Damn, I`m nearly crying!

Prospekt´s march!

I guess i´ve got a new favourite song!!!

I'm so in love with Prospekt's March. Reminds me of Parachutes, which is my favorite album ever!

The final part of Glass of Water with the piano is amazing, makes me feel so good.

 

 

Exactly how I feel :)

Exactly how I feel :)

Nice! :)

Btw, do you know what Chris says at the beginning of Prospekt's March? Before "Here i lie on my own in a seperate sky. I don't wanna die on my own here tonight"

I hope I'll be able to decipher some lyrics, but the one about 'living in a separate sky', it's Poppy Fields, it's on the big picture.

if the lyrics for LIT2 are THIS great so far, i think i might have a heart attack upon hearing the full version :dead:

 

i'm really itching for "now my feet won't touch the ground" now too.

*spoilers* Lyrics for all of the preview tracks!

 

These were all done by ear; hopefully I've got them right (although I'm pretty sure I messed up somewhere on Rainy Day). Don't scroll down until you've listened to the previews beforehand!

 

I'M DOING EDITS ON THIS POST, so feel free to make corrections! =)

Life in Technicolor II

 

Time came a-creepin'

Oh and time's a loaded gun

Every road is a ray of light

It goes oooooooonnnn

Time will leak and leech amongst it

Such a beautiful night

 

Oh love, don't let me go

Won't you take me where the street lights glow

I can hear rain coming

Like a serenade of sound

Now my feet won't touch the ground

 

 

 

Glass of Water

 

So he wrote it on a wall

The hollowest of halos

Is no halo at all

Television set and plastic figurines of leaders

Saying nothing at all

And you try

Stars in heaven align

Ohhhhhhhh I

 

Son, don't ask

Neither half full or empty is the glass

Cling to the mast

Spend your whole life living in the past

Going nowhere fast

 

 

 

Rainy Day

 

In memoir dream

The sky wore a veil of gold and green

At night it was the bright of the moon with me

Time is just floating

 

Then there was rain

The sound found patients a-crumbling

Through the ground comes a bit of a-tumbling

And time was just floating

We can watch it and stay

And we can listen

 

Oh rainy day, come 'round

Sometimes I just want it to slow down

They separated now, I'm down

But I love when you come here to the house

I love it when you come to my house

 

 

 

Prospekt's March / Poppyfields

 

We're just two little figures in a soup bowl

Trying to get the anaconda controlled

But I wasn't warm

 

But here I lie on my own in a separate sky

And here I lie on my own in a separate sky

I will never die on my own here tonight

You´re quick!

Thanks!!

 

I´d say it is "So he wrote it on a wall ..... Not going fast" in Glass of water

 

 

Glass of Water

 

So he rode in on a war

The hollowest of halos

Is no halooooooo

Television set and plastic figurines of leaders

Saying nothing at all

And you try

Stars and heaven align

Ohhhhhhhh I

 

Son, don't ask

Neither half full or empty is the glass

Cling to the last

Spend your whole life living in the past

Go in knowing first

 

 

 

 

this is what i think they are, but who really knows? :D

is it just me or does it not work for some people? I've tried it on my facebook and on coldplay.com, no luck.

works just fine for me!!!!

The sky wore a veil of gold and green, in Rainy Day

I'm actually going to move the lyrics into a new topic. That way, people will be able to see it without having to search through this topic (I'm assuming this topic still has plenty of room to grow, after all). Keep the corrections coming!

Full lyric to Glass of Water here:

http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50433

 

 

Glass of Water

 

 

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 your future,

inside a glass of water,

The riddles and the rhymes

He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine'

Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, I....

 

Son, don't ask,

Neither how full nor empty is your glass,

Cling to the mast

Spend your whole life living in the past

Going nowhere fast

 

So he wrote it on the wall,

The hollowest of halos

is no halo at all.

Televisions selling plastic

figurines of leaders, sayin' nothing at all.

And we chimed, 'stars in heaven align'

Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, I....

 

Son, don't ask,

Neither how full nor empty is your glass,

Cling to the mast

Spend your whole life living in, in the past

Going nowhere fast

 

And what I'll be drinking when we're done

Just glasses of water
