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

我不可自拔地爱上你 你该明了 我以深深爱上你 整颗心早已游向你 整歌人想急着飞奔到你面前 却又止步 不知如何靠近你 哦！这是多么艰难的一件事 因为你事如此胆怯小心

— coldplay 《Yellow》

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field

— coldplay 《Viva La Vida》

I used to rule the world，大千世界曾由我主宰，Seas would rise when I gave the word，巨浪也曾因我之命澎湃，Now in the morning I sleep alone，而今我却在黎明独自入眠，Sweep the streets I used to own，在曾属于我的大道落寞徘徊，I used to roll the dice，大千世界曾由我主宰，Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes，尽情品味惊恐在死敌瞳孔绽开，Listened as the crowd would sing:，欣然倾听百姓高歌喝彩
