Lovers in Japan anyone?

Um guyz. The song is obviously about King Louis XVI of France. France was extremely powerful at that time and then the revolutionaries came along and such because he wasn't a good king. Notice the French Flag on the Album cover.

I believe this song is based on Napoleon Bonaparte I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own he was ruler intill his armys lost at russia making him an exiled man the seas are a reference to the defeat of britin were the seas were the only armour mouring alone he is exiled sweep the streets i dont noe I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing: "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand I rolled the dies is his mistakes on the battle field He was supreme rule so the kingdoms feared his rule the sang his take over of the french kingdom he was general the key and walls were his lost in russia russia was the undefeated wall the castle was his army pillars of slat was regret and pillars of sand was weakness I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can not explain Once you've gone there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world the bells and sings was the celebration of his lost kingdom my mirror sword and shield is him asking french to help him missionary is self explanatory the once you've gone " his army" never in an honest word "not possible to defeat the Russian in the middle of winter as well as not trusting his own judgment" when i ruled the world he lost his kingdom he had Europe Asia and Africa t was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in. Shattered windows and the sound of drums People could not believe what I'd become Revolutionaries Wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king? wind and blew doors down was the winters of Russia so his army lost moral Shattered windows is the beginning of the french revolution and the people saw his lust of power Revolutionaries Wait for him to be killed and him to be presented on a silver plate the puppet and who would want to be king is the end of his rule are the revolution I know Saint Peter won't call my name he knew he would die and never get to heaven for all the evil things he did It all fits dosent it?

>Chorus? Are you talking about any particular song? I'm talking about the 30 second intro at the beginning of Violet Hill. >and what new intruments are you talking about? I didn't explain clear enough. I am talking about the sound of Coldplay. There's much more drums than usual in Violet Hill and unusual instruments are used in A spell a Rebel. Of all the released songs I only liked Viva la Vida.

Violet Hill was presented as a single so I compare it to Coldplay's previous ones: Yellow, Clocks, In My Place etc. Violet Hill simply doesn't match their standarts! I think Violet Hill would be good as a B-side but not as a single. I've asked many fellow Coldplay fans and they agree that the song is below Coldplay's average. To be more specific I don't like the choir in the beginning and I don't like the new sound. >but rather try to ADD something. Why add something if everything was great before? Why not just release a new hit song without any new influences?

Personally I think that their new music style is bad. The chorus at the beginning of the song and the new instruments simply don't fit Coldplay. What do you think?

I think this song is one of Coldplay's worst ones. It doesn't deserve to be a single. I don't understand why people like it so much.

Honestly their video is quite bad... Don't know why you like it so much.

Most everything you wrote was true, and while it's not elitist to point these out, it is ridiculous to label them mistakes.

im sorry the links dont work anymore...

thanks! i've been looking for these!
