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

42 has leaked already????

where have you been the last hour?

Thanks for the lyrics.. do you have the ones for cementeries?

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]

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

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

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!!!

i want to see if we can get ANYWHERE with CSC. i doubt it, but it'll be fun to try. it'll take a hell of a long time, though.

 

i'm going off in a little while, so i was going to try to hammer out more lyrics, though by the time i come back tomorrow, it'll be all worked out :P

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]

i'll try to write them all tonight (including CSC) / we'll see tomorrow!!!

 

It will be fun for sure!

^Fuck off.

^ I second that - and please a Mod erase these posts / they're polluting our thread!

The last part sounds like this to me:

 

Now the sky could be blue

I don't mind

Without you it's a waste of time

[repeat x2]

 

Could be blue..could be grey

without you I'm just miles away

 

Now the sky could be blue

I don't mind

Without you it's a waste of time

Busybee can suck a cock

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.

Death and all his friends:

away over on the rootops

all summer we jsut hurried

so come over just be patient

and dont worry

so come over, just be patient

and dont worry

 

so come over, just be patient

and dont worry

 

and dont worry....

i dont wanna cycle up and cycle revenge

i dont wanna follow death and all his friends

i dont wanna cycle up and cycle revenge

i dont wanna follow death and all his friends

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

I noticed that as well hehe.

 

I bet it'll still get a clean rating on iTunes.

 

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?

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."
