Official Mika Songs Lyrics

this is a promise I made to some forum member when i ordered the japanese version of LICM that contains the official lyrics to all songs.

I'll skip o.c. grace kelly, love today, lollipop, cause they are in the european/american version as well.

I'll type the others and copy and past here also stuck in the middle, graciously provided by blue sky a while back, so members can find all lyrics in one thread.

pls allow a little time for it.

here we go

MY INTERPRETATION.

you talk about life and talk about death

and everything in between, like it's nothing

and the words are easy

you talk about me, you talk about you

and everything I do

like it's something that needs repeating

I don't need an alibi

or for you to realise 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 blaime

and curse me up and down

it doesn't matter now

cuz I don't care if I ever talk to you again

this is not about emotion

I don't need a reason

not to care what you say

or what happened in the end

this is my interpretation

and it don't make sense

the first 2 weeks turn into 10

I hold my breath and wonder when will it happen

does it really matter?

if half of what I say it's true

and half of what I didn't do

could be different

would it make it better?

if we forget the things we know

would we have somewhere to go?

the only way is down

and I can see that now

cuz I don't care if I ever talk to you again

this is not about emotion

I don't need a reason

not to care what you say

or what happened in the end

this is my interpretation

and it don't make sense

it's really not such a sacrifice

if I never talk to you again

this is not about emotion

I don't need a reason...

Avoca you are very committed to do this. Everyone will really appreciate this

BUT

I will let you in on a little secret. Google all the lyrics first, then copy and past them and alter the bits that need fixing. It is far less work!!

From the Control C Control V Queen!!

I am known to take always the longest way to reach things.. I am a lost cause

seriously, thx for the tip, blue sky just typed relax though.

RELAX

took a ride

to the end of the night

where no one ever goes

ended up on a broken train

with nobody I know

but the pain

and longing's the same when you're dying

now I'm lost

and I am screaming for help on my own

relax, take it easy

for there is nothing that we can do

relax, take it easy

blaime it on me or blaime it on you

it's as if I am scared

it's as if I am terrified

it's as if I am scared

it's as if I'm playing with fire

oh, there is an answer to the darkest times

it's clear, we don't understand it

but the last thing on my mind

it's to leave you

I believe that we're in this together

don't scream

there are so many roads left to run

relax, take it easy

for there is nothing that we can do

relax, take it easy

blaime it on me or blaime it on you

it's as if I am scared

it's as if I am terrified

it's as if I am scared

it's as if I'm playing with fire

the relax lyrics seem rather strange. i think they could be misprinted. heck, even lollipop is misprinted.

HOWEVER, in "my interpretation" ... "the first 2 weeks turn into 10" i knew that was right!

RING RING

I was sitting on the fence

and I thought that I would kiss you

I never thought that I would miss you

but you never let me fall

push my back against the wall

every time that you call you get so eomotional

I'm freaking out

ring ring

is that you on the phone?

you think you're clever

but you're never saying nothing at all

hey hey

the way you spin me around

you make me dizzy

when you play me like a kid with a crown

you've got a dangerous obsession

now I'm in need of some protection

that was never my intention

used to love me now you hate me

say I drove you crazy

well if I did, you made

won't somebody save me

from you now!

ring ring

is that you on the phone?

you think you're clever

but you're never saying nothing at all

hey hey

the way you spin me around

you make me dizzy

when you play me like a kid with a crown

it's what I wanted

until you blasted it

why can't you leave me alone?

hang up the phone just let me go!

ring ring

is that you on the phone?

you think you're clever

but you're never saying nothing at all

hey hey

the way you spin me around

you make me dizzy

when you play me like a kid with a crown

HOWEVER, in "my interpretation" ... "the first 2 weeks turn into 10" i knew that was right!

I take no responsability of what I write, I just type what's in the official booklet

ANY OTHER WORLD

in any other world

you could tell the difference

and let it all unfurl

into broken remnants

smile like you mean it

and let yourself let go

cuz it's all in the hands

of a bitter, bitter man

say goodbye

to the world you thought you lived in

take a bow, play the part

of a lonely, lonely heart

say goodbye

to the world you thought you lived in

I tried to live alone

but lonely is so lonely alone

so human as I am

I had to give up my defences

so I smile and try to mean it

to let myself let go

cuz it's all in the hands

of a bitter, bitter man

say goodbye

to the world you thought you lived in

take a bow, play the part

of a lonely, lonely heart

say goodbye

to the world you thought you lived in

I take no responsability of what I write, I just type what's in the official booklet

oh i know. im not blaming you in any way lol! i was just saying that what is written down in the booklet just sounds VERY different on what he says in the song on certain parts. it's seen in "lollipop" in the UK booklet

BILLY BROWN

oh, billy brown had lived an ordinary life

two kids, a dog and a cautionary wife

while it was all going accordingly to plan

then billy brown fell in love with another man

he met his lover almost every single day

making excuses for his dodgy holiday

on some religion that he said he'd newly found

they didn't know that his faith was earthly 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 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

then on his journey and his travels on the way

he met a girly that 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 paper cup

gonna shake the water out of every nook

oh billy brown!

oh, billy brown had lived an ordinary life

two kids, a dog and a cautionary wife

while it was all going accordingly to plan

then billy brown fell in love with another man

BIG GIRL (YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL)

walks into the room

feels like a big balloon

I said "hey girl, you are beautiful"

"diet coke and a pizza please"

diet coke! I'm on my knees

screaming "big girl you are beautiful!"

you take your skinny girl

I feel like I am gonna die

cuz a real woman

needs a real man

here's why:

you take your girl

and multiply it by 4

that's a whole lot of woman

who needs a whole lot more

get yourself to the butterfly lounge

find yourself a big lady

big boy come on round

and they'll be calling you "baby"

no need to fantasies

since I was in braces

of a watering hole where the girls are round

and curves in all the right places

big girl you are beautiful!

big girl you are beautiful!

oh i know. im not blaming you in any way lol! i was just saying that what is written down in the booklet just sounds VERY different on what he says in the song on certain parts. it's seen in "lollipop" in the UK booklet

Yep, I don't actually know which booklet do I have, but there are only some lyrics, and "lollipop" is quite strange, for example, "Jesus wants her, she wants more" instead of "Jesus loves her, she wants more". And is there really phrases like "love's gonna let you down"? I thought it was always "love's gonna get you down"

exactly lol

"oh bad girls get you down" --> "oh love's gonna let her down"

O.o

as for Big Girl...i was pretty sure he said:

"no need to fanatsise since i was in my braces" like the lyrics say, but i dont get it..?

YOUR SIMPATHY

running out of breath

chasing down the big parade

raising up my hand

thought I'd beg the marching band

to play for me

all of these illusions

they really mean the world to me

don't make me out to be

this helpless child of misery

maybe love is what I need

but not your simpathy

in and out of space

I'm always somewhere in between

I try to make amends

but instead I make a mess of things

for me

I try to paint by numbers

but nothing's black and white for me

don't make me out to be

this helpless child of misery

maybe love is what I need

but not your simpathy

nothing and no one

can make your lies the truth

but no one

can stand inside your shoes

don't make me out to be

this helpless child of misery

maybe love is what I need

but not your simpathy

exactly lol

"oh bad girls get you down" --> "oh love's gonna let her down"

 

O.o

as for Big Girl...i was pretty sure he said:

"no need to fanatsise since i was in my braces" like the lyrics say, but i dont get it..?

i've noticed quite a lot of that too.. its just either misprints or mika's lchanging the words a bit he kinda does that when he sings live

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE (courtesy of blue sky)

I sit and think about the day that you’re gonna die,

your wrinkled eyes betrayed the joy with which you smile.

Care to see my reason?

Care to put your life in mine?

Looking at life from the perspective of a boy

Who’s learned to love you but has also learned to grow.

Could we make it better,

Stormy weather is so hard to know.

Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home?

Who will believe me,

won’t deceive me,

won't try to change 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 bitter words you kick me in the gutter.

But my troops are bigger than yours

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 doesn't lie to become?

Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home?

Who will believe me,

won’t deceive me,

won't try to change me?

Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home?

Who wants to have me,

just to love me?

Stuck in the middle.

Yeah...Yeah...Yeah...

This is just who I am,

This ain’t a greater plan

to break your heart over me.

I know that what I’ve started

means that when we have parted

I can live in honesty

ah, ah, ah is there anybody home?

Who will believe me,

won’t deceive me,

won't try to change 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

You're doing a wonderful job avoca

Hmmm some of this really seems a bit strange

i've noticed quite a lot of that too.. its just either misprints or mika's lchanging the words a bit he kinda does that when he sings live

many singers vary lyrics when they sing live, but what make me think are the lyrics different in the actual CD version..

if they printed wrong lyrics after all this typing..

if they printed wrong lyrics after all this typing..

its ok avoca u did a good job anyway

we can't do much about the lyric situation but as long as we know how to sing along and it sounds the same as what he sings its all good

ERASE

I shouldn't have called so late last night

all insecure, out of my mind

I shouldn't have left that message on your phone

I shouldn't have said the things I said

looking for love we left for dead

in a grave, without a stone

as soon as you hear my voice

don't hesitate

put your finger on the button..

erase, my love

I bet you can't erase my touch

you're trying to replace

a feeling without a name

with someobody's else's face

in your head

everything's cool

your rent is paid

the house is clean

your bed is made

but it's a ghost town in your mind

we never had time to go to sleep

we'd wake up tangled in the sheets

on a bed that we called home

when the pain won't go away

you might as well

put your finger on the trigger

erase, my love

I bet you can't erase my touch

you're trying to replace

a feeling without a name

with someobody's else's face

in your head

erase

HAPPY ENDING

this is the way you left me

I'm not pretending

no hope, no love, no glory

no happy ending

this is the way that we love

like it's forever

then live the rest of our lives

but not together

wake up in the morning

stumble out my eyes

can't get no love without sacrifice

if anything should happen

I guess I'd wish you well

a little of heaven

but a little bit of hell

this is the hardest story

that I have ever told

no hope, no love, no glory

happy endings, gone forever more

I feel as if I am wasted

I'm wasting every day

this is the way you left me

I'm not pretending

no hope, no love, no glory

no happy ending

this is the way that we love

like it's forever

then live the rest of our lives

but not together

2 o'clock in the morning

something's on my mind

can't get no rest

keep walking around

if I pretend that nothing ever went wrong

I could get to my sleep

I could think that we just carried on

this is the hardest story

that I have ever told

no hope, no love, no glory

happy endings, gone forever more

I feel as if I am wasted

I'm wasting every day

this is the way you left me

I'm not pretending

no hope, no love, no glory

no happy ending

this is the way that we love

like it's forever

then live the rest of our lives

but not together

A little bit of love

uhhhhh! Nice! Thanks!

OVER MY SHOULDER

over my shoulder

running away

feels like I'm falling

loosing my day

cold

dry

cold and dry

fork out my daylight

torture my soul

feels like I'm falling

far out of sight

cold

drunk

tought and lost

over my shoulder

running away

feels like I'm falling

loosing my day

cold

dry

cold and dry

fork out my daylight

torture my soul

feels like I'm falling

far out of sight

cold

drunk

cold and drunk

Thank you for doing this, Avoca!

Over My Shoulder:
