Coldplay - Bloodless Revolution Lyrics






People wanna fight for fun
But what is a battle when the war's already been won
People wanna break what's built
There's no use crying when the milk's already been spilt

Here's a needle, here's a thread
Sew yourself up, clear your head
Here's a needle, here's a thread
Oh no, I meant exactly what I said

You might find that you're useless
No better than a hole in the ground
You might find that you're useless
No better than a hole in the ground

Look at all the cavemen goin'
Turning over to the shore
[?]

I'm only looking for a bloodless revolution
I'm only looking for a bloodless revolution
I'm only looking for a bloodless revolution

  1. E.... A....

    Influenced 42 clearly ! 😉

  2. S.... W....

    I thought Coldplay is taking History Classes.

  3. L.... S....

    Absolutely love this song but can't help but chuckle that first time Chris struggles to sing 'you might find that you're useless' lol

  4. G.... W....

    The ending of the song sounds exactly like the ending to Adventure of a lifetime

  5. M.... O....

    People wanna fight for fun
    But what is a battle when the war's already been won
    People wanna break what's built
    There's no use crying when the milk's already been spilt

    Here's a needle, here's a thread
    Sew yourself up, clear your head
    Here's a needle, here's a thread
    Oh no, I meant exactly what I said

    You might find that you're useless
    No better than a hole in the ground
    You might find that you're useless
    No better than a hole in the ground

    Look at all the cavemen going
    Turning over to the shore
    Ohhh

    I'm only looking for a bloodless revolution
    I'm only looking for a bloodless revolution
    I'm only looking for a bloodless revolution

  6. M.... L....

    The bit that starts around 50 seconds in sounds like it was reused in 42.

  7. a.... ....

    the piano, melody, and chord progressions here are untouchable, and here they lie in the demo pile... other musicians would be so lucky to even get one of these, and coldplay was able to craft viva AND prospekt's without even needing this... as a songwriter this is so humbling to me!

  8. N.... B....

    I live just for Chris saying Bloodless Revolution at the beginning 😍

    N.... B....

    tbh omg

  9. g.... ....

    i hear elements of 42 in this

  10. P.... ....

    Think about it. Songs like Bloodless revolution, A Spell a Rebel Yell, The Fall of Man didn't make on the album, but Yes did.

    P.... ....

    YES, is my shit. It's too good, so i don't know what the hell your talking about.

    P.... ....

    The thing is, every song written during this era was top notch, so it was hard to decide what to work on

    P.... ....

    Exactly!

    P.... ....

    Yes is fantastic, what the hell are you all on about?

    P.... ....

    I think yes is fantastic as well, it's really original, different and interesting. The lyrics are great as well!

  11. E.... B....

    I wish they finished this. Definitely would've been a favorite of mine. After years, I'm still not sick of this song. I just wish it really could've been on the album.

  12. P.... ....

    Goddamn I wish this song could've reached its full potential. Coldplay should choose their most popular unreleased songs and turn them into full songs for the next albums

  13. J.... N....

    The songs which were supposed to be released are trashed //// REALLY MISS THIS COLDPLAY

    J.... N....

    +AceLobster why,this song is too good.

    J.... N....

    I think acelobster misunderstood.

    J.... N....

    @AceLobster I think he meant that the songs which were supposed to be released were "trashed" as in thrown out.

    J.... N....

    hehe you are right :D

  14. A.... G....

    I couldn't imagine how good would have been if turned in a album song....

  15. u.... ....

    The chorus from Miss the Misery by Foo Fighters would fit so nicely in this

  16. d.... ....

    Goddamn this is good. They really need to reuse the melody from the beginning and they'd definitely have a hit on their hands. A shame they never did anything with this.

  17. A.... G....

    The chordprogression is sooo good. I think maybe the middlepart made him struggle or someone unsatisfied, since it doesn't really fit into the melancholic mood from the start. Also I think it would've been a reaaally strong song to compete with Violet Hill Viva la Vida on that Album.

    A.... G....

    Alex Gonzalez Evans

    2 year old post, perfectly put.

  18. B.... C....

    That's a very nice melody, they should re-use that.

    B.... C....

    Don't forget about the lyrics! Wonderfull!!!

    B.... C....

    Check out a Coldplay song called Death and all his friends you'll hear some of the same piano in it

    B.... C....

    I know, and I love that song :)

    B.... C....

    @Alejandro Baars What's your favorite coldplay song or album?

    B.... C....

    It's also similar to 42

  19. F.... ....

    "Here's a needle, here's a thread, sew yourself up, clear your head..", really nice chorus or bridge into a chorus there, he should revisit that

    F.... ....

    I agree! It's been going round my head for months..

    F.... ....

    +Fletcher McHugh That part specifically reminds me very much of a Smith's melody that Morissey would write (or maybe a song that they have already, I'm not sure).

  20. F.... a....

    I wish they put out a finished version of this as it's very good but then again I like the raw demo too.

  21. a.... ....

    coldplay's 4th album is one of my favorite and this song is awesome and very rhythmical!

  22. A.... D....

    this can easily replace some obscure songs in the album, like "yes". I mean the never play it live either..

  23. B.... P....

    We need to like write a petition for coldplay to release these amazing songs....

    B.... P....

    Agreed!

  24. B.... P....

    Makes me so sad that they didn't release this.... It's beautiful...

  25. P.... M....

  41. u.... ....

    OMG OMG OMG OMG, A NEW DISCOVERY!

  42. S.... ....

    Coldplay´s music is something... indescriptible

  43. D.... ....

    THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO MY LIFE!!!!!!!

  44. J.... ....

    my new fav song

  45. R.... ....

    God Damn It ! THIS SONG reminds me of the damn beatles!

  46. R.... ....

    @LendMeYourHand what do you mean.. ur words r scaring me 0_0! explain further!

  47. J.... F....

    This song actually reminds me of a stripped-down version of Apocalypse Please by Muse.

  48. E.... L....

    @13kover The secret: A4= 432HZ. There is a special frequency which i am attempting to pinpoint which will literally make you cry with joy. i feel it in many of the greats. Funny enough, the last time i heard this strange frequency that induces it was from Katey Perry tunes. Now i am waiting to discover this shamanic frequency in Cold Play songs. Let me know if you ever felt this strange frequency which induces emotions. Otherwise, realize this oddity that makes you cry with warmth.

  49. Q.... ....

    Yeah this definitely would've been an amazing addition to any album they've released, when offcourse, finished properly and smoothed around the edges. It does have an awesome vibe to it. But it's coldplay, what else do we expect. With every demo I've heard, I wish it had been released at some point. Especially Lukas and famous old painters

  50. C.... D....

    god, this is so good!

  51. G.... w....

    @jesalbert1 THIS IS BETTER THAN HALF THE TRACKS ON VIVA LA VIDA

  52. t.... ....

    I love this one , hope they release it someday !

  53. Y.... L....

    this actually is fucking good

  54. T.... O....

    this is really cool i love it

  55. s.... ....

    prime real estate

  56. m.... ....

    Thank you so much for putting this up!!! Love it :)

  57. s.... f....

    thanks for posting this! :) i really love this song
