In what way will lights ignite her bones Chris? and how does that fit with the general well meaning ‘I want to help’ message in the rest of the song?

At Ma Hayman’s and she’s playing Coldplay on her Alexa. The line ‘and ignites your bones’ ruins ‘Fix You’. It just rhymes. It’s the only reason it’s there. He needed to spend another half hour on that.

I have talked to two very optimistic football fans about this, this week and I know nothing about football but secretly thought what you’re saying so kept my mouth shut.

If you're in the West End today, there's a beautiful collection of Ghanaian and other African record sleeves on show as part of an installation by Harris Elliott in the basement at The Casbah gallery on Little Portland St.
