^^ no the lyric has definitely always been "amen", watch any live performance with the camera on him while he sings it.

 

Yeah I've thought that from the beginning too, and it fits the song perfectly.

 

I know this makes no sense whatsoever but I would wager a significant amount of monopoly money on the idea that Chris actually says "Spray Tan Soul" the second time on the album version of HLH. Like some sort of inside joke.

Really? I've always heard it as "Oh morning, come bursting, the clouds, they mend."

 

As in, the clouds mend.....which brings some sort of image of clouds rearranging in a pretty way (see: Paradise music video, after the 1st chorus).

 

"Oh morning come bursting, the clouds amen" is not grammatically complete and doesn't make sense.

 

That's how I hear/see it at least.

 

Well it would be "Oh Morning come bursting the clouds. Amen." And then it is grammatically correct.

Ohhh I see it now. I hope that isn't the lyric though just because I don't want to be wrong about this, and because that's a really random place to say, "amen."

Well it would be "Oh Morning come bursting the clouds. Amen." And then it is grammatically correct.

 

I always thought this :nod:

Nice, cant wait for Side B

 

EDIT: Just listened to Side A while reading the official lyrics and I agree some of the lyrics are wrong!!

They must hire some random person to write the lyrics while they listen to the album, because some of these are so wrong.... (Or maybe they're right! Noooo!)

Charlie Brown is missing a line or two? correct me if i'm wrong.... maybe i'm just listening wrong or overhearing something that isn't there...

 

 

light a fire up by the smoke

light a fire a flame in my heart

 

bold and italicized is missing right?

Why oh why did they publish lyrics that differ from what it sung on the CD? Someone ought to ask the Oracle (not me, she never answers me :bigcry:)

 

You know the story of Daniel and the lion's den right? Whether you know it or not, someone in a lion's den isn't a good thing. So just imagine a drunk, hazard Daniel in a lion's den. A REALLY bad thing. :laugh3: I'm assuming he sees himself this Daniel.

 

Well, that's what I took from it anyway. ;)

Yep, I also think that this person sees himself as Daniel in the den. The name Daniel makes a huge different with any person that could be in the den. Ruben made a painting named "Daniel in the Lion's Den" which is about Daniel from the Bible. The king was angry because Daniel kept on believing in God while the King prohibited him to do so. So the king threw Daniel in a pit filled with lions, so the loins would shred him to pieces. But the lions would not touch him so the king let him out after a while. (correct me if I tell the story wrong)

In Ruben's painting Daniel is sitting in the den surrounded by lions. Daniel doesn't know yet that the lions mean no harm to him, so he is praying fiercefully to his God to survive this hazardous situation. It is this moment I think Chris is referring to in his lyrics. Mylo is our rebel hero (like Daniel was a rebel in his time) thrown in the den by society. He is feeling right there what Daniel must have felt when he was thrown in the den. (still don't know where 'drunken' fits in though)

Thank you for that ! That actually makes sense

Hazard might be in the sense of a bet, so he's saying his drunken bet has no chance?

Also, it was a band of cretins who tricked the king into having to throw Daniel into the den; the king didn't really want to do it. After he found Daniel alive on the third day, he threw the cretins into the lion's den and they got eaten.

Thanks for correcting the Daniel story, I am not really familiar with those biblical stories :S

 

Wow, and I didn't know hazard also meant bet. Sucks to not have English as a native language sometimes. I just looked up the definitions of hazard and you’re right, it might well be hazard as in bet/chance. I might now go to deep into it and speculate way too much, but right now I think I can place the drunken hazard better if it seen as an unsteady chance (which seems a pleonasm, because the nature of chance is unsteady). I don’t think drunken should be used as intoxicated too, but more like the effect of intoxication. So the hazard is unsteady by nature, and hazard might mean chance, so he feels like Daniel in a lion’s den (I think we can agree on that at least) and he feels like this is due to a happening/situation involving chance. If he is rebelling Mylo here, then it might be his rebelling that got him into trouble (rebelling is the risky thing here) and this lead to him feeling like Daniel in a loin’s den.

- Of course it could be something totally different too. I was also thinking about his lost friend who could be the one who is in the loin’s den because Mylo did something stupid (the drunken hazard).

If I might hazard another opinion...

Hazard might be used in the sense of present...he's hazarding himself as a drunken Daniel in the lion's den...it's quite poetic I think.

Mylo Xyloto - Side B lyrics

The official lyrics to Major Minus, U.F.O., Princess Of China, Up In Flames, Don't Let It Break Your Heart and Up With The Birds

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMgT8WnRSeg&feature=player_embedded]Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto album sampler (Side B) - YouTube[/ame]

 

Following our recent posting of Mylo Xyloto's Side A lyrics here on Coldplay.com, we're back with the lyrics to the songs on Side B.

 

MAJOR MINUS

 

They got one eye watching you

One eye on what you do

So be careful who it is you’re talking to

They got one eye watching you

One eye on what you do

So be careful what it is you’re trying to do

And be careful if you’re walking into view

Just be careful if you’re walking into view

 

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on you

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on

 

They got one eye watching you

One eye on what you do

So be careful 'cos nothing they say is true

No don’t believe a word

It's just us against the world

And we just got to turn up to be heard

Hear the crocodiles ticking round the world

Hear the crocodiles ticking, they go ticking round the world

 

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on you

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh

Got one eye on the road and

You could hear them climbing the stairs

Got my right side fighting while my left hides under the chairs

 

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on you

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on you

 

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

 

UFO

 

Lord I don’t know which way I am going

Which way the river’s going to flow

It just seems that upstream I keep rowing

Still got such a long way to go

Still got such a long way to go

 

And that light hits your eyes

I know I swear we’ll find somewhere

The streets are paved with gold

 

Bullets fly split the sky

But that's alright sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes

 

Ohohoh

 

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

 

PRINCESS OF CHINA

 

Once upon a time somebody ran

Somebody ran away saying ‘fast as I can

I got to go, 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 burned 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

 

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

 

'Cos you really hurt me, no you really hurt me

'Cos you really hurt me, no you really hurt me

'Cos you really hurt me, no you really hurt me

'Cos you really hurt me, no you really hurt me

 

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

 

UP IN FLAMES

 

So it’s over

This time I know it’s gone

Sal****er

Been tasting it too long

 

I only know I’m wrong

Now I know it’s gone

 

Up in flames

We have slowly gone

 

So it’s over

This time you’re flying on

This time I know no song

Can stop its lonely burn

Can stop it slowly going

 

Up in flames

We have slowly gone

We have slowly gone

 

Can’t we pour some water on?

 

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

 

DON’T LET IT BREAK YOUR HEART

 

And if I lost the map

If I lost it all

Or fell into the trap

Then she’d call

‘When you’re tired of racing

And you find you never left the start

Come on baby

Don’t let it break your heart’

 

Though heavily we bled

Still on we crawl

Try to catch a cannonball

And a slowly burning tide

Through my veins is flowing

From my shipwreck I heard her call

 

‘When you’re tired of aiming your arrows

Still you never hit the mark

Even in your rain and shadows

Still we’re never going to part

Come on baby

Don’t let it break your heart’

 

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

 

UP WITH THE BIRDS

 

The birds they sang, break of day

'Start again' I hear them say

It's so hard to just walk away

 

The birds they sang, all a choir

'Start again', a little higher

It’s a spark in a sea of grey

 

The sky is blue, dream that lie 'til it's true

Then taking back the punch I threw

My arms turn wings oh those clumsy things

Send me up to that wonderful world

And then I’m up with the birds

 

Send me up to that wonderful world

And then I’m up with the birds

 

Might have to go where they don’t know my name

Float all over the world just to see her again

But I won’t show or feel any pain

Even though all my armour might rust in the rain

A simple plot, but I know one day

Good things are coming our way

A simple plot, but I know one day

Good things are coming our way

Oh yeah!

Coldplay's new album, Mylo Xyloto, is out now - get it from iTunes at cldp.ly/itunescp

So it’s over

This time I know it’s gone

Sal****er

Been tasting it too long

 

 

:laugh3: I love how salt water is censored. haha :lol:

Uhh, did the rest of the UFO lyrics grow legs and run away or something..?:confused:

LOL thats so funny! Anyway, a lot of these are really surprising lyrics. DLIBYH actually makes sense now.

POC: Have to go and throw water on my flame? --> didnt know it

 

 

DLIBYH:

When you’re tired of ?racing?

Still you never hit the mark

U.F.O. :') Annoucing this big, but making so much mistakes...

POC: Have to go and throw water on my flame? --> didnt know it

 

 

DLIBYH:

When you’re tired of ?racing?

Still you never hit the mark

 

That one of DLIBYH is definitely wrong.... He clearly sings ''When you're tired of aiming your arrows, still you never hit the mark'' It's really bad they don't even know the real lyrics.

wow either the guy who wrote the lyrics is deaf or he's drunken !

Have I always misheard "dream out loud til it's true" on UWTB (b/c i loved that line) or is that another one of the countless mistakes?

Awful lyrics. U.F.O's lyrics, as Rvs_009 said, are half missing! Where are the ohoohhooohoohs i always luagh when I see them written down :o

wow either the guy who wrote the lyrics is deaf or he's drunken !

 

I swear! It's embarrassing!

BTW Chris doesn't repeat "Send me up to that wonderful world And then I’m up with the birds" like the "official lyrics" say

Come on , still got such a long way to row? haha he really sings ''go'' , did really nobody bother to just check the lyrics?
