Musicbrainz DBYou said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down
I'm gonna put it six feet underground
You said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall
Stand here beside me, baby, in the crumbling walls
Oh, I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
And do back the things it did to you in return
You said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
Oh, and I'm gonna buy this place is what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Honey, all the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I've made
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They say start as you mean to go on
Start as you mean to go on
Said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
Stand here beside me, baby, watch the orange glow
Some'll laugh and some just sit and cry
You just sit down there and you wonder why
So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
And I'm gonna buy this place is what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Oh, to the head
Honey, all the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I've made
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They say start as you need to go on
As you mean to go on
As you mean to go on
So meet me by the bridge
Meet me by the lane
When am I gonna see that pretty face again?
Oh, meet me on the road
Meet me where I said
Blame it all upon a rush of blood to the head

| Dalebarely | Posted: Jun 25, 2009 - 13:14 the original is a really good song, but this is one of the most pointless recorded live versions I've ever heard of any song, ever |

| F1 (Pacific NW...gotta get back to Chicago) | Posted: Oct 15, 2008 - 16:07 Crikey!! That's the most lethargic live song I've heard in ages. |

How sad, to hate something just because it is popular. Almost as pathetic as liking something because it is popular. Or even more so. Things become popular for a reason. Sometimes that reason is even quality. That is the case with much of the great "classic rock" that gets slammed here because "Clear Channel plays it." That might well be the case with Coldplay. . . . |

i don't hate it because it's popular. i hate it because it's boring. sounds like bob seger's "turn the page" with a guitar lick stolen from 1993 radiohead. snore. |

| songbirdfemme (syracuse ny) | Posted: Apr 09, 2008 - 08:29 At least they are successful in generating strong reactions! I personally find it enjoyable enough. I don't own any but its not horrible... |

Just what I was thinking. |
| Trustocity (Boston, baby) | Posted: Mar 18, 2005 - 07:02 I love the original so much. This version tests my patience for several reasons, all of them amounting to lesser quality in comparison. And of cource, that makes me mad I'm not hearing the original. Which I am. Mad, that is. |
| trekhead | Posted: Mar 18, 2005 - 07:00 Two 10's. EMS-RCD, and CP- AROBTTH! |
| jberko (Franklin, TN) | Posted: Mar 18, 2005 - 06:58 These guys write sleepy, dreamy music. I think next to Bryan Ferry, these guys own the genre. Great stuff. |
| jstevep00 (Lancaster, PA) | Posted: Mar 03, 2005 - 13:14 Geez, why so much raggin on Coldplay? First, there have been a ton of great bands that have been huge commercial radio successes. Anyone heard of The Who? Led Zeppelin? REM? U2? Getting airplay on Clear Channel doesn't mean you suck. Even the general public gets it right sometimes. Second, there have been a ton of great bands that have had cryptic or plinky lyrics. REM again? Led Zeppelin again? Nirvana? Oh, and I like this live version. The intro guitar is pretty cool, very mood-setting. |

| Gish05 | Posted: Jan 03, 2005 - 14:29 One of the few Coldplay songs I still like. For some reason, even though I have both of their albums and have seen them live (amazing show), Coldplay just bores me. Their material does not age well for some reason, and I don't know why. |
