Parachutes (2000)

her i am and i take my time
here i am and i wait in line
always..
always..

• Don't Panic

Bones, sinking like stones

All that we fought for

Homes, places we've grown

All of us are done for


And we live in a beautiful world

Yeah we do, yeah we do

We live in a beautiful world

• Shiver

But on and on, from the moment I wake

'Till the moment I sleep

I'll be there by your side

Just you try and stop me

I'll be waiting in line

Just to see if you care, if you care


Oh, did you want me to change?

Well I changed for good

And I want you to know

That you'll always get your way

I wanted to say


Don't you shiver

Don't you shiver

I sing it loud and clear

I'll always be waiting for you

• Spies

I awake to see that no one is free

We're all fugitives

Look at the way we live

Down here, I cannot sleep from fear, no

I said, which way do I turn

Oh, I forget everything I learn


That the spies came out of the water

But you're feeling so bad cause you know

Though spies hide out in every corner

But you can't touch them, no

'Cause they're all spies

• Sparks

Did I drive you away?

I know what you’ll say

You say, “Oh, sing one we know,”

But I promise you this

I’ll always look out for you

That’s what I’ll do.

• Yellow

Your skin

Oh yeah your skin and bones

Turn into something beautiful

You know, you know I love you so

You know I love you so


I swam across

I jumped across for you

Oh what a thing to do

Cause you were all yellow

• Trouble

Oh no, I see

A spider web is tangled up with me

And I lost my head

The thought of all the stupid things I said


Oh no what's this?

A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,

So I turned to run

The thought of all the stupid things I've done


I never meant to cause you trouble

And I never meant to do you wrong

And I, well if I ever caused you trouble

Oh no, I never meant to do you harm

A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002)

oh im gonna buy this place and see it burn
took back the things it did to you
in return
oh.oh.oh
he said im gonna buy a gun and start a war..♪♫

• Politik

Give me one, 'cause one is best

In confusion, confidence

Give me peace of mind and trust

Don't forget the rest of us

Give me strength, reserve control

Give me heart and give me soul

Wounds that heal and cracks that fix

Tell me your own politik

Sing it please, please, please

Come back and sing to me

To me, me

• In My Place

Come on and sing it out, now, now

Come on and sing it out

To me, me

Come back and sing

In my place, in my place

Were lines that I couldn't change

I was lost, oh yeah

Oh yeah

• God Put a Smile upon Your Face

Where do we go, nobody knows

I've got to say I'm on my way down

God give me style and give me grace

God put a smile upon my face


Where do we go to draw the line

I've got to say I wasted all your time

Oh honey honey

Where do I go to fall from grace

God put a smile upon your face yeah

• The Scientist

I had to find you

Tell you I need you

Tell you I set you apart


Tell me your secrets

And ask me your questions

Oh let's go back to the start


Running in circles

Coming up tails

Heads on a silence 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

• Clocks

The lights go out and I can't be saved

Tides that I tried to swim against

Have brought me down upon my knees

Oh, I beg, I beg and plead

• Green Eyes

Honey you are a rock

Upon which I stand

And I come here to talk

I hope you understand

• Warning Sign

A warning sign

You came back to haunt me and I realised

That you were an island and I passed you by

When you were an island to discover


Come on in

I've got to tell you what a state I'm in

I've got to tell you in my loudest tones

That I started looking for a warning sign

• A Whisper

I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks

Who remembers your face

Who remember you when 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

• A Rush of Blood to the Head

He said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war

If you can tell me something worth fighting for

Oh and I'm gonna buy this place that's what I said

Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head


Honey, all the movements you're starting to make

See me crumble and fall on my face

And I know the mistakes that I made

See it all disappear without a trace

And they call as they beckon you on

They said start as you mean to go on

Start as you mean to go on

• Amsterdam

Come on, oh my star is fading

And I swerve out of control

If I, if I'd only waited

I'd not be stuck here in this hole


Come here, oh my star is fading

And I swerve out of control

And I swear I waited and waited

I've got to get out of this hole

Live 2003 (2003)

"if the sky's gonna fall down let it fall on me..."

• Moses Live 2003

"If the soup is not piping hot, I can't eat it"

• Soup Live 2003

X&Y (2005)

"Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you"

• Fix You X&Y (2005)

"Are you lost or incomplete?

Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?

Tell me how do you feel?

Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak

And they're talking it to me."

• Talk X&Y (2005)

Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2006–present)

• Cemeteries of London

God is in the houses

And God is in my head

And all the cemeteries 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

• Lost!

Just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'm lost

Doesn't mean I'll stop

Doesn't mean I'm across

• 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


Time is so short and I’m sure

There must be something more

• 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

• 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

Listened 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

Missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

Once you'd gone there was never

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world

• 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 architectured

By a carnival of idiots on show

You better lie low


If you love me

Won't you let me know?

• Strawberry Swing

People moving all the time

Inside a perfectly straight line

Don't you wanna just curve away?

When 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 sky

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

• Death And All 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 (Hidden Track)

And in the end

We lie awake

And we dream

We'll make an escape
