kittycatmikasnumber1fan Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotdlp Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I loved this song when I first heard it (I still do) but I would listen to it on my ipod before I went to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 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: http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6494&page=2 dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 i love this song. musically, i prefer "Erase" but lyrically i think they're both hauntingly beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabdash Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yes, it's such a beautiful song... It fits in well with an acceptance theme... And yes, haunting is a great word for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Love the song I'm glad I bought the Japanese LICM (although I didn't know the song before I bought it Just bought it for Ring Ring & Erase). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

greta Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 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} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of the unmentionables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
