Lookovermyshoulder Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 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' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengafer Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 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 Horaay for Kata so these are the right lyrics then and i agree with look over about the fork thing! its like a saying:thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jodi_ice Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 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??)

Kata Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Guess I should put these here as well 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 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. 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 Glad to see someone agrees with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vixenbbw Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ???

dcdeb Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Holy Johnny~!!!! i love this song! srry theyre probably really off since i had to listen to the live version!! 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 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 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 dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
