The Wanted - Coldplay Medley

Viva La Vida

(Siva)
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

(Tom)
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

(Max & Tom)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

(Jay)
It was a 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

(Nathan)
Revolutionariests wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

(Max & Tom)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing (ooooooo)
Roman cavalry choirs are singing (ooooooo)
Be my mirror, my sword and shield (oooooo)
My missionaries in a foreign field (oooooo)
For some reason I can't explain (ooooooo)
I know St Peter won't call my name (ooooooo)
Never an honest word (ooooooo)
But that was when I ruled the world

Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall

(Jay)
I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song

(Tom & Jay & Siva)
Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart

(Max)
And we saw oh this light
(Nathan)
I swear you, emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright
(Max)
As we soar walls
(Nathan)
every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall

(All)
Is a waterfall
ahhhh
Is a waterfall
ahhhhhhh
Is a waterfall
A waterfall
A waterfall
A waterfall

Paradise

(Max)
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach,
so she runaway in her sleep
And dreamed of
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise
Every time she close her eyes

(Jay)
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth

(Nathan)
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night
(Nathan & Jay)
She'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away
(Nathan & Jay)
She'd fly

(Siva)
And dreams of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
(Siva & Jay)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
(Siva)
She'd dream of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
(Siva & Jay)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh

Fix You

(Tom)
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

(Siva)
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

(Max)
Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

(Tom & Nathan)
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I

(Nathan)
Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
