Good Gone Girl - Lyrics and discussion

[forevermika]

about this whole Georgia thing...

 

I write poems sometimes and I've noticed that on occasion my brain will get infested with a certain word for a period of time and it ends up in a lot of my writing.

[bonzaboy]

Been listening to this one a bit... I think I hear in the second verse:

 

Could you believe

The same old families

*something*

That you've *something* all before

Her name was April

But she was [hateful?]

He wanted to make her want to

Walk right out the door

[suzie]

about this whole Georgia thing...

 

I write poems sometimes and I've noticed that on occasion my brain will get infested with a certain word for a period of time and it ends up in a lot of my writing.

 

It has some kind of 60s feeling attached to it..and has several meanings, too. A state, a country, a female name.

 

The song wouldn't work with Washington DC, would it:cool:

[neeve272]

I love this song! I think it's my favourite.

 

About the title, well, in this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9SQj_YmqsQ (I'm sorry, I don't know whose it is) Mika introduces it as Good Gone Girl.... (at 0:32 ) so it has to be correct I think!

I defo agree with this, I immediately thought of the Beach Boys with the OoO-ing part. I really like this one, I can't hear it well though unfortunetly, so can't make out hardly any lyrics but apart from what's already been said, I can hear the following:

 

SHE HAD PNEUMONIA, CALIFORNIA, CHAMPAGNE TOWERS, SUGAR DADDY, AND that SHE WAS 17 WITH A GOOD GIRL DREAM

 

in there somewhere lol, not necessarily in that order. I can't wait to hear it propely and know the lyrics, I love lyrics of a song just as much and sometimes even MORE than the tune etc.

Thanks, Neeve -- I hadn't seen that! I stand corrected

I guess Mika knows what he's named the song.

 

So I've been listening and listening and these lyrics are REALLY hard

to hear! Here's all I have so far, not much more than what you all

have already come up with -- still lots of blanks to fill in, and probably

lots of misheard lyrics... but it's fun to try!

 

Good Gone Girl

 

Could you believe the same old story

It (bores me) though I've heard it all before

Her name was Georgia and she was gorgeous

When she had all the (...) get to know

(...)

(...)

(...) show ya

in a rush to get to know ya

(...fancy...)

(...) play guitar

(...) got to warn ya

gonna make it out of California

 

I am not a good girl

I am doing this (....)

This girl gone good

(...) and I feel

One day (....)

17

(...)

 

ooooooooo girl gone good

 

Would you believe the same old phonies

those major (...)

(...) that you've heard 'em all before

Her name was April but she was hateful

Enough to make you want to run right out the door

(...)

(...) champagne toast

(...)

Don't you know that it's complicated

(...)

(...)

(...) sugar daddy but it just don't matter

 

I am not a good girl

I am doing this (...)

Good gone girl

(...) and I feel

one day

(...) 17

(good gone girl)

 

ooooooooo

 

Good gone girl

And you are even talking the same language as this little teaser boy does!

 

Yes it is really hard to hear, I think you've done a good job so far!

We will have to borrow some equipment from the CSI or something; you know where they can slow down the pace of an audio recording and listen carefully!

[dilek]

oh thanks! that's enough to bumble the song at least:cheerful_h4h:

it gets really funny in slow motion though:mf_rosetinted:

I think your right about the "gotta warn ya" part it makes more sense than what I thought I heard which was PNEUMONIA lol. I got the sugar daddy part and the champagne part but I thought I heard champagne towers (I was seeing those champagne waterfalls they do at extravagant party's etc. I heard a the bit that she was 17 and good girl dream too. But dunno where it fits.

Like a jigsaw puzzle I have a few pieces, but I don't know if they fit

[Ruth]

I love listening over and over.

When I was young, it's how we wrote the lyrics for everything

[dcdeb]

Like a jigsaw puzzle I have a few pieces, but I don't know if they fit

 

Ooh, desperate hunter -- that fits for sure! Thanks Kata -- and it is like

a jigsaw puzzle I find if I write down what I think he's singing, and then

look at that and try to get an idea of what the song is actually about, then

my head tries to fit words to the sounds I'm hearing...

 

I love listening over and over.

When I was young, it's how we wrote the lyrics for everything

 

Exactly, Ruth -- me too! Guess that's why I like the challenge of doing

this here!

Funny, you try to understand, that He sings... Amusing language))).

[guylainem123]

I love listening over and over.

When I was young, it's how we wrote the lyrics for everything

 

oh i remember doing that too! then this magazine came out every month and had lyrics to popular songs. (i think it was called Hit Parade) i'd save my money to buy that too. don't forget, i spoke mainly french at that time, so understanding was a big issue as well

it kept me busy for hours!!!

[England]

I was listening to the song a few times and this is what I heard:

 

"could you believe it?

a same old story

______

_______

 

her name was Georgia

and she was gorgeous

and she had _____to get to know

 

hey whats a good girl like you

doing in this crazy world?

so she don't know...

________

 

oooooOOOooooOOooo

Good Gone Girl....

 

would you beleive me?

the same old story

_______

 

her name was sacred

but she was hateful

he doesn't want to make her

walk right out the door

 

________

_______

 

whats a _____

doing in this world?

she don't know

___

she was only 17

in a dream

 

ooooOOOoooOO

Good Gone Girl

ooooOOOooooOO

Good Gone Girl

OOOoooOOoooO

Good Gone Girl"

 

I couldn't hear alot of it, so the "_______" are the blanks:naughty:

don't really think this is right though:bleh:

 

its really interesting to see what other people hear from just listening to the song:D

[forevermika]

I immediately thought of the Beach Boys with the OoO-ing part.

 

I thought of that too

quote mika's twitter;

 

'Mad rush finishing off mixes, new parts being written and recorded down to the wire. Titles being changed, lyrics being scrapped'

 

yay! that means when we've discussed this stuff to death, we can start all over again!

I changed a bit before. That's what I hear.

Thanks Deb.................I have taken your versions for all the songs.....I will now print them out and sing along with my songsheet:roftl:

 

Thank you very much.

 

BTW, I agree.....very Beach Boyish in my opinion:thumb_yello:

Oh, don't take this version

 

I'm still struggling with it. There are so many gaps...
