Clocks lyrics

 Lights go out and I can't be saved

 Tides that I tried to swim against

 Have put me down upon my knees

 Oh I beg, I beg and please singing

Come out of things unsaid

 Shoot an apple off my head

 Trouble that cant be named

 Tigers 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 the tune I 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

Paradise

When she was just a girl

She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep
Dreamed of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catching the tees
Life goes on it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In a night, the stormy night she closed her eyes
In a night, the stormy night away she flies
Dream of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise

She dreamed of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise

So lying underneath the stormy skies
She said oh, I know the sun's set to rise
It's gonna be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise

It's gonna be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise

This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall (often referred to as ETIAW), is the first track to be announced as part of Coldplay's fifth album era but is not known whether it is expected to be included on the fifth Coldplay album, due for release in 2011.

It has emerged that Chris Martin collaborated with I Go To Rio tunesmiths Peter Allen and Adrienne Anderson - whose original song was sampled on the dance track.

 The duo have a writing credit on Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall and Coldplay wrote on their website: "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall contains elements of I Go To Rio written by Peter Allen and Adrienne Anderson."

 "Chris was inspired to write the song after watching the film Biutiful by Alejandro Gonzalez. In the film, there is a nightclub scene - during which a track is playing in the background, based on I Go To Rio by Peter Allen and Adrienne Anderson. As a result, Allen and Anderson are also credited as writers on Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall.

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall was made available digitally at 12pm (BST) on Friday 3rd June, except in the UK where it was released at midnight on June 4th.

 A statement on Coldplay's official site read: Dear friends, 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. Love Will.

The announcement follows a number of teaser clues posted on the band's Twitter and Facebook pages.

Coldplay was Saturday at Pinkpop.

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

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

And all the kids they dance all the kids all night

Until Monday morning feels another life

I turn the music up

I'm on a roll this time

And heaven is in sight

I turn the music up I got my records on

From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song

Don't want to see another generation drop

I'd rather be a comma than a full stop

 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

And we saw oh this light I swear you emerge blinking into

To tell me it's alright

As we soar walls every siren is a symphony

And every tear's a waterfall

Is a waterfall

Oh

Is a waterfall

Oh oh oh

Is a is a waterfall

Every tear

Is a waterfall

Oh oh oh

So you can hurt hurt me bad

But still I'll raise the flag

Oh

It was a wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall

A wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall

Every tear

Every tear

Every teardrop is a waterfall

Every tear

Every tear

Every teardrop is a waterfall
