avoca Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 thx so much for these.. still dunno what've the mad chickens or whatever, got to do with it, but maybe I'm missing the poetry of it all.. I love the mellody though and the lyrics seem pretty poignant to me, unless I am misuderstanding them completely..

natmika Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I'm loving what I am hearing so far. A lot of people were comparing Dr. John with Billy Brown a while ago (I suppose it's the storytelling), but I think this is the Stuck in the middle of the bunch. Very personal and typical Mika happy tune sad lyrics. Did I say that I love it yet? Oh, and thanks to the people that are trying to get the lyrics, I couldn't do it in a million years:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkly1 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 O000ooooooo000 me loves this one too, thanx for the lyrics so far peeps (tho I hear HUNT not look, but maybe I am a bit of an animal lol). I agree that this is more like SITM-ish but do you think the character is Holy Jonny (well same name after all) It is very catchy but then so are a lot of M's songs I still love TB but I think BE would make a EXCELLENT summer single it has a holiday sound and feel to it.

Vélez Patti Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) Thanks to everybody who put the song and then the lyrics here You guys are just amazing It's really nice to be part of such group of loyal fans I liked Dr. John a lot and I tend to agree with who said that is like SITM. A happy music with sad or deep lyrics. This is the biggest mark of Mika. He keeps saying deep things in such sweet way that you almost forget the sadness there.
