ganymede Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hi, I just realised I didn't have lyrics to any of Mika's songs. So I started searching for them here and all I could find were the words to Grace Kelly. I thought it might be a good idea to gather them all in one thread. My friends from the Scissor Sisters board will recognise this. There is a thread where people transcribe new songs etc. but the important part about it is that all lyrics are added to the first post by the administrator. So you can always find them. I lifted these from the other thread here, so my post wouldn't look too bare: Grace Kelly Do I attract you? Do I repulse you with my queasy smile? Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty? Do I like what you like? I could be wholesome I could be loathsome I guess Im a little bit shy Why dont you like me? Why dont you like me without making me try? I try to be like Grace Kelly But all her looks were too sad So I try a little Freddie Ive gone identity mad! I could be brown I could be blue I could be violet sky I could be hurtful I could be purple I could be anything you like Gotta be green Gotta be mean Gotta be everything more Why dont you like me? Why dont you like me? Why dont you walk out the door! How can I help it How can I help it How can I help what you think? Hello my baby Hello my baby Putting my life on the brink Why dont yo like me Why dont you like me Why dont you like yourself? Should I bend over? Should I look older just to be put on the shelf? I try to be like Grace Kelly But all her looks were too sad So I try a little Freddie Ive gone identity mad! I could be brown I could be blue I could be violet sky I could be hurtful I could be purple I could be anything you like Gotta be green Gotta be mean Gotta be everything more Why dont you like me? Why dont you like me? Why dont you walk out the door! Say what you want to satisfy yourself But you only want what everybody else says you should want I could be brown I could be blue I could be violet sky I could be hurtful I could be purple I could be anything you like Gotta be green Gotta be mean Gotta be everything more Why dont you like me? Why dont you like me? Why dont you walk out the door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny Monkey Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life. Two kids, a dog, and then the cautionary wife. While it was all going according to plan Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man. He met his lover almost every single day Making excuses through his dodgy holiday (Unto religion that he said and duty found They didn’t know his faith was (earthy bound) Brown…Oh Billy Brown. Don’t let the stars get you down. Don’t let the waves let you drown. Brown…Oh Billy Brown. Gonna pick you up like a paper cup. Gonna shake the water out of every nook. Oh Billy Brown. Oh Billy Brown needed a place, somewhere to go. He found an island off the coast of Mexico Leaving his lover and his family behind. Oh Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind. And on his journey and his travels on the way, He met a girlie who was brave enough to say, When they made love he shared the burden of his mind. Oh Billy Brown you are a victim of the times. Brown…Oh Billy Brown. Don’t let the stars get you down. Don’t let the waves let you drown. Brown…Oh Billy Brown. Gonna pick you up like a paper cup. Gonna shake the water out of every nook. Oh Billy Brown. Brown…Oh Billy Brown. Gonna pick you up like a paper cup. Gonna shake the water out of every nook. Oh Billy Brown. Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life.

Cautionary Wife Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Ah.... Took a ride to the end of the line Where no one ever goes. Ended up on a broken train with nobody I know. But the pain and the longings the same. When you’re dying Now I’m lost and I’m screaming for help. Relax, take it easy For there is nothing that we can do. Relax, take it easy Blame it on me or blame it on you. It’s as if I’m scared. It’s as if I’m terrified. It’s as if I scared. It’s as if I’m playing with fire. Scared. It’s as if I’m terrified. Are you scared? Are we playing with fire? Relax There is an answer to the darkest times. It’s clear we don’t understand it but the last thing on my mind Is to leave you", [EDIT] I believe that we’re in this together. Don’t scream – there are so many roads left. Relax, take it easy For there is nothing that we can do. Relax, take it easy Blame it on me or blame it on you. Relax, take it easy For there is nothing that we can do. Relax, take it easy Blame it on me or blame it on you. Relax, take it easy For there is nothing that we can do. Relax, take it easy Blame it on me or blame it on you. Relax, take it easy For there is nothing that we can do. Relax, take it easy Blame it on me or blame it on you. It’s as if I’m scared. It’s as if I’m terrified. It’s as if I scared. It’s as if I’m playing with fire. Scared. It’s as if I’m terrified. Are you scared? Are we playing with fire? Relax Relax Relax Ah... Relax Ah.... ----- PS Not 100% on the part after "It's clear we don't understand... if anyone can improve on tha? CW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cautionary Wife Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I really can't vouch for lyrics of this song - found on the web.... Think there will be a few corrections but it's a start point? Stuck In The Middle I sit and think about the day that you’re gonna die, ‘Cos your wrinkled eyes betrayed the joy with which you smiled. Care to see my reason? Care to put your life in mine? Looking at life from the perspective of a boy Who’s learnt to love you but has also learned to grow. Could we make it better, stormy weather, So I dunno. Oh, oh, oh – Is there anybody home? Who’ll believe me, won’t deceive me, who’ll try to teach me? Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home? Who wants to have me, just to love me? Stuck in the middle. I look at you, You look at me, We bite each other. And with your better words you kick me in the gutter. But my troops are bigger than yours ‘Cos you’ll never stand my fight. Ours is a family that’s based upon tradition But with my careless words I tread upon your vision. Are five kids better than one, who’d busy like to be gone? Oh, oh, oh – Is there anybody home? Who’ll believe me, won’t deceive me, who’ll try to teach me? Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home? Who wants to have me, just to love me? Stuck in the middle. Yea...Yea...Yea... This is to my name, This ain’t a pretty plan to break your heart of me. I know that what I’ve started means that when we have parted I can live in all this (stench?). Oh, oh, oh – Is there anybody home? Who’ll believe me, won’t deceive me, who’ll try to teach me? Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home? Who wants to have me, just to love me? Stuck in the middle, Stuck in the middle, Stuck in the middle, Stuck in the middle. CW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cautionary Wife Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 'My Attempt' at these lyrics... well it's a start. Please feel free to suggest corrections or alternatives? MY INTERPRETATION You talk about life and talk about death And everything in-between like it’s nothing And words are easy You talk about me, you talk about you And everything I do Like it’s something that needs repealing I don’t need an alibi, or for you to realize The things we left unsaid Are only taking space up in our heads Make it my fault, win the game Point the finger, place the blame And curse me up and down It doesn’t matter now ‘Cos I don’t care if ever talk to you again This is not about emotion I don’t need a reason not to tell What you say or what will happen in end This is my interpretation And it don’t, don’t make sense The first two weeks turn into ten I hold my breath and wonder when it’ll happen Does it really matter? If half of what you said is true And half of what I didn’t do Could be different And would make you better If we forget the things we know Could have somewhere to go If the only way is down I can see them now ‘Cos I don’t care if I every talk to you again This is not about emotion I don’t need a reason not to tell What you say or what will happen in the end This is my interpretation And it don’t, don’t make sense And it don’t have to make no sense to you at all ‘Cos this is my interpretation …. yeah, yeah (?)
