heyyy... Chris quite clearly sang "saints" at the end of the first line of the second verse :shifty:

 

You probably think that because when he sings "surface" you still hear the "s" sound from the word "surface" which leads to "names" and so its sounds like saints.

I think xD

Yes I feel a little bit nervous

Yes I feel nervous and I cannot relax

How come they're out to get us?

How come they're out when they don't know the facts

"Rather INSANE"

"Let THEM take control"

"COLOR of dark"

 

I know everybody is predisposed to listen "COVER OF DARK" but this video is very clear

Actually, in the above video it's even more clear that what you think is "rather insane" says "writing this saying". The "g" in writing is very clear and so is the "TH" in "this". Oh, and so is the "v" in cover.

Actually nobody says "RITENG", and if you listen carefully you can hear NO "W", and one "E". So it's not writing. If you doubt watch Glastonbury in HD. They show Chris exactly this moment and you can see the "N" of "Insane" in his mouth

Not a "V"... "L" with accent :nod:

They're British

i'm sorry but he definitely says "and now the streets arise and we're writing the same (or sayin)

 

it makes so much sense.

 

"On every street and every car and every surface are names,

and now the streets arise and we're writing the same"

 

it fits in perfectly with the other lyrics

Q. Hey Oracle :)

 

I was just wondering whether there are any plans to release the lyrics for the new songs that Coldplay have already played live?

 

Sorry one last question :P is there any chance you could tell me the first line of Hurts Like Heaven? There's so much confusion on coldplaying.com about the lyrics.

 

Thank you do much! :) Can't wait for the album.

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

There are no plans to publish lyrics on the website of the new songs that are being played live. We've added ETIAW, MM & M2M to the Recordings section of course, complete with lyrics. Unless any of the others are released (as either single or on the album), we won't be putting them up. We haven't done that before so it's not a new thing by the way.

I actually hadn't really noticed the opening line to Hurts Like Heaven as that's the point I am usually still cheering their entrance!

The first one is tricky to work out but something like "Do you ever get the feeling you're a bridge to the park / bridging the part? Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?" I could be wrong though and probably am.

 

God bless Oracle, it is wrong :laugh3:

well this is what i think the lyrics are :) NOTE: This is only for the "Rock Werchter" festival because i'm 99% sure that they tweaked the lyrics since they first played it at Rock Am Ring.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park

'Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?'

It's so cold, it's so cold

It's so cold, it's so cold

 

Written up in marker on a factory sign

'I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine'

It's so cold, it's so cold

It's so cold, it's so cold

 

See the arrow they shot, tryin' to tear us apart

Fire from my belly and the beat from my heart

Still I won't let go

Still I won't let go

 

You, Ooohooh

 

Yes you do

 

Oh you, use your heart as a weapon

And it hurts like heaven

 

On every street and every car and every surface are names,

And now the streets arise, and we're writin' the same,

Don't let them take control

No we won't let'em take control

 

Yes I feel a little bit nervous

Yes I feel nervous and I cannot relax

How come they're out to get us?

How come they're out when they don't know the facts

 

So on a concrete canvas under cover of dark

Concrete canvas I go making my mark

Armed with a spray can soul

I'll be armed with a spray can soul

 

You

Ooohooh

 

Oh, you

Ooohooh

 

Yes, you use your heart as a weapon

And it hurts like heaven

 

Woohaoh

Woohoaho

 

It's true

 

When you

Use your heart as a weapon

It hurts like heaven

I would agree with these as official lyrics for now except I'd remove the 'it' parts from

Agreed. Remove the 'it' and I think you've got it 100% (unless it's "spray can and soul," but I think that's a long shot at this point).

Oops, sorry just a typo there. I'll change it :)

It's hard to hear what he's singing, but wouldn't it make more sense if it was a "bench in a park" rather than a "bridge in a park"?

 

I don't think so... Graffiti is commonly found on bridges, and those are the lyrics I hear in the song.

What you get on park benches is those little engravings made by keys... To me those are more about vandalism than graffiti.

It's written in that 'little stage' in which Will 'stands'. It's written from "written in grafitti..' 'till "still I won't let go"
