10. The Scientist (A Rush of Blood to the Head)

The Scientist-Coldplay

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and nurse me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming in tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart.
Questions of science, science and progress
Don't speak as loud as my heart.
Tell me you love me, and come back and haunt me,
Oh, when I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing tails
Coming back as we are.

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy.
No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start.

9. Yellow (Parachutes)

Yellow-Coldplay

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called "Yellow"

So then I took my turn
Oh all the things I've done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh all the things you do
Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know for you i bleed myself dry
For you i bleed myself dry

Its true look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine
look at the stars look how they shine for you

8. Cemeteries of London (Viva la Vida)

Cemeteries of London-Coldplay

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

7. Speed of Sound (X & Y)

Speed of Sound-Coldplay

How long before I get in
Before it starts, before I begin
How long before you decide
Before I know what it feels like
Where to, where do I go
If you never try then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on this side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get
Is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I'll start before I can stop
Before I see things the right way up

All that noise, and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand

Ideas that you'll never find
All the inventors can never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
The sign that I couldn't read
Or a light that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles, puzzling me

All that noise, all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand

All those signs I knew what they meant
Somethings you can't invent
Some get made, and some get sent
Birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand

6. Violet Hill (Viva la Vida)

Violet Hill-Coldplay


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 fog
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
A love back home unfolds

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?

5. A Whisper (A Rush of Blood to the Head)

A Whisper-Coldplay

A whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper
A whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper

I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks
Remember your face, and remember see where you are gone
I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks
Come back and look for me, look for me when I am lost

Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper
Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper

Night turns to day and I still have these questions
You just won't break, should I go forwards or backwards
Night turns to day and I've still got no answers

Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper
Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper

Now I hear the sound of a ticking of clocks
Remember your face, and remember see where you are gone
I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks
Come back and look for me, look for me when I am lost

Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper
Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper

4. Lost! (Viva la Vida) (Not to be confused with Lost?, Lost@, Lost+(feat. Jay-Z) OR Lost-)

Lost!-Coldplay

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
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 stops

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…

3. Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love (Viva la Vida)

Lovers in Japan-Coldplay <--WARNING: If you get dizzy really easily, I don't recommend watching.

Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love-Coldplay <--This version includes Reign of Love  

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 are gonna get out

Tonight maybe we're gonna run
Dreaming of the Osaka sun

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
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


2. Viva la Vida (Viva la Vida)
 


Viva la Vida-Coldplay

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 enemies' 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 go there was never, never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

It was a 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 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

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

Host: Anyways...the real number 1?

1. Strawberry Swing (Viva la Vida)

Strawberry Swing-Coldplay <--BEST VIDEO EVER. Why? Because the whole thing was done on the floor. With chalk. Sounds hard? YES. And yes, that's Chris.

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 you 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
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 gray without you I just slide away
The sky could be blue, I don't mind, without you it's a waste of time

Host: Alright! Thank you very much for that...very long post.

Oscar: Yes, it was long.

Host: Yes.

Oscar: Yes.

Host: Yes.

Oscar: Yes is a song by Coldplay.

Host: Awesome.

Oscar: Are we done?

Host: Yes.

Oscar: Okay then, I'll be leaving now.

Host: Bye!

(By the way, this whole thing is about 2500 words.)

  3. *spits water* 2500 words! God it took me 10 seconds just scroll down to see the other posts! I don't care too much about Coldplay but they are in the Kid's choice Awards as a nominee along with Linkin Park (Something that will make you a happy man, Oscar...)! By the way, what's with Coldplay and random song names and album covers? I swear, Viva la vida has nothing to do with Strawberry Swing! Also, your evil twin used your account to make his evil blog and post, he even used your identity for the about me box! And where does your evil twin live? I would like to visit him and ask why is he so weirdly evil!

  7. Wow, it must have taken you along time to type this(or maybe not since you pasted the lyrics). All the songs are about hurting and darkness and all that(I don't like that type of music maybe thats why I don't like coldplay, but many other people do so oh well). I liked how you added a conversation, it totally makes your post much more interesting(you know I might try that thx for the idea(Y)). It's funny how Shabir likes strawberry swing just because its about strawberries xD

  9. To Linda: It took a lot longer than you think, since some of the lyric websites are practically deaf. They ALWAYS get the lyrics wrong and I have to change it. That's why it took so long before I could post it.

    To Menan: My post is 2500 words long, if you didn't notice the message. Also, it's fun to write long posts. I have a lot on my mind anyways.
