The band were founded at the University of Dundee in 1994 by Lightbody, Mark McClelland, and Michael Morrison of Shrug. After briefly using the name Polarbear, releasing the EP Starfighter Pilot (1997) and losing Morrison as a member, the band became Snow Patrol in 1997 and added Quinn to its lineup. Their first two studio albums, Songs for Polarbears (1998) and When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up (2001), released by the independent record label Jeepster Records, were commercially unsuccessful. The band then signed to the major record label Polydor Records in 2002.
Connolly joined Snow Patrol in 2002, and after their major-label debut album, Final Straw, the following year, with "Run", the album's biggest hit, the band rose to national fame. The album was certified 5x platinum in the UK. Their next studio album, Eyes Open (2006), and its hit single, "Chasing Cars"—reported in 2019 to be the most-played song of the 21st century on UK radio—propelled the band to greater international fame. The album topped the UK Albums Chart and was the best-selling British album of the year. In 2008, Snow Patrol released their fifth studio album, A Hundred Million Suns; then, in 2009, they released their first compilation album, Up to Now; and, in 2011, their sixth studio album, Fallen Empires, was published. The band released their seventh album, Wildness, on 25 May 2018.
During the course of their career, Snow Patrol have won seven Meteor Ireland Music Awards and been nominated for six Brit Awards and one Grammy. Final Straw, Eyes Open, and A Hundred Million Suns have sold ten million copies worldwide, combined.

100 Things You Should Have Done In Bed
Snow Patrol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm still tied to the bed
Can you come here?
When you come, would you please bring a knife
And cure me down
'Cause this is larger than life and I'm frightened
A hundred things you should have done in bed
But you never had the chance to try them
I'm drained and I'm dry and I'm sore
It's not that bad if she could be here all the time
It would kill me
I think I've been broken in tow and I can't scream
The lyrics to Snow Patrol's song One Hundred Things You Should Have Done in Bed are a depiction of a person who is emotionally and physically drained after an intense experience in bed. The person is still tied to the bed and unable to leave, perhaps due to the overwhelming emotions that are still haunting them. They are asking for help to be freed from this situation, desperately wanting to escape from the aftermath.
The line “A hundred things you should have done in bed, but you never had the chance to try them” is a reference to the missed opportunities in life. The singer reflects on the things they had hoped to experience in bed but never had the opportunity to explore. This line also hints at the dreams that people have which they are unable to fulfill, leaving them feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied.
The chorus of the song talks about how the singer feels broken and unable to scream. It seems as though they are overwhelmed by the experience they have just had, leaving them feeling empty and incapable of expressing themselves. The final line, "It's not that bad if she could be here all the time, it would kill me" perhaps highlights the bittersweet nature of the experience. The singer has been pushed to the brink but is unable to let go of the intense emotions that the experience has created for them.
Line by Line Meaning
I haven't left here yet, but I'm trying
I'm physically present, but my mind is elsewhere and I want to leave
I'm still tied to the bed
I'm stuck in a situation that I can't control
Can you come here?
I need someone to be with me, to help me cope
When you come, would you please bring a knife
I need someone to cut me free from my emotional restraints
And cure me down
I need someone to help me relax and relieve my pain
'Cause this is larger than life and I'm frightened
I'm overwhelmed by the situation and I'm scared
A hundred things you should have done in bed
There are countless experiences one should have in life, but sometimes we miss out on them
But you never had the chance to try them
Opportunities come and go, and sometimes we're left regretting what we missed
At least the dog has a smile on its face
Despite everything, there is still some positivity in the world
I'm drained and I'm dry and I'm sore
I'm emotionally depleted, mentally exhausted, and physically hurting
It's not that bad if she could be here all the time
Having someone by my side makes things bearable, even if they're not perfect
It would kill me
I couldn't survive without the love and support of those close to me
I think I've been broken in tow and I can't scream
I've been dragged down by a heavy burden and I can't express my distress

I wonder what drugs they were tripping off when they made this video.
