Coldplay - Major Minus Lyrics






They got one eye watching you
One on what you do
So be careful who it is you're talking to

They got one eye watching you
One on what you do
So be careful what it is you're tryin' to do

And be careful when you're walking into view
Just be careful when you're walking into view

Ooh-ooh-oooh
Ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on you

Ooh-ooh-oooh
Ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on…

They got one eye watching you
One on what you do
So be careful 'cause nothing they say is true

D-d-don't believe a word
It's just us against the world
And we just gotta turn up to be heard

Hear the crocodiles ticking 'round the world
Hear those crocodiles ticking, they go ticking 'round the world

Ooh-ooh-oooh
Ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on you

Ooh-ooh-oooh
Ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

Got one eye on the road and one

You could hear them climbing the stairs
I got my right side fighting
While my left hides under the chairs

Ooh-ooh-oooh
Ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on you

Ooh-ooh-oooh
Ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on you

  1. s.... g....

    Does this song talk about the Illuminatis?? 🤨🤔

  2. E.... A....

    This song on it's own is more than all Mylo singles put together

  3. E.... D....

    i swear the entire album of Mylo Xyloto is set up like a love story musical its amazing
    like all the songs put in order is like a musical

    E.... D....

    Because it is

    E.... D....

    @Maxumoto I found out like ten minutes after I posted this

  4. A.... S....

    ¡Referencias a 1984! 👁️

  5. P.... A....

    So nostalgic!! I miss this so much...

  6. M.... W....

    Awwwwwww. The last really great COLDPLAY.

  7. R.... ....

    Did anyone find something like this in Everyday Life? No. Mylo Xyloto is better than their latest album.

  8. R.... C....

    Foals vibes

  9. J.... G....

    COLDPLAY *-*

    This song sounded so happy until I realized the lyrics described a surveillance state

    A bit of background:
    Major Minus is the Head Silencer in the Mylo Xyloto Comics. He is waging a war on sound and color through his strict and scary dictatorship, sending demented "Silencer" police officers to take out the "Sparks", or the citizens with the power to spread color and sound throughout the country. When the song says, "Be careful when you're walking in the view" It's warning the people to be careful what they do in front of the scary silencers. Also when he says, "Crocodiles ticking round the world", he's referencing Peter Pan and the crocodile that ate Captain Hook's clock and starting ticking. Perhaps a way for the Sparks to spread sound? Anyway, that's my take. Chris Martin is a masterful songwriter.

  15. E.... ....

    The guitar at the start just gets me every time. So much nostalgia for me. I miss those days.

  16. c.... c....

    I wish the whole album had been more like this song. They're not really considered a rock band anymore. Which there's nothing wrong with the genre shift, but Coldplay is one of my top three bands almost completely because of their first three albums and b-sides. Like I said, as long as they're not being shitty people in general and they're making the music that makes them happy and that feels right to them it's okay. But imo, if the whole album had been more like this song and less poppy it would have been so much more adventurous and fun to me and I would've listened a whole lot more than I have. It happens with a lot of similar bands that I like too, which is fine, but it starts to get pretty disappointing after a while. Guess I'll just stick to my faves and explore other branches of the indie/rock genres. And keep this gem on my playlist.

  17. E.... R....

    For me, is this some kind of “breaking the rule” or “make me to think outside the box” or “stand for your own argument because you’re not wrong” lyric?

  18. W.... H....

    Illuminate

  19. W.... H....

    They're telling the truth u know

  20. h.... n....

    I Love Thais song Jesus christ

  21. B.... P....

    China, you looks like this.

  22. v.... ....

    I just didn't get it. Why did they leave this song? By far one of the best songs of them. Its powerful, energetic and got a stadium concert vibe. Just like GPTSUYF.

    I hope they remember this masterpiece, and give it what it deserve.

  23. A.... ....

    anyone in 2019?

  24. C.... M....

    💖💛💜💙❤✌

  25. E.... B....

    The last great Coldplay song

  26. G.... G....

    One of their best songs

  27. M.... R....

    Essa música foi a despedida do Coldplay como banda de rock 🙁

  52. J.... W....

    All in this song is Illuminati.
    The "M"`s in "Major Minus" (And the letter "a" of course) Are Illuminati
    Chris Is Illiminati
    Jonny is Illuminati
    Guy is Illuminati
    Will is Illiminati, too
    The letter of the song is illuminati
    Mylo Xyloto is Illuminati
    Coldplay is Illuminati
    That guitar solo is Illuminati
    Coldplay fans are Illuminati
    Guy is the most.
    All is illuminati
    This coment is illuminati.

    And be careful when you're walking in the view
    Just be careful when you're walking in the view

    Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

    Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    Got one eye on the road and one on

    They got one eye watching you

  68. F.... N....

    The bass in this song is incredible

  69. S.... B....

    awesome guitar man !!!

  70. M.... 1....

    choosing a favourite coldplay song is the hardest thing to do

  71. j.... ....

    i dont see why having a modern vibe in their songs is bad, it still makes for a good song

  72. K.... V....

    I've just noticed in this song, they made a reference to their other song "Us Against the World" and another reference in Life in Technicolor ii with "Now my Feet Won't Touch the Ground". Ingenious. This is a moment of gr8 realization.

    K.... V....

    Katie Vuong
    There's also a possible Violet Hill reference in Everglow. "So if you love someone, you should, let them know".

  73. J.... ....

    this is fucking incredible

  74. A.... V....

    When they say Mylo Xyloto has no rock music xD

  75. P.... F....

    02:38 moon moment !!!!!!

  76. T.... S....

    Like por Negrito, siempre en nuestros corazones =)
    Este comentario lo estás viendo cuando somos otra raza.

  77. D.... O....

    Does this instrumental somewhat remind anyone else of Bliss by Muse? And I'm not saying that this is a copy of it, just that it *reminds* me of it. . . I love this song, and I love Coldplay and I dare anyone else who likes this to listen to Bliss by Muse.😀

  78. T.... M....

    I found it. The best Coldplay song, and the most underrated, with the best guitar part. All in one.

  79. R.... ....

    I'm pretty sure The Edge secretly played the guitar on this song.... Hehehe !!!

  80. d.... s....

    KANGEN GUA !!

  81. A.... A....

    i am actually liking the lesser known songs of Coldplay more than their most popular
    tbh i got bored of the popular :3

  82. G.... ....

    people who think coldplay suck should listen to this song.

  83. 6.... ....

    1984 anyone?

  84. r.... ....

    I love driving down the highway with this song blasting.

  85. A.... V....

    When they say Coldplay isn't a rock band xD show em this xD

    A.... V....

    and the hidden tracks

    A.... V....

    Augustine Vega
    And Violet Hill, and Politik, and Whisper and most of X and Y.

    A.... V....

    And God Put A Smile Upon Your Face live

  86. A.... M....

    Y'all are wild. This song has some conspiracy themes, yeah, but it's not about Loominarty or reptile Obama or anything like that. It's part of the sort of story of the Mylo Xyloto album. Major Minus is the villain that's trying to suck out the sound and color off a planet.

  87. A.... V....

    One of their best songs actually but nobody knows it!

  88. G.... N....

    illuminati???

    G.... N....

    Amazing Day, what part of the song can you find the 666 lyrics.

    G.... N....

    Arjun Bali i dont know because i see the dislike is "666"

    G.... N....

    Amazing Day, Oh Oh Oh Oh.

    G.... N....

    Arjun Bali what?

    G.... N....

    No, read the Mylo Xyloto story. EVERY song in the album will make sense

  89. A.... A....

    now this is music

  90. F.... d....

    Ah yikes. I always find the best songs because of anime edits. *coughs* Haikyuu 👌

  91. E.... N....

    yeah! fuck the new world order!!! fuck you illuminati!

  92. A.... ....

    ColdPlay simplemente LOS MEJORES!!!!

  93. C.... B....

    Esta cancion me mata 😭❤

  94. I.... K....

    THAT'S YOUR PROPLEM, NOT MINE, I NEVER SAID WHAT PEOPLE WANT ME TO SAY AND ARE NOT SHOT DOWN TILL TODAY AND LIVE WELL!

  95. P.... B....

    Las traducciones al español vienen bien, incluso alguna entrvista

  96. J.... J....

    Rebecca Black brought me here :3

    J.... J....

    That's awesome. Why?

    J.... J....

    Rebecca made a video on her YouTube channel talking about some of her favorite "life-changing" songs, and this was one of them.

    J.... J....

    Wow that's cool. I can see why she said that, thank you

    J.... J....

    No problem. :)

    J.... J....

    Friday must have been one of them...

  97. T.... V....

    I love this music so much better than Paradise. Paradise is still good though

  98. E.... v....

    i love this song !! its very magic
