Coldplay vs. Lady Gaga

Link: [Coldplay]


Viva La Vida
Coldplay
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 want to 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

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



Viva La Vida
Lady Gaga
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets that I used to roam

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 Chris
And I’ll be your Gwyneth
My missionaries
Hidin’ in foreign trenches
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 blonde head on a silver plate
Just a Gaga on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be queen

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my Chris
And I’ll be your Gwyneth
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

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my Chris
And I’ll be your Gwyneth
The fame won’t change us
If we don’t let it
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Mary won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Ruled the world
Ruled the world

  1. ...and I wonder why Saint Peter or Saint Mary won't call her name? Smiles! I do enjoy to follow her creative mind....and she can sing...and there are so many that speak poorly of her (we've all heard it) but I think secretly they wish they had dreamed up her idea of marketing, don't you think?!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Karen!!! Yeah, she is an event everywhere she goes, and in all fairness, she was just covering Coldplay's song. Nonetheless, the lyrics make me shutter.

  3. P.S.: I was just shown where the lyrics to this song are actually about Satan's situation--not Jesus', and that they are extremely true to the actual reality of his situation, as well! So, my feelings about the song have changed dramatically.

  4. Gaga is talented but she is just a little beyond me.

  5. Coldplay are suicide music and it is clear why she chooses the slapper route!

  7. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!! I am not quite sure just what the "slapper" route is, but I am fairly sure that I do not want to know. (LOL?)
