Viva La Vida Lyrics
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep 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 Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
ooooo ooooo ooooo oooooo ooooo
(repeat with chorus)
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

Death And All His Friends Lyrics
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 frost 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 love's a pond that unfroze
And 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?

Cemeteries Of London Lyrics
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 nighttime for your weeping…
Your weeping…
Singing la lalalalala la lé…
And the night over London lay…
So we rode down to the river where the toiling ghosts spring,
For their curses to be broken…
We’d go underneath the arches where the witches are in the saying,
There are ghost towns in the ocean…
The ocean…
Singing la lalalalala la lé…
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 lalalalala la lé…
And the night over London lay…
Singing la lalalalala la lé…
There’s no light over London today…

42 Lyrics
Those who are dead are not dead
They’re just living 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 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
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…
Those who are dead are not dead
They’re just living my head
Oh..

Lost Lyrics
Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I will cross
Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve
No better and no worse
I just got lost
Every river that I've tried to cross
And every door I ever tried was locked
Ooh-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 may come
A bigger one
And you'll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the firing starts
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off…

Strawberry Swing Lyrics
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 leaving 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
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
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 But 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 But I have no doubt One day, the sun will come out
Reign of love I
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
Let us 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
Or we’d be carried
In the reign of love

Violet Hill Lyrics
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?
(Guitar Solo)
I don't want to be a soldier
That 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
Said, if you love me
Won't you let me know?
If you love me,
Won't you let me know?

Yes! Lyrics
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
Yeah we were dying of frustration
saying "Lord lead me not into temptation"
But it's not easy when she turns you on
Since they 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 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

COLDPLAY’s eagerly-anticipated fourth album looks certain to be the fastest-selling of the year when figures are announced this weekend.
The collection should romp to No1 on Sunday with sales of around 200,000 — shattering DUFFY'S 2008 first-week record of 183,000.
Woolworths reported copies were being snapped up at a rate of 20 every minute. HMV had placed their biggest ever pre-order.
And web forums are flooded with posts raving about the album, the band’s most experimental yet.
One said: “It’s their best album to date. Ten out of ten.”
Relieved
Favourable comparisons to fellow stadium-slayers U2 were rife, as was praise for producer BRIAN ENO.
But CHRIS MARTIN and the lads were just glad to have finished the job.
Chris said: “I feel very relieved that the album is finally released.
“It’s out of our hands now. It doesn’t belong to us anymore.”
Their sales tally is still a long way behind OASIS’ record-setting Be Here Now, which shifted 695,000 copies in three days back in 1997.
But the industry has changed hugely and I don’t think we’ll see those frantic first-week sales again.
But full marks to Coldplay for moving with the times with ideas including letting fans listen to the new album online before its release.
