"I can't and I can't decide.

Wrong, wrong from right.

Day, or my day from night.

Dark, or the dark from light.

I live but I love this life."

Things I Don't Understand

Truly amazing Coldplay lyrics

See You Soon

In a telescope lens

And when all you want is friends

 

Spies

I awake to find no peace of mind

I said, "How do you live as a fugitive

Down here where I cannot see so clear?"

I said, "What do I know

Show me the right way to go"

 

And the spies came out of the water

But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know

That the spies hide out in every corner

But you can't touch them no

'Cause they're all spies

They're all spies

 

I awake to see that no one is free

We're all fugitives

Look at the way we live

Down here I cannot sleep from fear no

I said, "Which way do I turn?"

Oh I forget everything I learn

 

And the spies came out of the water

And you're feeling so bad 'cause you know

That the spies hide out in every corner

But you can't touch them no

'Cause they're all spies

They're all spies

 

And if we don't hide here

They're gonna find us

And if we don't hide now

They're gonna catch us where we sleep

Ah and if we don't hide here

They're gonna find us

 

And the spies came out of the water

But you're feeling so good 'cause you know

That those spies hide out in every corner

They can't touch you, no

'Cause they're just spies

 

Clocks

Come out of things unsaid

Shoot an apple off my head and a

Trouble that can't be named

A tiger's waiting to be tamed

 

Square One

The future's for discovering the space in which we're travelling

 

Speed Of Sound

Some things you have to believe

Others are puzzles puzzling me

 

Violet Hill

When the future's architectured

By a carnival of idiots on show

You'd better lie low

...

Priests clutched onto bibles

Hollowed out to fit their rifles

And a cross held aloft

 

Cemeteries Of London

I see God come in my garden

But I don't know what he said

For my heart it wasn't open

 

Lovers In Japan

Lovers keep on the road you're on

Runners until the race is run

Soldiers you've got to soldier on

Sometimes even the right is wrong

 

Death And All His Friends

No I don't want a battle from beginning to end

I don't want a cycle of recycled revenge

I don't want to follow death and all of his friends

 

The Goldrush

Now I been digging so long that I never see the sun

"Such a rush to do nothing at all. Such a rush to get nowhere at all."-Such A Rush

 

I really love all of these lines and I just couldn't narrow it down any further than this!:)

to me the best lyric is

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 tirwed but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

 

when you love someone but it goes to waste

could it be worse

EDIT: I can't decide! But lots of my favourites are in KeddieChan's post :D

Some of my favorites are

 

"I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war, if you can tell me something worth fighting for."

 

And then I like this part of Green Eyes, towards the end...

"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"

 

Almost every song they've written has beautiful lyrics but those two stick out in my head, my favorite lyrics change all the time.

It's hard to decide...but I'd say pretty much all of them in Keddie's post below plus "Nothing matters except life and the love you make" - Crests of Waves and "I have no doubt, one day the sun will come out." - Lovers in Japan

Death and All His Friends (the beginning)

 

The end of Death and all his friends is wonderful too! :D

^ I agree! "I don't wany a cycle of recycled revenge." I love that line

"I am cured when I'm by your side"- Careful Where You Stand

 

"And then I looked up at the sun

And I could see

Oh the way that gravity pours

On you and me

And then I looked up at the sky

And saw the sun

And the way that gravity pushes

on everyone..."- Gravity

 

"and the spies came out of the water

and you're feeling so good 'cos you know

that those spies hide out in every corner

they can't touch you no

'cos they're just spies"- Spies

now that i think about it. i have no idea. im singing it in my head.... but i copy/pasted from this websites lyrics :D

 

i just looked it up at coldplay.com...

you are right. and the tracksearch from coldplaying.com is wrong :o

That line from Crests of Waves -

 

"Nothing matters except life and the love we make..." Sublime...

 

Also, don't think anyone has mentioned I Ran Away, plenty of fantastic lyrics in there! -

 

"I have your love on call and yet my day is not so full..."

one of my favorites is from bloodless revolution:

people wanna fight for fun

but what use of battle when wars already been won

people wanna break whats built

theres no use in crying when the milks already been spilt

all of Swallowed in the Sea

 

also

"you know that darkness always turns into light"-what if

My favorite lyrics would have to be Trouble, Amsterdam, and Warning Sign. I can't really pick just one.. but :( they are all such beautiful songs. Some of my favorites...

If I had to choose, my favourite lyrics would be from X&Y :

 

"You and me are floating on a tidal wave...

Together

You and me are drifting into outer space...

And singing"

If I have to choose I would sa that Politik and A Rush of Blood to The Head.. the entire songs.

 

They're just brilliant!!

"I'm floating at the deep end, you've become my best friend. I want to love you but I don't know if I can".

 

"Now the sky could be blue, I don't mind, without you it's a waste of time."

 

"Love don't let me go, won't you take me where the streetlights glow?"

 

Those are some that spring to mind. There's so much good.

"Oh what good is it to live... With nothing left to give... Forget but not forgive... Not loving all you see... All these streets you're walking on... A thousand houses long... Well that's where I belong... And You belong with me... Not swallowed in the sea.:

 

Best. Song. Ever. :heart:
