lovempls Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 thanks for that !It almost reads to me like a mother who didnt want her son dating another man "Didn't want you sleeping with a boy too long" could be a daughter, too.... doesn't have to be a son.

Ruth Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Well I'm having a lovely morning. THREE new songs. And while we're waiting for the full version, I want to say thanks for this VVVVVVVV Please correct these if they're wrong, thanks!I’m a wind-up toy in an up down world If you leave me all alone, I’ll make a mess for sure I’ve a heart of gold and the smartest styles Leave me in the dark, you’ll never hear me cry More than an illustration Points of articulation Come to life on a brass spring Such a wonderful plaything It’s a cruel cross that I have to bear Come a little close I’m going to pull your hair More than just a toy in a patch-blue suit Hold me in your arms I’m just a boy like you But your mama thought there was somethin’ wrong Didn’t want you sleeping with a boy too long It’s a serious thing in a grown-up world Maybe you’d be better with a Barbie girl You were that I adored-ah But you left me in Georgia Toys are not sentimental How could I be for rental? She’s the meanest hag that has ever been Pulled out my insides with an old safety pin I’m the sorest sight, now I feel like trash Clothes are made of rags and they don’t even match So she dressed me up as the man she loved Then threw me in a box when she had had enough Now the light of day I no longer see She stuck her voodoo pins where my eyes used to be Accidentally tragic Victim of her black magic How’d a boy who’d so loved you Now be so afraid of you? ... And I love that he says 'brass' like a northerner (like me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droopsy Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Thanks for the lyrics! The song makes a lot more sense now! I like the way it's written as well... It sounds oh so funny but the meaning behind it can be very 'darkish' idd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikas_gal07 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 "Didn't want you sleeping with a boy too long" could be a daughter, too.... doesn't have to be a son. No it doesnt , but i got that impression from these lines .... hold me in your arms I'm just a boy like you but your mama thought there was something wrong didn't want you sleeping with a boy too long it's a serious thing you've *can'thear* maybe you'd be better with a barbie girl ... My interpretation is probably wrong anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooooooooooooooh! Mika is a male doll! I get it now! Wow, you are a genius lyrical transcriber. There were heaps I couldn't get, but now thanks to you I hear them One little typo I noticed and that's it. *urges Nono's internet/youtube to hurry* The Georgia is a girl theory is interetsing, but he clearly says IN Georgia, and ... okay I don't want to think about how that might be techinically possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinghorse83 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 FOUR new songs "Good Gone Girl" "Clap song" "Toy Boy" "Blue Eyes" maybe we need to open a 'toy boy' thread and move our discussion of the song into there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 maybe i'm generally interpeting too little - but, judging from the lyrics you wrote down, couldn't it be that the song is just written from the point of view of a male toy doll? anyway that's the first thing i see in it. the boy isn't allowed to sleep with his male doll anymore, he leaves it in georgia, then it is sold (?) to a girl who destroys it. damn, what am i doing here, have to work! thanx for the report + videos!! *is off again* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 shoot, this song takes amazing to a whole new level. i'm really in love with it. likewise!! I never expcted it. When I first watched it on YouTube I could only hear snippets, you could see Mika "flirting" with the lyrics "I'm just a boy like you..." "SHE'S THE MEANEST HAG THERE HAS EVER BEEN...." and this just made the song sound funny. But when I actually listened to the words it's actually really serious and you can tell that - whether this story to be fact or fiction - this person's feelings has been toyed around (literally ) and really hurt. I love the whole metaphor for the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabelle Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Oh wow I don't even know where to start...I know I should be studying or else I'll flunk again but reading through this thread was more than worth it. Big thanks for all the reports, pictures and videos. I love the new songs. They're amazing, so catchy I can already tell I'll have them stuck in my head for a long time.:wub2:What a show that must've been. I'm really genuinely happy for all who went and met Mika. You lucky guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I think it's MEANING is that it's about a mother's dissaproval of her son being gay, or noticing as a child and trying to turn them straight. But the whole toy boy story is made up just to represent it. I'd like to see a mother that is worried that her son is gay force him to stop playing with action figures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankmet20 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Its almost cruel that the audience is laughing..although Mika seems to be playing that up. anyways Bed time (3:50 am o_O) !! Night guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangBangLou Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 damn, i need to go to bed.
