Chris Martin has told Chris Evans on Radio 2 that he couldn't pick a favourite Coldplay lyric because he doesn't think any of them are very good; but he claims to have an ace up his sleeve, saying "They're about to get brilliant. I don't want to go on about what we're going to do but we're about to get a lot better and part of that lyrically."
Perhaps he should stop worrying about the lyrics, and think of ways to make his music a whole lot less pedestrian? Hmmm. Perhaps not.
