Turn into something beautiful

Trying hard to speak and

Fighting with my weak hand

Driven to distraction

It's all part of the plan

When something is broken

And you try to fix it

Trying to repair it

Any way you can

I dive in at the deep end

You become my best friend

I want to love you but I don't know if I can

I know something is broken

And I'm trying to fix it

Trying to repair it

Any way I can

Ooh

You and me are floating on a tidal wave

Together

You and me are drifting into outer space

And singing

Ooh, ooh

You and me are floating on a tidal wave

You and me are drifting into outer space

You and me are floating on a tidal wave

Together

You and me are drifting into outer space

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

So I look in your direction

But you pay me no attention, do you?

I know you don't listen to me

'Cause you say you see straight through me

Don't you?

But on and on

From the moment I wake

To the moment I sleep

I'll be there by your side

Just you try and stop me

I'll be waiting in line

Just to see if you care

Oh, did you want me to change?

Well I'd change for good

And I want you to know that you'll always get your way

And I wanted to say

Don't you shiver

Don't you shiver

I'll sing it loud and clear

And I'll always be waiting for you

So you know how much I need you

But you never even see me do you?

And is this my final chance of getting you?

But on and on

From the moment I wake

To the moment I sleep

I'll be there by your side

Just you try and stop me

I'll be waiting in line

Just to see if you care, if you care

Did you want me to change?

And I want you to know that you'll always get your way

And I wanted to say

Don't you shiver

Don't you shiver

I'll sing it loud and clear

I'll always be waiting for you

Lovers, keep on the road you're on

Runners until the race is run

Soldiers, you've got to soldier on

Sometimes even the right is wrong

They are turning my head out

To see what I'm all about

Keeping my head down

To see what it feels like now

But I have no doubt

One day we're gonna get out

Tonight maybe we're gonna run

Dreaming of the Osaka sun

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Dreaming of when the morning comes

They are turning my head out

To see what I'm all about

Keeping my head down

To see what it feels like now

But I have no doubt

One day, the sun will come out

Reign of love, I can't let go

To the sea I offer this heavy load

Locusts wind, lift me up

I'm just a prisoner in a reign of love

Locusts wind, here stop

How I wish I'd spoken to the reign of love

Reign of love, by the church we're waiting

Reign of love, on my knees go praying

How I wish I'd spoken up

Away get carried on the reign of love

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry

You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you, tell you I need you

Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions

Oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles, coming up tails

Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy

It's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh, take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures

Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science, science and progress

Do not speak as loud as my heart

But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me

Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles, chasing our tails

Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy

Oh, it's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start

6. Hurts Like Heaven

Lagu ini juga dibandingkan dengan musik LCD Soundsystem dan mencapai nomor 27 di tangga lagu alternatif Billboard.

Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park

Do you ever get the feeling

That you're missing the mark?

It's so cold, it's so cold

It's so cold, it's so cold

Written up in marker on a factory sign

I struggle with the feeling

That my life isn't mine

It's so cold, it's so cold

It's so cold, it's so cold

See the arrow that they shot trying

To tear us apart took the fire from my belly and

The beat from my heart

Still I won't let go

Still I won't let go

You, ooh, ooh

Oh you, use your heart as a weapon

And it hurts like heaven

On every street, every car, every surface in nature

And at the streets are rising and you'd rather sing

Don't let them take control

No, we won't let 'em take control

Yes, I feel a little bit nervous

Yes, I feel nervous and I cannot relax

I'm coming 'round to get us

I'm coming 'round when they don't know the facts

So on a concrete canvas and a glow in the dark

On a concrete canvas, I will make you a mark

Armed with the spray can soul

Let me out with the spray can soul

You, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

'Cause you use your heart as a weapon

And it hurts like heaven

Whoa-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh

Yeah, it's true, when you

Use your heart as a weapon

And it hurts like heaven

Oh and it hurts like heaven

7. Strawberry Swing

Strawberry Swing adalah lagu yang dirilis pada tahun 2008 sebagai bagian dari album Viva La Vida. Awalnya, lagu ini hampir dihapus dari album tetapi Chris Martin, pentolan Coldplay, memutuskan untuk tetap memasukkannya.

Lagu ini memadukan gaya musik folk rock yang dipengaruhi oleh Spanyol dan Afrika, dan diilhami oleh warisan ibu Chris Martin di Zimbabwe. Lagu ini juga dipuji karena gaya funk-nya yang lembut dan dianggap sebagai salah satu lagu paling menenangkan sepanjang masa.

They were sitting

They were sitting on the strawberry swing

Every moment was so precious

They were sitting

They were talking on the strawberry swing

Everybody was for fighting

Wouldn't want to waste a thing

Cold, cold water, bring me 'round

Now my feet won't touch the ground

Cold, cold water, what you say?

When it's such, it's such a perfect day

It's such a perfect day

I remember

We were walking up to strawberry swing

I can't wait 'til the morning

Wouldn't want to change a thing

People moving all the time

Inside a perfectly straight line

Don't you wanna just curve away?

When it's such, it's such a perfect day

It's such a perfect day

Now the sky could be blue

I don't mind

Without you, it's a waste of time

Could be blue

I don't mind

Without you, it's a waste of time

Well the sky could be blue

Could be grey

Without you, I'm just miles away

Well the sky could be blue

I don't mind

Without you, it's a waste of time

Don't Panic adalah salah satu lagu tertua Coldplay, yang awalnya ditulis pada tahun 1998 dan dirilis pada album pertama mereka, Parachutes, pada tahun 2000. Selama awal 2000-an, lagu ini menjadi favorit penonton dalam penampilan langsung Coldplay.

Lirik lagu ini menggambarkan monolog internal Chris Martin yang sedang panik dan judulnya diambil dari buku The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy karya Douglas Adams.

Bones, sinking like stones

All that we fought for

Homes, places we've grown

All of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world

Yeah, we do, yeah, we do

We live in a beautiful world

Bones, sinking like stones

All that we fought for

And homes, places we've grown

All of us are done for (done for)

And we live in a beautiful world

Yeah, we do, yeah, we do

We live in a beautiful world

And we live in a beautiful world

Yeah, we do, yeah, we do

We live in a beautiful world

Oh, all that I know

There's nothing here to run from

'Cause yeah, everybody here's

Got somebody to lean on

9. Speed Of Sound

Speed Of Sound dirilis pada tahun 2005 dan merupakan lagu pertama di mana semua anggota Coldplay bergabung dan menyusun lagu bersama-sama.

Lagu ini terinspirasi oleh lagu Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) karya Kate Bush, yang tidak terlalu dikenal pada saat itu. Lagu ini terkenal dan dinominasikan untuk Grammy Award.

How long before I get in?

Before it starts, before I begin?

How long before you decide?

Before I know what it feels like?

Where to, where do I go?

If you never try, then you'll never know

How long do I have to climb

Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night

Planets are moving at the speed of light

Climb up, up in the trees

Every chance that you get

Is a chance you seize

How long am I gonna stand

With my head stuck under the sand?

I'll start before I can stop

Before I see things the right way up

All that noise, and all that sound

All those places I got found

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

Ideas that you'll never find

All the inventors could never design

The buildings that you put up

Japan and China all lit up

The sign that I couldn't read

Or a light that I couldn't see

Some things you have to believe

But others are puzzles, puzzling me

All that noise, and all that sound

All those places I got found

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

Ah, when you see it then you'll understand

All those signs, I knew what they meant

Some things you can invent

And some get made, and some get sent

Ooh

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

Ah, when you see it then you'll understand

10. Paradise

Paradise dirilis pada tahun 2011 dan menjadi salah satu hit terbesar Coldplay. Lagu ini menandai perubahan kecepatan dalam musik mereka dengan perkusi yang lebih berat dan getaran yang lebih poppy dan ceria. Lagu ini disebut sebagai salah satu lagu paling berpengaruh di awal 2010-an dan tetap menjadi salah satu lagu paling terkenal Coldplay hingga saat ini.

When she was just a girl she expected the world

But it flew away from her reach

So she ran away in her sleep

Dreamed of para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise

Every time she closed her eyes

When she was just a girl she expected the world

But it flew away from her reach

And the bullets catch in her teeth

Life goes on, it gets so heavy

The wheel breaks the butterfly

Every tear a waterfall

In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes

In the night the stormy night away she'd fly

Dream of para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

She'd dream of para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Sing, la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

And so lying underneath those stormy skies

She'd say, "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I know the sun must set to rise"

This could be para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

This could be para-para-paradise

(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh)

This could be para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

This could be para-para-paradise

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh, oh

This could be para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

This could be para-para-paradise

(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh)

This could be para, be paradise

Para-paradise

Para-paradise

This could be para, be paradise

Para-paradise

Para-paradise

11. In My Place

Chris Martin akhirnya memutuskan untuk memasukkannya dalam album kedua mereka dan lagu ini memenangkan Grammy Award untuk Penampilan Rock Terbaik oleh Duo atau Grup Dengan Vokal.

In My Place, In My Place

Were lines that I couldn't change

I was lost, oh yeah

I was lost, I was lost

Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed

I was lost, oh yeah

Yeah

How long must you wait for it?

Yeah

How long must you pay for it?

Yeah

How long must you wait for it?

Oh, for it

I was scared, I was scared

Tired and under prepared

But I'll wait for it

If you go, if you go

Leave me down here on my own

Then I'll wait for you (yeah)

Yeah

How long must you wait for it?

Yeah

How long must you pay for it?

Yeah

How long must you wait for it?

Oh, for it?

Singing please, please, please

To me, me

Oh yeah

12. Clocks

Clocks adalah salah satu lagu paling ikonik dari band Coldplay dan juga menjadi lagu yang sangat penting pada tahun 2000-an. Dirilis pada tahun 2002, lagu ini bahkan berhasil memenangkan Grammy Award untuk kategori Record Of The Year.

Ternyata, lagu ini juga ditambahkan secara mendadak dalam album kedua mereka. Saat itu, band Coldplay terinspirasi oleh Muse, salah satu grup rock indie terbesar di awal tahun 2000-an.

Meskipun sang vokalis Chris Martin meragukan untuk memasukkan lagu ini dalam album, manajer mereka menyarankan bahwa keseluruhan pesan dari lagu ini sangat berarti, yaitu tentang memanfaatkan peluang yang tepat.

The lights go out and I can't be saved

Tides that I tried to swim against

Have brought me down upon my knees

Oh, I beg, I beg and plead, singing

Come out of things unsaid

Shoot an apple off my head, and a

Trouble that can't be named

A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing

You are

You are

Confusion never stops

Closing walls and ticking clocks, gonna

Come back and take you home

I could not stop that you now know, singing

Come out upon my seas

Cursed missed opportunities

Am I a part of the cure?

Or am I part of the disease? Singing

You are

You are

You are

You are

You are

You are

And nothing else compares

Oh, nothing else compares

And nothing else compares

You are

You are

Home, home, where I wanted to go

Home, home, where I wanted to go

Home (you), home, where I wanted to go (are)

Home (you), home, where I wanted to go (are)

13. Talk

Talk adalah salah satu lagu dari album Coldplay X&Y yang dirilis pada tahun 2005. Lagu ini didasarkan pada garis melodi dari lagu Computer Love karya Kraftwerk pada tahun 1981. Namun, sebelum menggunakan garis melodi tersebut, band Coldplay telah meminta izin kepada Kraftwerk untuk menggunakannya.

Mereka kemudian mengadaptasi musik synthesizer asli sebagai trek gitar, dengan melakukan suntingan ekstensif lainnya. Sayangnya, perubahan yang dilakukan begitu banyak sehingga lagu hampir tidak termasuk dalam album.

Namun, Coldplay berhasil menyelesaikannya tepat waktu dan lagu ini sukses di Amerika Serikat dan bahkan sukses besar di Eropa, mencapai posisi nomor satu di Belanda.

Oh brother, I can't, I can't get through

I've been trying hard to reach you 'cause I don' know what to do

Oh brother, I can't believe it's true

I'm so scared about the future, and I wanna talk to you

Oh, I wanna talk to you

You can take a picture of something you see

In the future where will I be?

You can climb a ladder up to the sun

Or a write a song nobody has sung

Or do something that's never been done

Are you lost or incomplete?

Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?

Tell me, how do you feel?

Well, I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak

And they're talking it to me

So you take a picture of something you see

In the future where will I be?

You can climb a ladder up to the sun

Or write a song nobody has sung

Or do something that's never been done

Or do something that's never been done

So you don't know where you're going and you wanna talk

And you feel like you're going where you've been before

You tell anyone who'll listen, but you feel ignored

Nothing's really making any sense at all, let's talk

Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk

14. Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall dirilis oleh Coldplay pada tahun 2011. Sayangnya, album ini dikritik karena diduga menjiplak lagu I Go To Rio karya Peter Allen. Namun, band Coldplay kemudian mengklarifikasi bahwa mereka telah menggunakan progresi akor yang serupa dengan izin dari sebuah lagu yang didasarkan pada lagu milik Allen.

Lagu ini kemudian dipuji sebagai salah satu lagu terbaik dari Coldplay karena dapat mengawinkan emosi yang tulus dengan suara arena rock yang menarik. Lagu ini juga telah menjadi inspirasi bagi banyak seniman lainnya.

I turn the music up

I got my records on

I shut the world outside until the lights come on

Maybe the streets alight

Maybe the trees are gone

I feel my heart start beatin' to my favorite song

And all the kids they dance

All the kids all night

Until Monday mornin' feels another life

I turn the music up

I'm on a roll this time

And heaven is in sight

I turn the music up

I got my records on

From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song

Don't want to see another generation drop

I'd rather be a comma than a full stop

Maybe I'm in the black

Maybe I'm on my knees

Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes

But my heart is beating and my pulses start

Cathedrals in my heart

As we saw, woah, this light

I swear you, emerge blinking into

To tell me it's alright

As we soar walls

Every siren is a symphony

And every tear's a waterfall

Is a waterfall, oh

Is a waterfall, oh-oh-oh

Is a, is a waterfall

Every tear

Is a waterfall, oh-oh-oh

So you can hurt

Hurt me bad

But still I'll raise the flag

Ooh

It was a wa-wa-wa-wa-waterfall

A wa-wa-wa-wa-waterfall

Every tear, every tear

Every teardrop is a waterfall

Every tear, every tear

Every teardrop is a waterfall

Every tear, every tear

Every teardrop is a waterfall

Every tear, every tear

Every teardrop is a waterfall

Every tear, every tear

Every teardrop is a waterfall

Everglow direkam oleh Coldplay pada tahun 2014, saat sang vokalis Chris Martin masih menikah dengan Gwyneth Paltrow. Saat merekam lagu tersebut, Paltrow turut memberikan vokal cadangan tanpa disebutkan kreditnya.

Namun, lagu ini tidak dirilis selama beberapa tahun setelah perceraian Martin dan Paltrow. Judul lagu ini terinspirasi oleh pengalaman peselancar yang ditemui Martin yang menggambarkan pengalamannya di lautan sebagai "selalu bersinar". Lagu ini diakhiri dengan klip pidato dari Muhammad Ali pada tahun 1977.

Oh, they say people come

Say people go

This particular diamond was extra special

And though you might be gone

And the world may not know

Still I see you, celestial

Like a lion you ran

A goddess you rolled

Like an eagle you circle

In perfect purple

So how come things move on?

How come cars don't slow?

When it feels like the end of my world

When I should, but I can't, let you go?

But when I'm cold, cold

Oh, when I'm cold, cold

There's a light that you give me

When I'm in shadow

There's a feeling you give me, an everglow

Like brothers in blood

Sisters who ride

And we swore on that night

We'd be friends 'til we die

But the changing of winds

And the way waters flow

Life is short as the falling of snow

And now I'm gonna miss you, I know

But when I'm cold, cold

In water rolled, salt

I know that you're always with me

And the way you will show

And you're with me wherever I go

And you give me this feeling

This everglow

Oh, what I would give for just a moment to hold

Yeah, I live for this feeling, it's everglow

So if you love someone

You should let them know

Oh, the light that you left me will everglow

16. Fix You

Fix You adalah lagu balada yang manis dan penuh harapan yang dirilis oleh Coldplay pada tahun 2005. Lagu ini sangat terkenal dan Martin menulisnya tiga tahun sebelumnya untuk Gwyneth Paltrow setelah ayahnya meninggal.

Namun, yang dia bisa lakukan hanyalah hadir dan berharap segalanya menjadi lebih baik. Lagu ini juga dibawakan oleh Coldplay di upacara peringatan Steve Jobs pada tahun 2011.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed

When you get what you want, but not what you need

When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone, but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

And high up above, or down below

When you're too in love to let it go

But if you never try, you'll never know

Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down your face, and I

Tears stream down your face

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down your face, and I

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

17. Magic

Magic adalah single dari album studio keenam Coldplay, Ghost Stories, yang dirilis pada tahun 2014. Lagu ini dipuji karena instrumen yang unik dan penampilan vokal Martin dengan falsetto. Lagu ini juga menggunakan referensi untuk aksi sulap panggung klasik, seperti trik kartu dan menggergaji seseorang menjadi dua, untuk menggambarkan hubungan khusus antara dua orang.

Call it magic

Call it true

I call it magic

When I'm with you

And I just got broken

Broken into two

Still I call it magic

When I'm next to you

And I don't, and I don't, and I don't, and I don't

No, I don't, it's true

No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't

Want anybody else but you

No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't

Want anybody else but you

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Call it magic

Cut me into two

And with all your magic

I disappear from view

And I can't get over

Can't get over you

Still I call it magic

Such a precious jewel

And I don't, and I don't, and I don't, and I don't

No, I don't, it's true

No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't

Want anybody else but you

No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't

No, I don't, it's true

No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't

Want anybody else but you

Wanna fall

Fall so far

I wanna fall

Fall so hard

And I call it magic

And I call it true

I call it ma-, ma-ma-magic

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

And if you were to ask me

After all that we've been through

"Still believe in magic?"

Oh, yes, I do

Oh, yes, I do

Oh, yes, I do

Oh, yes, I do

Of course, I do

18. Death And All His Friends

Death And All His Friends adalah lagu terakhir dari album Coldplay tahun 2008, Viva La Vida. Lagu ini dimaksudkan untuk mengakui bagian kehidupan yang lebih sulit dan lebih gelap, seperti kematian, tanpa membiarkannya menjadi berlebihan.

Lagu ini membandingkan berbagai musim kehidupan dengan musim dalam setahun dan menantang orang untuk membebaskan diri dari siklus kekerasan, balas dendam, dan kemarahan manusia. Meskipun lagu ini dipisahkan menjadi lagu terakhir yang tersembunyi, The Escapist.

All winter, we got carried

Sepanjang musim dingin, kita terbawa

Away over on the rooftops, let’s get married

Jauh di atas atap, mari kita menikah

All summer, we just hurried

Sepanjang musim panas, kita hanya bergegas

So come over, just be patient and don’t worry

Jadi datanglah, bersabarlah dan jangan khawatir

So come over, just be patient and don’t worry

Jadi datanglah, bersabarlah dan jangan khawatir

So come over, just be patient and don’t worry

Jadi datanglah, bersabarlah dan jangan khawatir

And don’t worry

Dan jangan khawatir

No, I don’t want a battle from beginning to end

Tidak, aku tidak ingin pertempuran dari awal sampai akhir

I don’t want a cycle of recycled revenge

Aku tidak ingin siklus balas dendam daur ulang

I don’t wanna follow Death and all of his friends

Aku tidak ingin mengikuti Kematian dan semua teman-temannya

No, I don’t want a battle from beginning to end

Tidak, aku tidak ingin pertempuran dari awal sampai akhir

I don’t want a cycle of recycled revenge

Aku tidak ingin siklus balas dendam daur ulang

I don’t wanna follow Death and all of his friends

Aku tidak ingin mengikuti Kematian dan semua teman-temannya

19. Trouble

Lagu Trouble dianggap sebagai permata tersembunyi dalam karya Coldplay, karena meski kurang dikenal di Amerika Serikat dan tertutup oleh kepopuleran lagu Yellow, lagu ini menjadi hit di Inggris dengan mencapai posisi ke-10 dalam tangga lagu.

Meskipun tidak populer di AS, kritikus musik memberi pujian yang setara dengan Yellow dalam hal musik dan liriknya. Lagu soft rock ini bercerita tentang bagaimana memperbaiki kesalahan setelah menyakiti orang yang dicintai, dan Martin mengaku bahwa liriknya terinspirasi dari pengalamannya sendiri selama masa sulit dalam hidupnya.

Oh no, I see

A spider web is tangled up with me

And I lost my head

And thought of all the stupid things I'd said

Oh no, what's this?

A spider web and I'm caught in the middle

So I turned to run

The thought of all the stupid things I've done

And I, I never meant to cause you trouble

And I, I never meant to do you wrong

And I, well if I ever caused you trouble

Oh no, I never meant to do you harm

Oh no, I see

A spider web and it's me in the middle

So I twist and turn

Here am I in my little bubble

Singing out, I never meant to cause you trouble

And I, I never meant to do you wrong

And I, well, if I ever caused you trouble

Oh, no, I never meant to do you harm

They spun a web for me

They spun a web for me

They spun a web for me

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

I'm gonna give you my heart

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

'Cause you light up the path

I don't care, go on and tear me apart

I don't care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh

'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars

I think I saw you

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

I wanna die in your arms, oh, oh-oh

'Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark

I'm gonna give you my heart, oh

I don't care, go on and tear me apart

I don't care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh

'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars

I think I see you

I think I see you

'Cause you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars

Such a heavenly view

You're such a heavenly view

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh

21. Charlie Brown

Meskipun judulnya mengacu pada karakter dalam kartun Peanuts, lagu Charlie Brown dari Coldplay sebenarnya tidak berhubungan dengan kartun tersebut. Sebelumnya, lagu ini sebenarnya mengacu pada karakter Peanuts, tetapi kemudian diubah menjadi tanpa referensi tersebut. Lagu ini dirilis pada album Coldplay tahun 2011, Mylo Xyloto, dan menjadi salah satu favorit penggemar di konser band.

Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh

Stole a key

Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet

Took a car downtown and took what they offered me

To set me free

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene

Saw the lights go down and standing in front of me

Ooh-ooh-ooh

In my scarecrow dreams

When they smash my heart into smithereens

Be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete

Be a cartoon heart

Light a fire, a fire, a spark

Light a fire, a flame in my heart

We'll run wild

We'll be glowing in the dark, ooh-ooh-ooh

We'll be glowing in the dark, ooh-ooh-ooh ah

All the boys, all the girls

All that matters in the world

All the boys, all the girls

All the madness that occurs

All the highs, all the lows

As the room a spinning goes

We'll run riot

We'll be glowing in the dark

Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh (oh)

So we'll soar

Luminous and wired

We'll be glowing in the dark
