YOU ARE, YOU ARE

LIGHTS GO OUT AND I CAN´T BE SAVED

i'm pretty sure its 'MY BRAIN'. i heard it yesterday at their gig.

 

what i can't understand is what they say when they sing 'olé olé olé olé' . i mean, ppl yesterday were saying 'olé olé olé olé coldplay coldplay!' but the band didn't seem to sing the same.

Also, never understood why they wrote a song about a spanish novel when Chris clearly said they wanted to write a song about Latinamerica and how well they feel when they're there... lol come on!!!

I thought it was "I heard you never get wet in spanish rain"

not "I bet you never get wet in spanish rain"

I could be wrong :\
