Well if you leave the parents out of the equasion, my interpretation of it isn't that bad. To each their own, I never said any of the other ideas were wrong. But if this is about his grandparents/parents then some lyrics don't make much sense.

Well sorry it didn't work. I'm new on this board so for starters I don't know if there has already been another thread on this song in the thousands of other threads on this forum. And I looked up the lyrics on yahoo and that was what I found and I compared it to the song whilst listening. I said what I thought it was about, I didn't know he meant it to be about his mother or his grandmother. And I didn't do that to be laughed at with your "teehee" LnrdToxic. I'm new here so give me a break.

I wanted to attempt to “decode” Stuck in the Middle and that’s what I came up with. I’d like to know how you would decode it? It’s just my opinion here! "Stuck In The Middle" I sit and think about the day that you're gonna die, 'Cause your wrinkled eyes betrayed the joy with which you smiled. Care to see my reason? Care to put your life in mine? **He is obviously mad at someone for some reason and that person is older than him as well. That person seems to be happy in the fact that he is upset about it. Therefore he asks the person to see it from his point of view. 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. **The fight seems to be that this older person is wanting him to stay as he is and not mature and change his views on certain things. But through the constant fighting he still asks to have another go but is unsure. Oh, oh, oh - Is there anybody home? Who will 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. **He wants that person or someone else who is older than him to care for him, to teach him how life is like and who will not sell him lies. He is stuck in the middle at how much he cares for this person but also how much he wants to figure things out on his own 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 'Cause 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? ** They still care but they fight together at any given time. And instead of trying to mend it that person is still piling on and piling on the situation to make him feel worse. I feel this is related towards his family in two separate ways. One can see it as an insult that was made towards him and his siblings and that person does not accept the traditional way of upbringing within that family (virginity until marriage perhaps?). Or it can be seen that this other person is a woman who is older than him who wants children but only wants one as opposed to a full family of five children. He seems to have more backing of his own relatives/family more facts and proof than the other person. This is to my name, This ain't a greater plan to break your heart of me. I know that what I've started means that when we have parted I can live in honesty. ** He doesn’t want this relationship of any kind to end but due to the circumstances there is no other choice. This person seems to have deeply betrayed him (cheated on him?). It’s somehow an illicit or forbidden relationship (no not aiming at a gay relationship but a relationship with someone much older than him). And finally when they have parted there can be honesty in his life because the pretending, lies and fights will end. So, to my opinion, it does not indicate a gay relationship but rather a relationship with an older woman who somehow tried to “control” him and make him do things he didn’t want or commit to something he didn’t want. And it was a known situation as his family backed him up on this. Read through the lyrics a few times and it’ll make more sense. (and if one wants Happy Ending might be the result of the story told in this song! Actually almost his whole album could be followed as a love story from the start of the relationship to the end (not all his songs though), worth a consideration I'd say...)

On offer: ONE ticket 26th of February Carling Academy Brixton Circle Unreserved. If you are interested PM me (first come first served of course!)

Vixen great to hear your opinions! And Scut_Monkey you amaze me! Clever people on this forum! And I'm loving all of you! PS One thing we DO know is that Mika is Sexy. There! That's a fact!

Gotta love the Monkey people! **Sends out a wave of Love to Lollipop_Monkey and Scut Monkey**

Aha! Thanks for the link up!

Lilmot I agree....! There are MORE options than just Gay, Straight or Bi! A whole lot more!

Crazy suggestion here, since we're all so keen on discussing Mika's sexuality, we could just as well discuss our own....

True! Our own interpretations will all be different and that's just fine, that's the meaning of his music I think, that we all have our own opinion of it!

Exactly! Billy Brown could refer to a friend of his, someone he knows. I see his songs as little stories, and not about him as such. Also, there are SO MANY interpretations possible for his songs that he's the only one who really know what they mean!

Most welcome!

Lollipop is giving advice to his sister so he tells her what his mama had told him when he was her age! Definitely talking to him, not her!

Thank you Scut Monkey! I'm also a Transgender activist, so I know that the line of genderidentity is a long one and if you have straight on the left and gay on the right, there are a LOT of other types in between these two points! Trust me, it's never fully black or fully white but a wide variety of gray shades! And that is what makes it all so interesting!

Frustrating thing to me is that Billy Brown is NOT gay! He's Bi! He's married and has an affair with another man BUT when he's in Mexico he get's with another girl who has the guts to tell him that he is a "victim of the times"! Please make the effort to read the lyrics completely... that might help! Let's face it we are in Modern Times where it doesn't matter what your sexual preference is anymore! A LOT of people are Bi nowadays. You fall in love with the person not their gender! I really and honestly don't see the point in this ever ongoing discussion about Mika's sexuality. I think if he read all of this he'll laugh to himself saying look at them getting all worked up about something that's not even relevant! It's normal that people wonder but that's where it should stay WE DON'T KNOW and speculating until the cows come home is not going to get us any answer what so ever!!! Mika is smart not telling, because just imagine what people's reaction would be if he did divulge his sexuality? It's already a mad house as it is! Smart guy Mika.... I really honestly don't care if he's gay, straight or bi or who knows even a virgin. Truth be told it's none of our business! And I have to say that reading the statements saying that "if Mika doesn't want to talk about his sexuality then why can't or shouldn't we?" is slightly sickening. For pete's sake, does it matter that much? NO! It doesn't and it shouldn't. If he tells us one day fine and if he doesn't fine! I'm not the one creating a big hoopla over it! As for his family.... Leave them alone unless they are at a public venue and even then still observe your manners!! If you want a picture ask them if it doesn't bother them not if they want to pose! Like a lot of people already said, they are normal people (even Mika) with their own friends. Have some respect people, that's the key thing here. RESPECT these people, they aren't animals in a zoo you know!!! And they won't perform tricks if you throw peanuts at them!

A. Clay that last pic won't work... How does he cure his drunkenness? Edit: now what's with that caption about knowing he's a bit of a bastard? (not that I have anything against it!)

he looks positively cute when sloshed! I think he's a happy drunk (who might veer off into "I love my friends Shooo very much" later on)... And he's very bendy with the wellies....

He looks totally different like that.... much older even...!

Sleighriding... Okaaaaay...... Short too short but he did look ok tho a hint tired but ok.

Funny when their FAQ state the following: Can a third party collect my tickets from the box office? No. The cardholder needs to collect and produce the credit card used to make payment and sign a receipt. This is part of the credit card merchant agreement and is in place to protect both See and the cardholder from potential credit card fraud. Back to top

LOL Babzz make it a Belgie! By the way how long does it take to get a seeticket confirmation...? It said 24 hours and I still didn't get a thing, so I think I'll better call tomorrow if I get nothing?

Pamette, i have the exact same problem, it's STUPID! I just wanted a second ticket for a friend. So not fair

Eh well no, I saw standing tickets for Apollo about an hour ago on seeticket

thanks I just checked seetickets standing in apollo is sold out so I got one standing in Brixton and depending on how things go I'll then have one extra ticket for unreserved standing, but that I'll confirm later

yeah but I'd still like to be able to see something so "standing" as seeticket sells em is that downstairs?
