i wonder who has heard this. it makes me cry

 

 

if the link dosent work hear are the lyrics

 

 

Running out of breath

Chasing down the big parade, rising 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, me

 

Don't make me out to be this helpless child of misery, maybe love is what I need

but not your sympathy

 

In and out of space, I'm always somewhere in between,

I try to make commands but instead I make a mess of things, for me

 

I try paint by numbers, but nothing's black and white to me

 

Don't make me out to be this helpless child of misery, maybe love is what I need

but not your sympathy

 

Nothing and no one can make your lies the truth, and no one can stand inside your shoes but you

 

Don't make me out to be this helpless child misery, maybe love is what I need

but not your sympathy

but not your sympathy

I think, considering this is the MFC, most of the people on here have heard it:naughty: But it is really beautiful:thumb_yello:

I loved this song when I first heard it :wub2: (I still do) but I would listen to it on my ipod before I went to sleep.

It's on some versions of the album -- I think the Japanese edition?

 

And I just wanted to say about the lyrics:

 

In and out of space, I'm always somewhere in between,

I try to make commands but instead I make a mess of things, for me

 

It's "try to make AMENDS" not commands :)

 

We have the actual lyrics posted here:

Yes, it's such a beautiful song...

It fits in well with an acceptance theme...

And yes, haunting is a great word for it

I don't know why he didn't put this song on all versions of LICM - I would go so far as to say it's a stronger track than "Erase". But yes, it is available on the Japanese release. :thumb_yello:

Love the song :wub2:

I'm glad I bought the Japanese LICM (although I didn't know the song before I bought it :blush-anim-cl: Just bought it for Ring Ring & Erase).

It's a gorgeous song. I'd love to hear him sing it live. I understand it's on some version of LICM, probably a foreign version, but it's really brilliant, and shows his lower tones off so well.

pft, if there's one thing that's makes me angry about Mika's gig is WHY the heck you've to sing always some songs only {&in the same order!} while the album was sold in different versions not available in all the countries unless you're willing to pay too much on ebay:sneaky2:

 

I'd love to hear Your Sympathy live{and others..and ACUSTIC}:crybaby:

I played this song for a friend last week and she (not a Mika fan) said "That's either really funny or really sad." I was just a little bit indignant. I hadn't thought of it as funny certainly but I hadn't even really thought of it as sad, just beautiful. I love the tune but I really love the lyrics, I just think sometimes he puts things in such a poetic way. You could express exactly the same sentiments in a different way and it wouldn't even come close to beautiful.

Whoops. I just remembered it wasn't Your Sympathy I played to her. It was one of the unmentionables.
