Funny Lyrics:

"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.
Submitted by: Leigh

The Funny Lyrics:
I swam across I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do

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:

"Speed of Sound"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
...[And] birds go flying at the speed of sound
...[And] the birds came flying from the underground
Why They're Nonsensical:
I love this song, but I must point out that birds cannot fly at the speed of sound, and neither can your favorite ham sandwich. Also, if the birds were underground, they couldn't fly out most likely, and neither could you favorite ham sandwich.

Questions of science,
science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Insincere Lyrics:

"Beautiful World"

We live in a beautiful world
Why They're Insincere:
Coldplay must be in a Utopia here - I'm guessing they've never watched the news or even stepped outside of their own houses in their lives
Submitted by: Devil Jones

The Insincere Lyrics:
I’m gonna buy a gun and start a war
Why They're Insincere:
This is what Bush must have thought!
Submitted by: Dutch_Justine

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.
