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 a 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 a 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 a 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

Please Bill, stop supporting this worldwide Coldplay hype! Play much less Coldplay, there is so much more great music from not so well known bands...

I heard Son Volt at "Home Depot"! WTF. I never would even of known who it was if it weren't for RP.

On the other hand, before the Porcupine Tree concert in Buffalo in May, I heard "Time Flies" on the jukebox at TGIFridays! But I think the hostess was just playing the audience for a better tip. And it worked!

Coldplay is one of those like/dislike bands. I am still on the fence with these guys. But I mostly dislike their music. Oh well, at least Bill followed this up with Wish You Were Here.

All is forgiven.

Joe Satriani ~taught~ Steve Vai how to play. They are friends as well as mentor/student. It was a Joe Satriani instrumental "If I Could Fly" that the Coldplay guitarist used whether he intended to or not.

To RedGuitar: Satriani & Coldplay have reached a settlement, however they chose not to make the details public.

maybe it's because the album isn't as horrendously crappy as you think it is. I liked this one. It's not stellar, but it's decent, and there are some inklings that the boys are finally finding their own style.

I don't understand these problems with the ego of the lead singer. The fact is, that if you're going to get up in front of tens of thousands of people and perform your work for them, 300 or more nights a year, for however many years, you need to have a big ego. One could argue that a "big ego" is a requirement for the job. Why then should we have so much trouble tolerating this ego in performers who give us pleasure? 

Besides, as far as frontmen go, I always thought Chris Martin has much less ego than most: if you've ever heard him in interviews, he's always quick to credit his, er, influences, and downplay his own talent. Much different than some of the performers he still idolizes.

Or are you trying to imply that the "us" you refer to are other listeners who comment on these pages in an attempt conjure up an imaginary majority of people who support your opinion?

I like some Coldplay songs, but they're not one of my favorites. Some of my husband's friends got us tickets so we went to see them last month. It was your typical big arena show. It reminded me of those old-style amusement park machines you put a quarter in and they do the same thing every time. Like robots. Zero connection with the audience (admittedly hard in a big arena, but I've seen it happen). Booooring. Might as well stay home and listen to a CD.

I'm so glad that we've past the stage where this was so overplayed on normal radio. Now we can enjoy it for the great song it is.

PS It would be interesting if all the hip Coldplay-haters would give us an objective reason for why they think this is so bad. Surely overplaying cannot change the inherent quality of a piece of music, just your reaction to it?

Saturday Night Live has turned into a goofy, weird parody of itself so Coldplay acting that way was probably appropriate.

I can take or leave Coldplay.  They put out some solid commercial product just like Bruce Springsteen (using what was played before them) and ELO (using what was played after).  All the indie angst here is amusing.

Saw these guys live a couple years ago—free tix from my bro. I must say it was an excellent show.

Then again I feel like we got lucky. When I see them performing live, sometimes Chris is really solid and inside the music, and sometimes he's flailing around like a maniac, yelping and laughing, with no idea of his place in the music or the band. Like for example their appearance on Saturday Night Live a few months ago. Anyone else ever notice that?

Dam it J!, where are they hiding that talent? It's gotta be there somewhere.Take them down to radiology and run some tests. A few X-Rays and an MRI scan should turn something up. If not, try an EKG and then an EEG. If that still doesn't pick up anything, try the electron microscope.

I thought the song was cute the first time or two I heard it.  Then it got to the point I wanted to hammer a nail into my head every time I heard it.  With all the wonderful music out there, I can't understand why this song got so highly rated by so many people.

Solid 2.

Why does this band get so much air play on such a great radio station?

This is like an AM station band. Can't detect an ounce of talent anywhere near these guys....

Did they get away with ripping off Joe Satriani in the end?

I agree on this song, but not the ratings of the band.  Let's see where the next couple of albums head off to

A very popular song in the amateur dance competition circuit this year.  My daughter dances, so I got to hear this tune at least a dozen times over the 2 days she competed in-town.  Not a bad tune, I guess, but I am suffering from overkill.  My daughter loves it though.
