Cemeteries of London
by Coldplay
At night they would go walking 'till the breaking of the day
The morning is for sleeping
Through the dark streets, they go searching, to see God in their own way
Save the nighttime for your weeping
Your weeping
Singing la lalalalala la la
And the night over London lay
So we rode down to the river, where the toiling ghosts spring
For their curses to be broken
We'd go underneath the arches, where the witches are in the saying
There are ghost towns in the ocean
The ocean
Singing la lalalalala la la
And the night over London lay
God is in the houses and God is in my head
And all the cemeteries in London
I see God come in my garden, but I don't know what he said
For my heart it wasn't open
Not open
Singing la lalalalala la la
And the night over London lay
Singing la lalalalala la la
There's no light over London today.

Chris Martin (from The Sun newspaper May 13, 2008): "It's our attempt at a Smiths song. It's about witch drownings. I was interested about that period in London where people were supposedly drowned for being a witch. And that's where that song came from. About being accused of something you didn't do."
Coldplay recorded this song in a Barcelona church, which provided the distinctive echo.
