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

 

maybe he's the drunken hazard Daniel in the lion's den :laugh3:

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

 

No. They were abducted by aliens.

I sent off a version of the following statement to our dear Oracle. She's answered me a couple times before; let's hope she does so again.

 

"I was very excited to see the official lyrics posted on this site...until I realized there are many that are incorrect. Side A seemed more or less correct -- when the lyrics to Charlie Brown were given as "And a cartoon heart" rather than "Be a cartoon heart" (which is what Chris actually sings), I figured that he just deviated a bit from the official lyrics when the song was recorded. The side B lyrics are a mess, though. The entire last part of UFO is missing ("Bullets fly/Split the sky/But that's alright sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes), DLIBYH has a botched second chorus ("When you're tired of racing" is given twice, when the second time should actually be "When you're tired of aiming your arrows"). I'm sure there are other lyrics and songs that are incorrect as well. Any chance on getting everything corrected?"

I thought those lyrics were supposed to be offivial? The ones on here are more accurate!

The U.F.O. lyrics are embarrassingly wrong, who wrote these I mean seriously. One can obviously tell that their are mistakes, especially when it says 'The that light...' :facepalm: They never even bothered to write half of the song :lol:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't these the same lyrics given with the Japanese version of the CD? If so, how in the world did it even take so long to post them to the website to begin with? Something strange is going on if you ask me...

Bullets fly, Split the sky.....etc.... COMPLETELY MISSING from UFO :S . What is going on here? Honestly disapointing

COMPLETE LYRICS THAT I FIXED:

 

Mylo Xyloto

 

Instrumental

 

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

 

Paradise

 

When she was just a girl

She expected the world

But it flew away from her reach so

She ran away in her sleep

and dreamed of

Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise

Every time she closed her eyes

 

When she was just a girl

She expected the world

But it flew away from her reach

and the bullets catch in her teeth

Life goes on, it gets so heavy

The wheel breaks the butterfly

Every tear a waterfall

In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes

In the night the stormy night away she'd fly

 

and dreams of

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

She'd dream of

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh

 

lalalalalalalalalalala

And so lying underneath those stormy skies

She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"

 

This could be

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

This could be

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

This could be

Para-para-paradise

Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh

 

Charlie Brown

 

Wooh, ooh ooh ooh

 

Stole a key

Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet

Took a car downtown and took what they offered me

To set me free

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene

Saw the lights go down and standing in front of me

 

Ooh ooh ooh

 

In my scarecrow dreams

When they smash my heart into smithereens

Be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete

Be a cartoon heart

Light a fire a fire a spark

Light a fire a flame in my heart

We’ll run wild

We’ll be glowing in the dark

Oooh ooh ooh

We’ll be glowing in the dark

A-woo-a-wooooo

 

All the boys, all the girls, all that matters in the world

All the boys, all the girls, all the madness that occurs

All the highs all the lows, as the room a-spinning goes

We’ll run riot, we’ll be glowing in the dark

 

Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh

So we’ll soar

Luminous and wired

We’ll be glowing in the dark

 

Us Against The World

 

Oh morning come bursting the clouds amen

Lift off this blindfold let me see again

Bring back the water let your ships roll in

In my heart she left a hole

 

The tightrope that I’m walking just sways and ties

The devil as he’s talking with those angel’s eyes

And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes

And the saints go marching in

 

And sing

Slow it down

Through chaos as it swirls

It's us against the world

 

Like a river to a raindrop I lost a friend

My drunken hazard daniel in a lion's den

And tonight I know it all has to begin again

So whatever you do, don’t let go

 

If we could float away

Fly up to the surface and just start again

Lift off before trouble just erodes us in the rain

Just erodes us in the rain

Just erodes us and see roses in the rain saying

 

Slow it down

Through chaos as it swirls

It's us against the world

 

Through chaos as it swirls

It's us against the world

 

M.M.I.X.

 

Instrumental

 

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

 

I turn the music up, I got my records on

I shut the world outside until the lights come on

Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone

I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song

 

And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night

Until Monday morning feels another life

I turn the music up

I'm on a roll this time

And heaven is in sight

 

I turn the music up, I got my records on

From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song

Don't want to see another generation drop

I'd rather be a comma than a full stop

 

Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees

Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes

But my heart is beating and my pulses start

Cathedrals in my heart

 

And we saw oh this light I swear you, emerge blinking into

To tell me it's alright

As we soar walls, every siren is a symphony

And every tear's a waterfall

Is a waterfall

Oh

Is a waterfall

Oh oh oh

Is a is a waterfall

Every tear

Is a waterfall

Oh oh oh

 

So you can hurt, hurt me bad

But still I'll raise the flag

 

Oh

It was a wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall

A wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall

 

Every tear

Every tear

Every teardrop is a waterfall

 

Every tear

Every tear

Every teardrop is a waterfall

 

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 when you're walking into view

Just be careful when 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 cause nothing they say is true

no d, -don't believe a word

its jus-ust-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

 

U.F.O.

 

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

 

Princess Of China

 

Once upon a time somebody ran away

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 go

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

Salt water

Been tasting it too long

 

I only know I'm wrong

Now I know it's gone

 

Up in flames

Up in flames

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

Up in flames

Up in flames

We have slowly gone

 

Up in flames

Up in flames

Up in flames

We have slowly gone

Oh, we have slowly gone

 

Can't we pour some water on?

 

A Hopeful Transmission

 

Instrumental

 

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

 

She said: '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'

 

Don't let it break your heart

 

Up With The Birds

 

The birds they sang, at 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

 

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!

I'm sure this is what's happening....these are the 'official' lyrics, which Chris probably submitted. However, when singing, he makes little mistakes. I'm sure during live performances, there will be other little word switches.

 

And, I, too, don't get the drunkin Daniel line. I understand the gist of what he's saying but his word usage is whacked,.

 

I think this line works perfectly. I don't understand why people look for grammatical sense in lyrics. Lyrics are basically poetry and I don't see why they HAVE to work grammatically.

 

This line works very well through suggestive imagery juxtaposed directly, without any kind of punctuation. There's "drunken hazard" and "daniel in a lion's den" placed together which combine to create a very interesting and suggestive image.

 

There are a lot of lines in coldplay lyrics that don't make sense grammatically, but this doesn't mean that there is no meaning there. There definitely is meaning, it's just not straightforward. That doesn't make it a bad line.

also, the lyrics for UWTB say "the birds they sang, break of day" where it should be "at break of day." though that could just have been a typo by whoever typed these 'official' lyrics. same goes for 'Poh' as well :laugh3:

This is embarrassing. Really. :thinking:

It really is embarrassing. I'd hate to be the site's editor right now...

Well, they've updated and corrected some of the lyrics, but I'm still seeing quite a few errors left.

This thread is so funny. CP.com should have hired one of us to write the lyrics.

This thread is so funny. CP.com should have hired one of us to write the lyrics.

 

Haha seriously. I wonder if they make their corrections based on what we bring up in this thread? Let's test that theory: hey CP.com, in Us Against The World, it should be "The devil as he's talking with those angel's eyes," not "talking to those angel's eyes."

LOL the guy who directed you to the post is the same guy who wrote the post :)

And I agree...

Some mistakes I heard:

 

MM: and be careful if you're walking into view

if must be when, for sure. In the next line as well.

PoC: Rihanna sings Now why d’you have to go instead of Now why d’you have to throw

DLIBYH: Missing the line when she sang all together :confused:

 

Charliebrown14, I also didn't see these corrections in your 'fixed' lyrics. No so fixed yet perhaps?

 

Oh man, don't even get me started on U.F.O. ...

 

What's up with the one putting those lyrics up as the official?

maybe he's the drunken hazard Daniel in the lion's den :laugh3:

Fixed!:embarrassed: DLIBYH is THEN she sang, though.

I'm going to sound stupid asking this question but in Hurts Like Heaven is it really "It's so cold, Its so cold" isnt just "so cold, so cold" does chris even have time to sing "It's so cold, Its so cold". Also in princess of china is rihanna really singing "we burned bright" because I keep hearing "we were burnin' bright". I wish i knew
