Well i've just heard only superstition recently and the first lyric of the song is really starting to bug me. I've looked for the songs lyrics on at least five different websites, all of which have given me seperate words to the first line!

 

The cardboard head I see....

A cardboard inner city....

Look up ahead I see....

 

It's RIDICULOUS. But I did go to the official coldplay site and they gave me:

 

A copper head I see...

 

Which I guess is the most reliable source, but still having all these different lyrics is extremely confusing, don't u think?

I recently got the ep as well and wondered the same thing

 

 

heres the lyrics got them off the front page.

 

 

 

A cardboard head

I see has found its way to me,

It's old and it's old and it's old

Making me cry.

I sleep but I will not move,

Too scared to leave my room

But I won't be defeated, oh no.

What if cards don't go my way?

And it's sure to spoil my day.

But in voices loud and clear

you say to me "it's only superstition.

It's only your imagination,

It's only all of the things that you fear

and the things from which you can't escape."

Keep clean for the thousandth time

Stand still and wait and line.

Some numbers are badder than others, oh no.

What if cards don't go my way?

And it's sure to spoil my day

But in voices loud and clear you say to me

"it's only superstition.

It's only your imagination

It's only all of the things that you fear

and the things from which you cannot expect."

But it's making me cry, and it's making me cry

And I'm slipping away and I'm slipping away

It's only superstition, only your imagination

It's only superstition, only superstition.

Yeah I agree, thats a pretty weird song lyrically... :P

thanks for those lyrics sunking, i guess that pretty much clarifies everything...

 

but now to the question of why/how the OFFICIAL coldplay site got them wrong :confused:

i could never figure what that said either! :/ Im still not 100% which one it is! To me it sounds most like 'a cardboard head i see'
