# You'll never be what is in your heart

# You're not as brave as you were at the start

# And waste it on fixing all the problems

# You know that you have seen this all before

# You'll never settle any of your scores

# Your grace is wasted in your face

# Your boldness stands alone among the wreck

# Spend your days biting your own neck

How are you doing Radio 1 Big Weekend?

CHEERING We are Mumford Sons and we are

very glad to be in Exeter. Will play some new ones and some old

ones. # Oh, babe, meet me

in Tompkins Square Park # You and I both know

this all too well # No, they don't,

they say they don't # It might as well

have been a thousand # You and I both know

this all too well # No, they don't,

they say they don't # And we can talk it

round again, girl # Round and round,

round and round again # If only things

were black and white # You and I both know

this all too well CHEERING

Thank you very much! Have you had a good day?

CHEERING # And I'm running

through these walls # Everything you're

trying to say to me # Everything you're

trying to say to me # If I'm gonna have to guess

what's on your mind # Well, I don't even

# Anything you're trying to say to me

# If I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind

# If I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind

CHEERING Thank you.

# And in the middle of the night

# There'll be no value in the strength

# There'll be no comfort in the shade

# I know I tried I was not stable

# There'll be no value in the strength

# There'll be no comfort in the shade

CHEERING Thank you very much!

Ladies and gents, in January this year we went to South Africa and

made a mini album with some friends of ours. It's our great honour to

invite two of those people to join us. Mamadou Sakho is going to play

some profession and Baaba Maal on the vocals!

# In the cold light I live to love and adore you

# It's all that I am It's all that I have

# In the cold light I live, I only lived for you

# It's all that I am It's all that I have

# So I opened up my eyes To a new light

# I wandered round your darkened land all night

# But I lift up my eyes To a new height

# And indeed there will be time In the cold light

# It's all that I am It's all that I have

# In the cold light I live, I only lived for you

# It's all that I am It's all that I have

# And in the cold light I live to love and adore you

# It's all that I am It's all that I have

# And in the cold light I live to love and adore you

# It's all that I am It's all that I have

# And in the cold light I live to love and adore you

# It's all that I am It's all that I have

Thank you! Thank you very much. CHEERING

Thank you! Give it up once again Mamadou and Baaba Maal!

Are you ready for a dans? CHEERING -- for a dance?

# It's empty in the valley of your heart

# The sun, it rises slowly as you walk

# And all the faults you've left behind

# The harvest left no food for you to eat

# You cannibal you meat-eater you see

# But I have seen the same I know the shame in your defeat

# But I will hold on hope and I won't let you choke

# On the noose around your neck and I'll find strength in pain

# And I will change my ways I'll know my name as it's called again

# 'Cause I have other things to fill my time

# You take what is yours and I'll take mine

# Now let me at the truth which will refresh my broken mind

# So tie me to a post and block my ears

# I can see widows and orphans through my tears

# I know my call despite my faults and despite my growing fears

# But I will hold on hope and I won't let you choke

# And I will change my ways and I'll find strength in pain

# I'll know my name as it's called again

# So come out of your cave walking on your hands

# And see the world hanging upside down

# You can understand dependence when you know the maker's land

# So make your siren's call and sing all you want

# I will not hear what you have to say 'cause I need freedom now

# And I need to know how to live my life as it's meant to be

# And I will hold on hope and I won't let you choke

# On the noose around your neck and I'll find strength in pain

# I'll know my name as it's called again #.

Who here is from Devon? CHEERING

OK. Who is from Cornwall? CHEERING

SOME BOOING a little bit of tension, I like it.

Who is from somewhere else? CHEERING

It is a good shire. # Well, I came home

like a stone # And I will wait

I will wait for you # And I will wait

I will wait for you # And I will wait

I will wait for you CHEERING

Thank you very much! CHEERING

You guys are awesome. And all you wonderful people at the back, dance

your hearts out, you people are awesome.

How are you doing at the back, are you OK?

CHEERING We see you dancing.

# As one reminds the other of the past

# A life lived much too fast to hold onto

# Another dry month waiting for the rain

# And I had been resisting this decay

# And this is all you came across those years ago

# Don't tell me that I've changed because that's not the truth

# The world outside just watches as we crawl

# Crawl towards a life of fragile lines

# As I hold you for the last time in this life

# This life I tried so hard to give to you

# Where I used to end was where you start

# And this is all you came across those years ago

# Don't tell me that I've changed because that's not the truth

# Where I used to end was where you start

# And now I see your eyes move too fast

# And wandering without that much to say

# Your words are empty as the bed we made

# And this is all you came across those years ago

# Don't tell me that I've changed because that's not the truth

# The young man stands on the edge of his porch

# The days were short and the father was gone

# There was no one in the town and no one in the field

# This dusty barren land had given all it could yield

# I've been kicked off my land at the age of 16

# And I have no idea where else my heart could have been

# I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill

# And now I am sure my heart can never be still

# So collect your courage and collect your horse

# And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse

# I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide

# To face what I've done and do my time

# Well, you are my accuser, now look in my face

# Your oppression reeks of your greed and disgrace

# How can you love what it is you have got

# When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?

# Liars and thieves, you know not what is in store

# There will come a time I will look in your eye

# You will pray to the God that you've always denied

# Then I'll go out back and I'll get my gun

# I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"

# I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide

# To face what I've done and do my time

# I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide

# To face what I've done and do my time

APPLAUSE CHEERING

# I know what I've done, cos I know what I've seen

# I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"

Thank you very much. APPLAUSE CHEERING

Thank you so much to Radio 1 you've always been really switched to our

band, we've got to thank you. Have a great day tomorrow. This is our last

song. Give it up for this song. # Your eyes follow like

tracers in the night # You have been weighed,

you have been found wanting # You better keep the wolf

back from the door # I promised you

everything would be fine # Cos you were

all I ever longed for APPLAUSE

CHEERING Thank you very much, have a good

one! Beautiful stuff, thank you so much

# With all of my flaws and all of your floors are laid out one by one

# A wonderful part of the mess that we made we pick ourselves under an

# All of your floors and all of my flaws they live their hand in hand

# Ones we've inherited, ones that we learn they pass from man to man

# There's a hole in my soul I can't fill

# There's a whole in my soul, can you feel it can you feel it

# You have always worn your flaws up on your sleeve ash macro and I've

always read them deep beneath the ground

# Dig them up let's finish what we started

# Dig them up so nothing is left # All of your flaws and all of my

flaws # We'll see that we need

them to be who we are # You have always worn your

flaws upon your sleeve # And I have always buried them

deep beneath the ground # Dig them up - let's

finish what we started # Dig them up -

so nothing's left unturned # When all of your flaws

and all of my flaws are counted # You have always worn your

flaws upon your sleeve # And I have always buried them

deep beneath the ground # Dig them up - let's

finish what we started # Dig them up -

so nothing's left unturned # are laid out one by one

and all of my flaws #Look

at the wonderful mess that we made But if you close your eyes does it

almost feel like nothing changed at all

# And if you close your eyes does it almost feel like you've been here

before? # How I'm going to be an optimist

about this # How am I going to be an optimist

about this? # How am I gonna be

an optimist about this? # We were caught up and lost

in all of our vices # In your pose as the dust

settled around us # And the walls kept tumbling down

In the city that we love # Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o

an optimist about this? Thank you so much! All right, let's

see how high you guys can jump all right?

# Bringing darkness from above

# Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o an optimist about this?

CHEERING Thank you so, so much!
