Favourite: Tie between Cemeteries of London/42/Death And All His Friends Least favourite: Lost! (a little disappointing, especially after listening to the b-side version, still very good, just not as good as the others).

An update to "Reign of Love": Reign of love I can’t let go To the sea I offer This heavy load Locusts will Lift me up I’m just a prisoner In a reign of love Locusts will ? I wish I'd spoken To the reign of love Reign of love By the church, we're waiting Reign of love My knees go praying How I wish I'd spoken up ? In the reign of love.

Okay, this is what I got for lyrics. There are still some question marks lying around, and some lines that I'm not too sure about. Feel free to correct. "Life In Technicolor" Ohh ohh ohh... "Cemeteries Of London" At night they would go walking 'Til 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 nighttime 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 the (?) For their curses to be broken We go wander 'neath the arches Where the witches are (?) 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 ehh There’s no light over London today. "Lost!" Just because I'm losing Doesn't mean I'm lost Doesn't mean I'll stop Doesn't mean I'm a cross 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 Ohh, 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 Ohh, and I just waited 'til the firing stopped Ohh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off Ohh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off Ohh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off. "42" 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 Ohh... Time is so short And I'm sure There must be something more Those who are dead Are not dead They're just living in my head Ohh... And since I fell For that spell I am living there as well Ohh... Time is so short And I'm sure There must be something more Ohh... 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, ohh ohh... Those who are dead Are not dead They're just living in my head Ooh... "Lovers In Japan" Lovers, keep on the road you're on Runners until the race is run Soldiers, you’ve got to soldier on Sometimes even the 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 But I have no doubt One day, were gonna get out Tonight, maybe we’re gonna run Dreaming of the Osaka sun Ohh... Dreaming 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 But 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 Locusts will Lift me up I’m just a prisoner In a reign of love Locusts will Never stop I wish I'd spoken To the reign of love Reign of love By the church, we're waiting Reign of love My knees go praying How I wish I'd spoken up Away we're carried In the 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 the daylight There we were dying of frustration Singin, "Lord lead me not into temptation" But it's not easy when she turns you on (?) 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 so tired of this loneliness So, up they picked me by the big toe I was held from the rooftop, then they let go There's only screaming, let the windows down As I come 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. "Chinese Sleep Chant" Fall asleep Driving me Sleep satisfy Sleep satisfy Fall asleep Driving me Sleep satisfy Sleep satisfy Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep satisfy Sleep satisfy Fall asleep Fall asleep Sleep crucify Sleep crucify Fall asleep Fall asleep Sleep satisfy Sleep satisfy Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep satisfy Sleep satisfy. "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 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 St. Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Ohh... 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 St. Peter won't call my name Never an honest work But that was when I ruled the world Ooh... "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 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 frauds 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 love's opposed By armed foes And if you love me, won't you let me know? I don't wanna be a soldier Who a 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? "Stawberry 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 (?) Wouldn't wanna waste a thing Cold, cold water, bring me 'round Now my feet won't touch the ground Cold, cold water, whatcha 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 leaving all the time Inside a perfectly straight line Don't you wanna curve away? And it's such, it's such a perfect day It's such a perfect day 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 The sky could be blue Could be grey Without you I'm just miles away The sky 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, let's 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 to battle from beginning to end I don’t want a cycle of recycled revenge I don’t want to follow death and all of his friends No I don’t want to battle from beginning to end I don’t want a cycle of recycled revenge I don’t want to follow death and all of his friends. "The Escapist" And in the end We lie awake And we dream of making our escape And in the end We lie awake And we dream of making our escape.

Finally the actual lyrics!...But I hear "My love's a pose that unfroze". I dunno, could just be me. The videos are brilliant! Brilliant, I tells ya! Just hope there's full versions of the videos coming out soon. I wanna hear the rest of Lovers In Japan and Chinese Sleep Chant!

Yeah, I think you're pretty much right, just a couple of mistakes. I don't think he sings "Saying stay gone", doesn't sound like it to me, but I don't know what he could be saying: When it started, we had high 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 the daylight There we were dying of frustration Singin', "Lord, lead me not into temptation" But it's not easy when she turns you on (?) If you'd only, if you'd only say "Yes" Whether you will is 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 the loneliness

Woops. I started a lyrics thread as well. I guess this one was posted while I was cretaing it, so I'll just move my lyrics to this thread lol. My bad. Well here they are: I'm not 100% sure, but I hope you guys can help me fugure it out: Lovers, keep on the road you're 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 But I have no doubt One day, we are gonna get out Tonight maybe we're gonna run Dreaming of the Osaka sun Ohh ohh... Dreaming 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 But I have no doubt One day the sun will come out Ooh...

Lovers in Japan lyrics. First of all, I gotta say the acoustic version of LIJ is fantastic. Beautiful indeed. Anywho, I couldn't find any threads relating to lyrics for this song, so I decided to start one. Here's what I have so far. It's incomplete, but I got most of it down. If I made any mistakes, my bad and feel free to correct them. Here they are: Lovers, keep on (?) Running until the race is run Soldiers, you've got to soldier on Sometimes even right is wrong And I'm turning my head out To see what I'm all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I have no doubt One day, we are gonna get out Tonight maybe we're gonna run Dreaming of the Osaka sun Ohh ohh... Dreaming of when the morning comes And I'm turning my head out To see what I'm all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I have no doubt One day the sun will come out Ooh...

....wait, i thought they were playing "Violet Hill" at the Movie Awards. At least that's what I've been reading. But yeah, I'm interested to see how they'd do "Viva La Vida" live. But I'm sure Coldplay'll find a way.

Here's a cover I did of Green Eyes, as part of my Tune Time series, recorded in a bathroom in my house. Here's the link: Enjoy!

25 times...and that's only cuz I found out about this wondrous event 3 hours ago...Viva Coldplay!

yeah, that article's probably the dumbest thing I've ever read. The author also did not consider another slightly ridiculous title..."Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"...not the most orthodox album title, but it just happens to be one of the influential albums ever released! Plus, it's an amazing record. Well, then again, it's the Beatles, so of course it's good. AND it sold pretty well; it still sells well to this day. This guy's an utter fool.

Yeah, I don't hear "fog" either. I hear "frost became God", I'm like 80% sure there's an "s" sound at that point, but again, not totally sure. It's definitely "my love's" not "my nerves"...I definitely heard the "l" sound, so that's for sure... And I still hear it as "My love's a pond that unfroze"....sry for posting the same line thrice, but i just believe it that much lol. If it isn't that, I give up lol.

yeah, that's what I though the line was at first, but the line didn't make sense to me either. and that's when I came up with the line that I posted earlier: My love's a pond that unfroze It sounds perfect to me, and it makes sense in context....well either way, this whole lyrics deciphering business is tough :thinking: But I'm sure we'll still be debating this until some offical lyrics come from the band themselves.

http://www.youtube.com/user/improvtom103 I have a series on YouTube called Tom's Tune Time. It's just me playing my acoustic guitar. So far, I have 11 videos, 6 covers (including Green Eyes), and 5 originals. And I'm forming a band with a friend of mine...we're calling ourselves Metatron after an amazing song by The Mars Volta...so I'm sure we'll wind up recording those originals in the near future. Hope you all enjoy!

Oh my God!!!! I think I got it! :D Bury me in armour When I'm dead and hit the ground My love's a pond that unfroze It sounds about right. What do you guys think? Also, I think it might be: And the frost became God Not 100% sure about that one, but it fits in with the whole winter theme prevalent in the song. BTW, Chris Martin = genius lyricist!
