Life in Technicolour [instrumental]

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 [Oh].
Time is short
And I’m sure,
There must be something more…
Those who are dead,
Are not dead,
They’re just living in my head [Oh].
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…
Oh…
You thought you might be a ghost,
You thought you might be a ghost,
You didn’t get to heaven
But you made it close,
You didn’t get to heaven
But you made it close,
You thought you might be a ghost,
You thought you might be a ghost,
You didn’t get to heaven
But you made it close,
You didn’t get to heaven but you [Oh Oh...]
Oh, Oh
Those who are dead,
Are not dead,
They’re just living in my head.
Ooh…
LOST!
Just because I’m losing
Doesn’t mean I’m lost
Doesn’tmean I’ll stop
Doesn’t mean I would cross
Just because I’m hurting
Doesn’t mean I’m hurt
Doesn’t mean I didn’t get
What I deserved
No better and no worse
I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I’m…
Just waiting ’til 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
Ohhh and I’m…
Just waiting until the firing stopped
Ohhh and I’m…
Just waiting ’til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I’m…
Just waiting ’til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I’m…
Just waiting ’til the shine wears off
CEMETERIES OF LONDON
At night they would go walking
Til the breaking of the day
The morning’s for sleeping
Through the dark streets
They’d go searching
To see God in their own way
Save the nightime for your weeping
Your weeping…
Singing
la la lala la la ehh
And the night over London, lay
So we rode down to the river
Where the tombs were stone
For the curse is to be broken
We’ll go underneath the arches
Where the witches aren’t the same
There are ghost towns in the ocean
The ocean..
Singing
la la lala la la ehh
And the night over London, lay
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…
Singing
la la lala la la ehh
And the night over London, lay
Singing
la la lala la la ehh
There’s no light over London today
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
They are turning my head out
To see what I’m all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day, we are gonna get out
Tonight maybe we’re gonna run
Dreaming of the Osaka sun
Ohh ohh…
Dreaming of when the morning comes
They are turning my head out
To see what I’m all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day the sun will come out
Ooh…
REIGN OF LOVE
Reign of love
I can’t let go
To the sea I offer
This heavy load
Locusts will
Lift me up
I’m just a prisoner
In a reign of love
Locusts will
Let us stop
I wish I’d spoken
To the reign of love
Reign of love
By the church, we’re waiting
Reign of love
My knees go praying
How I wish
I’d spoken up
Or we’d be carried
In the reign of love.
YES
When it started we had high hopes
Now my back’s on the line
My back’s on the ropes
When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool of us
In the daylight
There we were dying of frustration
Saying Lord lead me not into temptation
But it’s not easy when she’s turns you on
Still stay gone
If you only
If you only say “Yes”
Whether you will is anybody’s guess
God only God knows I’m trying my best [or she
won't let me rest]
But I’m just so tired of this loneiness
I’ve become so tired of this loneliness
So, up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop then they let go
There’s only screaming
Let the windows down
As I crawl onto the ground
If you’ll only, if you’ll only say “Yes”
Whether you will’s anybody’s guess
God, only God knows she won’t let me rest
But I’m just so tired of this loneliness
I’ve become so tired of this loneliness
CHINESE SLEEP CHANT
Ooh...
Ooh...
Ah sleep
I need
Sleep satisfies
Sleep satisfies
Ah sleep
I need
Sleep satisfies
Sleep satisfies
Sleep
Sleep...[sleep]
[repeat]
Sleep satisfies
Sleep satisfies
Fall asleep
Fall asleep
Sleep mystifies
Sleep mystifies
Fall asleep
Fall asleep
Sleep satisfies
Sleep satisfies
Sleep
Sleep...[sleep]
[repeat]
Sleep satisfies
Sleep satisfies
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
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 work
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 work
But that was when I ruled the world
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh
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
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[to fade]
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’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?
[A SPELL A REBEL YELL] [B side]
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)
STRAWBERRY SWING
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
DEATH & 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
Oooh...
