Hey all,

 

I'm a long-time Coldplay song, have seen them in concert once already. One thing I love about Chris is how he will alter song lyrics depending on where he is at, so I was wondering if we could compile his funny changes during concerts on this post. Contribute with the lyric change, song, and concert (and context, if pertinent)!

 

"That shouldn't have been a penalty in the first place" - GPASUYF, Sydney 07/2006 after Australia lost to Italy in the World Cup on a late penalty

"For 2 months they'll put me away

Cos I took some photos in the toilet in Deep Water Bay"

 

and later...

 

"They'll send me away for week

Cos I took a photo in a toilet on the Peak"

 

- Til Kingdom Come, Hong Kong, July 13, 2006. Chris referring to a sign posted in the toilet in Deep Water Bay in Hong Kong prohibiting filming and photo taking which he found amusing.

Now It's Time For Us To Go,

We Had A Great Time But I Think You Already Know,

We Hope You Enjoy It Tomorrow,

That's All I Can Think Of To Sing,

Except This Sentence Which Is Kind Of Extra,

No Really That's All We Have To Say.

 

FIX YOU - GLASTONBURY 2005

 

And IF Your Tent Gets Lost.

 

EVERYTHING'S NOT LOST - GLASTONBURY 2005

Give me piece of mind and Trust

18,000 candians watching us.

 

God Put A Smile Upon Your Face-

 

God gave me style and gave me grace,

God made canadians his favorite race. (then stopped the song and said he never used that line anywhere else)

"Give me your hand, give me a high five, give me a plane crash where everybody survives."

 

- Chris during Politik regarding the plane incident at Pearson Airport. I love it that he stays informed about what happens in our news and that he cares.
