I noticed that as well hehe.

 

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

 

It sounds a bit flat. Sorry guys not Fuck.

 

Any musician knows what that mean.

It sounds a bit flat. Sorry guys not Fuck.

 

Any musician knows what that mean.

 

It sounds like "flat" to me, too.

Okay, this is what I got for lyrics. There are still some question marks lying around, and some lines that I'm not too sure about. Feel free to correct.

 

"Life In Technicolor"

 

Ohh ohh ohh...

 

"Cemeteries Of London"

 

At night they would go walking

'Til 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 nighttime 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 the (?)

For their curses to be broken

We go wander 'neath the arches

Where the witches are (?)

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 ehh

There’s no light over London today.

 

"Lost!"

 

Just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'm lost

Doesn't mean I'll stop

Doesn't mean I'm a 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

Ohh, 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

Ohh, and I just waited 'til the firing stopped

Ohh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

 

Ohh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Ohh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off.

 

"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 as well

Ohh...

 

Time is so short

And I'm sure

There must be something more

 

Those who are dead

Are not dead

They're just living in my head

Ohh...

 

And since I fell

For that spell

I am living there as well

Ohh...

 

Time is so short

And I'm sure

There must be something more

Ohh...

 

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, ohh ohh...

 

Those who are dead

Are not dead

They're just living in my head

Ooh...

 

"Lovers In Japan"

 

Lovers, keep on the road you're on

Runners until the race is run

Soldiers, you’ve got to soldier on

Sometimes even the 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

But I have no doubt

One day, were gonna get out

 

Tonight, maybe we’re gonna run

Dreaming of the Osaka sun

Ohh...

Dreaming 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

But 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

 

Locusts will

Lift me up

I’m just a prisoner

In a reign of love

 

Locusts will

Never stop

I wish I'd spoken

To the reign of love

 

Reign of love

By the church, we're waiting

Reign of love

My knees go praying

 

How I wish

I'd spoken up

Away we're carried

In the 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 the daylight

 

There we were dying of frustration

Singin, "Lord lead me not into temptation"

But it's not easy when she turns you on

(?)

 

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 loneliness

 

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.

 

"Chinese Sleep Chant"

 

Fall asleep

Driving me

Sleep satisfy

Sleep satisfy

 

Fall asleep

Driving me

Sleep satisfy

Sleep satisfy

 

Sleep

Sleep

Sleep

 

Sleep

Sleep

Sleep satisfy

Sleep satisfy

 

Fall asleep

Fall asleep

Sleep crucify

Sleep crucify

 

Fall asleep

Fall asleep

Sleep satisfy

Sleep satisfy

 

Sleep

Sleep

Sleep

Sleep satisfy

Sleep satisfy.

 

"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

 

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 St. Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

 

Ohh...

 

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 St. Peter won't call my name

Never an honest work

But that was when I ruled the world

 

Ooh...

 

"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 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 frauds

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 love's opposed

By armed foes

 

And if you love me, won't you let me know?

 

I don't wanna be a soldier

Who 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?

 

"Stawberry 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 (?)

Wouldn't wanna waste a thing

 

Cold, cold water, bring me 'round

Now my feet won't touch the ground

Cold, cold water, whatcha 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?

And 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

 

Could be blue

I don't mind

Without you, it's a waste of time

 

The sky could be blue

Could be grey

Without you I'm just miles away

 

The sky 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, let's 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 to battle from beginning to end

I don’t want a cycle of recycled revenge

I don’t want to follow death and all of his friends

 

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

I don’t want a cycle of recycled revenge

I don’t want to follow death and all of his friends.

 

"The Escapist"

 

And in the end

We lie awake

And we dream of making our escape

 

And in the end

We lie awake

And we dream of making our escape.

The VLVODAAHF Lyrics Thread

 

So that we dont have 10 different lyrics threads

 

so far I have only worked out Cemeteries of London.

 

 

Life in Technicolor

 

Ohhhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh

 

 

Cemeteries of London

 

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 laaeey

and the night over london ????

so we rolled down to the river

with a ???????

further curses to be broken

we go wonder neath the arches

where the witches are (missing??)

there are ghost towns in the ocean

the ocean

singing la la la la la la laaeey

and the night over london ????

 

god is in the houses

and god is in my head

and all the cemeteries in london

i say god come in my garden

but i dont know what he said

for my ???? wasn't open

not open

 

singing la la la la la la laaeey

and the night over london (lays???)

singing la la la la la la laaeey

there's no light over london today

 

 

Lost!

 

Just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'm lost

Doesn't mean I'll stop

Doesn't mean I will cross

 

Just because I'm hurting

Doesn't mean I'm hurt

Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve

No better and no worse

 

I just got lost

Every river that I've tried to cross

And every door I ever tried was locked

Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till 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

Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the firing starts

Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off

Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off

Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off…

Here are the complete and corrected lyrics for Reign of Love.. enjoy

 

Reign of love

I can’t let go

To the sea of Lucero

 

No could swim

Lift me up

I’m just a peaceful

In the reign of love

 

No could swim

A little stop

I wish I'd spoken

To the reign of love

 

Reign of love

By the church for waiting

Reign of love

My knees go preying

How I wish I'd spoken up

How we get carried

On the reign of love

Here are the complete and corrected lyrics for Reign of Love.. enjoy

the sea of Lucero? what does that mean?

It's "I'm just a prisoner in a reign of love" as well.

 

Really not sure they're correct.

An update to "Reign of Love":

 

Reign of love

I can’t let go

To the sea I offer

This heavy load

 

Locusts will

Lift me up

I’m just a prisoner

In a reign of love

 

Locusts will

?

I wish I'd spoken

To the reign of love

 

Reign of love

By the church, we're waiting

Reign of love

My knees go praying

 

How I wish

I'd spoken up

?

In the reign of love.

The only reall meaning I found to the sea of Lucero is a song, call Gone to the Sea, from Lucero, who claimed that his heart had been landlocked and gone to the sea.

 

Maybe it could be other sea, but it makes sense.

 

About the prisoner part, i think you are right.. it's prisoner.

 

And by the way, I have completed the Chinese Sleep Chant lyrics.. what do you say?

 

Fall asleep

Driving me

Sleep satisfied

Sleep satisfied

Fall asleep

Driving me

Sleep satisfied

rooftoops must be very important for chris..................:P

 

Yes

 

"So, up they picked me by the big toe

I was held from the rooftop then they let go"

 

Violet hill

 

"was a long and dark December

From the rooftops i remember"

 

 

Death and all his friends

 

"All winter we got carried

Away over on the rooftops

Lets get married"

In the Kimmel version of Violet Hill, Martin clearly sings "and the fox became God", not and the fog. Shouldn't we alter that? I don't know if this remark is already posted elsewhere, there are so many threads concerning lyrics...

I think he slipped up on the wording that's all. "Fog" makes some sense (debatable) but fox is just meaningless...to me...

Would a mod update the 1st page already?

it seems that for this album we're really going to need the lyrics on the booklet!

 

more than 24 hours since the album leaked and still some parts of songs undeciphered!

Was a long and dark December

When the banks became cathedrals

And the frauds

Became God

not "God". maybe "gone"?:rolleyes:

Am I the only one who thinks that this part of Death and All His Friends is wrong:

 

"No I don’t want a battle from the intuit

I don’t wanna cycle, recycle revenge

I don’t wanna follow death and all his friends"

 

 

No mattter how many times (and how loud) I listen to it I hear that it goes rather like this: No, I don't wanna battle from beginning to end..."

 

Correct me if I got it all wrong... :thinking:

No your right, I said it before.

Agh! Cemeteries of London and Reign of Love are the only two (cept CSChant) that I can't figure all the words out. Really bugging me.

 

"Night over London hey?"

 

"Night over London bay?"

 

"Night over London say?"

 

"Night over London they?"

 

CEMETERIES OF LONDON

At night they would go walking 'til 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 nighttime for your weeping

Your weeping

 

Singing la la la la la la ehh

And the night over London they say

 

So we rode down to the river where the trees sing

For the curses to be broken

We go underneath the arches where the witches are singing:

“There are ghost towns in the ocean

The ocean”

 

Singing la la la la la la ehh

And the night over London they say

 

God's in the houses and God's 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 they say

Singing la la la la la la ehh

There’s no light over London today

 

I think they're many probs with that still...

Busybee can suck a cock

"Night over London, hey" ;)
