Ooooooohh...

 

Once upon a time somebody ran

Somebody ran away singing as fast as they can:

"I've got to go...I've got to go"

 

Once upon a time we fell apart

You're holding in your hands the two halves of my Heart

Oh whoa-oh, oh whoa-oh.

 

Once upon a time, we're burning bright.

Then all we ever seem to do is fight.

On and on...

And on and on and on...

 

Once upon a time on the same side.

Once upon a time on the same side, in the same game.

And why’d you have to go have to go and throw out all of my flame

 

I could’ve been a Princess, You'd be a King

Could’ve had a castle, and worn a ring

But noooooo, you let me gooooooo

 

I could’ve been a Princess, You'd be a king

Could’ve had a castle, and worn a ring

But noooooo, you let me gooooooo

 

And stole my Star.

 

la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

You stole my star la, lalala la laaaaaaaaaaa.

 

[instrumental]

 

Oooooooh-oh oh oooooooh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhh

Oooooooh-oh oh oooooooh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhh

 

Cause you really hurt me

you really hurt me

Cause you really hurt me

you really hurt me

Cause you really hurt me

Ooooooooh you really hurt me

Cause you really hurt me

Ooooooooh you really hurt me

Oh thank you both for the lyrics *_* i read somewhere it was "on a reign" instead of "worn a ring",i'm not sure which one it is :(

thanks for both of the lyrics. The only line i'm not sure about is "And why’d you have to go have to go and throw out all of my flame/throw it all in my face"

 

I don't think it's "face" because rihanna doesn't sing the "ce" part. I think it's either:

 

"And why'd you have to go, have to go and throw it all on my fame"

"And why'd you have to go, have to go and throw water on my flame"

"And why'd you have to go, have to go and throw it all on my flame"

The lyrics indicate a falling out between two people.As in the running order Up In Flames would be next.For those of us who have heard Up In Flames I think the two songs fit perfectly as Up In Flames starts off with the "So its over" line. You can see part of the concept in these two songs.

It's definitely "water on my flame". I clearly hear "water".

 

I absolutely love the lyrics to this song. As always, Coldplay knows just how to get to me lyrically.

Those lyrics are wrong in a few places. I have a good ear for Rihanna, these are the lyrics, I'm 99% sure:

 

Once upon a time somebody ran,

Somebody ran away saying "fast as I can"

 

I got to go.

 

I got to go.

 

Once upon a time we fell apart,

you hold it your hands,

the two halves of my heart.

 

Oh-ho.

 

Once upon a time we weren't right,

and all we ever seemed to do is fight.

 

On and on.

And on and on and on.

 

Once upon a time on the same side,

once upon a time on the same side and the same game.

 

Now why'd you have to go?

Have to go and throw water on my flame.

 

I could have been a princess,

you'd be a king.

I could have had a castle and worn a ring

but no, you let me go.

 

I could have been a princess,

you'd be a king.

I could have had a castle and worn a ring

but no, you let me go.

 

You stole my star,

la, la, la la...

You stole my star,

la,la,la,la....

 

'Cause you really hurt me

 

Oh you really hurt me

'Cause you really hurt me

Oh you really hurt me

'Cause

you really hurt me

Oh you really hurt me

'Cause you really hurt me

You really hurt me.

Like I said, I listen to quite a lot of Rihanna and a lot of people are misinterpreting the lyrics based on her accent. "Water on my flame" is correct, I'm sure. It also matches the rhetoric expressed in Up in Flames. And Chris normally keeps themes consistent throughout CP albums.

Thank you guys! I really love the lyrics. The music not so much, for now..

Once upon a time we weren't right,

 

I believe you have most of the lyrics down to the letter! Great job! It's just this line I'm not too sure about. When I listen to it, I continue to hear "One upon a time we're burning bright". And it fits with the later line of "throw water on my flame".

From the Japanese release lyric booklet:

 

Oh ohohohoh, ohohohohoh, ohohohoh, oh

Once upon a time somebody ran

Somebody ran away saying 'fast as I can

I got to go, I got to go'

Once upon a time we fell apart

You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart

Oh oh oh, ohohohoh

 

Oh ohohohoh, ohohohohoh, ohohohoh, oh

 

Once upon a time we're burning bright

Now all we ever seem to do is fight

On and on, and on and on and on

Once upon a time on the same side

Once upon a time on the same side, in the same game

Now why d'you have to throw

Have to go and throw water on my flame?

I could have been a Princess, you'd be a King

Could have had a castle and worn a ring

But no o o o oh, you let me go o o o oh

 

I could have been a Princess, you'd be a King

Could have had a castle and worn a ring

But no o o o oh, you let me go o o o oh

You stole my star

La, lalala lalalala, lalalalalalala, lalalalalalala

You stole my star

La, lalala lalalala, lalalalalalala

 

Oh ohohoh, ohohohohoh, oh ohohoh, ohohohohoh

 

Cause you really hurt me

no you really hurt me

Cause you really hurt me

no you really hurt me

Cause you really hurt me

no you really hurt me

Cause you really hurt me

no you really hurt me

And of course, I've just finished studying Blake at school, and what do we find here? A reference to Blake!

 

"... Tyger tyger burning bright

in the forests of the night..."

 

:blank: Coldplay really are everywhere I go! :heart:
