樂曲內容
When it started we had high hopes
Now my back's on the line
my back's on the ropes
When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool of us in daylight
Yeah they were dying of frustration
saying "Lord lead me not into temptation"
But it's not easy when she turns you on
Sin, stay gone
If you'll only, if you'll only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows I'm trying my best
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
Now my back's on the line
my back's on the ropes
When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool of us in daylight
Yeah they were dying of frustration
saying "Lord lead me not into temptation"
But it's not easy when she turns you on
Sin, stay gone
If you'll only, if you'll only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows I'm trying my best
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
So, up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop then they let go
Dizzily screaming
"Let the windows down"
as I crawl to the ground
If you'll only, if you'll only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows she won't let me rest
but I'm just tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness

樂曲背景
專輯內收錄了10首錄音室版本的新歌,歌曲多繼續延續樂隊以往的抒情風格,不會有太激烈的歌曲在其中,樂隊也不會採用西班牙狂歡時候的樂器作為背景。但是新唱片中能表現出的是西班牙自古以來的雍容華貴之氣,更多融合了多文化元素,演奏方式更隨性。
值得一提的是,樂隊於2005年的唱片《X&Y》得到了評論界和歌迷的一致好評,這張唱片顛覆了英倫搖滾樂在人們心目中的萎靡形象,以一種進取的姿態面向歌迷。大量電子元素的運用以及簡單直白的音樂表現方法,把抒情極大程度地融入了搖滾樂的節奏中,這張唱片也是奠定酷玩樂隊風格之作。
在《生命萬歲》製作的早期,樂隊成員各自把對新專輯的想法都寫在一張白板上,每一個人的想法都很激進前衛,最後,克里斯·馬丁收回了他的看法。他希望以後有機會再遊說他們。“我聽到波諾曾經說過一句話,‘樂隊不應該為錢而分裂,他們應該只為了歌曲名單而分裂’。”吉他手約翰尼說:“我們感覺自己的頭三張專輯是一個三部曲,我們已經完成了。因此,我們想要做一些不同的。”
曲風方面,《生命萬歲》反覆出現了死亡和孤獨的主題。馬丁的演唱也更真實。他說:“不管這樣好還是不好,我們已經開始在音樂里融入更多的色彩。取悅每一個人是不可能做到的。可能沒有一個人喜歡我們做的這些東西,但我們此時此刻就是想這樣做。”
