The Oracle on A Whisper

Q. Dear Oracle, my question is: Why haven't the boys played U.F.O., Don't Let It Break Your Heart and Up With The Birds live? They are part of the album and I feel as if they've been left out, please answer, back to you now.
The Oracle replies:
They have never played all the songs from an album. I'm pretty sure there was one song from each of the first four albums left out (Parachutes from Parachutes, A Whisper from AROBTTH, Twisted Logic from X&Y and Reign of Love from Viva la Vida).
I guess being part of an album doesn't necessarily mean part of a tour is a given. Some songs just don't work live or don't fit into the setlist.
I think your question could be changed to why haven't the boys played those songs yet. They still may; they've got a lot of dates. U.F.O and Up With The Birds could easily be X stage additions at least. It's too early to say whether they'll make an appearance though.
Lyrics
A whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper A whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper I hear a sound The ticking of clocks I remember your face Remember to see when you are lost I hear the sound The ticking of clocks Come back and look for me, look for me When I am lost Just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper Just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper Night turns to day And I still have these questions. Bridges will break Should I go forward or backwards. Night turns to day, And I still get no answers Just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper Just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper I hear the sound The ticking of clocks I remember your face Remember to see when you are lost I hear the sound The ticking of clocks Come back and look for me, look for me When I am lost Just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper Just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper
