crazyaboutmika Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 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 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 snipet https://instagram.com/p/1bWaUpTVci/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mer Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) 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. & Nightmare too.vids. and century man[YOUTUBE]e0Ow5rbBXh4[/YOUTUBE] Transltation a Mikafreak thaks so much: http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4078063&postcount=45 Very pretty your sister JASmine.

I think we did the same when we had only little bits of "Staring At The Sun" and "Talk About You " 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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamiam Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Even with just few seconds of "All she wants" I can say I'll definetly love the song! 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...

Elwendin Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Question for native speakers: All that she wantsIs another son Another son as in "a different son" or as in "one more son"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMichaeeel Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 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 wantsIs 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.

Elwendin Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) 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... Edited June 12, 2015 by Elwendin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Joanie has another son, though, if the song really is written so literally from Mika's point of view. There's Fortuné. I think he actually mentioned his brother in discussing this song so I think you're right. 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... 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
