ItsMichaeeel Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Lyrics:Oh here I go again I wake up every morning to this Groundhog Day Thinking about the list of things that I’ve done wrong Can’t even count, it goes on too long I try to change my ways I feel like I’m the villain in some crappy play The book has long been written, but I’d rather be Just about anyone else but me, I hope you see It doesn’t mean I’m not a fighter It's just that I wanna be a little lighter Spent so long fixing things I’ve done I’ve got holes in all my pockets Even those holes, they’ve got pockets Hiding things that’ll never see the sun I’m taking off, going to Rio I’m getting lost to find an alter-ego It could be Paris or Berlin, I don’t care what state I’m in Gonna leave it all behind Maybe I’ll be myself when I’m somebody else This is not an invitation, I’m going to Rio This is not a conversation, say goodbye to me-oh Maybe in ten years time You’ll receive a letter from some random guy You’ll like him so much better But then you will see, he’s not a stranger it’s only me I can only be myself as somebody else 'Cause you got sun, I got bad weather Anything you can lose I can lose better Do my best with what life gave to me I’ve got holes in all my pockets Even those holes, they’ve got pockets Hiding things that I sure want to leave I’m taking off, going to Rio I’m getting lost to find an alter-ego It could be Paris or Berlin, I don’t care what state I’m in Gonna leave it all behind Maybe I’ll be myself when I’m somebody else This is not an invitation, I’m going to Rio This is not a conversation, say goodbye to me-oh Give me a peanut and I’ll turn blue I can't even eat the things you do Bake you a cake and I burn it up twice I roll thirteen on a pair of dice Give me a peanut and I’ll turn blue I can't even eat the things you do Bake you a cake and I burn it up twice I roll thirteen on a pair of dice I’m taking off, going to Rio I’m getting lost to find an alter-ego It could be Paris or Berlin, I don’t care what state I’m in Gonna leave it all behind Maybe I’ll be myself when I’m somebody else This is not an invitation, I’m going to Rio This is not a conversation, say goodbye to me-oh This is not an invitation, I’m going to Rio This is not a conversation, say goodbye to me-oh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Brilliant lyrics. Did Mika write them all? It sound very much like Barenaked Ladies or Lily Allen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manon14 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Brilliant lyrics. Did Mika write them all? It sound very much like Barenaked Ladies or Lily Allen.

Kata Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Brilliant lyrics. Did Mika write them all? It sound very much like Barenaked Ladies or Lily Allen. My first thought was actually "This is very Barenaked Ladies" ...even the melody 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellenowl Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Is it just me, or are these songs slightly 'chipmunked' even by Mika's standards- copyright thing maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alyara Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 A lighthearted song! The lyrics are funny, my favourite parts are I’ve got holes in all my pockets Even those holes, they’ve got pockets and Bake you a cake and I burn it up twice I roll thirteen on a pair of dice very clever!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I think my favourite part's the "Maybe I'll be myself when I'm somebody else". probably melodically more than anything I love that line. I mean, I have felt that way before. And not all that long ago. Interestingly, I played the album for my husband today (he's not the biggest Mika fan, as you might imagine), and this was his favorite song.

Can someone please explain me the "I've got holes in my pocket and even those holes they got pockets" meaning? I don't really understand it is it something like "Money is burning holes in pocket?

Menthe Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) hey everyopone, heres youtube link but I think the voice is changed a little so can anyone tell me where can I listen in original? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVQ5UwyqOag Yes, it is faster than the original one. I have been listening to it on vk, but I am not sure if it's the right thing to do. I will get my album only Monday and couldn't wait..

I don't really understand it is it something like "Money is burning holes in pocket? Sorry I'm not a native speaker i take it as meaning that the holes in his pockets have been there for so long that they had time to grow pockets of their own.

vixenbbw Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 This has a very Paul Simon feel again. Not like TBWKTM = Graceland, (which I loved) but earlier Simon and Garfunkel stuff. It's got a real singer/songwriter vibe to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vixenbbw Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 This one is slowly rising in my favourite track chart! I think it could be a great summer single and can almost picture the video to go with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
