Viva la vida, Coldplay

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
Now the old king is dead, long live the king

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries Wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

Video killed the radio star, the Buggles

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty-two
lying awake intent at tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
(aw-a aw-a)

They took the credit for your second symphony
rewritten by machine and new technology
and now I understand the problems you can see
(aw-a aw-a)
I met your children
(aw-a aw-a)
What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star

Pictures came and broke your heart
(aw-a aw-a aw)

And now we meet in an abandoned studio
we hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go

(aw-a aw-a)

You were the first one
(aw-a aw-a)
You were the last one

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
we can't rewind we've gone to far
aw-a aw-a aw,
aw-a aw-a aw

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star

In my mind and in my car
we can't rewind we've gone to far
pictures came and broke your heart
put the blame on VTR
(You are a radio star
You are a radio star)

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star (You are a radio star...)
