Both my son and I have an affinity with Coldplay. The other day I received a text from him:- ‘the scientist’ ‘Charlie Brown’ had a ‘rush of blood to the head’ as his plane took off from ‘Amsterdam’ to visit ‘the princess of China’ in her wonderland. I couldn't help adding more to the story. He then went on to add yet more, after which it became an ongoing text match. Here's the finished text:

‘Daylight’ begun, with the ‘low’ ‘yellow’ sun ‘up in flames’, as it rose ‘up with the birds’ on ‘Violet hill’, ‘the scientist’ ‘Charlie Brown’ had a ‘rush of blood to the head’ as his plane took off from ‘Amsterdam’ to visit ‘the princess of China’ in her wonderland. As the pilot spoke saying we will be travelling at ‘high speed’ today, ‘Charlie Brown’ looked deep into the air hosteses ‘green eyes’ and said, do we have any ‘parachutes’ ‘in my place’? ‘Yes’, ‘dont panic’, ‘everythings not lost’ she said with ‘a whisper’ which stopped his ‘shiver’. The air hostess thought, ‘god put a smile upon your face’.

In midflight, the ‘warning sign’ came on above. ‘The scientist’ put down his work where his ‘twisted logic’ helped him to find coordinates ‘x & y’, and ‘a message’ came from the tannoy. We are ‘lost’. ‘The hardest part’ of being a pilot is travelling at the ‘speed of sound’ without an ’atlas’.

A passengers spotted ‘Sparks’ coming out of the engine while playing eye ‘spies’ and looking for a ‘UFO’, we’re in ‘trouble’. ‘Charlie Brown’ always wanted to be burried in the ‘cemeteries of London’... he thought, ‘what if’ i can use my ‘christmas lights’ to fix the plane. ‘The scientist’ crawled on the wing to the engine and started to ‘talk’ to himself, this ‘hurts like heaven’, i’ll ‘fix you’ untill ‘kindom come’, suddenly... ‘viva la vida’, he fixed it and the plane could now fly into ‘paradise’. He had saved the ‘42’ passengers from being ‘swallowed in the sea’.
