Mousetrap Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 This song is really a masterpiece I love it even more than Undewater:wub2: I'd never thought UW can be beaten by any other song for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellenowl Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 It takes my iPod literally half an hour to load 1/3 of this song on YouTube. The Internet is so painfully slow, and I don't have the patience to wait for the whole song to buffer! Needless to say, this is a really lovely song from what I've heard. Just beautiful!

cathouzouf Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I REALLY love the song, ever since I heard it the first time... But this morning, the "this is love not war, give our peace a chance" mean more than usual:wub2: (some crazy looloo shot gunfires while our new prime minister was making her victory speech and somebody died:blink:...

Menthe Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I really love this song, it's melody is so beautiful. Was it also played in the sercret listening party in Milan or in London? I would imagine the chorus with a big sounding (children's) choir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the chorus with a big sounding (children's) choir. It was, I believe, but I don't remember it being mentioned as one sounding particularly good - which does not mean anything, of course, as everyone hears it differently...

dcdeb Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Still trying to decipher lyrics... here's my latest attempt: KIDS The kids are playing in the sun They think their life has just begun For them it's just another day Playin' games only kids will play The ball will be a million two/too (?)(I know, it makes no sense, but that's what it sounds like!) If we keep on fighting like we do Baby don't you walk away Saying things only kids would say Kids what do they know about nothing at all Lover, love when you're here and I love when you call Take your kid gloves off This is love not war Give our peace a chance Make it worth fighting for Take your kid gloves off This is love not war Give our peace a chance Make it worth fighting for Fighting for You shout with nothing to say And fight 'til you get your way It hurts but what can I do I won't turn into what gets you (still not quite sure about that?) Kids what do they know about nothing at all Lover, love when you're here and I love when you call Take your kid gloves off This is love not war Give our peace a chance Make it worth fighting for Take your kid gloves off This is love not war Give our peace a chance Make it worth fighting for Playing in the setting sun You think your life has just begun Throwing all my love away Just another California day Kids what do they know about nothing at all Lover, love when you're here and I love when you call .... Just another California day Take your kid gloves off This is love not war Give our peace a chance Make it worth fighting for Take your kid gloves off This is love not war Give our peace a chance Make it worth fighting for Playing in the setting sun You think your life has just begun Throwing all my love away Just another California day Edited September 10, 2012 by dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 After hearing the longer snippet of the acoustic version on iTunes, I think the lyrics above are good, except for that one line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point! Otherwise music would be much less diverse than it is. I think kids has potential to be a really good song, but the snippet of the cd version sounds a bit boring. IMO the live version is much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamy_Queen Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 After listening to the live version, I was surprised that the album variant is so calm and dreamy, I expected something more epic and big. But I love it the way it is, one of the best songs in the album. And ha, Mika still tends to insert geographical names into his songs the day as he geography student still reminds about itself.

Mikasister Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I very love this song Me too:wub2: After listening to the live version, I was surprised that the album variant is so calm and dreamy, I expected something more epic and big.

I adore this song but I think I'll like it more live than on the record. I was excited with the performance of this song in @L'oreal sessions, I almost cried and the same happened with SWM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this is just my own theory, but maybe Mika adds the American place-names in the hopes of his songs getting played there. Because going to NYC to see the pretty statue of Liberty seemed to me to be a shout-out to the Americans, so was Highway 95 and reference to "A dollar," not a Pound or a Euro. Not to mention his American accent for the speaking bit at the beginning of BIOTG I think he really really would love to be very successful there. I hope he will be this time.

dcdeb Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Eureka! I just had the chance to listen to the live version of KIDS from the JuiceFM show and I finally think I have the whole song -- 99.99999% positive! (my most recent changes in BOLD) The kids are playing in the sun They think their life has just begun For them it's just another day Playin' games only kids will play There won't be a me and you [which is what I thought at first but then changed my mind ] If we keep on fighting like we do Baby don't you walk away Saying things only kids would say Kids what do they know about nothing at all Lover, love when you're here and I love when you call Take your kid gloves off This is love not war Give our peace a chance Make it worth fighting for Take your kid gloves off This is love not war Give our peace a chance Make it worth fighting for Fighting for You shout with nothing to say And fight 'til you get your way It hurts but what can I do I won't turn into a kid, too Kids what do they know about nothing at all Lover, love when you're here and I love when you call Take your kid gloves off This is love not war Give our peace a chance Make it worth fighting for Take your kid gloves off This is love not war Give our peace a chance Make it worth fighting for Playing in the setting sun You think your life has just begun Throwing all my love away Just another California day Kids what do they know about nothing at all Lover, love when you're here and I love when you call ....

Marilyn Mastin Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It is a trustful theory, I thought about it too. Georgia, btw Oh yes Georgia is gorgeous and Toy Boy was left in Georgia. And I suppose if Carolina charged 1 Euro instead of 1 Dollar, she'd probably need about 1,000,000 clients to make a decent living. Isn't Carolina an American place-name too? I'm sure it is.

tiibet Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks Deb for the lyrics About them... Why do I automatically assume someone saying these things to him and not the opposite (and the lyrics just being from the opposite perspective)?? The acoustic version on Juice FM was breath-taking, Kids is becoming one of my very favorite songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
