The Oracle 'promised' again today they would be coming...it will make my singing of the song a lot more confident although its hilarious to guess and find out just how wrong I've been belting it out in the car and mumbling verses at work. I'm terrible with this kind of thing. ;)

 

I made a thread about this, check it out :)

I'd laugh my ass off if we were way off and it was something like.

 

"We're sooo boooorrrreeed/ Luscious and wild / Trees are growing in the park"

And that would tie in perfectly with ETIAW's "Maybe the trees are gone" lyric. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW. :p

OFFICIAL LYRICS AS POSTED IN COLDPLAY.COM ON NOVEMBER 3, 2011:

 

CHARLIE BROWN

 

Wooh, ooh ooh ooh

 

Stole a key

Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet

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

Saw the lights go down and standing in front of me

 

Poh ooh ooh

 

In my scarecrow dreams

When they smash my heart into smithereens

Be a bright red rose come bursting through concrete

And a cartoon heart

Light a fire a fire a spark

Light a fire a flame in my heart

We’ll run wild

We’ll be glowing in the dark

Oooh ooh ooh

We’ll be glowing in the dark

A-woo-a-wooooo

 

All the boys, all the girls, all that matters in the world

All the boys, all the girls, all the madness that occurs

All the highs all the lows, as the room a-spinning goes

We’ll run riot, we’ll be glowing in the dark

 

Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh

So we’ll soar

Luminous and wired

We’ll be glowing in the dark

Be a bright red rose come bursting through concrete :D

I still hear "be a cartoon heart." "We'll run riot" is horrid grammar. Also, "poh"? o_O

Run riot is actually a proper phrase. No grammar mistakes there :P

Really? o_O How can that work?

 

Is riot supposed to be an adverb or what?? Or is supposed to be a shortening of "we'll run a riot."

I still hear "be a cartoon heart."

Yup, for sure. Now, I am curious if he will sing it differently in live versions to come, but my guess is that this is a mistake that slipped in the 'original' lyrics.

It's just a phrase in itself. An idiom I guess. It's pretty much synonymous with "run wild".
