I can't believe someone wouldn't have started a thread already but on the unlikely chance that they haven't.....

 

Let's do it!! :naughty:

 

---------------------

As of September 3

---------------------

 

I look for joy in a strange place

From the back of the bar

From afar

I see the look on my mama’s face

When her son's in the corner, undone

 

She says that my life is over

But boy, you don't know what you got till it's gone

Come put your head upon my shoulder

She gave me her hand, but I ignored her

 

Oh, Dr. John

What am I doing

What am I doing I wrong?

‘Cause I keep on trying

Something ain't going

Something ain't going on

Oh, Dr. John

 

I look for joy in a strange place

From the back of a bar

From afar

I see the look on my daddy's face

When his son's fallin’ over, undone

 

Well Father my life is over

Well I didn't know what I had now it's gone

Can I lay my head upon your shoulder?

If I fall asleep, will it be over?

 

Oh, Dr. John

What am I doing

What am I doing I wrong?

‘Cause I keep on trying

Something ain't going

Something ain't going on

 

Oh, Dr. John

What am I doing

What am I doing I wrong?

‘Cause I keep on trying

Something ain't going

Something ain't going on

 

They say I'm a big heartbreaker

But Doctor, I never hurt you

Isn't it obvious?

 

Oh, Dr. John

What am I doing

What am I doing I wrong?

 

‘Cause I keep on trying

Something ain't going

Something ain't going on

 

(Another day, another break up)

Oh, Dr. John

(Hold on, and on, Hold on, and on)

 

I keep on trying

(Another day, another wake up)

 

We hold on, and on

We hold on, and on

 

Oh, Dr. John

(Another day, another wake up)

 

We hold on, and on

We hold on, and on

(Another day, another wake up)

 

(I keep on trying)

We hold on, and on

We hold on, and on

 

Oh, Dr. John

What am I doing

What am I doing wrong?

I keep on trying

Something ain't going

Something ain't going on

 

Dr. John

 

Ooh, ooh, ooh

 

Dr. John.

See the look on his momma's face

She says that my life is over

Boy you don't know what you got till it's gone

Come put your head upon my shoulder

She gave me her hand but I ignore her

What am I doing

What am I doing wrong

Cause I Keep on trying...

Something ain't going, something ain't going on

Dr John

 

I look for joy in a strange place

From the back of a bar

From afar

I see the look on my Daddy's face

Can I lay my head upon your shoulder

If I fall asleep will it be over

 

oh Dr. Johhhhhhn

thx so much for these.. :thumb_yello:

 

still dunno what've the mad chickens or whatever, got to do with it, but maybe I'm missing the poetry of it all.. :blink:

 

I love the mellody though and the lyrics seem pretty poignant to me, unless I am misuderstanding them completely.. :teehee:

I'm loving what I am hearing so far. A lot of people were comparing Dr. John with Billy Brown a while ago (I suppose it's the storytelling), but I think this is the Stuck in the middle of the bunch. Very personal and typical Mika happy tune sad lyrics.

Did I say that I love it yet?:wub2::naughty:

 

Oh, and thanks to the people that are trying to get the lyrics, I couldn't do it in a million years:blink:

O000ooooooo000 me loves this one too, thanx for the lyrics so far peeps (tho I hear HUNT not look, but maybe I am a bit of an animal lol).

 

I agree that this is more like SITM-ish but do you think the character is Holy Jonny (well same name after all)

 

It is very catchy but then so are a lot of M's songs I still love TB but I think BE would make a EXCELLENT summer single it has a holiday sound and feel to it.

Thanks to everybody who put the song and then the lyrics here :thumb_yello:

 

You guys are just amazing :wub2: It's really nice to be part of such group of loyal fans :wink2:

 

I liked Dr. John a lot and I tend to agree with who said that is like SITM. A happy music with sad or deep lyrics. This is the biggest mark of Mika. He keeps saying deep things in such sweet way that you almost forget the sadness there.
