Fall asleep

Fall asleep

Sleep crucify

Sleep crucify

 

 

it's "mystified" and not "crucify" IMO... it has more sense too

Bump, with new lyrics from the album

 

Life in Technicolor

None

 

Cemeteries of London

At night they would go walking

'till the breaking of the day

The morning is for sleeping

Through the dark streets they go searching

To see god in their own way

Save the night time for your weeping

Your weeping

 

Singing la la la la la la ehh

And the night over London lay

 

So we rode down to the river

where Victorian ghosts pray

For the curses to be broken

We go underneath the arches

where the witches are and they say

There are ghost towns in the ocean

The ocean

 

Singing la la la la la la ehh

And the night over London lay

 

God is in the houses

And God is 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

 

Singing la la la la la la ehh

And the night over London Lay

 

Singing la la la la la la eh

There’s no light over London today

 

Lost!

Just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'm lost

Doesn't mean I’ve stopped

Doesn't mean I’m across

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 along may come

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

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 as well.

 

Time is so 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 as well.

 

Time is so short,

and I'm sure,

there must be something more.

 

ooh

 

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 oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

 

Those who are dead,

are not dead,

they're just living in my head.

 

Lovers in Japan

 

Lovers keep on the road your on

Runners until the race is run

Soldiers you’ve got to soldier on

Sometimes even right is wrong

 

They are turning my head out

To see what I’m all about

Keeping my head down

To see what it feels like now

And I have no doubt

One day, were gonna get out

 

Tonight, maybe we’re gonna run

Dreamin’ of the Osaka sun

Ohh, ohh, ohhh

Dreamin’ of when the morning comes

 

They are turning my head out

To see what I’m all about

Keeping my head down

To see what it feels like now

And I have no doubt

One day, the sun will come out

 

Reign of Love

Reign of love

I can’t let go

To the sea I offer this heavy load

Locust wing

Lift me up

I’m just a prisoner in a reign of love

 

Locust wind

How I wish I’d spoken

To a reign of love

 

Reign of love by the church were waiting

Reign of love on my knees go praying

How I wish I’d spoken up

Away get carried on a reign of love

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

 

There we were dying of frustration

Saying "Lord lead me not into temptation"

 

But it's not easy when she turns you on

Sin, stay 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 just so tired of this loneliness

 

So, up they picked me by the big toe

I was held from the rooftop then they let go

 

Dizzily screaming ‘let the windows down’

As I crawl 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

 

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

Was 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 fox

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

My nerves are poles that unfroze

 

If you love me

Won't you let me know?

 

I don't want to be a soldier

Who the 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

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 moving 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

 

Ahh

Now the sky could be blue

I don't mind

Without you it's a waste of time

 

Could be blue

I don’t mind

Without you it’s a waste of time

 

Could be blue,

Could be grey

Without you I’m just miles away

 

Could be blue

I don’t mind

Without you it’s a waste of time

 

Death and All His Friends

All winter we got carried

Away over on the rooftops

Lets get married

 

All summer we just hurried

So come over just be patient

And don’t worry

So come over, just be patient

And don’t worry

So come over, just be patient

and don’t worry

 

And don’t worry

 

No I don’t want a battle from beginning to end

I don’t want a cycle of recycle revenge

I don’t wanna follow death and all his friends

 

No I don’t want a battle from beginning to end

I don’t want a cycle of recycle revenge

I don’t wanna follow death and all his friends

 

The Escapist

And, in the end, we lie awake and dream of makin’ our escape

Haha Chinese Squee Chant

 

 

Fall squee

Driving me

squee..

 

And by the way..

In Violet hill

 

When the banks became cathedrals

and a fox became a God

 

and

 

My nerves are poles that unfroze

 

I think nobody expected that. (they are from the scans...)

squee??

mmm you know it was a (not so funny) joke... i think there's a thread aout it somewhere (about the squee)

^ ohh sorry, i did not get that, lol

Masterpiece! :laugh3::laugh3:

"where Victorian ghosts pray" now sounds so painfully obvious in Cemeteries of London!! How did we not figure that out before?

 

But seriously, "My nerves like poles unfroze" cannot be right. Chris writes some bad lyrics sometimes...but they can't be THAT bad. Can they? :laugh4:

*Edit*

 

His lyrics are....:P Too much to describe in words.

You might be a big fish

In a little pond

Doesn't mean you've won

'Cause along may come

And you'll be lost

Every river that you tried to cross

Every gun you ever held went off

Ohhh and I'm...

On Jimmy Kimmel he didn't sing that deploarable line "my nerves are poles that unfroze" but rather "my love's opposed but unfroze" - that's the dodgy Japanese translation and something clearly got lost there. :)
