mel_tinydancer Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 So, I figured out the chord progression for this song for piano, and i'm going to figure it out on guitar later, but I was wondering if anyone was interested. Maybe I should make a new thread for how to play the new songs, because I think I'm going to start working on Toy Boy next. I know we have several musicians on here who like to plunk out some of the stuff by ear, which is basically what I did, but I think it's pretty accurate. Whatcha think?

I recorded Toy Boy, on piano, and I'm figuring out Good Gone Girl. A thread might be a good idea, but it might be naughty. I don't know if Mika would like that.

superstar Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Ok, this song is confusing. I hear both of the following: "You've got children and a wife, a perfect little life" AND "Blame it on the boys who were hitting on you" That's sure what it sounds like. Which is very confusing. Like, a follow-up Billy Brown? I feel like I'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilek Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 No, you can say you love it! I love it! :wub2: OK, I'm slowly but surely getting there with the lyrics... here's what I have so far. BTW, I have to say in the vlog and in the videos, I believe he's saying "he's got a face to make you fall on your knees"... That's how I hear it in both places. Anyway: Blame it on the Girls He's got looks that books take pages to tell He's got a face to make you fall on your knees He's got money in the bank to thank and I guess You could think he's livin' at ease (Like lovers of the good book show?) -- what's the matter He's certain there is so much more -- what's the matter While you're wondering what the hell to do Are you wishing you were ugly like me? Blame it on the girls who know what to do Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you Blame it on your mother for the things she said Blame it on your father but you know he's dead Blame it on the girls Blame it on the boys Blame it on the girls Blame it on the boys Life is simple but you never fail to complicate it every single time You could have children and a wife, a perfect little life But you blow it on a bottle of wine Like a baby you're (.....) -- what's the matter Always looking for an axe to grind -- what's the matter While you're wondering what the hell to do We were wishing we were lucky like you Blame it on the girls who know what to do Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you Blame it on your mother for the things she said Blame it on your father but you know he's dead Blame it on the girls Blame it on the boys Blame it on the girls Blame it on the boys Life is simple but you never fail to complicate it every single time You could have children and a wife, a perfect little life But you blow it on a bottle of wine Blame it on the girls Blame it on the boys Blame it on the girls Blame it on the boys I'm close...

dcdeb Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) Ok, this song is confusing. I hear both of the following: "You've got children and a wife, a perfect little life" AND "Blame it on the boys who were hitting on you" That's sure what it sounds like. Which is very confusing. Like, a follow-up Billy Brown? I feel like I'm missing something. Did you see the lyrics I transcribed? I do think it's "you could have children and a wife, a perfect little life" and "Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you." I almost think this is Holy Johnny in another incarnation -- Johnny was a looker and a downright whore, I assume sleeping around a lot, right? Imagine a good-looking young man who is interested in both sexes -- he *could* have children and a wife, a perfect little life, but... he blows it on a bottle of wine, possibly meaning he'd rather go out and have a good time, without settling down. So he blames it on the girls "who know what to do," blames it on the boys who keep hitting on him... In other words, how can he resist? It actually makes a lot of sense to me. ETA: Also, I think this guy is a little conflicted -- he thinking there's something more... which is why maybe he's wishing he was ugly. In the meantime, onlookers are wishing they were lucky like him, while he's wondering what the hell he should do... Doesn't mean I'm right, just means I've put it together in a way that makes sense in my own head. Which, I admit, can be a mixed up scary place.

Christine Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Well done Deb! This song is so f*cking fantastic. It's so rhythmic and I love the way the lyrics flow.

Like a baby you're (.....) -- what's the matter I think the missing bit here is "stubborn child" Oh, that makes sense. Thanks! And you're right about how the lyrics flow -- I just love "you could have children and a wife, a perfect little life"... and in the video, I love the way he sings that phrase, walking toward the audience and nodding his head... I really do find the other songs quite good, but this one just really stands out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neiobi Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Loving discussing these songs, so far so good! The lyrics are really nice... I love how "What's the matter" is inserted like someone's asking from the outside, but really fits the song. And the lyrics are so well played... You can see he's put a lot of his energy and himself onto these songs:wub2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
