Yeah, I find it terribly frustrating trying to read, understand, relate these songs.

I'd like to thank you for not using the whole words :D

 

Well I need to think of the people with C** K*** sensitive epilepsy. :dozey: :D

 

Actually, those lyrics sound kinda overdramatic for MX, maybe they too are from the VIVA era. :thinking:

I think 'better' is the word you're looking for :charming:

You're saying that an album with lyrics like "every tear a waterfall" and "up in flaaaaaaames we've slowly gone" isn't dramatic?

The man who swears! :cheesy:

Seriously anyone remember Goodbye Goodnight :confused:?

 

I love Goodbye and goodnight. I would love to hear more of it. :wacky:

^^ True. Although I can't imagine why they would scrap some of these in favor of PoC, etc.

 

every tear a waterfall and up in flames from part of PoC because Us Against the World

You're confusing dramatic with cheesy. :awesome: But good cheesy. :dazzled:

 

The two of us we drove

A speeding ghost, and a shadow

Luminous to the road to the sea

We swam from the shallows

To battle lightning's glow

Where we're gonna run, God only knows

Take you . . .

 

Ghosts, battles, God... It's VIVA-esque to me. :thinking:

This is the first time I hear about this song. (Don't crucify me.)

But I love it when Chris swears. :dazzled:

 

:D

I agree? :/

:nod: And the Viva-era lyrics were :dazzled:

If they pull of a Life in Technicolor ii out of MX or A Hopeful Transmission it must be amazing:dazzled:

^ If we don't get any other releases from Coldplay during this era, I want either the Great Expectations lyrics, or the 'luminous' lyrics from the cover :wacky:

"There's a man who swears he's God

But I'm pretty sure he's not"

has the same amount of syllables as

"They got one eye watching you

And one eye on what you do"

 

Sing it, the first stanza sounds perfect!

 

I think maybe we should try this with the other Demos and released MX songs.

^ good find! We should try that! :)

Cool find. Wasnt it part of the videos from the Viva demos with Chris on the piano. It sounded very different from Major Minus. But, who knows?

^ Yes :)

I tried to sing MM with those lyrics and they all fit with the song's tempo and everything :stunned:

Well, If The Man Who Swears did Become Major Minus I am very satisfied with the result!:D

So very interesting!! :D

Wait...I've been gone for awhile, where did this "The Man Who Swears" thing come from?

From the special edition booklet I think :thinking:

In the limited edition booklet, there's an excerpt from Chris' notebook with the lyrics to A Man Who Swears--but the title above it says Major Minus. :)
