Here we go again guys... (thanks for the parcial lyrics, felicote :))

I made some edits in felicote's lyrics.

 

As usual, underscores means I don't know, (???) means I'm not sure of it, square brackets means another possiblity.

 

At _____ you'd 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 night time for your weeping

Your weeping

 

Singing La la la la la la laaeey

And the night over London ____

 

So we rolled down to the river

With a towel to go swimming (???)

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 ____

 

(Guitar Solo)

 

God is in the houses

And God is in my head

And all the cemeteries in London

 

I say "God come in my garden" [i see God come in my garder] (???)

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 ____

Singing la la la la la la laaeey

There's no light over London today

Bold text are the lyric changes that I heard:

 

 

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 night time for your weeping

Your weeping

 

Singing La la la la la la laaeey

And the night over London hey

 

So we rode down to the river

With a towel to go swimming (???)- I want to know what he says after "With a..." it's bugging me!

Further curses to be broken

 

We go wander 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 hey

 

(Guitar Solo)

 

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 heart(???) wasn't open

Not open

 

Singing la la la la la la laaeey

And the night over London hey

Singing la la la la la la laaeey

There's no light over London today

This is what I hear:

 

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 night time for your weeping

Your weeping

 

Singing La la la la la la laaeey

And the night over London lay

 

So we rode down to the river

With a towel to go swimming (???) Definitely not, but I can't hear what it is. Really frustrating :\

For their curses to be broken

 

We go wander '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 lay

 

(Guitar Solo)

 

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 heart wasn't open

Not open

 

Singing la la la la la la laaeey

And the night over London lay

Singing la la la la la la laaeey

There's no light over London today

I confirm what BethWhalley has listened. I have listened exactly the same :D:lol::D

I saw God come in my garden

but I dont know what He said

For my heart it wasn't open

Not open

 

just nitpicking :)

Thanking you all

I think that "With a towel to go swimming" is wrong too. The "towel" part i'm sure it's right, but IDK if it's "swimming", AAARGH, IT'S KILLING ME :veryangry2:

Aah now it's killing me too! I am pretty sure the last word is spring (or someting?)

this is what i got

 

So we rode down to the river

Where the toiling ghosts spring (not sure about "toiling")

For their curses to be broken

travelling?

this is what i got

 

So we rode down to the river

Where the toiling ghosts spring (not sure about "toiling")

For their curses to be broken

 

This is closest to what I'm hearing, too! I thought it was "swing" instead of "spring" at first, but spring makes more sense in context :)

I think the final version is this

 

At night they'd 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 night time for your weeping

Your weeping

 

Singing La la la la la la laaeey

And the night over London, hey

 

So we rode down to the river

Where the toiling ghosts spring

For their 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 lay

 

(Guitar Solo)

 

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 dont know what He said

For my heart wasn't open

Not open

 

Singing la la la la la la laaeey

And the night over London lay

Singing la la la la la la laaeey

There's no light over London today

 

Consense? Tell it now, or object forever!

here are the lyrics from WikiColdplay:

 

http://wiki.coldplaying.com/index.php/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 lalalalala la lé...

And the night over London lay

 

So we rode down to the river where the toiling ghosts spring,

For their curses to be broken

We’d go underneath the arches where the witches are in the saying,

There are ghost towns in the ocean

The ocean

 

Singing la lalalalala la lé...

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 lalalalala la lé...

And the night over London lay

 

Singing la lalalalala la lé...

There’s no light over London today…

Where Victorian ghosts pray

For their curses to be broken
