CallieFornia Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I'm not getting the father line properly. It sounds like there's something else in there but I have no idea what. - on this video it sounds like, 'now he tries, every day, to forget about the father who couldn't show the way'.

Hannah Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Okay, bolded is what I'm quite positive is correct. I listened to three different recordings from three different shows and they all seemed to match up. I definitely hear "The Holy Father and the Mother can show the way," and it seems as if he says, "He still don't know that..." before, which would make sense. Mika is Roman Catholic, so he may be talking about God and the Virgin Mary in that part. I'm not 100% sure about the ending of the second verse. I definitely hear "I'm not a boy," and in one recording it sounds like "To forget it all," but in the other two it doesn't. I hear the word "let," followed by something else in the Zenith and Bologna recordings. It's quite garbled and he's singing quickly. Hopefully someone will get a good recording tonight and we'll be able to put it together further. How Much (Do You Love Me): There's a boy His father's bad He's living on the road And it's so sad Now he cries Every day He still don't know that the Holy Father and the Mother Can show the way There's a girl Her momma's gone To love another man Who couldn't carry on Now she cries Every day To forget about her mother She runs away How much do you love me How much do you care How much do you need me When I'm not there How much do you love me How much do you care How much do you miss me When I'm not there Do do do do do...etc In this life We live and learn To lose what we love And get what hurts I'm a boy To forget it all Gotta love every minute Of every hour more *chorus* Gotta love you more, Gotta love you more Gotta love you more, Gotta love you more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertina Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 callie...he def says 'carry on' at the end of that line! hannah...yr post with the lyrics disappeared! christine.... i agree there is something more, but he says 'ask the holy father to show him the way' and points up to heaven. i'm sure we will have the ultimate version after all uk gigs! listening to him and watching him alive will help us!

Hannah Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 hannah...yr post with the lyrics disappeared! Yes, I deleted it. I had just kind of absentmindedly fixed some of the things in Callie's post, and then I decided to go back and do the lyric analysis again so I deleted it in order to add more stuff in.

CallieFornia Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Yeah Robertina I changed my post - you are right about the 'carry on' part! I think Hannah's lyrics seem to be the correct ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, after the "now he cries/tries (whatever), everyday" part, I can clearly hear him say "_____________father and a mother...." What do you guys think?

Also, after the "now he cries/tries (whatever), everyday" part, I can clearly hear him say "_____________father and a mother...." What do you guys think? Yeah, it definitely is "living." Sorry, I didn't fix that when I copied it. I'm just so confused with the "father and mother" line. I hear "Holy father and the Mother," but that's just me. Mika's pointing and looking up to the Heavens, like robertina said, gives that part away a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, after the "now he cries/tries (whatever), everyday" part, I can clearly hear him say "_____________father and a mother...." What do you guys think? I think sometimes it's 'sitting on the road', sometimes 'sleeping' and sometimes 'living'. I hear all of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well he could be saying "Holy," I just wasn't paying attention to that haha.

Hannah Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hm. Maybe he's saying "Only father," and holding up his fingers like the number "one." Gah, this is confusing me. Someone just needs to ask him after a gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Okay, I've done something weird. I opened up the Bologna recording in an audio editing program, cut that part out and slowed it down. Now I AM hearing "Holy Father and the Mother," but I still don't understand the first bit. I'll upload it and you have you guys interpret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
