[rainplay]

I would help, cause I usually am not too bad at finding the lyrics, but I don't want to listen to UIF too much!

[juanif94]

^Haha, that's ok! I listened to it like 8 times already and it makes me want to listen it again! :P

[IneedYou23]

So its over
This time I know its gone
So over
You tasted it too long

thats all I can make out.

[CartoonHeart42]

So it's over
This time I know it's gone
Salt water
You tasted it too long
I'm comin' home, I know
A wasted start (?)


Best I could do for the first verse.

[jc90]

So it's over
This time I know it's gone
Salt water
You tasted it too long
I put it on
Once it starts

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowed way down

So it's over
As time flyin' on
This time I know your song
Stop and slowed way down
Stop and slowed way down

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowed way down
Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowed way down
Oh, we have slowed way down

Can we pour some water on...?

[the_escapist]

lyrics are not so good.

[jc90]

You mean my interpretation or their writing?

[the_escapist]

You mean my interpretation or their writing?

Their writing, obviously.

[jc90]

Their writing, obviously.

not obvious since I expected I had made mistakes in deciphering

[foxeh]

So it's over,
This time I know it's gone,
It's all over...,
You tasted it too long,
pour it on, (?)
Once it starts...

Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
We have slowed it down...

So it's over,
It's time flying on,
This time I know your song/son,
Stop and slow it down,
Stop and slow it down...

Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
We have slowed it down...,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Oh...slow it down,
Oh, slow it down..

Could we pour some water on?

[Cleggy]

We need a higher quality recording to get the lyrics. The only part that's obvious is the 'Up in flames' part.

Well, i might be wrong but i think my Lyrics are 85% right.

[86Timewarp]

Well, i might be wrong but i think my Lyrics are 85% right.

They are :D And it's song not son...how do you slow a boy down? :lol:

[foxeh]

They are :D And it's song not son...how do you slow a boy down? :lol:

I think they are referring "slow down" to the "up in flames" they slow the Flames down with water.

[86Timewarp]

very true!

[Clark]

It really is a very simple song isn't it!
Nice though.
hope we get a decent live version later...

[Prospector]

I won't listen to it until 24 october, but I'm not too happy with those lyrics....

[Samuel_94]

It is bloody amazing. Gonna be one of the highlights of the album!!!!!!!

[the_escapist]

I won't listen to it until 24 october, but I'm not too happy with those lyrics....

THIS!!!

[Samuel_94]

I am sorry but I wish people would stop criticising their lyrics!!!!!!!!

[Major_Love]

Don't think that we can seriously consider the lyrics. We have to see them in context with the song and with the storyline behind.

Yes, I think you're right, it's a concept album so let's wait.

[juanif94]

It would be nice then to create a thread when the album comes out and put all the lyrics of the songs together so we can read the story ;)

[S.@.m.]

can we pour some water on? :bigcry:

[Stv]

I think they are referring "slow down" to the "up in flames" they slow the Flames down with water.

us against the world reference:

slooooooooooooooow it down

[jgk]

So it's over
This time I know it's gone
Salt water
You tasted it too long
I put it on
Once it starts

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowed way down

So it's over
As time flyin' on
This time I know your song
Stop and slowed way down
Stop and slowed way down

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowed way down
Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowed way down
Oh, we have slowed way down

Can we pour some water on...?




Could this verse be something like this:

So it's over
As time flyin on
This time I know no song
Can stop its slowly burn
Can stop its slowly burn

Just what I hear when I listen, I know if this is correct "slowly" doesn't really fit and should just be "slow" but it really sounds like it is what he says if you listen to this recording...Up in Flames Coldplay - Live Debut 09/15/2011 ACL Taping - YouTube

I think i already figured the Lyrics out.

So it's over,
This time I know it's gone,
It's all over...,
You tasted it too long,
pour it on, (?)
Once it starts...

Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
We have slowed it down...

So it's over,
It's time flying on,
This time I know your song/son,
Stop and slow it down,
Stop and slow it down...

Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
We have slowed it down...,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Oh...slow it down,
Oh, slow it down..

Could we pour some water on?

[jgk]

I am actually thinking that the verse could be like this:

So it's over
As time flyin' on
This time I know no song
Can stop its lonely burn
Can stop its lonely burn


The "can" is really subtle. Let me know what you all think.

[Zj23]

The last lyric sounds like "You're impossible to love."

Edit: Nvm, i hear pour some water on now. :P

[Reborn]

I think this could be the second verse:

So it's over
It's time to flying on
This time I know no song
Can stop it slowing down
Can stop it slowing down

[jgk]

I think this could be the second verse:

So it's over
It's time to flying on
This time I know no song
Can stop it slowing down
Can stop it slowing down

If you listen closely you can hear that he says burn, not down. Also I feel like everyone thinks these lyrics are so bad because everyone has them wrong on here, making them not really make any sense.

[greenjelly13]

This is what i hear the lyrics as, not saying they're correct folks!!!

So it's over,
This time I know it's gone,
Salt water there,
You tasted it to long.
Only know i'm wrong,
Once it stung.

Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
We have slowly died.

So it's over,
It's time flying on,
This time I know no song,
Can stop it slowly burn,
Can stop it slowly burn.

Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
We have slowly died,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
We have slowly died,
We have slowly died.

Can we pour some oil around...

and here is a complimentary smiley :)

We have slowly died.

I really agree with you that he might say "slowly died" and not "slowed down" or "slowed way down." I have thought it was probably "died" since the first time i heard it, glad someone else hears it too. In the second verse after "This time I know no song" I still really feel like it is "Can stop it's lonely burn.....Can stop it's lonely burn." It sounds right to me, plus it seems to be the only thing that makes sense.

[nathondetroit]

This what I've been hearing:

So it's over, this time I know it's gone
Salt water, you've tasted it too long
Would you know why I'm wrong
Once it stung

Up in Flames, Up in Flames
Up in Flames

We have slowly burned

So it's over, this time we're fly'n on
This time I know no song
can stop it slowly burn
can stop it slowly burn

Up in Flames, Up in Flames
Up in Flames

We have slowly burned

Up in Flames, Up in Flames
Up in Flames

Oh we have slowly burned
Oh we have slowly burned

Can we pour some water on

[Kiame]

I'm fairly confident these are the lyrics:


So it's over,
This time I know it's gone.
Salt water.
You tasted it too long.
Pour it on my heart.
Once it stung.

Up in Flames
Up in Flames
Up in flames
We have slowly burned.

So it's over
This time flying on
This time I know your song
Stop and slowly burn.
Stop and slowly burn.

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly burned

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
Oh, we have slowly burned.
Oh, we have slowly burned.

Can we pour some water on?

[al200]

possibly 'this time i know your sunk'?

[twitchy517]

I think the phrase might be, "we have slowly gone." Especially since the saying is usually going up in flames, this makes sense to me.

[Miha]

This is the correct version I think. I'm not even English and yet I hear this:

So it's over,
This time I know it's gone.
Salt water.
You tasted it too long.
I only know why I'm wrong.
Now I know it's gone.

Up in Flames
Up in Flames
Up in Flames
We have slowly gone.

So it's over
This time you're flying on
This time I know no song
could stop it slowly burn.
could stop it slowly burn.

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly gone.

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
Oh, we have slowly gone.
Oh, we have slowly gone.

Can we pour some water on?

Almost 100% it's the right interpretation!

[Blakexy1125]

heres my take...

So it's over,
This time I know it's gone.
Salt water.
You tasted it too long.
I only know why I'm wrong.
Now I know it's gone.

Up in Flames
Up in Flames
Up in Flames
We have slowly gone.

So it's over
This time you're flying on
This time I know no Sun
could stop it slowly burn.
could stop it slowly burn.

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly gone.

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
Oh, we have slowly gone.
Oh, we have slowly gone.

Can we pour some water on?

[panicked]

You did well! The second "So it's over' bit is slightly different according to the lyric sheet in my Japanese copy:

So it's over
This time you're flying on
This time I know no song
Can stop its lonely burn
Can stop it slowly going

Up In Flames

etc

[Chris594]

Lyrics from the Japanese release lyric booklet:

So it's over
This time I know it's gone
Salt water
Tasted it too long

I only know I'm wrong
Now I know its gone

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly gone

So it's over
This time you're flying on
This time I know no song
Can stop its lonely burn
Can stop it slowly going

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly gone
Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly gone
Oh, We have slowly gone
Can we pour some water on?

[Hartroc]

Yeah, it's clearly "Up in flame we have slowly gone."
