May 13, 200620 yr Ok, this is really weird, different sites have different lyrics for the opening bit of Don't Panic. It's either "Bones, sinking like stones" or "Oh, we're sinking like stones" and also either "All those places we've grown" or "Homes, places we've gone". So i'm really confused which one is the actual line cause I keep listening to song over and over and it could be either of the two lines but i'm leaning more towards it being "Oh we're sinking... and All those.."
May 13, 200620 yr Bones, Sinking like stones, all that we've fought for all these/those places we've grown all of us are done for --> correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's it.
May 13, 200620 yr i thought it was homes, places we've grown? right about the first part tho with the bones ;0) hehe!
May 13, 200620 yr Author Why is my mind stuck on thinking it sounds like "Oh we're sinking like stones"
May 13, 200620 yr i think whenever you learn the lyrics like you think they sound its difficult when you find out they;re not right! hehe! It's happened to me many times! lol
May 13, 200620 yr when i listen to it i hear Bones sinking like stones all that we fall for homes places we've grown all of us are done for
May 13, 200620 yr Bones sinking like stones all that we fought for homes places we've grown all of us are done for that's it according to the official site.. and my ears ;)
May 13, 200620 yr oh yeah! lol I noticed that!! I was like........what's THIS?!!!!!!! another B-side?! lol
May 13, 200620 yr It's "Born, sinking like stones" and "Homes, places we've grown" When I listen to it it doesn't sound like "bones" though. I guess we'll never know :P
May 13, 200620 yr Courtesy of coldplay.com...."bones, sinking like stones..... Homes, places we've grown..."
May 13, 200620 yr Bones sinking like stones all that we fought for homes places we've grown all of us are done for that's it according to the official site.. and my ears ;) Well using correct grammar it should be..... Bones sinking like stones all that we've fought for homes places we've grown all of us are done for
April 27, 200818 yr It's "Born, sinking like stones" and "Homes, places we've grown" When I listen to it it doesn't sound like "bones" though. I guess we'll never know :P lol Born, sinking like stones? it's suppose to rhyme I thought. :thinking:
April 27, 200818 yr I never thought it was that complicated, I also knew them to be "Bones, sinking like stones, all that we fought for. Homes, places we've grown, all of us are done for. Coldplaying's tracksearch backs me up, as do most lyric sites. If you need further convincing, check out some live vids on you-tube where you can hear Chris annunciate the lyrics in different, more understandable ways. As for the we/we've debate. It really doesn't matter too much. The f at the beginning of fought causes one to make a v sound anyway. I think the intent was to say 'we fought' instead of 'we've fought for' but the meaning is same. If anything, grammatically speaking, the ' have' that we've abbreviates is an unneccessary complication of the sentence. Since 'We have fought for' is less practical than "We fought for" I don't see why one would still go out of their way to say "We've fought for". But they sound virtually the same, and since they mean the same thing, there's no real point in arguing the matter.
April 27, 200818 yr Yeah, can't believe these lyrics were questioned, they seem pretty obvious to me. There aren't many Coldplay lyrics I can't figure out.
April 27, 200818 yr Some of the lyrics sites can be wrong though. This 'searching your mellow'/Sergio Mello thing is really getting to me now.
April 27, 200818 yr The next person who meets one of the members should ask them immediately about those lyrics!
April 27, 200818 yr Sometimes in Clocks (only sometimes, not all the time) "shoot an apple off my head" sounds a tiny, tiny bit like "shouldn't I pull off my head". Only sometimes though.
April 28, 200818 yr Sometimes in Clocks (only sometimes, not all the time) "shoot an apple off my head" sounds a tiny, tiny bit like "shouldn't I pull off my head". Only sometimes though. I learnt it as that, I SWEAR in the song AND the live 03 DVD it sounded like shouldn't I pull off my head, and it sounds better, like it actually fits to me. But of course it has to be the abstract lyric :lol:
April 28, 200818 yr when i listen to it i hear Bones sinking like stones all that we fall for homes places we've grown all of us are done for same
April 28, 200818 yr Bones, sinking like stones All that we fought for Homes, places we've grown All of us are done for We live in a beautiful world Yeah we do, yeah we do We live in a beautiful world Oh, all that I know There's nothing here to run from Cos here everybody here Got somebody to lean on... :heart:
