42 lyrics

the number 42 is more than a number... its everywhere... and coldplay puts it out there pretty well

wait a minute what the heck? who the... is wannn?

lol thanks for correcting me greengecko. anywho the song is awesome and i can't wait to see coldplay in concert :)

Just been to see them last night. Best night out for decades. This song had such a profound meaning on the boss, she's going to base a tattoo on the first 2 lines.

And Cobaltshadow... ffs! 42 is the answer from HHGTTG, by Douglas Adams. Mind you, he was English, too even if he lived in California.

my favorite part is when he says "You didn't get to heaven but you oh oh oh oh" I love how the song starts out all mellow, then halfway through it gets faster and that just makes this song so awesome. Also they might be making a monty python reference, beause the song is called 42, and im pretty sure that whole "the meaning of life is 42" joke came from monty python, and the fact that coldplay and monty python are both british makes it a bit more likely that they would have done something like that than if they weren't both british. anyway it makes me think of that because this song is about life and death and almost getting to heaven and ghosts. not to say that this song is funny though.
