Viva la Vida lyrics

22 12 2008

This is more than a song. This is an art.

Viva la Vida
by Colplay
album: Viva la Vida Or Death And All His Friends
composed by: Berryman, Guy Rupert; Buckland, Jonathan Mark; Champion, Will; Martin, Christopher A J

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





Viva la Vida and the new Coldplay

Coldplay's newest album

They say this new album from Coldplay is a bit experimental and a few degrees off from what they are more well known for. But I don’t care. I love this album for all its worth.

It’s single, Viva la Vida, is a dreamy song,  concocting medieval allusions and some vague political connotations in a creatively composed lyrics, making it sound interestingly philosophical without the burden of impressed urging. You don’t have to understand it, because you won’t, I didn’t, so perhaps the best thing to do is just listen to it. The chorus is catchy as ever, the music generally upbeat, and the entire experience remarkably literary.

because of you

1 06 2008

low (flo rida) is such a hit here in cdo that no day passes by without one hearing it booming fom the radio. it is this abusive song replay that turns it from a head-swaying music to an eardrum blasphemy. and it is in moments like this, when one gets extra sensitive to the sound cruise in ardent watch for the hated replay, that one is enthralled by a simple hour of the song’s absence. it is indeed such a pleasure that any other songs leaped up into one’s daily hit chart. in my case, a year of history made it even sweeter.

Want to but I can’t help it
I love the way you feel
just kinda stuck between my fantasy and what is real
I needed when I want it
I want it when I don’t
tell myself I stop every day
knowing that I won’t

I got a problem and I don’t know what to do about it
even If I did I don’t know If I would quit but I doubt it I’m
taking by the thought of it
And I know this much is true

[chorus]
baby you have become my addiction
I’m so strung out on you
I can barely move
but I like it
and it’s all because of you
all because of you
and it’s all because of you
all because of you
and it’s all because of you
all because of you
and it’s all because of you
never get enough
she’s the sweetest drugs
think of it every second
I can get nothing done
only concern is the next time I’m gon get me some
know I should stay away from
cause its no good for me
I try and try but my obsession wont let me leave

I got a problem and I don’t know what to do about it
even If I did I don’t know If I would quit but I doubt it I’m
taking by the thought of it
And I know this much is true

[chorus]
baby you have become my addiction
I am so strung out on you
I can barely move
but I like it
and it’s all because of you
all because of you
and it’s all because of you
all because of you
and it’s all because of you
all because of you
and it’s all because of you
never get enough
she is so sweet as drugs

ain’t no doubt
so strung out
ain’t no doubt
so strung out
over you
over you

because of you
and it’s all because of you
never get enough
she is so sweet as drugs





everything i own

16 07 2006

You sheltered me from harm.
You kept me warm
You kept me warm
And you gave my life to me
You set me free,
You set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you

I would give everything I own,
I’d give up my life, my heart, my home.
And I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.

You taught me how to laugh,
What a time
What a time
You never said too much,
But still you showed you cared,
And I knew from watching you.

And nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can’t let go.

I would give everything I own,
I’d give up my life, my heart, my home.
And I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.

Is there someone you know,
Loving them so,
You’re taking them all for granted.
You may lose them one day,
Someone takes them away,
And they don’t hear the words
You long to say

Give up my life, give up my heart
Everything I own [Repeat]

You know baby, my love for you will
always stay true. That’s right. ‘Cause
there is no me without you. (And I would give everything)
Everything I own Nobody can love you, love you
Love you, love you like I do

I would give everything I own,
I’d give up my life, my heart, my home.
And I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.

Just to have you back again.

Please Be Careful With My Heart
Jose Marie Chan

If you love me like you tell me please be careful with my heart
you can take it just don’t break it or my world will fall apart
you are my first romance and i’m willing to take a chance
that ’til life is through i’ll still be loving you
I will be true to you just a promise from you will do
from the very start please be careful with my heart

I love you and you know I do there’ll be no one else for me
promise i’ll be always true for the world and all to see
Love has heard some lies softly spoken
and I have had my heart badly broken
i’ve been burned and i’ve been hurt before

So I know just how you feel trust my love is real for you
i’ll be gentle with your heart i’ll caress it like the morning dew
i’ll be right beside you forever I won’t let your world fall apart
from the very start i’ll be careful with your heart

you are my first *and you are my last* romance
and i’m willing to take a chance *i’ve learned from the past*
that ’til life is through i’ll still be loving you
I will be true to you *only to you*
just a promise from you will do
from the very start *from the very start*
from the very start *from the very start*
from the very start please be careful with *i’ll be careful with* (*my your heart*)
