B
The coldest shoulder cast in metal, frozen to the bone,

to rely on hook, line and sinker, what a sinker, sinking like a stone.
You'd be better of alone

G Asus4
Bring to me my big old sweater, nothing more will make me better
Play verse 1 with there lyrics (of verse 2):
--------------------------------------------
I met her on a Monday and my heart did nothing new
Seems she thought of me as some mystic, fatalistic,
Mystical guru.
Me, I'haven't got a clue.
But floating on a migc carpet high above the earth,
You can see the world like a Buddha, bread and Buddha,
Bigger thant you hurt.
Don't you know that love is work?
Play chorus 1 with these lyrics (of chorus 2):
----------------------------------------------
Cold, no heat on the horizon, guess I'm cold,
And Capricorn is rising, yes I'm cold.
Listened to my old friend Nockles,
Hoped that it would warm the cockles
Middle:
-------
B A
You can't fight the fear, you can't, this is the road you're on.
E D
You don't belong to me you don't belong to anyone
B A
Your reputation lies not in your eyes but those who dare
E
will bite the hand that feeds when it don't meet your needs
F# G
when you got blood to bleed you got a life to lead...
B
Aadd9 C#
In the flood with my blood I can hold you in the flood with my blood
Play chorus 1, and then
Chorus 4:
---------
E G6 E G6
Cold no heat on the horizon, guess I'm cold there'll be no compromising
E G6 Asus4
Cold, cool, cold, stone
E G6 E G6
cold, stone cold, stone cold, stone cold, stone | repeat and fade out

| A very bitter song, I think... A woman thought she found the man of her life, but, as time goes by, she gets absolutely tired of standing his apparent coldness. She put so much expectancies upon his shoulder... At a first sight, she thought his coldness was just a spiritual thing, but it was actually an incredible difficulty for being loved. By his turn, he thought she could teach him how to be warmer on feeling her affection ("Don't you know that love is work"), but she was so disappointed about him that she betrayed him ("Your reputation lies not in your eyes, but those who dare / Will bite the hand that feeds when it don't meet your needs). And this total lack of communication&understanding between them has turned this relationship impossible ("no heat on the horizon guess I'm cold / There'll be no comprimising"). "The coldest shoulder cast in metal Frozen to the bone To rely on hook, line and sinker What a sinker Sinking like a stone You'd be better off alone" Thus, she simply gets rid of him on 'killing' him (in a metaphorical way, I suppose) and he's convinced now his fate is to be eternally cold... Note 1: According to a fan site, "Nockles is Nicky Holland, Roland's former songwriting partner.". Note 2: Capricorn sign: "Individuals born under this sign are thought to have an ambitious, patient, responsible, stable, trustworthy, shrewd and persistent character but one which is also prone to COLDNESS, conservatism, materialism and dullness.". | |

| From the memoriesfade site: According to Roland in the Elemental EPK, this song is the account of an encounter with a photographer in Germany that was trying to take pictures of him while he was on-stage. She was trying to get Roland's attention, but he wasn't in the mood for photos and kept turning his face away and giving her the "cold shoulder", so to speak. He eventually received a note from her later on that said 'how can someone who makes such warm music be so cold?' Hence the title of the song. | |
