically knock wrestling fans' IQ just cos of this moron. Hundred Reasons are pretty good - not my favourite band mind - but still good.
    I don't agree with some of the stuff haven said: yes, they're inventive but, their so are bands which sound similar: softer Incubus for starters, ditto Hoobastank and some of the stuff by A is similar too.
    They're not my favourite UK band either - Muse kick the ass off them - but what I wouldn't give to rewind and go to the concert that they played as Muse's support in November. Best British Nu-Metal Act maybe?

    General Comment:okay first of all your screen name is "thehardyz2001uk" which could mean that you watch wrestling, this immediatly puts your IQ down to something really low which in turn means you really shouldn't have an opinion, Hundred Reasons are amazing, if you listen to an album once and you like it, this usually means that there is no real thought put into it because it is soooo straight forward and formulaic, you have to listen to it a bit before you "get them" so to speak, man i don't see how you can slag them off as bad as you do well i can really because chances are you are quite ignorant. they are an inventive band, there are no bands that sound like them which means they are original which gives them a quality all of their own, they are great, and proof enough is that they headlined the Kerrang! stage at the Ozzfest so you are in the minority, i am all for peoples opinions but not from someone as ignorant as you!
