Some Coldplay song sounds exactly like Kraftwerk "Computerlove"

I was chillin at the pub and they had the rock station on. I think it was Coldplay, just from the lead singer's voice... but the whole melody and hook of the song was THE SAME (entire 16 bar phrase) as "Computer Love" by Kraftwerk.

Anyone else notice this? Is it supposed to be a homage?

I think the Coldplay song is "Talk".
