lollipop_monkey Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think it's "hanging out for the champagne toast" Welcome to MFC! You should introduce yourself in our introductions section. And, I think you're right about the lyrics - can anyone with the Japanese CD compare that to what's written? (Although Mika's printed lyrics can never be taken as gospel anyhow...

Fmbm Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 The beat of this song reminds me a bit of Billy Joel's 'Uptown girl' My sister always starts singing that song when I'm singing "Good Gone Girl" :rolls_eyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sienna Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 My sister always starts singing that song when I'm singing "Good Gone Girl" :rolls_eyes: I'm still listening to that little mp3 piano clip you sent me and I love it even more than the original version (Mika's) of this song, the lonely piano makes the melody come through so nice and when Mika sings it it there are so many other things to listen to at the same time that the pure and beautiful melody gets hidden a little!

crazyaboutmika Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 btw what's "munter"? Didn't found that in any english dictionary:blink: in german it means "animated"^^ (pronunciation like: moonter ) little german language course for you:biggrin2: http://onlineslangdictionary.com/definition+of/munter:thumb_yello: an unattractive and unintelligent man from that British slang dictionnary online:naughty: could also apply to a woman:shocked: but in "Good Gone Girl" it applies to a man I hope that helps you:wink2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLUESounds Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I say we all bombard Mika's Twitter saying that lyrics need to be included in the CD Booklet LOL oooh bombarding his twitter at the same time sounds amazing lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyaboutmika Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Mika included a link to all his TBWKTM's lyrics online when you put the physical CD in your computer and pick extras instead of play in the menu; you can then download the whole lyrics on PDF along with beautiful artwork! If you just look for the plain lyrics, they're all in mikawebsite.com I also posted them in the ask the mods thread in MFC page 67 if I remember well!

crazyaboutmika Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 GOOD GONE GIRL Could you believe, the same old story It never bores me Though Iʼve heard it all before Her name was Georgia, and she was gorgeous When she adored you the whole room would get to know Like a movie that is filled with lust Coming at you with a double D bust At the bed of a wounded soldier In a rush cos sheʼs getting older Hanging out in the fancy bars, with the boys who can play guitar Listen up cos Iʼve go to warn ya, sheʼs gonna make it out in California Hey you, whatʼs a good girl like you doing in this crazy world? Whereʼs the Good gone girl? Dance, dance to the life you wanted when you were only seventeen With your good girl dream Oooooo……. Good Gone Girl Could you believe, the same old phonies Those painted ponies, that youʼve ridden all before Her name was April, but she was hateful Enough to make you want to run right out the door I can tell you what you want the most Hanging off with a champagne toast When the end of the night gets tricky Donʼt you know that beggars cant be picky Looking out for a man whoʼs golden Doesnʼt matter if heʼs old, heʼs rolling Coming at you like a desperate hunter Sugar daddy but heʼs just a munter HHey you, whatʼs a good girl like you doing in this crazy world? Whereʼs the Good gone girl? Dance, dance to the life you wanted when you were only seventeen With your good girl dream Oooooo……. Good Gone Girl Hey you, whatʼs a good girl like you doing in this crazy world? Whereʼs the Good gone girl? Dance, dance to the life you wanted when you were only seventeen With your good girl dream Oooooo……. Good Gone Girl Sheʼs walking around all over the town Needs somebody to notice but the goodness gets her down Sheʼs happy to choose somebody to use Good gone girl, sheʼs got nothing left to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nollie Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 One of the reasons I love this song other than the obvious is: Her name was April, but she was hateful Enough to make you want to run right out the door I used to be friends with a girl named April and this describes her perfectly!!! Mika must know her somehow! It makes me happy when I hear that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophie<3Mika Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I think the first verse is pretty much saying about indivuality & saying that he's heard so many stories about people & what their dreams are! "The same old story, it never bores me" meaning, he's heard so much & it never bores him to listen to people. The first person, (Georgia) is in comparison to the seconds person (April). I think it's an actually a pretty sad song even though it's so lively because he talks about Georgia first, then there's a kind of BUT in the middle of the song & he talks about April. Georgia is surrounded in this world by other people like April, that's when he talks about "what's a good girl like you doing in this crazy world?" but she's a good girl. I don't understand the Double D bust bit though, that doesn't fit in my theory but the "at the bed of a wounded soldier" is saying she's like a nurse & is caring for people. She's pratically perfect.. but everyone gets older. "Hanging out in the fancy bars, with the boys who play guitar" obviously she's this perfect gorgeous young girl, all these boys want her but she's living her life too fast to notice them. April is sung about next. In comparison to Georgia, everyone LEAVES when she's in the room, instead of catching everyones attention. The bit where he's like "Those painted ponies that you've ridden all before" is about fake people i think. Saying that everyone has had a moment where they haven't been themsleves & shown their true colours.. like the ponies who are painted. "I can tell you what you want the most" he already knows what she's like because when people but on a fake front it's usually simillar. Now she's a "beggar" so basically she's desperate now she's not getting as much attentioon, so this old bloke comes along & she's all over him. It then repeats: "Dance, dance to the life you wanted When you were only 17 With your good girl dream." As if to say she's changed who she is & her dreams have followed & it's reminding her i think. But then, the last bit is: "She's walkin around all over the town. Needs somebody to notice but the goodness gets her down. She's happy to choose somebody to use. Good gone girl she's got nothin left to lose." She's not who she is, she's "bad" now & has lost the attention she would of got if she stayed who she is, but people are around her ARE good & won't give her that attention, (that's why it's getting her down) She's happy to choose somebody to use, Good gone girl she's got nothing left to lose means she's desperate for someone, because she has nothing or no one & feels as if she needs to "use" somebody to get herself noticed again.

That was long, but please read it:roftl:[/quote'] I love your interpretation, and the general meaning of this song has such obvious links to some lines from Love Today. The narrator perspective in the both songs is pretty dark despite their dance or joyfull sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
