(2008 / Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends)

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...

DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS

All winter
We got carried
Or way over on the rooftops just get merry
All summer we just hurry
So come over just be patient and don't worry
So come over just be patient and don't worry

So come over just be patient and don't worry
So come over just be patient and don't worry

So come over just be patient and don't worry

And don't worry...

Try
Try
Try

No I don't want to battle from the year to end
I don't want to cycle and recycle revenge
I don't want to follow death and all of his friends...

 THE ESCAPIST

And in the end
We lie awake
And we dream
We'll make an escape

And in the end
We lie awake
And we dream
We'll make an escape

Ooh...

(2008 / Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends)

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 just curve away
And it's such
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day

Ah...

Now the sky could be blue
I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time
Would be blue
I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time

Well the sky could be blue
Could be grey
Without you I'm just miles away

Well, the sky could be blue
I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time

(2008 / Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends) (B-Side of Violet Hill single)

As far as i can see
All time and circutry
Is wrong (it's all)

As far as poetry
Sit down and sing to me
A song
It's all I want in this world
All I want in this world
Is for you to come home

A Spell
A Rebel Yell
A Spell

Soldier come home to me (so why won't you
come home to me)
You've been away from me
For so long (so...)
All I want in this world
All I want and deserve (all i want in this world)
Is for you to come home

A Spell
A Rebel Yell (x4)

Oh oh oh oh

A Spell
A Rebel Yell (x4-5)

(2008 / Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends)

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
My Love is opposed when unfold

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

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?
