"Viva La Vida"

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen as the crowd would sing

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

Once you go there was never

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh, who would ever wanna be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

 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

And dreamed of para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Every time she closed her eyes

Ohoohoooh

When she was just a girl

She expected the world

But it flew away from het reach

And the bullets catch in her teeth

Life goes on, gets so heavy

The wheel breaks the butterfly

Every tear a waterfall

In the night, the stormy night,

She’d close her eyes

In the night, the stormy night,

Away she’d fly

And dreams of para- para- paradise

Para- para-paradise

Para- para-paradise

Ohoohoooh

She dreams of para- para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Ohoohoooh-ohoh

Lalalalalalala

So lying underneath the stormy skies

She’d say, ohoohoooh,

I know the sun will set to rise

This could be para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Could be para- para- paradise

Ohoohoooh

This could be para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Could be para- para- paradise

Ohoohoooh-ohoh

This could be para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Could be para- para- paradise

Ohoohoooh

But that was when I ruled the world

       Fix You

When you try your best but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
But if you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
