Bump, with new lyrics from the album
Life in Technicolor
None
Cemeteries of London
At night they would go walking
'till the breaking of the day
The morning is for sleeping
Through the dark streets they go searching
To see god in their own way
Save the night time for your weeping
Your weeping
Singing la la la la la la ehh
And the night over London lay
So we rode down to the river
where Victorian ghosts pray
For the curses to be broken
We go underneath the arches
where the witches are and they say
There are ghost towns in the ocean
The ocean
Singing la la la la la la ehh
And the night over London lay
God is in the houses
And God is in my head
And all the cemeteries in London
I see god come in my garden
But I don’t know what he said
For my heart it wasn’t open
Not open
Singing la la la la la la ehh
And the night over London Lay
Singing la la la la la la eh
There’s no light over London today
Lost!
Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I’ve stopped
Doesn't mean I’m across
Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved
No better and no worse
I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one
And you'll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting until the firing stopped
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Those who are dead
are not dead,
they're just living in my head.
And since I fell,
for that spell,
I am living there as well.
Time is so short
and I'm sure,
there must be something more.
Those who are dead,
are not dead,
are just living in my head.
And since I fell,
for that spell,
I am living there as well.
Time is so short,
and I'm sure,
there must be something more.
ooh
You thought you might be a ghost,
You thought you might be a ghost,
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close,
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close,
You thought you might be a ghost,
You thought you might be a ghost,
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close,
You didn't get to heaven but you oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Those who are dead,
are not dead,
they're just living in my head.
Lovers in Japan
Lovers keep on the road your on
Runners until the race is run
Soldiers you’ve got to soldier on
Sometimes even right is wrong
They are turning my head out
To see what I’m all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
And I have no doubt
One day, were gonna get out
Tonight, maybe we’re gonna run
Dreamin’ of the Osaka sun
Ohh, ohh, ohhh
Dreamin’ of when the morning comes
They are turning my head out
To see what I’m all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
And I have no doubt
One day, the sun will come out
Reign of Love
Reign of love
I can’t let go
To the sea I offer this heavy load
Locust wing
Lift me up
I’m just a prisoner in a reign of love
Locust wind
How I wish I’d spoken
To a reign of love
Reign of love by the church were waiting
Reign of love on my knees go praying
How I wish I’d spoken up
Away get carried on a reign of love

Yes
When it started we had hopes
Now my back's on the line
My back's on the ropes
When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool of us in daylight
There we were dying of frustration
Saying "Lord lead me not into temptation"
But it's not easy when she turns you on
Sin, stay gone
If you'll only, if you'll only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows I'm trying my best
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
So, up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop then they let go
Dizzily screaming ‘let the windows down’
As I crawl to the ground
If you'll only, if you'll only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows she won't let me rest
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness
Viva la Vida
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
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 and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't 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?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
Violet Hill
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
If you love me
Won't you let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fox
Became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft
Bury me in armor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfroze
If you love me
Won't you let me know?
I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below
So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?
I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
So if you love me
Won't you let me know?
If you love me,
Won't you let me know?
Strawberry Swing
They were sitting
They were sitting in the strawberry swing
Every moment was so precious
They were sitting
They were talking in the strawberry swing
Everybody was for fighting
Wouldn't wanna waste a thing
Cold, cold water
Bring me round
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Cold, cold water
What ya say?
It's such…
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
I remember
We were walking up to strawberry swing
I can't wait 'til the morning
Wouldn't wanna change a thing
People moving all the time
Inside a perfectly straight line
Don't you wanna curve away
It's such…
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
Ahh
Now the sky could be blue
I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time
Could be blue
I don’t mind
Without you it’s a waste of time
Could be blue,
Could be grey
Without you I’m just miles away
Could be blue
I don’t mind
Without you it’s a waste of time
Death and All His Friends
All winter we got carried
Away over on the rooftops
Lets get married
All summer we just hurried
So come over just be patient
And don’t worry
So come over, just be patient
And don’t worry
So come over, just be patient
and don’t worry
And don’t worry
No I don’t want a battle from beginning to end
I don’t want a cycle of recycle revenge
I don’t wanna follow death and all his friends
No I don’t want a battle from beginning to end
I don’t want a cycle of recycle revenge
I don’t wanna follow death and all his friends
The Escapist
And, in the end, we lie awake and dream of makin’ our escape
And, in the end, we lie awake and dream of makin’ our escape
