Soaring Simpson Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 This is great- thankyou- you're all taking so much time over this. I wish I could join in, but I'm really busy and my hearing is rubbish anyway. But thank you again! I think this is my fave of the new songs.

veroMica Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 My mom thought he was singing "Maybe I'm a girlllll, maybe I'm a boyyyy" That reminds me of another MFCer's mom, who thought he was singing "Cause it's all in the hands of the pizza pizza man" in Any other world. Love it when people missunderstand the lyrics, so many crazy things turn out from that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilek Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 My mom thought he was singing "Maybe I'm a girlllll, maybe I'm a boyyyy" that's exactly what i heard at first listening:naughty: This is great- thankyou- you're all taking so much time over this. I wish I could join in, but I'm really busy and my hearing is rubbish anyway. But thank you again! I think this is my fave of the new songs. my hearing is pretty good but my "making things up" skill is far better so i might come up with veeeery interesting lyrics,i don't want to confuse anyone:naughty: That reminds me of another MFCer's mom, who thought he was singing "Cause it's all in the hands of the pizza pizza man" in Any other world.

It's reaaaallly easy to hear "pizza" there. I can't remember whose MFCer's mom was, but she made my day when she told us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I'm 99.99% sure it's "hating" OK, I can hear "hating" too -- depends on which version I listen too... So I've tweaked the lyrics a little bit more, based on some suggestions and several (like 30) more listenings... until we hear him sing it again, I'm pretty satisfied that we have these very, very close... if only I could hear the lyrics to Gone Girl Good so well! 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/hating? 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 could be 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 a stubborn child -- 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/hating? 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 could be 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Just a little note: I hear him saying: When he's certain there is so much more -- what's the matter It's "when you're certain". It changes from "he" to "you" in this verse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mari62 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It's "when you're certain". It changes from "he" to "you" in this verse.yeah, you're right and in the following verse I hear something different as well: Like a baby you're a stubborn child -- 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 Were YOU wishing...... instead of "We were" , but "were" actually doesn't sound like "were" to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 We were wishing we were lucky like you [/i] Were YOU wishing...... instead of "We were" , but "were" actually doesn't sound like "were" to me I think it's very clearly "we were wishing we were lucky like you".

hotdlp Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Some of the lyrics to Blame It On The Girls were photographed in the Q Mag. We've pretty much got it spot on. 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 living at ease like a lover on the open shore what's the matter? when you're sitting there with so much more what's the matter? when you're wondering what the hell to be are you wishing you were ugly like me blame it on the girls who know what to do Then it stops there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
