At night they would go walking til the breaking of the day,
The morning is for sleeping
Through the dark streets they go searching to seek God in their own way,
Save the nighttime for your weeping
Your weeping [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/coldplay/cemeteries_of_london.html ]
Singing la lalalala la lé
And the night over London lay.
So we rode down to the river where the Victoria ghosts pray
for their curses to be broken
Wed go wandering neath the arches where the witches are and they say
There are ghost towns in the ocean
The ocean
Singing la lalalala la lé
And the night over London lay.
God is in the houses and God is in my head and all the cemeteries in London
I see God come in my garden, but I dont know what he said,
For my heart, it wasnt open
Not open
Singing la lalalala la lé
and the night over London lay.
Singing la lalalala la lé
There's no light over London today.
Well actually girlmj is wrong, if you go on coldplay's website, you'll see that the lyrics above are right, except that it's "victorians ghosts", and "to see god" not seek.
I love this song. It's so wonderful. It's like the darkness swirls around this song. Thank you girlmj for putting the correct lyrics on here. I appreciate it!
Jamfunct, your interpretations are so wrong. Omg! How can you get gunners from god? Lmao!! Gunners doesn't make sense to the rest of the song.
Anyways, there are quite a few mistakes on the lyrics for the song above, i just submitted what chris really is singing, hopefully the administration will change it. Here are the correct lyrics for the song:
At night they would go walking till the break in the day
the morning is for sleeping
through the dark streets they'd go searching to see god in their own way
save the nighttime for your weeping
your weeping
Singing la.. Y
and the night over london lay
So we rode down to the river where the toiling ghosts spring
for their curses to be broken
we'll go underneath the arches where the witches are in the sea
there are ghost towns in the ocean
the ocean
Singing la.. Y
and the night over london rain
God is in the houses, and god is in my head
and all the cemeteries in 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.. Y
and the night over london lay
singing la.. Y
there's no light over london today
So we rode down to the river where victoria ghosts pray
for their curses to be broken
we'd go wandering 'neath the arches where the witches are and they say
there are ghost towns in the ocean
the ocean
