Mika4Life13 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 All I heard was ''*falsetto* *panting voice saying: OOOH! DR. JOOOOOHN!* So everyone who could figure out these lyrics is an absolute hero. Thanks guysies! Lmfao, well if we're going to be specific all I hear is "I LOVE ALEXANDRAAAAAAAAAa...Dr.JOHN..."

katydid1994 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Well Tibet posted a great video So I tweaked the lyrics on the first page a bit. I agree now that I also hear, She gave me her hand but I ignore her. And I still am having trouble with the line after Daddy's face Well finally my life is over or I'll find my life is over ?? And I cannot make out the verse with heartbreaker, I can hear they say I'm a big heartbreaker, I try to remember ??? ________ is not yours are yours?? And at the end I now think he's saying you're not alone, you're not alone So then, I had this realization about the whole thing. Dr John is there in the bar beside him "sees him there with him" So his mom comes and offers her hand to get him up and he ignores her. He tells Dr John to lay his head on his shoulder. So then he stays there in the bar and daddy comes and he stays there and asks Dr John for his shoulder this time. And if I fall asleep will it be over "will my life be over" So you're not alone, Dr John is there with him. When I first heard the song, I thought he was talking about putting his head on his parent's shoulders, but no it's Dr John. I really really really love this song and I hope he talks more about writing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn Mastin Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I too want to thank you guys!I loved WAG when I first heard it then & now after seeing Doctor John on Itunes youtube vids I have fallen in love with it too. It is fantastic to be a member here & get the lyrics so quickly! Thank you again!:bow: What a great weekend!:dance_man: I agree with you 100%! I also think it brilliant when our MFC musicians figure out how to play the songs. I couldn't figure it out in 1,000,000 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katydid1994 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) Have had chance to have a listen today and wondered about these tweeks?? Tonight I listened to this video and this is my current tweek. Thanks, I do hear but dr! LOL it takes a village Thanks alice loves mika for saying well father! I could not figure it out. I feel like this has got to be almost it. What a great song. So actually he's broken his parent's heart. And just what urge is he talking about? I look for joy in a strange place from the back of the bar from afar I see the look on my momma's face when her son's fallen over undone She swears that my life is over But boy you don't know what you got till it's gone Come put your head upon my shoulder She gave me her hand but I ignore her oh Dr. John What am I doing When I'm wrong Cause I Keep on trying... Something ain't going, something ain't going on Oh Dr John I look for joy in a strange place From the back of the bar From afar I see the look on my Daddy's face When his son's fallen over, undone Well father my life is over I didn't know what I had now it's gone Can I lay my head upon your shoulder If I fall asleep will it be over... Oh Dr John What am I doing When I'm wrong Cause I Keep on trying... Something ain't going, something ain't going on Oh Dr John What am I doing When I am wrong Cause I keep on trying Something ain't going, something ain't going on They say I'm a big heartbreaker But Dr I never ever.... till I got the urge Oh Dr John What am I doing When I'm wrong Cause I keep on trying Something ain't going, something ain't going on Oh Dr John I keep on trying You're not alone You're not alone Oh Dr John You're not alone You're not alone Edited August 3, 2009 by katydid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neiobi Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I already love this song. Yeah apparentely he broke both his parents heart:naughty: But maybe when he says "they say I'm a big heartbreaker" maybe it's not just his parents.. right? If this song applies to him of course:aah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I'm loving what I am hearing so far. A lot of people were comparing Dr. John with Billy Brown a while ago (I suppose it's the storytelling), but I think this is the Stuck in the middle of the bunch. Very personal and typical Mika happy tune sad lyrics.Did I say that I love it yet? I think people comparing might have meant the songwriting style and not the lyrics:wink2:. If you have to compare, I'd also say it was written in the style of music from the '60s, like Billy Brown. And if anything resembles SITM on the new album it will be Good Gone Girl, I think....

The only thing I would change is that he says in the back of a bar, not from. That is listening to the 30 second snippet on ITunes, not the videos of the gig.It wouldn't be the first time he changes lyrics:naughty: I think people comparing might have meant the songwriting style and not the lyrics:wink2:.

Why Good gone girl? Thematically I hear a resemblance with SITM, and he's said that Dr. John is his most intimate song in the new record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this song applies to him of course:aah: I think it's a personal song and I think this is a little bit about his "secret" life that he spoke of in the Observer Music Monthly magazine. He was probably just trying to discover who he was and just ended up with loads of people. He was probably a little messed up during his teenage years That's probably why they called him a "heartbreaker" because he couldn't choose. Instead he pick and mixed That's MY interpretation anyway!

suzie Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Why Good gone girl?Thematically I hear a resemblance with SITM, and he's said that Dr. John is his most intimate song in the new record. That's why I said songwriting style and not the content of the lyrics...... I could go into more details but not at this point. .. and it's only my opinion, based on my way of interpreting songwriting techiques, anyway..
