Coldplay’s collaboration with Rihanna that I blogged about earlier here was leaked online today and I couldn’t resist listening. Like a hundred times. The melody has been in my head all day. I love it. Absolutely love it.
Started a rock group with a funky name
“Oh hello. Come to our show.”
Once upon a time you fell in love
You’re holding in your hands
And just can’t get enough
A single oh
It’s called “Yellow”
Once upon a time the “Clocks” burned bright
The crowds swelled and felt so right
On and on and on and on and on
Once upon a time all “In My Place”
You had to just go shove it in my face
Some “X & Y”
Please tell me why oh why?
I need some of that old Coldplay
I could’ve been a groupie, you’d be my band
Could have had big hits I’d understand
But no oh oh
You got Brian Eno
Could have had safe songs, that’s the plan
But no oh oh
None sound like “Yellow”
Where’s my “Sparks”?
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
You break my heart
La la lal la la la la
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
It’s not “Yellow”
Oh oh oh oh oh your new single
Is not “Yellow”
And it really hurts me
And it really hurts me
Can’t you really see?
I just want some “High Speed”
Didn’t you once say?
That “We Never Change”?
This really hurts me
Coldplay can’t you see?
I actually would have preferred your version…
