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, trying to tear us apart

Took the fire from my belly and the beat from my heart

Still I won't let go

Still I won't let go

 

Of Youuuuu

Ooooooo

 

Cause you do,

 

Oh you, use your heart as a weapon,

and it hurts like heaven

 

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

And now the streets are ours and we're writing the same

Don't let em take control,

No we wont 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,

On a concrete canvas, I go making my mark,

Armed with a spraycan soul,

I'll be armed with a spraycan soul.

 

Youuu

Youuu

Youuu

Oooooo

 

'Cause you, use your Heart as a weapon,

And it hurts like Heaven

 

Woooh

Woooh

 

Yeah it's true,

When you,

Use your Heart as a weapon,

It hurts like Heaven.

thx for the lyrics

WHOA. these lyrics are fantastic!! so much better than I thought when listening to the garbled live version. some of the best on the album, I think!

Perfecttt! Thanks!!!!!!!

Am I hearing a "of" before the youuuu part.

 

So it's like

 

Still I won't let go,

Still I won't let go,

 

of youuuu

 

That's what it sounds like to me.

Am I hearing a "of" before the youuuu part.

 

So it's like

 

Still I won't let go,

Still I won't let go,

 

of youuuu

 

That's what it sounds like to me.

 

yeah, i think you're right. I think i hear the first part of "of" and it does make sense. thanks :)

Almost perfect. I'm pretty sure it's actually "at the streets' arising we're writing the same."

 

Some of Coldplay's best lyrics though.

^^hmm, yeah, it's really hard to make out. I now think it's:

 

"And now the streets arise and we're writing the same" but you could be right too

"Still I won't let go of youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

 

I fucking love it.

I think it's 'and now the streets are ours and we're writing the same'

After many listenings, I figured out that it's "so cold, so cruel", not "so cold, so cold". Listen carefully and check it out :P

And at/now the streets arise and we're writing the same OR And at the streets arising we're writing the same

.

 

For this line, I hear: "And now the streets arise and we write in the sand"

 

It doesn't rhyme with 'name' though so I'm probably wrong. :P

Nope. It's so cold, so cold.

I think it's 'and now the streets are ours and we're writing the same'

 

oooh, I agree with that :thumbsup:

lol, yeah it probably is wrong....it doesn't really fit in.

 

oooh, I agree with that :thumbsup:

 

aha, well that's the only line we don't know, i'll add the line anyway :)

Thanx for posting this, Connor! I LOVE the lyrics!!!:D

Maybe it's just me, but after multiple listenings, I'm hearing "spray can sword" rather than "spray can soul."

"streets are ours" makes so much more sense to me than Streets arise. I used to think it was streets arise but now I'm gonna go with streets are ours.

"streets are ours" makes so much more sense to me than Streets arise. I used to think it was streets arise but now I'm gonna go with streets are ours.

 

Yeah it definitely does make a bit more sense but i guess both "arise" and "ours" make sense.....i guess we'll just have to wait until the're posted on the CP site

streets are ours

 

Pretty sure it's this line

Tonight the streets are ours! :awesome:

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 that they shot, trying to tear us apart

Took the fire from my belly and the beat from my heart

Still I won't let go

Still I won't let go

 

You

Ooohooh

 

'Cause you do

 

Oh you, use your heart as a weapon

And it hurts like heaven

 

On every street, every car, every surface are names

Tonight the streets are ours and we're writing the same

Don't let 'em 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 concrete canvas under cover of dark

C'mon, concrete canvas; I'll go making my mark

Armed with a spray can soul

I'll be armed with a spray can soul

 

You

Ooohooh

 

Oh, you

Ooohooh

 

'Cause you

Use your heart as a weapon

And it hurts like heaven

 

Woho-ooh

Woho-oooh

 

Yeah it's true

When you

Use your heart as a weapon

That it hurts like heaven

 

Oh, it hurts like heaven

 

:)

Incredible good lyrics!

I think it's definitely:

I'll be armed with a spray can sword

 

It makes more sense than soul, right?

You did so well transcribing! I hope you don't mind -I added/adjusted a couple lyrics from the lyric sheet in my Japanese copy: (I tried to bold them)

 

 

After hearing the studio version, i think these are the actual lyrics :)

Tonight the streets are ours and we're writing and saying

Don't let em take control,

No we won't let em take control,
