Parachutes
Forget trashing rooms and rent-a-quotes, just listen.
It's all a question of what you want from your rock stars. The criticism most often levelled at Coldplay (certainly round these parts) is that they will never be the saviours of rock'n'roll. They will never cause front-page tabloid sensation and they really like their parents. Frankly, they're more likely to enjoy a nice cup of tea in front of the TV than throw it out the...

Coldplay - Parachutes: Wikipedia Album Entry
Parachutes is the Grammy award-winning debut album by English rock band Coldplay, released on July 10, 2000 in the UK and on November 7 in the U.S.. Parachutes quickly shot to number one in the United Kingdom, staying in the top ten for thirty-three weeks.
The album produced four hit singles: "Shiver", "Yellow", "Trouble", and "Don't Panic". In the United States, the album peaked at only fifty-one on the Billboard 200 yet, it still managed to sell over two million copies within a year.
Parachutes won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 2002. It was placed at #14 in Channel 4's 100 greatest albums of all time and in 2006 at #33 in NME's 100 greatest British albums. Despite the album's critical and commercial success, lead singer Chris Martin said that Coldplay looks beyond Parachutes. "We know that's terrible music," he said, "and we always try to think about what we can do next."

Coldplay - Parachutes Lyrics
Coldplay - Don't Panic Lyrics
Oh, we're sinking like stones
All the we fall for
All those places we've grown
All of us are done for
Coldplay - Everything's Not Lost Lyrics
When I counted up my demons
Saw there was one for every day
With the good ones on my shoulders
I drove the other ones away
Coldplay - We Never Change Lyrics
I wanna live life and never be cruel
And I wanna live life and be good to you
And I wanna fly and never come down
And live my life and have friends around
Coldplay - Parachutes Lyrics
In a haze, a stormy haze
I'll be 'round, I'll be loving you always, always
Here I am and I'll take my time
Here I am and I'll wait in line always, always
Coldplay - Trouble Lyrics
Oh no, I see
A spider web is tangled up with me
And I lost my head
The thought of all the stupid things I'd said
Coldplay - Sparks Lyrics
Did I drive you away?
I know what you'll say
You'll say, "Oh, sing one we know"
Coldplay - Spies Lyrics
I awake to find, no peace of mind
I said, how do you live as a fugitive?
Down here, where I cannot see so clear
I said what do I know?
Coldplay - Shiver Lyrics
So, I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention, do you?
I know you don't listen to me
'Cos you say you see straight through me, don't you?
Coldplay - High Speed Lyrics
Can anybody fly this thing
Before my head explodes or my head starts to ring?
We've been living life inside a bubble
We've been living life inside a bubble
Coldplay - Yellow Lyrics
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow
