Speed Of Sound

How long before I get in

Before it stops before I begin

How long before you decide or

Before I know what it feels like

Where to, where do I go?

If you never try then you'll never know

How long do I have to climb

Up on the side of this mountain of mine


Look up, I look up at night

Planets are moving at the speed of light,  

Climb up, up in the trees

Every chance that you get is a chance you seize

How long am I gonna stand

With my head stuck under the sand

I'll start before I can stop or 

Before I see things the right way up


All that noise and all that sound

All those places I got found

And birds go flying at the speed of sound

To show you how it all began

Birds came flying from the underground

If you could see it then you'd understand


Ideas that you'll never find

All the inventors could never design

The buildings that you put up

Japan and China all lit up

The sign that I couldn't read

or a light, that I couldn't see

Some things you have to believe

While others are puzzles, puzzling me


All that noise and all that sound

All those places I got found

And birds go flying at the speed of sound

To show you how it all began

Birds came flying from the underground

If you could see it then you'd understand

Oh, when you see it then you'll understand



All those signs I knew what they meant,

 some things you can invent

Some get made and some get sent ooh


And birds go flying at the speed of sound

To show you how it all began

Birds came flying from the underground

If you could see it then you'd understand

Oh, when you see it then you'll understand

Viva La Vida


Viva La Vida

Coldplay

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 are ringing 

Roman Calvary 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

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 are ringing 

Roman Calvary 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


(Ooooh Oooh Oooh)


Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Calvary 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 will call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world
