Coldplay 'Viva la Vida' - Album Analysis

Coldplay album is a prime example of what a good digipak really is. A simple card creation with a huge amount of high resolution art creating a very graphic experience. This album would easily appeal to people of all ages from it's almost graffiti style text to the historical implications of the French revolution images.

The music itself attracts a large range of listeners from my own age group of 16-25 to that of my fathers generation of over 50's. The beauty of Coldplay is their unique alternative sound can be enjoyed by all generations. Likewise this digipak can as well, regardless of whether or not you understand the historical implications of their music or just enjoy the amazing colours or the inside booklet it has something for everyone.


The Digipak itself has a a simple design with 2 sleeves to hold the CD's in and 2 mini booklets. These mini-booklets are art books in their own right. Below you will find numerous images showing the huge amount of colour which the booklets employ. Once again these designs can attract numerous ages from their serious imagery from the Music Videos to the graphical art.

The first booklet contains images from the Music Video's which enables you to see the entire band as well as gain an insight into the type of videos of Coldplay that are out there. Where as the other booklet is a huge 10 page graphic piece of art taking bit's and bobs from the various songs and turning it into some sort of graphic.

The final page of the this booklet however shows an image of the band which enables you to put a real face to Coldplay. This enables the audience to fully put a visual link in their head for the band members to the name 'Coldplay'.
Overall this album is a huge boom for any collector of shiny CD Cases / Digipaks, even if it is a Coldplay disc set...

Blighters Lyrics

Blighters - Don't Want Nothing
Today we have fallen apart
But you wont take it away
Today you have broken my heart
But you won't fix it for me

Today we have fallen apart
cos you're naughty for me
Today you have broken my heart
cos you're naughty for free

(You're you're)
you don't want to leave me
you don't want nothing
you don't want leave my side
you don't want nothing

Tomorrow is another new start
So I'll forget the past
Tomorrow I will learn how to love
cos you're naughty for lust

(You're you're)
You don't want to leave me
you don't want nothing
you don't want to leave my side
you don't want nothing ( x 2 )

She knows what shes doing to you ( x 9 )

You don't want to leave me
you don't want nothing
you don't want to leave my side
you don't want nothing ( x 2 )

Today we have fallen apart

Blighters - Boys in Motion
The war has been won
The soldier must go on
in search of
New life, new work
You were my battle
And you have been won
Like the Soldier
I must move on

Oh boys in Motion
Fighting against me girl
This place like heaven ( x 2 )

Girls smell so sweet
or so I remember
So why do you
Make it so hard to fall in love
I guess there's no one good for me
Better get used to being lonely
don't ever say
Fall in love

Oh boys in Motion
Fighting against me girl
This place like heaven ( x 2 )

Blighters - Be your own hangman
She's as foolish as me
But she still can't see
She's as foolish as me
She's as foolish as me

Going down down to the city
It's so cold but girls so pretty
But don't be a fool remember to wrap up boy
don't be a fool remember to wrap up

- Chorus -
She's as foolish as me
But she still can't see
She's as foolish as me
She's as foolish as me

I could be the hangman
Be your own hangman
I could be the hangman
Be your own hangman
I could be the hangman
- Chorus -

And I'm so stupid second time
makes me sick but I'll be fine
don't be a fool remember to wrap up boy
a hangmans noss just for the boy (the boy the boy)

- Chorus - ( x 2 )

Blighters - The Exam
Hello
Sit down
In your seat
Don’t look; don’t speak; don’t cheat
Who’s that sitting down,
Sitting next to me
I want her
And she can say
Examine -oooh-

Examine me
I’ll examine you
I like you too
Don’t look; don’t talk; don’t cheat on me

It’s what I do

Little dress, little desk, I’m impressed
So cool, so calm, so not stressed
I wish I was your pen
You can chew me again and again

Examine –oooh-

Examine me
I’ll examine you
I like you too
Don’t look; don’t talk; don’t cheat on me
Don’t look; don’t talk; don’t cheat on me

Your time is up
Your time is up
(Your time is up, your time is up)
Your time is up
Your time is up
(Your time is up, your time is up)

Don’t go
This is just the beginning

Examine me
I’ll examine you
I like you too
Don’t look; don’t talk; don’t cheat on me
Don’t look; don’t talk; don’t cheat on me

It’s what I do

Don’t look; don’t talk; don’t cheat on me (x4)

It’s not what we do

Sitting at your little desk
Sitting at your little desk
Sitting at your little desk
Sitting at your little desk

Examine.
