Coldplay - The Man Who Swears Lyrics






There's a man who swears he's God
But I'm pretty sure he's not
There's a man who walks around
Like he owns the fucking lot

There's a man who takes his time
From the hands of a cuckoo clock
You can hear him walk around
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

At first, it was easy
But now why's it have to be so hard?
Heaven is a fire escape
You try to cling to in the dark

At first it was simple
But now it got too complicated
But the world just got a lovely time
Or blame it all on my mistake

Maybe I'll find heaven
One day, after dark
Maybe you'll find heaven is a place to part?

[?]
We are doing everything we can
We still can't seem to switch it on
[?]
I am floating up beneath the clouds
[?]

  11. H.... A....

  13. �.... T....

    1:45 Mr Martin mind your language

  14. J.... C....

    Man how did I get here? Not mad it though. I'm just not a fan of cursing in their music. I know he curses quite a bit but I like how they keep it separate from most of their recorded stuff.

    J.... C....

    its called swearing mate

  15. C.... C....

    If you want to listen to this without mistakes, i made an edited version of this song. I dont want a sub just so people can listen to it completely and right!

  16. P.... O....

    1:47 c:

  17. C.... ....

    The man who swear a lot: Chris Martin

  18. I.... l....

    Actually it was never released. I do believe there is a live recording on YouTube though.

  19. F.... a....

    I thought the video ended abruptly then I hear "oh shit, I forgot the middle-" I was too busy laughing to hear the rest

  20. c.... g....

    yes chicken head!

  21. c.... g....

    LOST it!

  22. B.... W....

    You don't understand how humorous I found this.

  23. B.... W....

    That's right!! I think I heard that after I'd heard this one, to be fair. :)

  24. B.... W....

    In their live versions, sure; but not the album versions!

  25. d.... ....

    I think she just likes that lyric...

  26. h.... ....

    The beginning is about Kanye West

  27. D.... ....

    Actually, you will, in some of the live versions.

    D.... ....

    A couple of live songs from MX 2012 and AHFOD Live are marked as E on Spotify because he says "fucking"

    D.... ....

    @Thais Pujol Ortíz funny enough, Chris only says "Fuck". He never uses any other cuss word, I've never seen him.

  28. C.... ....

    "Idiot" has cursing in it. It's one of their old B-sides I believe. (2001)

  29. B.... C....

    Doodle-a-do-do!

  30. G.... ....

    Oh shit, i forgot the misdh lsdjfhlds lsdjkahfklsfd eyaugfiywegfjh

    G.... ....

    GabZonY I'm just CRYING at your comment

  31. Z.... S....

    Cuss in a song before

  32. Z.... S....

    I've never heard coldplay

  33. c.... g....

    cant say mars is my fave

  34. c.... g....

    i love it if u listen ignore the winey parts he sings about mistakes what is this song so sweet he sounds like i am floating between the clouds

  35. C.... S....

    Good one !!!

  36. M.... P....

    La grosería de Chris *w*

  37. D.... B....

    Chris Martin's father wouldnt let it... hahahaha, and I mean it

  38. M.... L....

    This would have been excellent as a super-hidden track on Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends...

    Maybe an hour after it finishes, though :D

  39. �.... �....

    I love them even when they make mistakes!!! XD

  40. M.... W....

    Lol yeah this surprised me haha. They keep their music very rated G which is a breath of fresh air compared to all the other bands that drop an F bomb every 3 seconds, it ruins the song.

  41. S.... ....

    This was really good... Y U NO PUT ON ALBUM?!?!

  42. J.... F....

    @ageshero if you listen to some interviews or live concerts you will see he actually swears a lot XD

  43. J.... T....

    Lol You dont hear him swear to often do you. Amazing sound of the song though.

  44. A.... F....

    @Rymoucha95 oh! sorry! my bad :)

  45. i.... ....

    it sounds like radiohead in the beginning..i like it!

  46. A.... F....

    @Rymoucha95 Dont worry man, Coldplay is still there, alls changed is the songs feel, their spirit is still pretty much the same :)

  47. A.... ....

    what!? where were you hidden song?

  48. D.... T....

    is there an album or something? I need it!! hehe :)

  49. R.... ....

    omg... why did i find out about this soolate.. all these demo's are so fucking good.

  50. L.... ....

    1:44 lol 'oh shit'

  51. o.... ....

    FUN FACT: This song somehow became Major Minus in the end.

  52. B.... W....

    @DarkHunter173 Very true: when I saw them, he was like "Portland and Ridgefield people make a fuckofalotofnoice" and then he just laughed.. xD

  53. B.... W....

    I love it: he's the man who walks around, like he owns the fucking lot...
    xD
    Yeah, I doubt this would ever have made it on a coldplay CD... go listen to every single one of their songs on any EP, CD, LP, Single, etc... you won't find a single curse word xD

  54. t.... ....

    lol i did not expect that xD ... very nice imo

  55. G.... w....

    @jpnsage VERY SLIGHTLY

  56. L.... A....

    of the few times Chris swears in a song, awsome

  57. d.... ....

    @jpnsage They probably abandoned this song and recycled parts for Moving to Mars, similar to parts of Wedding Bells that can be heard in Christmas Lights

  58. K.... B....

    @CoN0R115 He swears at, like, every concert, haha. This sounds great, though.

  59. F.... F....

    pretty cool hearing Chris swear, lol

  60. b.... ....

    Nice I love it<3<3
