Mika song lyrics

Recommended Posts

Fork makes sense....it's somewhat archaic but one can "fork" out a living, or fork out a defence etc...

 

It's DEFINITELY fork guys...it's been confirmed by the guy who sings with him on the record check it out - if you're on facebook search for a group called 'Mika - life in cartoon motion'

Parts of the lyrics for Stuck in the middle that are posted in this thread are quite far from what I hear :o If that's the best we've got then I'll have a go :boxed:

 

 

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 :fisch: It just annoyed me a bit that it seems nothing has been done to it since it was first posted :o

 

Horaay for Kata so these are the right lyrics then :roftl::thumb_yello:

erase, some corrections if my ears are right lol

 

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

 

(Chorus)

Erase, my love

I bet you can erase my touch (Is it can or cant? it sounds to me like it could be cant and that would make more sense i think saying ha you're trying to replace me but you cant even forget my touch??)

 

 

We never had time to go to sleep

We'd wake up tangled in the sheets

On a bed that we called home

Maybe he changes the lyrics for fun, like on lollipop girl i think he says whore and bore, one in the back ground and one on top(bore)..but there is a thread about lollipop girl whore or bore.

Guess I should put these here as well :blink:

 

Your Sympathy

 

Running out of breath

chasing down a big parade

raising up my hand

thought I'd beg the marching band to play for me

all of these illusions

they really mean the world to me

 

don't make me out to be

this helpless child of misery

maybe love is what I need

but not your sympathy

 

In and out of space

I'm always somewhere in bewtween

I try to make amends

but instead I make a mess of things for me

I try to paint by numbers

but nothing's black and white for me

 

don't make me out to be

this helpless child of misery

maybe love is what I need

but not your sympathy

 

nothing and noone

can make your lies the truth

and noone can stand inside your shoes but you

 

don't make me out to be

this helpless child of misery

maybe love is what I need

but not your sympathy

I agree with your lyrics Kata... Makes a lot of sense now !!

 

Me too - especially 'won't try to change me'. I had been thinking I was the only person who was hearing won't and change ... usually I am the world's worst for mishearing lyrics. :blush-anim-cl:

I'm usually also quite bad at mishearing lyrics (I got a line in Lollipop to She's a slut so she wants more:fisch:) but this one I was so sure of, so it really annoyed me to see "will try to teach me" or "who'll try to teach me" everywhere I looked, as it kinda goes directly against the meaning I would like to think the song has :blink: Glad to see someone agrees with me :mf_rosetinted:

I keep hearing an extra syllable before "cautionary"...

 

I figured it out, it's:

 

Two kids, a dog, and then the cautionary wife.

 

Ithink is you know kinda confusing lol took me ages to figure it out 2. Well done! :thumb_yello:

In Love Today he says

"Carolina sits on 95

Give her a dollar and she'll make you smile

Hook her, book her, nook her "

 

And I've tried to find the translation in french for nook but I've not found it.

 

What does "nook" mean?

Remember that some of the words are on the CD insert........just that there are misquoted words on here that are already written there!

I did email Mikamyspace when the CD came out here in the UK and asked if the lyrics could be posted on here but to no avail!

I know from what he says in interviews that he likes to keep some mystery about the meanings of the songs so maybe he feels that writing them all down for us is too easy...or straight forward. Like we should be discovering them bit by bit whilst listening to the album. Just a thought!

Oh, and I take "nook" to equate to "nooky" which is a slag term for sex in England. I also think as its a play on words.....book, hook, nook.......that its saying u can book a hooker, f**k her...then just walk away. Obviously, using f**k would be a little too much within the context of Mika's work. So nook was used instead?

Holy Johnny~!!!! i love this song! srry theyre probably really off since i had to listen to the live version!!

 

 

Holy Johnny

 

Man made johnnys a looker

His habit is a one night stand

He would walk the streets in/and a usual wave to ya

O what a pretty man

a Man made john was a lover

He fell for the girl next door

She said Johnny I cant be with you

Youre pretty but youre also a bore

Who knew finding love was not so easy

Cuz people thought that it was too peculiar

So what was left for poor old johnny

At least he found out that Jesus loves ya

 

Holy

When he once was a whore

Now he's a priest at 24

and now he's Holy

What he wanted the most

[?]and hes left with holy ghost/ holy goes ???

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me

 

Man made johnnys a preacher

[?] Hes holy as they call[?]

[?]...................

[?]...................

For love was good to poor old johnny

He hid his life behind the walls of religion

But what was left was not so _?___

Cuz i lost my friend to his new found position

 

And now hes holy

when he once was a whore

now hes a priest at 24

Cuz hes holy

What he wanted the most

[?] and hes left with holy ghost/holy goes ???

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me

Thanks for this!

I don't think you're *really* off, but I've been listening too and think

maybe I have a few corrections, or suggested possibilities...

 

Holy Johnny

 

 

Man made johnnys a looker

 

I think it's actually "My mate Johnny's a looker"

 

His habit is a one night stand

He would walk the streets in/and a usual wave to ya

O what a pretty man

a Man made john was a lover

He fell for the girl next door

She said Johnny I cant be with you

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me

 

It's definitely Holy Ghost

 

Man made johnnys a preacher

[?] Hes holy as they call[?]

[?]...................

[?]...................

For love was good to poor old johnny

He hid his life behind the walls of religion

But what was left was not so _?___

Cuz i lost my friend to his new found position

 

This where I think I can fill in some. To me it sounds like:

 

My mate Johnny's a preacher

He's holy as they come

He said follow the lord and the lord'll be good

and then he started callin' me son

For God? was good to poor old Johnny

He hid his life behind the walls of religion

But what was left was not so funny

Cuz i lost my friend to his newfound position

 

And now hes holy

when he once was a whore

now hes a priest at 24

Cuz hes holy

What he wanted the most

[?] and hes left with holy ghost/holy goes ???

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me

 

So... just to recap, I think we have pretty much the whole thing now,

maybe a word or two off?

 

I'll put the whole song, as we have it here:

 

Holy Johnny

 

My mate Johnny's a looker

His habit is a one night stand

He would walk the streets in the usual way

O what a pretty man

My mate Johnny was a lover

He fell for the girl next door

She said Johnny I can't be with you

You're pretty but you're also a bore

Finding love was not so easy

Cuz people thought that he was too peculiar

So what was left for poor old Johnny

At least he found out that Jesus loves ya

 

Holy

Well he once was a whore

Now he's a priest at 24

Cuz he's holy

And he wanted the most

Now he's left with Holy Ghost

I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me

I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me

 

My mate Johnny's a preacher

He's holy as they come

He says follow the lord and the lord'll be good

And then he started callin' me son

 

For God? [i think] was good to poor old Johnny

He hid his life behind the walls of religion

what was left was not so funny

Cuz I lost my friend to his new-found position

 

Now he's holy

when he once was a whore

now he's a priest at 24

Cuz he's holy

What he wanted the most

now he's left with holy ghost

I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me

I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me

I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me
