Sounds great! Jonny's guitar is awesome! :D

 

Also, what makes people thing this is going to be called Cartoon Hearts (plural) instead of Cartoon Heart like the title we've had for months? I definitely like Cartoon Heart better, for some reason.

The Back to the Future theme plays when they come on stage. But the first song they play is definitely Cartoon Heart.

 

Gee, thank you. Now that makes sense :dozey:. And this song is totally amazing :wideeyed:

In spite of this being a blatant pop effort, I actually like this song. Reminds me of the pop tracks on Prospekt's March, which I sort of enjoyed. Further proof that you still can pull off a pop song without it sucking, which in turn is proof that strong critics of ETIAW - like myself - aren't hating it "just because it's pop".

Thank you! My thoughts exactly, I'm enjoying this tune at the moment, the live version anyway. Why didnt they release this first?!?!

This is what Technicolour Liver posted on the other thread.

 

The lyrics I hear for it:

 

I stole a key,

Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet,

I took a car downtown and took what they offered me.

To set me free,

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene,

I saw the lights go down and they're standing in front of me.

 

My scarecrow dreams, (?)

When they smashed my heart into smitharines,

I be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete.

Be the cartoon heart,

Light a fire, light a spark,

Light a fire, a flame in my heart.

We'll run wild,

We'll be glow-in-the-dark.

 

All the boys, all the girls,

All the (?)

All the boys, all the girls,

All the (?)

 

All the high's, all the low's,

??

We'll run wild,

We'll start glowing-in-the-dark.

 

So we'll run wild,

We'll be glow-in-the-dark.

 

 

I love the guitar on this one, it's a happy tune. :)

All the boys, all the girls,

All the madness in the world

All the boys, all the girls,

All the madness that us hurts/that occurs? (?)

 

All the high's, all the low's,

So we'll run wild,

I added some bits :)

I just watched it again. Coldplay have produced one of their best ever live songs. I love it.

I think that line is "I'll be a bright red rose combusting the concrete" instead of "I be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete"

 

 

It just sounds better to me :awesome:

 

EDIT: Here's my interpretation of the lyrics:

 

 

I stole a key

Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet

I took a car downtown and took what they offered me

To set me free

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene

I saw the lights go down and they're standing in front of me

 

Oooh

 

My scarecrow dreams

When they smashed my heart into smithereens

I be a bright red rose combusting the concrete

Be the cartoon heart

Light a fire, oh light a spark

Light a fire, a flame in my heart

We'll run wild

We'll be glowing in the dark

Glowing in the dark

 

Oooh ooh ooh

Ah ah aahhh

 

All the boys, all the girls

All the madness/families in the world

All the boys, all the girls

All the madness that occurs

 

All the highs, all the lows

As the room is spinning, oh

We'll run wild

We'll start glowing in the dark

 

So we saw an innocent liar(?)

We'll be glowing in the dark
