What did Chris Martin sing?


I don't think anyone will remember but Chris Martin changed part of the lyrics of "Politik" and I couldn't understand what he was singing about. Was he saying something about the weather being rainy and awful??
Thanks!!!!

OK, so this is kind of an old post, but I just thought I'd respond since I've just seen it:

At one point he changed the words to: "Best festival in history!" or something like that, and the crowd went mad. I'm not sure if he changed anyhting else, but maybe that's the line you're thinking of.

Politik was the second song. During the second verse he sang:

Give me weather that does no harm,
Michael Eavis and Worthy Farm,
Give me mud up to my knee
The best festival in history
