I retroscena di Mylo Xyloto

È poi presente la prima bozza del testo di Major Minus, che sembra essere l'evoluzione di una vecchia demo, risalente al periodo Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends e intitolata The Man Who Swears Pt. 1:

There's a man who swears he's God
But I'm pretty sure hes not
There's a man who walks around
Like he owns the fucking lot
Takes his five
a playing with your mind
Crocodile clock
You must
It's just work it's not heasy/hard
All the while
Tell you that you're climbing
pulling the ladder apart
Saw the
boss hogg

Successivamente, si può scorgere una delle prime stesure delle lyrics di Every Teadrop Is A Waterfall, la quale recita così:

So they came to try and break us
so they came to break us all
What they don't know they can hurt us
every teardrop is a waterfall
you can break, break my back
hurt hurt me bad
Still I'll raise that/the/my flag
Come on

Un'altra bozza, quasi definitiva, del primo singolo estratto da Mylo Xyloto è disponibile in un'altra pagina:

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And every tear, every tear
Every tear will dry them all/for
Every tear every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
(optional in chorus 1: oh, oh, oh
And you can hurt, hurt me bad
Still I'll raise the flag)
X
X
X
oh oh oh oh oh oh
Every tear every tear every tear
to be a waterfall
Every tear every tear every teardrop is
a waterfall
Yeah you can hurt, hurt me bad
Still I'll raise the flag
Still we'll raise the flag
(They can hurt hurt me bad
Come on/Still you'll raise the flag)

Proseguendo con la lettura degli estratti del diario di Chris, si scopre anche il primo testo di Hurts Like Heaven, datato 7 giugno 2010:

It was written in graffiti on a bridge in the park
"Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark"
It's so cold it's so cold, it's so cold it's so cold
It was scratched up in/written a marker on a factory sign
"I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine"
There are people out to get us trying to tear us apart
(there are (lions) spot disguising leopards switching-their-spat)
took/take the fire from my belly and the
beat from my heart
Still I can't let go still I can't let go
You...you do
You use your heart as a weapon and it hurts like heaven
Every day somebody coming try to dampen your frame
On every street, every sidecar, every pavement and train
On every street and every sidecar I'll be writing my name
don't let 'em/they want to take control don't let 'em take control
Yes I feel tense and nervous, yes I feel nervous and I can't relax
how come they're out to get us how come they hunt us 
when they don't know the facts
But on a concrete canvas I'll be making my mark
On a concrete canvas under cover of dark
armed with a spray can soul
I'll be armed with a spray can soul
(Instru. "You")
You - ooh ooh when you use your heart as a weapon
it H.L.H., oh it's true when...
it Hurts Like Heaven it Hurts Like Heaven (ad infinitum)

Per la verità, il testo soprastante è molto simile a quello finale, ma è molto interessante una frase (quasi una sorta di sottotitolo), scritta a margine delle parole del brano: Freedom of tought and expression.
