Music - Coldplay Statement

Chris Martin 'simply forgot' he was married to Gwyneth Paltrow, says agent

Chris Martin, currently on tour promoting a long titled album, later confirmed he had 'simply forgot' he was married to Gwyneth Paltrow. He recalled dating her a few years back, but he said he has had little contact with the weeping actress in recent years. "We drifted apart and went our seperate ways," said the lightbulb-swirling star. "

I was reminded by our drummer that I was in fact married to her after watching a news clip from the Cannes film festival and I saw a skinny blonde on stilts. I remember thinking 'pwhoar' and how I'd like to get to know her better. 'It's your wife' I was reliably informed. We had a 'slight row' and I left the room immediately, but came back after an hour and agreed that I probably had married her at some stage," added Chris. I had to write a song about it:

Rocket Scientist

I'll come up and meet you, tell you I'm sorry, I thought we had split up years ago
I had forgotten you, thought we'd agreed to, spending the rest of our lives apart
Did we marry in secret? Press ask lots of questions. Oh let's go back and make a fresh start
Decreasing circles, my memory fails
It's not really rocket science at all

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame I can't remember
Nobody said it was easy
I'm thinking it was sometime in December?
Ohh take my back in your arms

(It's building up nicely - add drums - switch on lighters and sway - altogether now)

I was just guessin', at dates, but it figures, putting the puzzles together
Questions of marriage, marriage aint progress, we need to speak now or never ever again
You say that you love me, the press like to taunt me, oh you just sent a rush to my heart
Neverending circles, it's heads or tails, you know we can't stay as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Aww It’s such a shame I can't recall
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it that I wouldn't be able to ever grapple
We have kids called Moses and Apple
