You 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 hearts desires
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
And do back the things it did to you in return

Huuuhhhh [x4]

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

17 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal YES great stuff. kinda confusing? but if you want interpretations, songmeanings.net has great stuff.. but ya for some reason whenever i listen to this song i think about war, "Said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war, If you can tell me something worth fighting for.." kinda reminds me of Bush. but i guess you can also say its about love and doing anything for your love.. i dont really know. but whatever it means, i still think its brilliant, you can't expect anything less than brilliant from coldplay.

750 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal coldplay is actually mega awesome. people say theyre over rated, but thats only because everyone knows them and likes them, and even if it is over rated, they still are awesome. and red hto chili peppers (the second greatest people ever) are sorta over rated, but they do deserve that much credit though but you get my point. nirvana's over rated, but theyre still awesome. however, i ahve to say that the greatest things (not just music... but mainly music...) are always the ones noones heard of. then people say theyre underrated. ah man, people are so complicated.
