My_Song_Is_Love

It looks more like a New York Italian restaurant owner to me. No offense to anyone out there...ahha

I KNOW! PEOPLE ARE LIKE "I have Coldplay on my iPod and it says "Beautiful World" I'm like "WTF is this?!" haha. If you like a song it might be good to know the ACTUAL name of it.

I think it's okay for someone to call themselves a true Coldplay fan if they like stuff more than their songs on the radio. If they only like "Viva La Vida" "Clocks" and like "Fix You" "Speed of Sound" or whatever, they LIKE Coldplay. They aren't really a true fan. Not like us crazies on Coldplaying.com :)

Or when people say "coldplay is a one man show (Chris) yeah...okay guys

i hate when people say "Coldplay is soo unoriginal" wtf is more original than Coldplay?!

Does anyone have the music for piano? AND I WENT TO THE BOSTON SHOWS TOOO!!! :-)

"To me, the sound of this record is the sound of Guy, Will and Johnny taking back the glory. Which makes me very happy." To me it sounds like Chris is saying people thought he was taking over the band and that's not the direction he wanted it to go in. But we all know that Chris is totally the leader, I'm just glad it hasn't gone to his head. THAT'S WHY HE'S LIKE THE BEST! CHRIS :heart:

Hmmm....well spoken footyfan10. I agree. I think that's what I was trying to get across, I'm just not very good at voicing ideas. :) I appriciate other types of music, but there're people who say that Coldplay rips off everyone's ideas....but I don't see how that's possible because their songs don't really sound a ton like those other bands.... AND YOU FORGOT A-HA! Without a-ha there is no Coldplay or no Chris falsetto. :D

Oh. and all those girls who are comming out now who sound the same...Miley, Miranda Cosgrove....THEY ALL SOUND THE SAMEEEEEEEEEEE!

People who call Coldplay unoriginal really piss me off. I just watched MTV Hits (Top 40) or whatever, and Lovers in Japan came on. How can people not call that ORIGINAL? I mean do they know the deffinition? I can't believe people would say that when every one of those bands on there now sound EXACTLY the same....You know like Secondhand Serenade and Cute is What We Aim For, and like Panic at the Disco. THEY ALL SOUND THE SAME! Don't gemme wrong, i'm a fan of them too, but they sound the same. Sometimes I think people think Coldplay is unoriginal because whenever they come out with a new sound people start to copy it........ I don't know, but people who say Coldplay are unoriginal really make me mad. WHAT COULD BE MORE ORIGINAL THAN COLDPLAY? PUPPETS AND AN OLD WOMAN DANCING IN A MUSIC VIDEO? WHAT COULD BE MORE ORIGINAL THAN THAT?!?!?!? Anyway...post your thoughts....I'm done venting. :D

He's gone through some bad hairstyles...hahaha

Here are the official lyrics for the "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" album. They are taken from the official song book, copyright 2008 Universal Music. Some of them don't seem like the words used on the album, but they are. Please don't post saying they are incorrect. They were taken directly from Coldplay's official piano/guitar/vocals book. Thanks! 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 la la lay, And the night Over London lay So we rode down to the river Where Victorian ghosts pray For their 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 la la lay, And the night Over London lay God is in the houses, And God is in my head And all the cemet'ries of 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 la la lay And the night Over London lay Singing la la la la la la la la lay 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 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 Ev'ry river that I tried to cross, ev'ry door I ever tried was locked Oh and I'm Just waiting till the shine wears off You might be a big fish In a little pond; Doesn't mean you've won, Cause along will come A bigger one And you'll be lost! Ev'ry river that you tried to cross, Ev'ry gun you ever held went off. Oh and I'm Just waiting till the firing's stopped Oh and I'm Just waiting till the shine wears off Oh and I'm Just waiting till the shine wears off Oh and I'm Just waiting till 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 Oh 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 Oh And since I fell for that spell I am living there as well, Oh Time is so short and I'm sure There must be something more Oh oh oh oh oh 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 Those who are dead, Are not dead, They're just living in my head, Oo- 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 we're gunna get out Tonight, Maybe we're gunna run Dreaming of the Osaka sun Oh---- 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 Locust wind, Lift me up I'm just a pris'ner in a Reign of love Locust will Let us stop How I wish I'd spoken up 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 get carried On the reign of love Yes 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 Daylight There we were dying of frustration, Saying "Lord lead me not into tempation" But it's not easy when she turns you on. Sin, stay gone If you'd only If you'd 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 Hey! So, up they picked me by the big toe, I was held fromt the rooftop, Then they let go Dizzily screaming, "Let the windows down." As I crawl to the ground If you'd only, If you'd 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 Ah, sleep I need Sleep satisfies, Sleep satisfies, Ah, sleep, I need, Sleep satisfies Sleep satisfies Sleep- Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep satisfies Sleep satisfies Fall asleep Fall asleep Sleep mystifies Sleep mystifies Fall asleep Fall asleep Sleep satisfies Sleep satisfies Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep satisfies Sleep satisfies 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 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't explain Once you'd gone there was never, Never an honest word, But 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 And 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 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't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh 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't explain, I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word, But that was when I ruled the world. Oooh ooh oh oh oh---- 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 architechtured 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 fox Became God Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles And the cross Was held aloft Bury me in armour, When I'm dead and hit the ground, My nerves are poles, That unfroze And if you love me, Won't you let me know? {Guitar} I don't wanna 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? So, if you love me, Won't you let me know? Strawberry Swing They were sitting, They were sitting in the strawberry swing, Ev'ry moment was so precious They were sitting, They were talking in the strawberry swing, Ev'rybody 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 you say? When 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 till the morning, Wouldn't wanna change a thing People moving, All the time Inside a perfectly straight line Don't you wanna, Curve away? When it's such It's such a perfect day It's such a perfect day Ah---- Now the sky, 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 Without you it's a waste of time, Oh, 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 all 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 Drive! Drive! Drive! Drive! 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.... Please don't post below saying the lyrics are incorrect, they are correct and direct from the book. So there you have it! Those are the official Coldplay lyrics for all the Viva La Vida songs, taken from their official piano/guitar/vocals book. I was surprised at a few of them, because they don't seem like the actual words Chris is singing in the songs, but they are. Hope you enjoyed them! Louise

Does anyone have sheet music for it on the piano? I can read it.

I think Square One was supposed to be played along with "God put a smile..." but then the drum machine broke and they had to quickly switch to "talk". My favorite quote on the night: CHRIS: How old are you young man? 12? ARE YOU A JONAS BROTHER?! We're 30 and we keep getting kicked off the charts by teenagers!

YES! This concert was absolutely brill. I really wish that Prospekt's March had been out when they came round, would have loved to have heard some songs from that! One of the funniest parts of the show was when Will's drum machine stopped working and they had to quickly switch to "Talk". Quite amusing I must say. :D And Chris totally steals the show, does he not?
