June 4, 200818 yr Life in Technicolor Cemeteries of London Lost! 42 Those who are dead, are not dead, they're just living in my head. And since i fell, for that spell, I am living there aswell. Time is short and I'm sure, there must be something more. Those who are dead, are not dead, are just living in my head. And since I fell, for that spell, I am living there aswell. Time is so short, and I'm sure, there must be something more. You thought you might be a ghost, You thought you might be a ghost, You didn't get to heaven but you made it close, You didn't get to heaven but you made it close, You thought you might be a ghost, You thought you might be a ghost, You didn't get to heaven but you made it close, You didn't get to heaven but you. Those who are dead, are not dead, they're just living in my head. Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love Yes Viva la Vida I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing: "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you go there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world (Ohhh) It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in. Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king? I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Violet Hill a long and dark December From the rooftops i remember There was snow White snow Clearly I remember From the windows they were watching While we froze down below When the future's architectured By a carnival of idiots on show You'd better lie low If you love me Won't you let me know? Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And the fog Became God Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles And the cross was held aloft Bury me in armor When I'm dead and hit the ground A love back home unfolds If you love me Won't you let me know? I don't want to be a soldier That a captain of some sinking ship Would stow, far below So if you love me Why'd you let me go? I took my love down to violet hill There we sat in snow All that time she was silent still So if you love me Won't you let me know? If you love me, Won't you let me know? Strawberry Swing Death and All His Friends
June 4, 200818 yr cemeteries so far: AT NIGHT THEY WOULD GO WALKING Till ThE BREAKING OF THE DAY AND MORNING IS FOR SLEEPIN' THROUGH THE DARK STREETS THEY GO SEARCHING TO SEE GOD IN THEIR OWN WAY SAVE THE NIGHTIME FOR YOUR WEEPIN', YOUR WEEPIN' Signin' LA la la la la And The Night Over London [bay] So we Run down to the river where the {trees sing} For there curses to be broken We go wanderin' 'neath the arches Where the witches [sing]
June 4, 200818 yr Lost!: Just because I'm losing Doesn't mean I'm lost Doesn't mean I'll stop Doesn't mean I would cross Just because I'm hurting Doesn't mean I'm hurt Doesn't mean I didn't get What I deserved No better and no worse I just got lost Every river that I tried to cross Every door I ever tried was locked Ohhh and I'm... Just waiting 'til the shine wears off You might be a big fish In a little pond Doesn't mean you've won 'Cause a lonely con A bigger one And you'll be lost Every river that you tried to cross Every gun you ever held went off Ohhh and I'm... Just waiting until the firing stopped Ohhh and I'm... Just waiting 'til the shine wears off Ohhh and I'm... Just waiting 'til the shine wears off Ohhh and I'm... Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
June 4, 200818 yr Yes: When it started we had hopes Now my back's on the line my back's on the ropes When it started we were alright But night makes a fool of us in daylight Yeah we were dying of frustration saying "Lord lead me not into temptation" But it's not easy when she turns you on Since they gone (???) If you'll only, if you'll only say yes Whether you will's anybody's guess God, only God knows I'm trying my best But I'm so tired of this lonelinenes (Hey!) So, up they picked me by the big toe (???) I was held from the rooftop then they let go There's only screaming let the windows down as I come to the ground If you'll only, if you'll only say yes Whether you will's anybody's guess God, only God knows she won't let me rest but I'm just so tired of this loneliness I've become so tired of this loneliness
June 4, 200818 yr is somebody actually working on the lyrics??? the sooner we get them, the better! I think the only track that will be impossible to decipher is Chinese Sleep Chant / I think the guys want to us make our own lyrics!!!

June 4, 200818 yr Strawberry Swing: They were sitting They were sitting in the strawberry swing Every moment was so precious They were sitting They were talking in the strawberry swing Everybody was for fighting Wouldn't wanna waste a thing Cold, cold water Bring me round Now my feet won't touch the ground Cold, cold water What ya say? It's such It's such a perfect day It's such a perfect day I remember We were walking up to strawberry swing I can't wait 'til the morning Wouldn't wanna change a thing People leaving all the time Inside a perfectly straight line Don't you wanna curve away It's such It's such a perfect day It's such a perfect day Now the sky could be blue I don't mind Without you it's a waste of time [repeat x4]

June 5, 200818 yr Wow, jc90 and to all others who posted here, this is great, its on Page 2 curently so I'm gonna bump it onto page 1 cos a lot of people are asking in other threads about lyrics. Thanks guys! EDIT: Anyone notice a lyric in Strawberry Swing: "Now my feet won't touch the ground" There was a song rumored to be in contention for the album called "Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground" - it must've been renamed Strawberry Swing. Probably felt the title was too close to the song off of the Safety EP
June 5, 200818 yr Sounds like guy says "Sounds a bit fucked" at the beginning of Strawberry Swing, could be wrong but I think its the first time Coldplay have cursed on an album. I noticed that as well hehe. I bet it'll still get a clean rating on iTunes.
June 5, 200818 yr Cemeteries of London Gunners in the houses and gunners in my head And all the cemeteries in London I see god come in my garden but I don’t know what he said For my heart it wasn’t open Not open I thought it was "God is in the houses and God is in my head/ And all the cemeteries of London" What do you think?
June 5, 200818 yr I thought it was "God is in the houses and God is in my head/ And all the cemeteries of London" What do you think? And I'll agree with you on that one. Most definitely "God."
