Q. There is a song for Coldplay that always in my head, actually, its just two words that keep playing in my head:
it is If I fall if I fall,
or something like that
and goes like If I fall if I faaall,
oh gosh this is ridiculous lol !
Please help me to know which song ?!
The Oracle replies:
The first thing that popped into my head is Animals, which is available on the Clocks single. Though that lyric is: crumble and fall like an animal.
I think because it is now stuck firmly in my head I can't even think of another option!
Hmmm, the rhythm of what you wrote sounds like In My Place but that's not "If I fall" either.
Check back as I may very well edit this later when my brain clears...

Q. Dear Oracle,
A lot of us Coldplayers have been wondering about the lyrics to The World Turned Upside Down off the Fix You single for a long time now. There's one line in the third verse that was quite difficult to make out, so when your spanking new discography came online we rejoiced in the hope of finally seeing the actual words. But the line has been left out of the lyrics on the site! What, oh, what did Chris (intend to?) sing here?
The offending passage is:
X is Y
The land, sea, rivers, trees, the stars, the sky
365 degrees
All of the surface and the underneath
[....]
ah
And everything under the sun
And everything under the sun
Yours truly,
Irene
The Oracle replies:
Ha ha ha this made me laugh because of course we knew people would notice but would you believe that we do not know what the missing lyric is? This has happened before where Chris will change lyrics or make them up spontaneously so sometimes the recordings have very random words thrown in there that even Chris can't recall. As you can hear with TWTUD, that line is impossible to understand!

Q. Hey Oracle,
I've heard a song playing by Coldplay called Hunting High and Low but I am not sure it's by the band so can you please tell me who did the song? THANKS A LOT
The Oracle replies:
You're right to be unsure as the original song is by A-ha. Coldplay are fans and friends of the band and have been known to sing a little of Hunting High & Low at some previous shows.
