Early Winter Lyrics
For style in the place of passion
A rose in the garden
Twisting the knife in my chest
Stamping on whats left
I never was one for crying
I never was one for tears
the moon gravitates around you
The seasons obey you
I never was one for crying
I never was one for tears
Than I was dying
What kind of world is this?
Its only a stone for throwing
Looks like an early winter, alright
An early winter, alright
You turned me over
When you know you are always right
Looks like an early winter, alright
An early winter alright
You turn me over alright
Starting over and over and over again
And it gets too much yeah it gets too much
Starting over and over and over again
And it gets too much yeah it gets too much
Starting over and over and over again
Alright, you turned me over
This is the song Tim wrote with Gwen Stefani and she recorded it. The song he wrote about Tom Chaplin is Broken Toy.
not only Broken toy , he wrote also " thin Air , Hamurg song , Try again , fly to me , nothing in my way and you haven't told me anything " all for Tom .... looks like Tom get him all over ... I'm old fan for keane and I read this for along time ago , you can find also in Wiki this ..

gwen stefani's version is quite different tho... especially 'i never was one for crying' is 'i always was one for crying', changes the whole meaning. i didnt know this was one of keane's songs..?
i think it meanes like the one you love ignor you and just care about shallow things ............ but i heard it's wrote for tom chaplin , about him by tin rice oxley ?

Love this song. Really captures the feeling of going from a cold wet autumn to a cold wet winter. I really love the lyrics:
"No sooner was I born Than I was dying What kind of world is this? Its only a stone for throwing"
Clearly there is a disagreement with a person here ("you turn me over"), but there also seems to be just a general resentment with life, and the way human history is going.
Also, winter is the "death" of the year. Plants die, the year literally ends. It's "too much" to start over (spring is like starting over). Essentially he asks, iIs it worth it to try and fix this relationship if we're all going to die anyway?
