All She Wants Lyrics & Discussion

Lyrics

______

 

It's an age-old conversation

That is changing with the times.

But it's oh, so complicated

If your mother is like mine

All that she wants are the stars and the moon

A son with a wife and a big living room

 

All she wants

Is another little special arrangement

A peculiar engagement

Got the trophy wife that’s respectable

To avoid any spectacle

It’s another simple solution

For my mother’s delusion

Get her some adorable pictures done

For her mother in Lebanon

 

All that she wants (All she wants)

All that she wants

All that she wants (All she wants)

All that she wants

All that she wants (All she wants)

All that she wants

Is another son

 

To be clear, I'm not a hater

and my wife, I like her too

Let's be honest with each other

There's some things we always knew

All that she wants is the sun and the moon

The call of the wild and a big silver spoon

 

All she wants

Is another little special arrangement

A financial engagement

Social standing is stable

But no kids on the table

Just a little harmless diversion

An acceptable version

But I know my heart is in peril

Made a deal with the devil

 

All that she wants (All she wants)

All she wants

All she wants

All she wants

All she wants is another son

 

Oh it seems I was mistaken

Heaven knows just what I’ve done

All these hateful conversations

Are not helping anyone

My dear wife I have to leave you

There is nothing you can say

You can keep the house without me

You'll be better off this way

 

All she wants

All she wants

All she wants

All she wants

All she wants is another son

 

 

 

 

----

 

This is what I hear and I love it :wub2:

 

It's age-old conversation that is changing with the times.

But it's so so complicated if your mother is like mine

All that she wants are the stars and the moon

A son with a wife and a big living room

All she wants is another son

I think it's "age-old conversation" not "major".

 

But I think it's a little funny to start a lyrics thread when we have about 20 seconds of the song. :naughty:

Thank you Deb :huglove:

Forgive me I couldn't help it :blush-anim-cl:

Can we blame it on Mika? :wink2:

I think we did the same when we had only little bits of "Staring At The Sun" and "Talk About You " :blush-anim-cl:

Thks MIra Gondin for load it this section 13 minutes of Acess Illimité. I like the french of hand´s Mikas voices. So i like so much i like all his song the mellancholic "Last Party" with his relax end and full of sense about his speech of Fredie Mercury , and take the strive for his rythm of the last Party. I like so much Talk about you with the new mix. and the "all she wants" rythm too but i think is conservative in his lyrics & rythm respect about Th men who knew so much...It´s not bad ...It´s the song of a the girl teenager than like the clasic and the respect social.

i don´t make apologizes or be a "black mail. i think so."

This video i like the imagination of a boy

Jean-Philippe Dion: So here this your school playground.

Mika: Yes, but it was my own playground even before I went to this school. It was shared between school and my family. I had rabbits there , in a cage right in front of the school. So there were all those little kids at school who were looking at me and they kept wondering what I was doing there and why they were working at school when I was not doing anything. They said "he's playing with rabbits every day".And finally the school headmaster came to talk to my mother and he said, we have a problem, your son is always playing in the garden, can we do something about it now, because we have a problem. And they took me as a pupil in that school.

Jean-Philippe Dion: Were you a good student?

 

.:dog:I KIKE THE PART WITH MELACHIE AND HIS OLD PRIMARY SCHOOL. I´M LEARNING FRENCH TOO.

AND I WOULD LIKE TALK ABOUT ANY FRENCH SONG TOO.:france:

& Nightmare too.vids. and century man

Which I thought was funny, too. You can't really have a discussion about a song when you have heard so little of it, IMO. :dunno: But whatever. I just want to remind everyone that there's no prize for being the first to start a thread or for opening the most threads. :wink2:

I agree :thumb_yello: but I love it so much :blush-anim-cl:

It's getting harder and harder to wait for the album, now that we got to hear a tiny bit of two new songs :squirrel::excite:

Even with just few seconds of "All she wants" I can say I'll definetly love the song!  :fisch:

NPIH sounds to be another huge,  musical treasure for both us old, hardcore MIKA fans, and probably also for lots of new pop music lovers  :)

Thanks God we're soon in June... :teehee: 

 

Love,love

After listening the whole song, here are the lyrics what I've understood, sorry for my possible mistakes and my little "blanks" :

 

It's an age-old conversation

That is changing with the times.

But it's so so complicated

If your mother is like mine

All that she wants are the stars and the moon

A son with a wife and a big living room

All she wants is another little special arrangement

A peculiar engagement

Go the truth and was respectible

To avoid an expectical

It’s another simple solution

For my mother’s delusion

Yeah the ….

For a mother eleven …

 

All she wants

All she wants

All she wants

All she wants is another son

 

To be clear and not a hater

And my wife a liker too

Let’s be honest with each other

There’s some things we always knew

All that she wants is the sun and the moon

The call of the wild and a big silver spoon

 

All she wants is another little special arrangement

A financial engagement

So she … a new …

But no kids on the table

Just a little homeless …

An accepted …

But I know my heart is in…ble

Maybe due with the devil

 

All she wants

All she wants

All she wants

All she wants is another son

 

Oh it seems I was mistaken

Heaven knows just what I’ve done

Oh these hateful conversations

… anyone

My dear wife I have to leave you

There is nothing you can say

You can keep the house without me

Oh the better of this way

 

All she wants

All she wants

All she wants

All she wants

All she wants is another son

Being in the UK I don't have access to the entire song, just the preview on French iTunes, but this is what I'm hearing from the preview:

"Simple solution
For my mothers delusion
Get her some adorable pictures done
For her mother in Lebanon

All that she wants (All she wants)
All that she wants
All that she wants (All she wants)
All that she wants 
All that she wants (All she wants)
All that she wants
Is another son

To be clear, I'm not a hater, and my wife, I like her too
Let's be honest with each other, there's some things we always knew
All that she wants is the sun and the moon
The call of the wild and a big silver spoon

All she wants

Is another little special arrangement
A financial engagement
Social standing is stable
But no kids on the table
Just a little harmless diversion
An acceptable version 
But I know my heart is in peril
I made a deal with the devil

All that she wants (All she wants)"

Bleh, I need this song now!

It really reminds me of a song called 'Learn To Keep Your Mouth Shut, Owen Pallett' by Owen Pallett. I'm pretty confident he's mentioned the song in an interview at some point as being a song he likes. It's not a "rip off" by any standards, though.  :) 


 

Question for native speakers: 

 

All that she wants
Is another son

 

Another son as in "a different son" or as in "one more son"?

I think it means a different son in the context of the song.  :)

Ok, thanks

I wasn't sure he meant right a different son or one more son to get the flaws of the previous one covered, if you know what I mean. 

Both interpretations could apply, I thought I was missing some shade because of the language...

Joanie has another son, though, if the song really is written so literally from Mika's point of view. There's Fortuné.  :)

 

I don't know, it could definitely mean either really, it's not a language problem. :)  that's just my take on it!

I think he actually mentioned his brother in discussing this song so I think you're right.

On the language question...I think (hypothetically) you could also mean you want the son you have to have different qualities. It's projection. This is the son I have and I am just going to - either through pressure or delusion - make him into the person I want. In another time and place Mika could have been the son that she wants by getting married and having children, etc.

 

I think in this particular case though Mika may be referring to a second son that will fulfill all her specifications for the ideal son because what Mika has to offer isn't what she values in a son. But I am guessing that based on what he has said rather than the actual lyrics.

 

And just for the record I don't think any of this is really true. I think it's just a child's twisted perception (brought on by religious conditioning) and fear of disappointing his parents. I also find it hard to believe that Mika was ever stuck in the middle. Unless, by "middle", he means being the centre of everyone's world. :naughty:

You're right! I heard Mika said all her hopes were now resting on Fortune's shoulders... Poor man :)
