[Verse 1: Will Champion]
In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah
I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah

[Chorus: Will Champion, Will Champion & Chris Martin]
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Yeah, how long must you pay for it?
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

[Spoken: Chris Martin]
Señor Will Champion, everybody
Puede ser tarde
Let's go

[Verse 2: Will Champion & Chris Martin]
I was scared, I was scared
Tired and underprepared
But I wait for it
And if you go, if you go
And leave me down here on my own
Then I'll wait for you, yeah
¿Cómo se canta? Let's go

[Chorus: Will Champion, Will Champion & Chris Martin]
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Yeah, how long must you pay for it?
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
For it

[Spoken: Chris Martin]
Por favor, ruido por Mr. Will Champion

[Bridge: Will Champion, Will Champion & Chris Martin]
Please, please, please
Come back and sing to me, to me, me
Come on and sing it out, now, now
Come on and sing it out to me, me
Come on and sing it

[Outro: Will Champion & Chris Martin]
In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah (Escucha, escucha, shh)
Oh (Oh)
De corazones, whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah

[Spoken Outro: Chris Martin]
Okay, amigos, ahora, ahora
Hemos escrito un canción nuevo para decir
Muchísimas gracias a ustedes por, por todo
Y por, ah, ah, tantos cosas, ah, y please, ah
Cien vídeos en el escenario, ah
Tres [?] musicians Martin, Biance and Caroline, please come up
And then also, Mr. Professor, Doctor
The greatest musician in living memory
Mr. Jonathan "Fantasmo" Hopkins, here he comes

Coldplay is a British rock band, formed in 1997 by University College London classmates Chris Martin (vocals, guitar, piano), Jonny Buckland (guitar) and Guy Berryman (bass), along with drummer Will Champion. The band’s name comes from Tim Crompton, a student who was in the same university as the members (University College London) at the time.

Once they issued their debut, Parachutes in 2000, many saw them as a Radiohead knock-off. No doubt, Coldplay’s sound —elegant, melodic, vaguely spacey and very dramatic — bore plenty of similarity to mid-1990s Radiohead. But the group’s hooks, sharpened by frontman Chris Martin’s ability to pull heartstrings, and the their willingness to evolve their sound, gave Coldplay staying power. The greatest examples are second album A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), which was generally considered to be musically and lyrically more mature and sophisticated, and less obviously the product of one particular influence, and the fourth one Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), where producer Brian Eno influenced the band to broaden their sound and led to various sonic landscapes. Both won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and spawned sucessful singles such as “Clocks”, “Viva la Vida”, “In My Place”, “Violet Hill” and “The Scientist”.

As a result, the band became one of the most commercially successful acts of the new millennium, with over 80 million albums sold – even if along with the acclaim came a vocal opposition, due to the supposedly derivative nature, the overtly emotional lyrics, and the fact they’re good-mannered English boys instead of wild rockstars. As a result, Coldplay are thought as either a punchline showing all that’s wrong with 21st century rock, or a really good if overplayed band with songs tailor made for stadium performances.
