Lover Boy Lyrics Discussion

Recommended Posts

I must admit I think we should lay off till teh 16th- iif Lovrboy's on the Japanese version- t's not about spoilers, it's about officially condoning unethical uploads for me

 

Personally I just can't be arsed trying to tease through what has and hasn't been heard through "legal" channels for the sake an ethical dilemma that will be non-existent in 4 days.

 

Especially considering that there are people who have heard these songs without downloading them illegally.

Okay. This thread is about discussing this song. So back on topic.

 

The possible meaning of the song from my understanding:

 

(a) he has no faith that a loving relationship is possible (either from a bad experience or no experience)

 

(b) people think they are falling in love, but the feeling is fleeting and he is cautioning them

 

© he is jealous that his life is rushing by while everyone around him is in love and he is not.

I aggree with B mostly,

I imagine him wagging his finger at someone as If hes warning them when he sings lines like "You think your in love girl....." so on :D

Acting the adult :biggrin2:

It's kinda like he's teaching them because he knows from first hand experience what love can do, and no matter how right it feels it's always a liein the end. Even If your 100% sure you right, there will always be a fault to your plans. Thats what I'm thinking :teehee:

Maybe it's just my perverted mind, but I'm hearing "You could do any boy" in the chorus :teehee:

 

Yeah. He must have wrote it that way. And may even sing it that way at a gig.:teehee:

 

But then he changes it for North American radio. :naughty:

I think is "reactionary lie" - actionary isn't a real word (reactionary as in "stuck in the past")

 

and definately "sunny and dumb"

 

But like RH83 want to know if these threads are only about what we've legally heard or if we're now discussing the full album?

 

from the itunes snippet, i heard 'silly and dumb' doesnt that make more sense?

 

Yep. And we've got to stop kidding ourselves here. It's obvious most of these lyrics threads have already gone beyond snippets. :blush-anim-cl:

 

If the music is already out there, who better than Mika's most loyal fans (MFCers) should be discussing his music. Discussing a song = lyrics. If you don't want to discuss the song until the 18th or the 21st, I would also strongly recommend not be in this thread.

 

I find that very sad. aren't we supposed to be mika's loyal fans? arent we trying to prove to him that we're NOT like the boy who leaked the album?

 

no, instead we're turning around and saying 'oh well, its leaked, we're going to have no respect for the official release date, we're going to talk anyway.'

 

i think we SHOULD hold off, even if just for a few more days. wait until its LEGAL, if thats the point everyone has forgotten.

 

i know Christine pointed out that some people have already heard the album legally, but thats completely missing the point.

Those who have heard the album legally; good for them. But you dont need to be encouraging talk about these songs, which effectively, is encouraging other fans to illegally download in order to participate in this talk.

Charlie I think you have a valid point here in theory but at this stage it's just too little too late. As I was saying last week there are only a few minutes of song on this album that have not been released anyway and since then Universal has apparently made BIOTG available in its entirety which leaves even less.

 

I honestly couldn't even tell you at this point which lyrics we are supposed to have heard through all of these sanctioned leaks and which have come through accidental or malicious leaks. There are so many snippets, live performances and now legitimate releases of 4 of the studio tracks that there isn't much left for people to work out as far as the lyrics go.

I woke up with the melody of this song in my head today, just fragments of it, and it took me a while and a big cup of tea to trace back what melody it was!:naughty:

 

I’m amazed how Mika’s songs have so intricate melodies and how easy they get stuck in your head because of that!:wub2:

 

That is geniality in a songwriter Ladies and Gentlemen!:groovy:

Geniality? You mean having a pleasant manner?:blink:

 

I think you're looking for genius.

Yes I was!:blush-anim-cl:

 

These are the synonoms I got!.

 

amiability, affability, bonhomie, affableness, amiableness

 

I should have looked further!:teehee:

 

Tricky language the English!:biggrin2:

The Swedish word for genius is genialitet!

 

Thank you for pointing it out!:wub2:

I think the lyric in the chorus is "You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel"

 

:)

 

For some strange reason I believe you :cool:

Hope it's correct now...

 

 

Isn’t it enough isn’t it enough just to be wild and free

Caught up in the rough, caught up in the rush of life staring at me

You think you’re in love boy, but you don't really know what love is

You think you're in love girl, but honey let me show you where your heart is

 

Loverboy, is just illusion to me

You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel

Pretty boy with a nasty trace

Funny boy will an ugly face

 

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

 

Isn’t it enough isn’t it enough just to be sunny and dumb

Aren't you tired of hookin' up, sick of breaking up

Oh you fool, you did it for fun

You think you’re in love girl, but you don't really know what love is

You think you're in love boy, but honey let me show you where your heart is

 

Loverboy, is just illusion to me

You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel

Pretty boy with a nasty trace

Funny boy will an ugly face

 

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Loverboy, is just illusion to me

You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel

Pretty boy with a nasty trace

Funny boy will an ugly face

 

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, ractionary lie

Loverboy, is just illusion to me

You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel

Pretty boy with a nasty trace

Funny boy will an ugly face

 

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

It's the best non-album album track!!

 

It's interesting to hear those horns from the vlog.

When I first heard "Dr. John", I was a little upset because I thought the horns were for "Dr. John", so I thought something was missing.

 

One of my favorite "unspeakables" is now a "speakable"! ;D

 

Maybe it's just my perverted mind, but I'm hearing "You could do any boy" in the chorus :teehee:

I'm not the only one? :teehee:

I love this song today. :freak:

 

I can't stop listening to it. It's like the bouncy, sprightly horn section eradicates my bitchy, emo mood. :naughty:

 

I envision elephants parading around, trunks interlocked with tails. And a monkey in a top hat. I don't know why. :aah:

I'm 100% sure the lyrics go like this;

 

Isn’t it enough, isn’t it enough just to be wild and free

Caught up in the rough, caught up in the rush of life staring at me

You think you’re in love boy, but you don't even know what love is

You think you're in love girl, but honey let me show you where your heart is

 

Loverboy, is just delusion to me

Any boy, I'd show you what you would feel

A pretty boy with a nasty trace

A funny boy with an ugly face

 

Love is just a precautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Love is just a precautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

 

Isn’t it enough isn’t it enough just to be silly and dumb

Aren't you tired of hookin' up, sick of breaking up

Oh you fool, you did it for fun

You think you’re in love girl, but you don't even know what love is

You think you're in love boy, but honey let me show you where your heart is

 

And its DEFINATELY NOT 'sunny and dumb.' wtf?

 

It's 'silly and dumb' - thats a common phrase and fits much better.
