Coldplay - Clocks

The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead singing

Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head
And a trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed singing

You are
You are

Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know singing

Come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure?
Or am I part of the disease? Singing

You are
You are
You are
You are

You are
You are

And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

You are
You are

Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go

Coldplay bring fireworks and lasers for their third Glastonbury headline slot

Coldplay brought a spectacular firework and laser show to Glastonbury tonight (June 25) as they played their third headline set at the festival.

Arriving onstage to the theme from Back To The Future, the band, who headlined the event in 2002 and 2005, opened their set with new song 'Hurts Like Heaven' after a spectacular firework display. They then played a career-spanning set, with material aired from each of their four studio albums, including 'Everything's Not Lost', which the band haven't played live for a number of years.

They played four new songs plus recent single 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall', which they ended their set with amid a laser show that lit the Pyramid Stage up in DayGlo colours.

Introducing new song 'Major Minus', Chris Martin asked the crowd to forgive them for playing new material, joking: "Please forgive us for playing new songs, one day they'll be your favourites, but now it's OK to be thinking, 'What the fuck?'"

The band were forced to halt and restart new tune 'Us Against The World' after Martin missed a cue, quipping: "Forget that fuck-up just happened. This is an open rehearsal. Let's forget this is a festival and we're supposed to be professional headliners."

Before 'Fix You' the singer performed his own version of Louis Armstrong's 'What A Wonderful World', with lyrics rewritten to fit Glastonbury's muddy conditions. He also thanked Michael and Emily Eavis during the song and told the crowd: "Glastonbury is the best place to play in the whole world."

Coldplay played:

'Hurts Like Heaven'
'Yellow'
'In My Place'
'Major Minus'
'Lost!'
'The Scientist'
'Shiver'
'Violet Hill'
'God Put A Smile Upon Your Face'
'Everything's Not Lost'
'Us Against The World'
'Politik'
'Viva La Vida'
'Charlie Brown'
'Life Is For Living'
'Clocks'
'What A Wonderful World'
'Fix You'
'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall'

Coldplay to release new single 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' on Saturday (June 4)

Coldplay have announced they are to release a brand new single 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' this Saturday (June 4). The single marks their first new material in over two years.

The band revealed the news on their official website Coldplay.com this morning (May 31) and have said they will be streaming the new track from Friday (June 3). They have also put up the single's lyrics and artwork.

The announcement ends a week in which the band have posted two cryptic updates, which are now revealed to have been lyrics from the new single.

Drummer Will Campion has also posted a message, which reads: "We're about to play a bunch of summer festivals so it's as good a time as any to put out a new song. 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' will be available digitally on Friday 3rd June at 12pm (BST), except in the UK where it'll come out on the stroke of midnight between Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June. We'll also stream it here on Friday and give it a run out at Rock Im Park."

The Rock Im Park festival takes place this weekend in Nuremberg, Germany, with Coldplay headlining the Saturday night (June 4).

The band have not said whether 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' will feature on their forthcoming fifth studio album.

Coldplay - The Scientist

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I've set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on the science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Oh tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I’m going back to the start
