Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Clocks"
Misheard Lyrics:
"It's a haggis waiting to be tamed... "
Original Lyrics:
"His heart is waiting to be tamed... " (I think!)

Story about this misheard lyric by: Beth

I love Coldplay and was listening over and over to 'Clocks' on YouTube -- in the next stanza after Chris Martin sings, "....shoot an apple off my head" I swear I hear him sing "...it's like a haggis waiting to be tamed... " -- Now, a haggis is the Scottish national dish -- a sheep's stomach filled with oats and other grains, suet, onions, etc., and served with 'Scot's gravy' -- single malt whiskey. I really don't think Coldplay meant this song to be 'An Ode to a Haggis' but I can't sort out the lyrics in that one stanza.

Funny Lyrics:

"Yellow"
The Funny Lyrics:
-- cause we were all yellow.
Why They're Funny:
Hmm, were all yellow, theres something wrong with us. we have diseases .

"Speed Of Sound"
The Funny Lyrics:
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand?
Why They're Funny:
I think I would understand you if I was high. And only then.

Repetitive Lyrics:

"A Whisper"
The Repetitive Lyrics:
A whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper
I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks
I remember your face remember when you are lost
A whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper
Why They're Repetitive:
Definitely the worst Coldplay song, that set of lyrics is all he says, I think, I can't stand it.
Submitted by: silverbeatle
"Clocks"
The Repetitive Lyrics:
1. The Chord layout
2. Ooooooooo ahhhhh ooooo ahhh
Why They're Repetitive:
Ok, first of all, he just keeps playing the same chords over and over again. Congratulations man, you can move your fingers in the same direction on a piano. I'm surprised he didn't get carpal tunnel syndrome. Second, if the chords weren't boring enough, he just keeps singing oooooooo ahhhh, which doesn't even make sense. If that is seriously the chorus, I'm mourning for my generation.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Clocks"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing, 'you are'.
Why They're Nonsensical:
You are what? This is really annoying. Why would a tiger be singing 'you are'? And if it was wasn't tamed, it would more likely be growling and snarling than singing.
Submitted by: wadded beef
"Yellow"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
And it was all yellow.
Why They're Nonsensical:
How romantic. He drew a line for her. Now wonder Gwyneth fell for him. With lyrics like that...and it was YELLOW, TOO! Sexy.

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Clocks"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Am I a part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease
Why They're Misrhymed:
They don't ryhme! The rest of the song rhymes, but not these four lines! Cool song anyway.
