I love the whole "When the smashed my heart to smithereens, I'll be a bright red rose combusting the concrete" part. Whole song is unbelievably great.

 

 

That's my favorite part, too! :awesome: It's a cool turn of phrase

 

Am I the only one who keeps replaying the part where Chris hits the falsetto at "All the highs, all the lo-oooows" ?

 

Yeah that's awesome! I went w000t :lol:

My version ;p

 

Oooooohhhh

 

I stole the Key,

I 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 scene,

I saw the Lights go down and/as standing in front of me

 

Oooooohhhh

 

My scarecrow dreams,

When they smash my heart into smithereens,

I’ll be a bright red rose combusting the Concrete,

Be a cartoon heart,

Light a fire up on the Spot,

Light a fire, a flame in my heart,

We’ll run wild,

We’ll be glowing in the Dark,

glowing in the dark, oooohhhhh ahhhhh

 

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 is spinning Ohhhhh,

We’ll run wild,

start glowing in the Dark

 

So we saw an innocent liar,

We’ll be glowing in the Dark

I just realized that the guys used a Wizard of Oz reference in this song!

 

"My scarecrow dreams/When they smashed my heart into smithereens" ---> The scarecrow wanted a brain, right? So Chris is basically saying that his mind has no control over how his heart feels

 

Finally, a Wizard of Oz reference that isn't some stupid joke about Kansas! :dance:

I recommend that, if anyone's intrested.

Pay attention to the Songcrossfaders and Lyrics and Ambients.

Ooh nice find! :stunned:

Isn't there also a Scarecrow in the Batman series? I remember a guy with a bag on his head and he did something with hallucinations..?? Creepy character...

Yea there is.

It has a lot of touches of Arcade Fire, I feel. But then Coldplay's always done that, and doesn't matter 'cause it's a damn good song anyway :D

I would change it:

 

 

Charlie Brown

 

I stole the key

I took the car downtown where the lost boys meet

I took the 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 smash my heart into smithereens

I’ll be a bright red rose combusting the concrete

Be the cartoon heart (just listen)

Light a fire from a spark

Light a fire, a flame in my heart

We’ll run wild

We’ll be glowing in the dark

 

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 around the spinning ______ (glows/gloves/globes? whatever)

We’ll run wild

We’ll start glowing in the dark

 

So we saw an innocent liar (?)

We’ll be glowing in the dark

Mine makes more sense :P

 

Oooooohhhh

 

I stole the Key,

I took a Car downtown where the Lost boys meet,

Oooooohhhh

 

My Scarecrow dreams,

When they smash my heart into smithereens,

I’ll be a bright red rose combusting the Concrete,

Be a Cartoon Heart,

Light a fire up on the Spot,

Light a fire, a flame in my Heart,

We’ll run wild,

We’ll be glowing in the Dark,

Glowing in the dark, oooohhhhh ahhhhh

 

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 is spinning Ohhhhh,

We’ll run wild,

start glowing in the Dark

 

So we saw an innocent liar,

We’ll be glowing in the Dark

"I saw the Lights go down at the Inner scene" makes more sense and sounds like it Thanks CupitorVeritatis

This is what I hear...

 

 

Ooooh

 

I stole the 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 inner scene

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

 

Ooooh

 

My scarecrow dreams

When they smashed my heart into smithereens

I'll be a bright red rose come busting the concrete

Be a cartoon heart

Live fire, oh brown smoke

Live fire, flamin' my heart

We'll run wild

We'll be glowing in the dark

Glowing in the dark

 

Ooooh

Aaahh

 

All the boys, all the girls

All the fans(?) in the world

All the boys, all the girls

All the mess 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-ahh-aw an innocent in writing(?)

We'll be glowing in the dark

I think it may be "As the room is spinning it glows" since "We're glowing in the dark" is repeated several times

 

Still have no idea about the second-to-last line, though :confused:

Thanks Craig, you're almost there but yeah it's good that we figured out almost each and every word. :D I'm still confused on lyrics of 'Hurts like Heaven' and trying to find out the correct lyrics. Can you try to interpret on other HLH thread too? Thanks! :D

His are kinda wrong though :S

This is what I hear, minus the Ohhh's

 

 

I stole the key

I 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 standing in front of me

 

My scarecrow dreams

When they smashed my heart into smithereens

I’ll be a bright red rose combusting the concrete

Be a cartoon heart

 

Light a fire,

Light a spark

Light a fire, flame in my heart

We’ll run wild,

We’ll be glowing in the dark

 

Glowing in the dark

 

All the boys, all the girls

All the matters 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, it goes

You’ll run wild, start glowing in the dark

 

So we saw, an innocent wire

We’ll be glowing in the dark

So we saw, an innocent wire

We’ll be glowing in the dark

 

I am thinking the same thing, although it does not make much sense. Innocent wire?

 

In the second verse I hear Slytherins instead of smithereens. :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu

My scared cruel/ cold dreams,

When they smash my heart into smithereens,

I’ll be a bright red rose combustin the concrete,

Be a cartoon heart, yeah

Light a fire [B]by the [/b]smoke

Light a fire, a flame in my heart,

We run riot,

We’ll be glowing in the Dark, Ouuuuu

glowing in the dark, oooohhhhh Ouuuuuuuu ahhhhh

 

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 is spinning go ,

We run riot

start glowing in the Dark

 

So we saw an innocent riot

We’ll be glowing in the Dark

or

Start glowing in the dark

 

 

 

 

I still believe that it's stole a key

because he says i took a car not i took the car

 

and i hear like a fire by the smoke and innocent riot ??

this is just my take

His are kinda wrong though :S

 

Well that is what I heard and sounded alike when I matched with his lyrics. I think enough of it has been discussed now and we'll have to wait until it's officially out, more opinions will create more confusion. :p

Oooooohhhh

My Scarecrow dreams,

When they smash my heart into smithereens,

I’ll be a bright red rose combusting the Concrete,

Be a Cartoon Heart,

Light a fire up on the Spot,

Light a fire, a flame in my Heart,

We’ll run wild,

We’ll be glowing in the Dark,

Glowing in the dark, oooohhhhh ahhhhh

 

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 is spinning Ohhhhh,

We’ll run wild,

start glowing in the Dark

 

So we saw an innocent liar, (He obviously says "innocent" so the word after it is "liar" that just fits)

We’ll be glowing in the Dark

^ I hear a "W" though.. But an innocent wire doesn't make the most sense either.

The British band we all know and love, Coldplay keeps on releasing songs from their upcoming, still nameless album. Check out "Charlie Brown", Coldplay's latest release.

Coldplay- Charlie Brown Lyrics

 

Official 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

My scarecrow dreams

When they smashed my heart into smithereens

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

[ Lyrics from http://www.songonlyrics.com/coldplay-charlie-brown-lyrics ]

 

 

We’ll run wild oh

We’ll be glowing in the dark

Glowing in the dark

All the boys, all the girls

All the madness 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 oh

We’ll start glowing in the dark

 

So we’ll run wild oh

We’ll be glow in the dark

[Coldplay- Charlie Brown Lyrics]:dance:

^ official? those lyrics aren't all correct :thinking:
