to the person who called Martin "the worst lyricist eve

[amcoppin]

Give me strength, reserve control,

Give me heart and give me soul,

Wounds that heal and cracks that fix,

Tell me your own politik

 

 

The green eyes, you're the one that I wanted to find,

And anyone who tried to deny you, must be out of their mind,

Because I came here with a load,

And it feels so much lighter since I met you,

Honey you should know,

That I could never go on without you,

Green eyes, green eyes

 

Maybe you'll get what you wanted

Maybe you'll get what you wanted

maybe you'll stumbled upon it

Everything you ever wanted

In a permanent state

 

Maybe you'll know when you see it

Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it

And when you find it you'll keep it

In a permanent state, a permanent state you

 

 

when you try your best but you don't succeed

When you get what you want but not what you need

When you feel so tired but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

 

When the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone but it goes to waste

could it be worse?

 

Lights will guide you home

and ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

 

Am I part of the cure or

Am I part of the disease?

 

For you I’d bleed my self dry.

For you I’d bleed myself dry.

 

So I look in your direction but

You pay me no attention

And you know how much i

Need you but you never

Even see me.

Brothers and sisters feel fine

no sound, no sound...

[Reilly]

[Ireentje]

Okay, I've got to be honest here and state that I really liked the lyrics on the last two albums better.

yes, chris martin has written some beautiful songs...but i can't defend some of his lyrical work on X&Y.

[eddierofl]

Parachutes and AROBTTH will never be bettered(<?).

 

I've listened to X&Y a lot and I was just as ready to bag out the lyrics as anyone else, but now they have grown on me, especially 'Swallowed By The Sea'. I thought they sounded really forced and just lots of rhyming words, but now I love it. Genius.

[Jan]

The lyrics don't bother me much :smug:

[Soup]

x&y's lyrics are fine. with two albums down people tend to rush

into absorbing songs and this being the third album...

 

well i'm just saying LISTEN to the songs over and over and over.

 

honestly, i doubt "bad" lyrics would ever make it onto an album.

if you have a problem with the lyrics you've either rushed through

the songs way too fast or just are not listening.

 

you don't sell 1000's of albums with just hype. this isn't hiphop.

 

and i'm really surprised people acknowledge half-assed critics like this.

 

Chris Martin a bad lyricist?

 

LIGHTS GO OUT AND I CAN'T BE SAVED

TIDES THAT I TRIED TO SWIM AGAINST

HAVE FOUGHT ME DOWN UPON ME KNEES

OH I BED I BEG AND PLEAD..

 

SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING

AND YOU WANNA TALK...

AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GOING

WHERE YOU'VE BEEN BEFORE...

YOU'LL TELL ANYONE WHO'LL LISTEN

BUT YOU FEEL IGNORED...

NOTHINGS REALLY MAKING ANY SENSE AT ALL

LETS TALK. LETS TA-AH-AH-ALK.

 

you cannot listen to a song like clocks or talk

and not FEEL the distress in those songs.

 

there are good lyricists. then there are EFFECTIVE lyricists.

 

Chris can make you FEEL, UNDERSTAND, IMAGINE.

 

Chris Martin a bad lyricist? Oh fuck off :angry: .
