The rather simplistic (but beautiful) opening track of Parachutes. An earlier version of the song is also the second track on The Blue Room EP, released in October 1999. The title is a reference to Douglas Adams' sci-fi comedy classic A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Bones, sinkin' like stones
All that we fought for

We live in a beautiful world

Yeah, we do, yeah, we do
We live in a beautiful world

There's nothin' here to run from
'Cause yeah, everybody here's
Got somebody to lean on
