RosieLou Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Sorry to have gotten your hopes up but I'm not Mika! I just like the 'Over My Shoulder' song and noticed that there was some confusion over the words Wouldn't Mika say that? Or he'd be bombarded with PMs. It's ok, I believe you lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieLou Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I keep hearing an extra syllable before "cautionary"... I figured it out, it's: Two kids, a dog, and then the cautionary wife. Just out of interest what is 'cautionary'? Is it like cautious? Is it a made up word? My mum says it is. I don't mind, I'm just interested.

titania Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I just looked up 'cautionary' to make sure-- worried I only assumed it was a real word-- but it is--- "marked by caution;cautious". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 It's in the dictionary. cau·tion·ar·y /[kaw-shuh-ner-ee] –adjective of the nature of or containing a warning: cautionary advice; a cautionary tale. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Origin: 1590–1600; caution + -ary] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoppappop Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I was sitting on the fence And I thought that I would kiss you I never thought I would miss you But you never let me fall Push my back against the wall Everytime you call You get so emotional I'm freaking out ! Ring Ring ! Is that you on the phone ? You think you're clever but you never say nothing at all Hey hey ! The way you spin me around You make me dizzy when you play me like a kid with a crown You got a dangerous obsession Now I'm in need of some protection That was never my intention Used to love me, now you hate me Say I drove you crazy Well if I did you made me Won't somebody save me from you now Ring Ring ! Is that you on the phone ? You think you're clever but you never say nothing at all Hey Hey ! The way you spin me around You make me dizzy when you play me like a kid with a crown It's what I wanted Until you blast it ! Why won't you leave me alone ! Hang up the phone just let me go ! Ring Ring ! Is that you on the phone You think you're clever but you never say nothing at all Hey hey ! The way you spin me around You make me dizzy when you play me like a kid with a crown Ring Ring ! Is that you on the phone You think you're clever but you never say nothing at all Hey hey !

Until you ... me Why won't you leave me alone ! Hang up the phone just save me ! hey yoppapop, i think the bits missing are: 'You make me dizzy when you play me like a kid with a crown' 'Say I drove you crazy Well if I did you made me' 'It's what I wanted Until you lost it' 'Hang up the phone just let me go!' I love this song, specially the computer game noises in the background! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoppappop Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Thank you you 2 !! We made it ! I actually heard "with a crown" (and "dizzy" the first times, then i heard "busy"), but i was not sure about the meaning... is it an expression or does just a kid playing with a crown make people dizzy ??? OR is a kid with a crown dizzy ?? I must admit i don't get it... Anyway now, we have the whole album lyrics... What are we going to do now ??

Lookovermyshoulder Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 This has been posted on the facebook group Mika - Life in Cartoon Motion which is run by the guy who's on the album singing the backing vocals to Over my shoulder: Lyrics to Over My Shoulder: (noticed that there isn't actually a correct version anywhere online) Over my shoulder Running away Feels like I'm falling Losing my day Cold and dry Cold and dry Fork out my daylight Torture my night Feels like I'm falling Far out of sight Cold, drunk Time lost Over my shoulder Running away Feels like I'm falling Losing my way Cold, dry Cold and dry Fork out my daylight Torture my night Feels like I'm falling Far out of sight Cold, drunk Cold and drunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMariax Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Thanks for the Over my shoulder lyrics, been looking for them all day and the last place I checked was this place. How stupid can you be? I love the song, beautiful lyrics, beautifully sang. It still makes me cry, and I've listened to it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahara Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Anyway now, we have the whole album lyrics... What are we going to do now ?? Perhaps we can now search all the lyrics for the covers Mika performed Sorry, but I only know 2 Harry Nilsson ~ Everybody's Talkin' Everybody's talking at me I don't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind People stop and staring I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes I'm going where the sun keeps shining Through the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Backing off of the North East wind Sailing on the summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone [Repeat Song] Joe Dassin ~ Aux Champs Elysées (the part Mika sang at Tartata ) Je m'baladais sur l'avenue le coeur ouvert àl'inconnu J'avais envie de dire bonjour àn'importe qui N'importe qui et ce fut toi, je t'ai dit n'importe quoi Il suffisait de te parler, pour t'apprivoiser Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées Au soleil, sous la pluie, àmidi ou àminuit Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daisylou Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 re Over my Shoulder I think it's block ... but I can hear an f sound. I tried fog, but that doesn't seem to work it's definitely ock rather than og at the end! Think it`s FORGOT my daylight. Also Im not sure but at first sounds like cold and DRY not DRUNK??

RAK1 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 ^^^ I'm with you, I thought it was "forgot my daylight", not criticising Mika, but fork out doesn't really make a lot of sense, unless it is a personal thing to him. And checking out one of those links and looking at what they have as lyrics, WAAY off base, some of them sound NOTHING like what he sings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckar Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Does Mika acutally have the real lyrics posted? The things in the CD case dont help cause its really hard to read lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giedrusia_NY Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Don't forget Mika's newest song "Erase". Many thanks to Lylemma Erase Lyrics -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I shouldn't have called so late last night All insecure, out of my mind I shouldn't have left that message on your phone I shouldn't have said the things I said Looking for love we left for dead In a grave without a stone As soon as you hear my voice Don't hesitate Put your finger on the button (Chorus) Erase, my love I bet you can't erase my touch You're trying to replace A feeling without a name With somebody else's face In your head Everything's cool, your rent is paid The house is clean, your bed is made but it's a ghost town in your mind We never had time to go to sleep We'd wake up tangled in the sheets On a bed that we called home When the pain won't go away You might as well put your finger on the trigger (Chorus) Erase, my love I bet you can't erase my touch You're trying to replace A feeling without a name With somebody else's face In your head Erase Erase, my love I bet you can't erase my touch You're trying to replace A feeling without a name With somebody else's face In your head Erase Erase You're trying to replace A feeling without a name With somebody else's face In your head Erase Ohooooooh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cautionary Wife Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Lyrisc seem to have been move here for Erase, so apologies if repeating what I think are possible corrections Uninsecure = insecure ghost down = ghost town bed that we can't hold = bed taht we called home Fantastic song, IMHO.

Kata Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Parts of the lyrics for Stuck in the middle that are posted in this thread are quite far from what I hear If that's the best we've got then I'll have a go I sit and think about the day that you're gonna die your wrinkled eyes betray the joy with which you smile care to see my reason? care to put your life in mine? looking at life from the perspective of a boy who's learned to love you but has also learned to grow could we make make it better? stormy weather it's so hard to know Ah ah ah is there anybody home? who would believe me, won't decieve me, won't try to change me ah ah ah is there anybody home? who wants to have me, just to love me stuck in the middle I look at you, you look at me, we bite eachother and with your bitter words you kick me in the gutter But my troops are bigger than yours - you'll never stand my fight ours is a family that's based upon tradition but with my careless words I tread upon your vision Are five kids better than one who doesn't like to become Ah ah ah is there anybody home? who would believe me, won't decieve me, won't try to change me ah ah ah is there anybody home? who wants to have me, just to love me stuck in the middle This is just who I am this ain't a greater plan to break your heart over me I know that what I've started means that when we have parted I can live in honesty Ah ah ah is there anybody home? who would believe me, won't decieve me, won't try to change me ah ah ah is there anybody home? who wants to have me, just to love me stuck in the middle Maybe someone who speaks better English than I do can correct it It just annoyed me a bit that it seems nothing has been done to it since it was first posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
