Let's take all the songs from Coldplay's albums, excluding EPs and so on (you can use them if you with though) - which ones could have alternate titles? Maybe you think the titles they've got are the best but I thought it would be interesting to see what different people may call each song...some I've decided not to change because I really can't think of a half-decent alternative name!

I have always been annoyed at the fact that the title song of X&Y contains no mention of X&Y in its lyrics anywhere, while the only song that does mention X&Y (The World Turned Upside Down) is just a humble B-side. If I had my way, I would rename X&Y something like Outer Space, or You And Me and make it a B-side. That way, The World Turned Upside Down would be renamed X&Y, and that could be on the album instead.

Viva la Vida doesn't say viva la vida, I think it should be If I Ruled The World or something. If you think about it though, it'd kinda be weird if all the songs had different names, even if they made more sense than the current ones. :pleased:

To rename them all would be a little too much work for me so here are a couple:

 

Don't Panic - Beautiful World

 

Politik - Open Up Your Eyes

The Scientist - Nobody Said It Was Easy

Clocks - Home

 

Square One - The Space In Wich We're Travelling

 

Life in Technicolor ii - Love Don't Let Me Go

42 - Those Who Are Dead Are Not Dead

Lovers in Japan - I Have No Doubt

Yes - Temptation, Frustration

Viva La Vida - When I Ruled the World

Violet Hill - If You Love Me Won't You Let Me Know?

 

Mylo Xyloto - Hurts Like Heaven

Charlie Brown - Cartoon Heart

M.M.I.X. - Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

Major Minus - One Eye Watching You

U.F.O. - Split the Sky

Princess of China - Once Upon a Time

A Hopeful Transmission - Don't Let It Break Your Heart

ohhhh...i feel stupid now.

Beautiful World is the name of a Take That song, so I would feel weird if a Coldplay song had the same name :\

^One of the original name was Beautiful World, wasn't it?

^ :nod:

Don't Panic is Beautiful World to me.

Some cheesy titles
