Just heard the following by Coldplay on the radio. And people say they're college boys! *** Oh, brother, I can’t, I can’t get through I’ve been trying hard to reach you Cause I don’t know what to do Oh, brother, I can’t believe it’s true I’m so scared about the future And I want to talk to you Oh, I want to talk to you You could take a picture of something you see In the future where will I be You could climb a ladder up to the sun Or write a song nobody had sung Or do something that’s never been done Are you lost or incomplete Do you feel like a puzzle You can’t find your missing piece Tell me how you feel Well, I feel like they’re talking in a language I don’t speak And they’re talking it to me So you take a picture of something you see In the future where will I be You could climb a ladder up to the sun Or write a song nobody had sung Or do something that’s never been done Or do something that’s never been done So you don’t know where you’re going And you want to talk And you feel like you’re going where you’ve been before You'll tell anyone who’ll listen but you feel ignored And nothing’s really making any sense at all Let’s talk, let’s talk Let’s talk, let’s talk *** For more of this poetic genius head over to http://www.alwaysontherun.net/coldplay.htm Are there any other worse bands, lyrically? Only one I can think of cam up with this Miltonian masterpiece: *** It's not worth anything, More than this at all. I'll live as I choose, Or I will not live at all. So return to where you come from, Return to where you dwell, Because harassment's not my forte, But you do it very well. I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide, And I'm not so suicidal after all. I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide, And I'm not so suicidal after all, At all, at all, at all. You must have nothing, More with your time to do. There's a war in Russia, And Sarajevo too. So to hell with what you're thinking, And to hell with your narrow mind, You're so distracted from the real thing, You should leave your life behind, behind. 'Cause I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide, And I'm not so suicidal after all, I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide, And I'm not so suicidal after all, At all, at all, at all. I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide, And I'm not so suicidal after all, At all, at all, at all. *** Collected works available at http://www.alwaysontherun.net/cranber.htm
