We Are Golden

(Mika)

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No givin' up when you’re young and you want some

Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running

Waking up in the midday sun
What’s to live for?
You could see what I’ve done
Staring at emotion
In the light of day
I was running from the things that you’d say

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
(We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden)

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running
(repeat)

I was a boy at an open door
Why you staring
Do you still think that you know?
Looking for treasure
In the things that you threw
Like a magpie
I live for glitter, not you

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
(We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden)

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Now I’m sitting alone
I’m finally looking around
Left here on my own
I’m gonna hurt myself
Maybe losing my mind
I’m still wondering why
Had to let the world let it bleed me dry

We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running
(repeat)

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

Blame It on the Girls

(Mika)

He's got looks that books take pages to tell
He's got a face to make you fall on your knees
He's got money in the bank to thank and I guess
You could think he's livin' at ease

Like lovers of the good book show -- what's the matter
He's certain there is so much more -- what's the matter
While you're wondering what the hell to do
Are you wishing you were ugly like me?

Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting/hating? on you

Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead

Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys

Life could be simple but you never fail
To complicate it every single time

You could have children and a wife, a perfect little life
But you blow it on a bottle of wine

Like a baby you're a stubborn child -- what's the matter
Always looking for an axe to grind -- what's the matter
While you're wondering what the hell to do
We were wishing we were lucky like you

Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting/hating? on you

Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead

Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys

Life could be simple but you never fail
To complicate it every single time
You could have children and a wife, a perfect little life
But you blow it on a bottle of wine

Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys

Is it really necessary
Every single day
You’re making me more ordinary
And every possible way
This ordinary man is broken
You did it and you don’t even know
You’re leaving me with words unspoken
You better get back because I’m ready for

More than this
Whatever it is
Baby, I hate days like this

Caught in a trap
I cannot get by
Baby I hate days like this

When you let it rain
You let it rain
When you let it rain
You let it rain
When you let it rain
You let it rain
When you let it rain
You let it rain

More than this
Baby I hate days like-

Is it really necessary
Every single day
You’re making me more ordinary
In every possible way

This ordinary man is broken
You did it and you don’t even know
You’re leaving me with words unspoken
But you better get back because I’m ready for

More than this
Whatever it is
Baby, I hate days like this

Caught in a trap
I cannot get by
Baby I hate days like this

When you let it rain
You let it rain
When you let it rain
You let it rain
When you let it rain
You let it rain
When its raining rain
Raining rain

When you let it rain
You let it rain
When you let it rain
You let it rain
When you let it rain
You let it rain
When you let it rain
You let it rain
When its raining rain
Raining rain

More than this
Baby I hate days like this

More than this, baby
I hate days like

Dr John

(Mika)

I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of the bar
From afar
I see the look on my momma's face
When her son's in the corner undone

She says that my life is over
Oh boy you don't know what you got till it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder
She gave me her hand but I ignored her

Oh Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong
Cause I Keep on trying...
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Oh Dr John

I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of the bar
From afar
I see the look on my Daddy's face
When his son's fallen over, undone
Well father my life is over
Well I didn't know what I had now it's gone
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder
If I fall asleep will it be over...

Oh Dr John
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong
Cause I Keep on trying...
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Oh Dr John

What am I doing
What am I doing wrong

Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on

They say I'm a big heartbreaker
But Dr I never hurt you---------
------------------

Oh Dr John
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong

Cause I keep on trying

Something ain't going, something ain't going on

(Another day, another Break up)

Oh Dr John

I keep on trying

You're not alone
You're not alone

(Another day, another Break up)

Oh Dr John

You're not alone
You're not alone

I See You

(Mika)

I'm sitting across from you
And dreaming of the things I do
I don't speak, you don't know me at all

For fear of what you might do
I say nothing but stare at you
And I'm dreaming
I'm trippin' over you

Truth be told
My problems old
You mean the world to be but you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we're risking the way that I see you
That I see you (3x)
That I see

Conversations
Not me at all
I'm hesitating
Only to fall
And I'm waiting, I'm hating everyone

Could it be you fell for me?
And any possible similarity
If its all, how would I know?
You never knew me at all but I see you
But I see you (4x)

I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)

Truth be told, my problems old
You mean the world to me
But you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we're risking the way that I see you
But I see you (4x)

I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
(4x)

But I see you
But I see you
But I see you

Blue Eyes

(Mika)

Your heart is broken
To your surprise
You're sick of crying
For blue eyes
So tired of living
Misunderstood
Think hard woman
I think you should

Come, sorrow is so peculiar
It comes in a day, then it'll never leave you
You take a pill, wonder if it will fix you
They wonder why sorrow has never left you

I'm talkin' bout blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with you?

Ohh, you'll wind up broken
At the end of the round
Won't find your spirit
In a lost and found
Oh I've been watching
How you behave
Not much like a lover
More like a slave

Come, sorrow is so peculiar
It comes in a day, then it'll never leave you
You take a pill, wonder if it will fix you
They wonder why sorrow has never left you

Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you?

Good Gone Girl

(Mika)

Could you believe
The same old story
Yeah it never bores me, though I've heard it all before
Her name was Georgia
And she was gorgeous
When she adored ya the whole room would get to know

Should have gone straight to the last
Danced with the devil do your best
Play the wounded soldier
In a rush just to get to know ya

Hanging out in the fancy bars
With the boys who play guitar
Though that I had to warn ya
She's gonna make it out to California

Hey you, what's a good girl like you doing in this crazy world?
Well it's good gone girl
Dance, dance, to the life you wanted
When you were only 17
With a good girl dream

Ooooooooo
Good gone girl

Could you believe the same old phonies
Those painted ponies
That you've ridden all before
Her name was April
But she was hateful
Enough to make you want to run right out the door

I can tell you what you want the most
After the champagne toast
When the end of the night gets tricky
Don't you know that beggars can't be picky

Lookin' out for a man who's golden
Doesn't matter if his wallet is rollin'
He's looking at you like a desperate hunter
Sugar daddy but he's just a munter

Hey you, what's a good girl like you doing in this crazy world?
Well it's good gone girl
Dance, dance, to the life you wanted
When you were only 17
With a good girl dream
(X2)

Ooooooooo
Good gone girl

She's walking around allover the town, needs somebody to notice but the goodness gets her down.
She's happy to choose somebody to use, Good gone girl she's got nothing left to loose. (X3)

She's walking around allover the town, needs somebody to notice but the goodness gets her down.

Ooooooooo
Good gone girl

Touches You

(Mika)

When you've had enough and you need somebody to know
When you're looking tough but you need a way to let it go
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
When I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
If you're ever losing, losing your way
just stop and listen to the things that they say
To avoid confrontation
You walk away

Growing up when I need to compromise
When I've had enough 20 years and I realize
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
When I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you

When you've had enough and you need somebody to know
When you're looking tough but you need a way to let it go
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
But I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

By the Time

(Mika)

[**feat. Imogen Heap:]

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up

It's the early morn
Lights flick on
Sleepy eyes peek through the blinds at something wrong
Motionless remains the mess
Shame, such a beautiful, beautiful young life

By the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware
By the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
Tell me how am I supposed to care

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up

A trail of clothes two years old
Why did you have to go and leave all this stuff behind
Wasn't I allowed three strikes and out
No, but you said I could, said I could just one night

By the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware

By the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
Tell me how am I supposed to care

If I had let you go, let you go
Would this be different, different
Now I'll never know never know
I didn't get the chance damn you

If I let had you go, let you go
Would this be different, different
Now I'll never know never know
I didn't get the chance damn you

And by the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware

And by the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
Tell me how am I supposed to care

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up

One Foot Boy

(Mika)

What’s a matter
With going places?
Take that gross look off your faces
Empty loving makes me seasick
What you’re here for, I don’t need it

I'll say nothing on your microphone
Till you swear to take me home
There’s a one foot boy eleven stone
He's sitting on my shoulder
I’m too scared to look away,
He comes here almost everyday
And everyday I push him off and tell him boy we’re over

MY OH MY
I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I’m happy on my own

One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!

Say you like me,
But not with changes?
Shut up and forget it
These are my faces
All these colours
That surround me
All these places
Only drown me

I'll say nothing on your microphone
Till you swear to take me home
There’s a one foot boy eleven stone
He's sitting on my shoulder

I’m too scared to look away,
He comes here almost everyday
And everyday I push him off and tell him boy we’re over

MY OH MY
I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I’m happy on my own

I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I’m happy on my own

What’s a matter
with going places?
Take that gross look off your faces
Empty loving makes me seasick
What you here for, I don’t need it

One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!

Happy on my own

Toy Boy

(Mika)

I'm a wind-up toy in an up down world
If you leave me all alone, I'll make a mess for sure
I've a heart of gold and the smartest styles smallest size
Leave me in the dark, you'll never hear me cry

More than an illustration
Points of articulation
Come to life on a brass spring
Such a wonderful plaything

It's a cruel blue cross that I have to bear
Come a little close I'm going to pull your hair
More than just a toy in a patch-blue suit
Hold me in your arms I'm just a boy like you

But your mama thought there was somethin' wrong
Didn't want you sleeping with a boy too long
It's a serious thing in a grown-up world
Maybe you'd be better with a Barbie girl

You were that I adored-ya
But you left me in Georgia
Toys are not sentimental
How could I be for rental?

She's the meanest hag that has ever been
Pulled out my insides with an old safety pin
I'm the sorest sight, now I feel like trash
Clothes are made of rags and they don't even match

So she dressed me up as the man she loved
Then threw me in a box when she had had enough
Now the light of day I no longer see
She stuck her voodoo pins where my eyes used to be

Accidentally tragic
Victim of her black magic
How'd a boy who'd so loved you
Now be so afraid of you?

Pick Up Off the Floor

(Mika)

There's a girl, thought she knew,
What her life was going to do,
Then she goes, and falls in love and throws it all away.

But her man, can't decide,
If he's made the right choice in life,
So she comes home on day to find he's gone away.

Put your heart back in your pocket,
Pick your love up off the floor
When your momma says you're stopping,
But girl, let me tell you more:
If he's 95 or 22,
A boy's gonna do what he's gonna do,
He says he don't love you anymore,
So pick up off the floor.

Walks around an empty town,
Sees his face coming around,
Every corner takes on a similar stay.

Love is lost, life can burn,
But your luck will return,
But if you're dragging it down you won't know it's there

Pick your love, love, love (pick up off the floor)
Oooooooooh (pick up off the floor)

Put your heart back in your pocket,
Pick your love up off the floor
When your momma says you're stopping
But girl let me tell you more
If he's 95 or 22
A boy's gonna do what he's gonna do
He says he don't love you anymore
So pick up off the floor

Lover Boy

(Mika)

Any boy

Isn’t it enough, isn’t it enough just to feel wild and free?
Caught up in the rough, caught up in the rough of life, looking at me
You think you're in love, boy
But you don't really know what love is
You think you're in love, girl
But honey let me show you where you're heart is

Loverboy, it’s just an illusion to me
Any boy, I'd show you what you would feel
A pretty boy with a nasty trait
A funny boy with an ugly face,
Love is just a superficial reaction

Isn't it enough,Isn’t it enough just to feel wild and free?
Caught up in the rough, caught up in the rough of life, lookin' at me
You think you're in love, boy
But you don't really know what love is
You think you're in love, girl
But honey let me show you where your heart is

Loverboy, it's just an illusion to me
Any boy, I'd show you what you would feel
A pretty boy with a nasty trait,
A funny boy with an ugly face,
Love is just a functionary momentary caution

Loverboy, it's just an illusion to me,
Any boy, and what you would feel,
A pretty boy with a nasty trait,
A funny boy with an ugly face,
Love is just a superficial reaction
