Hurts Like Heaven (Studio Lyrics)

[Connor!42!]

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)

 

Thanks for that :) wow, i can't believe it said "an aims" in the lyrics.....was that a promo copy or the version released on the 19th? maybe they just forgot to change the lyrics in the booklet :thinking:

Tonight the streets are ours! :awesome:

 

aha, yeah i saw that in my book to. After listening to the song again, i think they still say "and now the streets are ours" though i love that artwork :)

OFFICIAL LYRICS as POSTED IN COLDPLAY.COM on NOVEMBER 3, 2011:

 

HURTS LIKE HEAVEN

 

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

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

Still I won’t let go

Still I won’t let go

 

Of you- ooh ooh

Cos you do

You use your heart as a weapon

And it hurts like heaven

 

On every street every car every surface a name

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

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’ll go making my mark

Armed with a spraycan soul

I’ll be armed with a spraycan soul

And you ooh ooh

You ooh ooh

Cos you use your heart as a weapon

And it hurts like heaven

 

Woah oh oh oh, woah oh oh oh

Yeah it’s true

When you

Use your heart as a weapon

Then it hurts like heaven

And it hurts like heaven

Oh oh oh-oh

 

And it hurts like heaven

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

thanks for posting those.

 

So it turns out we were pretty close though i think those one line in those lyrics is wrong. the line "On every street every car every surface a name, Tonight the streets are ours" doesn't sound right because i definitely hear an 's' at the end of 'names' in the studio version.

 

Many of Coldplays lyrics are wrong.....even the official ones so idk....

[sirajlyons]

This song is amazing

:drummer:

[Hartroc]

I'm fairly sure that these lyrics are not totally correct.

 

In fact, I'm absolutely positive that he says "every surface are names."
