US AGAINST THE WORLD

This is the Coldplay concert I saw live from my bed in a B&B in Kent on the 9th July - the day after my 60th birthday.

And this is the song that made me decide I just HAD to get their new album.....


Oh morning 
Come bursting
The clouds amen
Lift off this blindfold, let me see again
And bring back the water that your ships rode in
In my heart she left a hole

The tightrope that I'm walking just sways and ties
The devil as he's talking with those angel's eyes
And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes
And the saints go marching in

And sing
Slow-owow-owow-owow-it down
Through chaos as it swirls 
It's just us against the world

Like a river to a raindrop 
I lost a friend
My drunken has a Daniel in a lion's den
And tonight I know it all has to begin again
So whatever you do, don't let go

And if we could float away
Fly up to the surface 
And just start again
And lift off before trouble just erodes us in the rain 
Just erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us, and see roses in the rain

Sing 
Slow-owow-owow-owow-it down 
Oh, slow-owow-owow-owow-it down

Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the world

Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the world
