Coldplay Demos from Viva la Vida sessions 2 of 2

The Lyrics arent perfectly right.

The Man who swears

Theres a man who swears hes God,
But Im pretty sure hes not.
Theres a man who walks around
Like he owns the fucking lot.

Theres a man who takes his time,
From the hands of a cuckoo clock
You can hear him walk around
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.

At first, it was easy
But now whys it have to be so hard?
Heaven is a fire escape
You try to cling to in the dark

At first it was simple
But now it got to complicate
But the world just got a lovely time,
Or blame it all on my mistake!

Maybe I'll find heaven
One day, after dark
Maybe youll find heaven is a place to part?

"Oh, shit, I forgot the middle 8 of The Man Who Swears *random mumbling*"

Control the way we turn,
We are doing everything we can
We still cant seem to switch it on.
And oh, my time ran out.

I am floating up beneath the clouds
Trying to turn it on, it on.

And oh,
Its you and me, baby.
Im so sorry.
Baby, Idve done it, turning me on.

First Steps

Help me out, help me out
Cause Im falling and I cant get back.
And there isnt any number I can call for that.

Oh, help me out, help me out
Cause I fall, and I was so scared
I know what was severed, and Im rolling in

Even when the sun set
It burned my eyes
Even when the dark
Began to climb

And just because I roll the dice
And turned to worse
Together for the grace of God,
Dunno why

Loveless

Loveless,
Just those three tiny words.
Im falling, falling, falling, (Chris stuffing up)
Falling, falling till Im in.
Until I started tearing in
Im all alone, how long will it take?
Da da da da da da da

Goodbye and Goodnight

Look how far the river took us.
How far the river took my son.
But the boats gone round the harbour,
And I gotta know the sinner
And I wait.

Theres a boat goin down the road and sea
A tumble will begin
Its the world youre living in.

The boat will sign the bottom,
And I hit down the button,
Oh, I cant describe the stage you put me in.
Oh, yeah.

And Im so sorry,
Ive been known to hurry
And baby I hope that Im sorry
Cause tonight

[Tomahawk1505]

btw he says middle 8 of the man who swears

[foxeh123]

sounds like middle end or aid as well could b everything

[Tomahawk1505]

well, i suppose, not that it matters but, a middle 8 is the part of a song usually 8 bars in length hence the name, thats different from the rest of the song.

[foxeh123]

thats what i thought but wasnt that sure

I love the rhyming fail in LOJ

[Marijn116]

Love the way he plays Lovers in Japan, I think its better than the one on the album

[beaurain82]

goodbye and goodnite.... haha classic

[13kover]

@86Timewarp Other way around. They scrapped this melody, wrote the tune of MM, then scrapped these lyrics to create new ones that fit with the album's theme.

"There's a man who swears he's God" has the same number of syllables as "They got one eye watching you," so you can sing either as the chorus to Major Minus.

[shottydoyle]

@SionadeTV, it also sounds a lot like Talk. But i think it is also in some way related to Charlie Brown.

[SionadeTV]

@shottydoyle You mean "Talk" ?

[86Timewarp]

The Man Who Swears was originally Major Minus lmao wow

[venomvsspidey11]

@WOLFSUCKSIHATETHEM Im guessing you dont watch many of his live performances then
