Are you ready for a good laugh??
Ok, so I downloaded the piano music for Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" and sat down to play. It had great chords but would have sounded better with a cello playing along! Anyway, I decided to sing along and suddenly it hit me as I sat there looking at the correct lyrics - I had been singing nearly EVERY lyric completely wrong!
Here are the correct lyrics to the first part:
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
My words:
I used to rule the world
See the guy and yeah the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
See the streets I used to roam
Correct words:
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!"
My words:
I used to roll the rice
Feel the fear in my enemy size
Wicked in the crown a sing now
The oh king is dead long live the queen
Correct words:
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
My words:
One minute I held the key
The next door closed on me
And I discovered that my past is gone
And the pillow of sand, pillow of sand
Correct words:
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
That was when I ruled the world
My words:
I hear generations of bells are ringing
Rolling cattle of choirs and singing
Be my hero, my son and see oh,
A missionary’s on a far and field
For some reason I can’t explain
Once you go there was never, never in all this world
But that was when I ruled the world
Not even close!! Hahahaha!
LOL! you're a riot!
