Strawberry Swing
I've always said that Chris Martin was one out of a very small Chucky-sized handful of people that I admire their writing style. But when listening to Strawberry Swing by Coldplay, I was tempted to think that in the first verse, Chris Martin says something about "Everyone was food fighting.... Wouldn't wanna waste the food." However, after singing it like this for about a week, I read the lyrics which were: "Everyone was for fighting...Wouldn't wanna waste a thing." I prefer my translation of the lyrics. This song presents a carefree attitude. With lyrics like, "We were sitting, we were talking in the strawberry swing. Every moment was so precious" and "It's such a perfect day," Chris Martin portrays a picture- a picture of a summer day, just you and your someone.... This is one of the few times where it is completely acceptable to have "food fight-ing" in your lyrics.... I wish he'd said it.
