willywonka Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Never a Mika song was so hard to decipher... Thank you so much, mamma mod... Though i still find it a bit mew... Maybe it'll grow on me, soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreacher Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) the more i listen to this song, the more i'm convincing myself that He's sing "when I fall to your feet" the unintelligble line could be "You're shot and leavin' me raw" which would make a wee bit more sense than "Your shot and leavin' me raw" :shrug: "Put your lips on me" ...He doesn't where to put them maybe He could change it to "Put your lips on mine" i'm still crushing on this song so hard i can't wait to hear the studio version!

IngievV Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 It took MONTHS to decipher Good Gone Girl. Oh gosh yeah, first time I heard that one live, it just sounded like mindless mumbling:naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 and One Foot Boy was not that easy, either. Yes I still don't know what he's saying during the chorus Oh gosh yeah, first time I heard that one live, it just sounded like mindless mumbling:naughty: Yeah we couldn't even hear 90% of the words when we were 10 feet away from him.

suzie Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 tthe unintelligble line could be "You're shot and leavin' me raw" which would make a wee bit more sense than "Your shot and leavin' me raw" :shrug: It was never 'your' shot though, but 'you' shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 that's what my weird brain heard I mean, your brain heard "you're shot", in the lyrics on MFC it was "you shot" but it was never "your shot" - or was it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 What if it is originally 'fall to my knees' he just mixed it up like the he did with the personal pronouns in Rain in January, when instead of 'you' he accidentally said 'I' when singing about that man someone found. ... I thought of that, too -- but I still would argue that "fall to my feet" makes sense, even though the common expression is "fall to my knees." When your body falls down, it falls to where your feet are -- not necessarily the same as falling on your knees. (Mika, help me out here... I'm trying to defend you, come on!) the unintelligble line could be "You're shot and leavin' me raw" which would make a wee bit more sense than "Your shot and leavin' me raw" :shrug: I simply can't tell. I've listened to those two lines a hundred times now. I've written it out phonetically and said it out loud to see if something clicks. You. Shot. And. Leave. In. Me. Raw. For a second I thought maybe it was: You shot and leave me in awe. Then I watched the after-party video again and thought maybe it was "You shot and leave me to fall." But no, neither seems to be right. His mouth definitely seems to form an R. Followed by: Now I know you're amazing. I can't make sense of it. (Mika, please, throw us a bone -- I'm just asking for ONE word! Not even a whole line!) "Put your lips on me" ...He doesn't where to put them maybe He could change it to "Put your lips on mine" Oh, he knows where to put them -- in the high quality video you can see he clearly points to his own mouth. It took MONTHS to decipher Good Gone Girl. Yeah, and I'm still not convinced that the so-called "official" lyrics are right in places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vixenbbw Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) I think that on the gig videos he's singing "Your shots are leaving me raw" but at the private party he sings "Your shot is leaving me raw" Edited September 23, 2011 by vixenbbw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vixenbbw Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 thank you I couldnt hear all what he said Great GIF!! I made this from a Leeds gig back in 2007 and thought he was sooooo sexy the way he played with his tshirt. Mmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamy_Queen Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Last time I was here we were talking about phonetics... This one is for non-english speakers... Tell me the truth, Mika at 1.03 signs: ".. Ain´t got no love... ain´t got no CHICKEN.." Well, as not native English speaker, I clearly hear Chicken. Especially taking into account, that it follows after Love. Some people state that he sings Ticket, but I don't see any sence in it (and don't hear it at all). So, I prefer to hear the Chicken variant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamy_Queen Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Yeah, it´s ticket... but this is Mika, so I think I´m gonna listen "chicken" every time... But Mika's lyrics differ from Google's!! Of course the original won't be with chicken, because Nina Simone had no idea about MFC jokes. And Mika knows them way too well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
