Intro                                                      Close up shots of instruments - Drums, Guitar.

Pound for pound and cheek to cheek       Band Performance   
Cheek paler than a lamp light
Take me down to light the box
And play super Scalextric                        Clip of Scalextric track

And turn this                 Here the lyrics sing about darkness and light
Darkness                       and in our video we plan to use different
Into light                      lighting affects for the music video
And I'll turn too bright
Forget all the hype              O2 arena lights
I'll need heart and I'll need courage
We all need...

Toe to toe, there's nowhere to go
So I'm tiptoeing around it
I held you down and I held my own
And now I feel like I'm floating

So turn to this
Head on
And keep on
Keeping on

I'll need heart and you'll need courage
We all need time

So let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us     Time is going to be an important theme in our music video
Let's make time work for us    We are playing with the idea of having a clock speed up Let's make time work for us

Let's take our precious time about it     We are going to use lip synching when filming the
Let's take our precious time about it     band playing the song during the chorus
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it

Don't you know, nobody knows
If there's somebody waiting
So you'll hold yourself up and you'll hold yourself in
And then pray that you are growing

And turn to this
Darkness
You turn it into light, and you'll turn too bright
Forget all the hype

You'll need heart and I'll need courage
We all need time

So let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us

Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about

'cause we'll need heart and we'll need courage
In these times
We'll need heart and we'll need courage
In these times
Because time can mean so much  In the last two powerful sentences of the song we plan to
Are you still mine?                      have a close up of the lead singer with a shade of
                                                light on half of his face
