42 - Coldplay

Today we bring you "42" from Coldplay's fourth studio album "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends". The album was released June 17, 2008 in North America. Track number four is a three minute and fifty-seven second song called, you guessed it, "42".

It starts out a little slow but picks up.







Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living in my head
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well

Time is so short
And I'm sure
There must be something more

Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living in my head
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well

Time is so short
And I'm sure
There must be something more

You thought you might be a ghost!
You thought you might be a ghost!
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close

You thought you might be a ghost!
You thought you might be a ghost!
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You didn't get to heaven but you, oh...

Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living in my head
