The Goldrush
From WikiColdplay
The Goldrush is a song written during sessions for Coldplay's fourth studio album, but wasn't included on the album.
The lyrics to the song are included in the tour programme for the Viva La Vida Tour and the song is expected to become a live staple at future concerts.
Chris Martin: "We're also hoping to do this thing where we give away a song with every ticket. We have this song called The Goldrush, which Will sings. We want to play it as part of the show, so we'd like to give it away with the ticket. That way the only people that know that song will be the people coming to the concerts."

Lyrics
I went digging for gold Down by the river Over by the mountain Where the prospektor had been told I'm marching through the cold We're marching through the cold I went digging for gold I went down with my brother A bucket and a shovel and a book about the colour of coal I'm marching through the cold We're marching through the cold There's a tiny little crackle on the telephone line Saying what use the metal if the metal don't shine? She said bring me back a diamond/ring 'cause I really want one Now I been digging so long that I never see the sun
