Christine Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzy Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 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 Acting the adult 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And may even sing it that way at a gig. But then he changes it for North American radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinghorse83 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 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. 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.

sienna Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) 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! I’m amazed how Mika’s songs have so intricate melodies and how easy they get stuck in your head because of that! That is geniality in a songwriter Ladies and Gentlemen!

suzie Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 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 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisuke Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) 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 I'm not the only one?

lollipop_monkey Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) I love this song today. I can't stop listening to it. It's like the bouncy, sprightly horn section eradicates my bitchy, emo mood. I envision elephants parading around, trunks interlocked with tails. And a monkey in a top hat. I don't know why.

racinghorse83 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmbm Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 And its DEFINATELY NOT 'sunny and dumb.' wtf? It's 'silly and dumb' - thats a common phrase and fits much better.

I disagree, I totally hear "sunny and dumb". My ears are hearing an "n" sound up in there. I also hear "cautionary, momentary, actionary lie" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
