Marilyn Mastin Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I thought the Lonely Alcoholic and the Stressed Out Single Mother were the same person. She drinks because she's lonely, but no one wants to cuddle up to a lonely alcoholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emika Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Im sure its Mika .... why would it not be? Sorry but I completely disagree. I would imagine it is a stereotype of someone, not sure who, but maybe he saw someone who is "the lonely alchoholic" and decided to add to it to be over the top and the masterpiece was born. IDK though, this is just my imagination of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainbowGirl Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 i think it might be about the different people he's come across and the different characters... and he's the writer. i always imagine it like he's walking down a street and looking at all the different people going about their lives... but that's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 You're a lonely alcoholic with a tendancy to whine Well you speak it, and you drink it, and bore us all the time Say you drink out of your sorrow cos you've got no-one to love But tell me who could cuddle up to a lonely alcoholic? You're a stressed out single mother who has clearly been harrassed Well you can't predict the future, for you can't erase the past Cos your baby isn't going anywhere but up So join the line and get the dole for the stressed out single mothers I'm a mediocre writer who sings all of the time Writing songs about misfortunes and other people's crimes Well they say that I am doing my duty to the world Or you can say that that is onerous, I'm just craving to be heard Well who is there to listen to the problems of our lives? We've got kids who just don't eat enough and men with many wives If we're altogether screaming why can't we make a sound? Cos the dirt on which we're stepping is the one in which we will be found I find that the lonely alcoholic and the single mother are two different peoples. I don't know why, but the instrumental bit in between the two verses suggests to me that it's two different topics, and also because they don't really relate to each other. Like, he doesn't mix the alcoholic and the mother together. If that makes sense. I just think it's a couple of examples of how sad life can sometimes be for some people and that we all have our points of desperation (last verse). Just my opinion...

Nielo Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I think most writers don't necessarily use real persons. It might just be a personification of a feeling. (But not necessarily his feeling.) Or, it might be a real person. What the hell do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sienna Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 i think it might be about the different people he's come across and the different characters... and he's the writer. i always imagine it like he's walking down a street and looking at all the different people going about their lives... but that's just me I think so too, as a writer you're always looking for characters to build a story on, you come across someone, or just hear about a something and your imagination does the rest!

willywonka Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 It's NOT Mika! Otherwise we'd be listening to TBWDTM (The Boy Who Drank Too Much), instead... It could even be his nextdoor neighboor who throws empty bottles at Gaga whenever she visits, yelling at her: Hey, *****!, you forgot your ******* skirt!

Shine Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I think we have the answer now listen to this interview http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3312798#post3312798 Thanks a lot Marina for finding this very interesting interview:flowers2: Based on Mika words, he had a prototype in the real life (the old mean man from the local pub) whom he used to meet often. But this is just a starting-point for his lyrics. Actually, there are three separate characters: LA, Single mother and a narrator which all have the same destiny. Namely, they all crave to be heard, accepted and loved by other people. Even though he wrote three different stories they cross together in the chorus which is the climax of this deeply moving song. The autobiographical elements are in the background and not visible, but as Mika said in the Brasilian interview it had probably a lot to do with his personal life expereince.
