Coldplay

Coldplay are a British alternative rock band formed in London, England in 1998.
They are named after a British psychology book called Child's Reflections, Cold Play.
Martin was in the 2004 movie Shaun Of The Dead. He played a zombie.
In December 2003, they were named by readers of Rolling Stone magazine as the best artist and the best band of the year.
Despite Coldplay's worldwide popularity, the band has remained protective of how their music is used in the media, refusing its use for product endorsements. In the past, Coldplay turned down multi-million dollar contracts from Gatorade, Diet Coke, and Gap, who wanted to use the songs "Yellow", "Trouble", and "Don't Panic" respectively.

Lyrics:

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
And 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

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

Speed of Sound

Lyrics:

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 the 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?
Ill start before I can stop,
or before I see things the right way up.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I have found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds come flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand

Ideas that you'll never find,
All the inventors could 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, and all that sound,
All those places I have 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,
ah when you see it then you'll understand

All those signs, I knew what they meant.
Some things you can invent.
Some get made, and some get sent,
Ooh
Birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds come flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
ah, when you see it then you'll understand

Talk

(0000)

Lyrics:

Oh brother I can't, I can't get through,
I've been trying hard to reach you cos I don't know what to do,
Oh brother I can't believe it's true,
I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you,
Oh I wanna talk to you.....

You can take a picture of something you see,
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun,
Or write a song nobody had sung,
Or do,
Something that's never been done.

Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how you feel...
Well I feel like they're talking in a language I dont speak,
And they're talking it to me...

So you take a picture of something you see,
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun,
Or write a song nobody had sung,
Or do,
Something that's never been done.
Or do,
Something that's never been done.

So you don't know where you're going but you wanna talk.
And you feel like you're going where you've been before.
You'll tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored.
Nothing's really making any sense,
Come on,
Let's talk,
Let's talk...
Let's talk,
Let's talk...
