Miha Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Anyone?:) I've got a little bit but I couldn't understand most of the song: He heard you could see a future in a glass of water ... ... Oh that's just the way it was, and nothing could be better, and nothing ever was. Oh he said you could see a future, inside a glass of water, .... Son, don't ask, neither how full or empty is your glass, cling to the mast, spend your whole life living in your past and nowhere fast. That is just the way it was, ... the last line: just glasses of water Is it just me or does it seem that the lyrics from the Glass Of Water picture have not all been included in the song?

SwallowedInSea Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Wow- I am impressed. I could not decipher very many lyrics at all from the video I watched! Maybe there is a clearer version out there by now...? Hmmm. Anyway, good job at figuring out that much already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainloafers Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 You picked up more that I was able to from it... It seems that its starts off--- There's a (somthing) a clown and he's a friend of mine. after "inside a glass of water" the first time I think he says "In riddles or (ripples) and the ryhmes" Anyhow not sure about these... Love the vibe of the song! Another great b-side from Coldplay... Easily could have made a single on the album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magodeoz Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 He said 'I'm losing all the time' ... ... He heard you could see a future inside a glass of water ... ... Oh that's just the way it was, and nothing could be better, and nothing ever was. Oh he said you could see a future, inside a glass of water, ... ... Son, don't ask, neither how full nor empty is your glass, ... spend your whole life living in your past and nowhere fast. That is just the way it was, [And I think the end is:] And what I'll be drinking when we're done? Just glasses of water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kspillers2 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Missing very first line but here's a stab at 2nd,3rd & 4th lines... ...He wrote me in a letter, ....he was a friend of mine. He heard you could see your future, inside a glass of water, the ripples and the rhymes. He asked 'will I see heaven in mine?' Oh that's just the way it was, and nothing could be better, and nothing ever was...." ...oh you said you could see the future, inside a glass of water, the riddles and the rhymes... ...he asked 'will I see heaven in mine'...ooooh,oooh,ooooh, he asked, neither half full nor empty..... I'll post more as I have a listen but this vid above is missing the very first line I think and kids need pc for homework...darn rugrats getting in the way of really important stuff!

BostonSportsTD Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 i think the very first line is 'Scared of losin' all the time' (1,000th post!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApproximatelyInfinite Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 ooooh, nice job guys! i've been trying to work it out a bit myself (i also can't stop watching that video...so far i LOVE the song!). that's farther than i got! i cannot WAIT to have the studio version of this.

BostonSportsTD Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 i was unsure about the line in the refrain 'cling to the mast' but if you look on the artwork that came in the 'viva la vida' booklet those lyrics are clearly written there. so what we have for the refrain is definately 100% right. its just that 3rd verse we need to figure out...

kspillers2 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 See below for possible tiny lyrical additions/changes ...Updated Scared of losin' all the time He wrote it in a letter He was a friend of mine He heard you could see your future Inside a glass of water The ripples and the rhymes He asked, 'Will I see heaven in mine?' Oh that is just the way it was, and nothing could be better, and nothing ever was. Oh he said you could see a future, inside a glass of water, The riddles and the rhymes He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine' Ooooh, oooh, ooooh ... (I searched, twice,?) Neither how (half)? full nor empty is your glass, Cling to the mast Spent your whole life living in your past Went nowhere fast And that is just the way it was, (the hollowest of halos, is no halo because....?) ....The television said it best, the (something)....and the leaders.......... The stars in heaven tonight. Ooooh, oooh, ooooh (I searched, twice.....?) Neither how full nor empty is your glass, Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in your past Going nowhere fast And what I'll be drinking when we're done Just glasses of water Anyone hearing something similar? or something different that makes better sense..I'd love it if we can fill in the missing pieces.....

Fixed Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The lyrics seem a bit airy fairy, wishy washy, a bit meh to me. But I like the music that goes with it. Will has some stomping bass drum action in this, which I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
