naive alibi from the cutie

Singer : New Radicals

90 miles outside Chicago
Can’t stop driving
I don’t know why
So many questions
I need an answer
Two years later, you’re still on my mind
Whatever happened to Emilia Earhart
Who holds the stars up in the sky
Is true love once in a lifetime
Did the captain of the Titanic cry
Someday we’ll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we’ll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we’ll know
Why I wasn’t meant for you
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis
Or what the wind says when she cries
I’m speeding by the place where I met you
For the 97th time tonight

[chorus]
Someday we’ll know
Why Samson loved Delilah
One day I’ll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you’ll know
That I was the one for you
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash in the sea
If I could ask God just one question
Why aren’t you here with me?

[chorus]

seeing you in February was great
cliches eventually all come true “time heals all
wounds” I went to get us our ninth drink
and you ran out the door with another guy
I woke up on the floor with my shoes on
A smile on my face and I don’t even care)

review : iya, gw tau ini lagu lama… biar pun begitu, ada masa-masanya ngangenin lagu ini juga untuk diputar kembali. Kali ini saya mendengarkan sungguh-sunguh liriknya, ternyata terdengar manis dan pasrah sekali ya…

Baru aja baca dari official site, nih…

MIKA Debut Art Exhibition – 11-14 July 2007

30/04/2007

MIKA announces a major exhibition of the art created around the release of his number one debut album ‘Life in Cartoon Motion’, showing at the Blink Gallery, Poland Street in London from 11-14th July 2007. It will include original paintings, sketches and drawings that went into his artwork as well as other art pieces he has created over the years. The style of MIKA’s art is a riot of colour and ideas referencing pop art, 60’s pysch art and illustrators/comic artistes such as Tony Millionaire and Jim Woodring, It will be co-curated by Mika, the artist Da Wack (MIKA’s sister who painstakingly hand-paints his designs) and the design company Airside (Lemon Jelly, Pet Shop Boys etc) who help turn MIKA’s art into sleeve designs. The exhibition will be an exciting immersive environment, with everything from walls, windows and doors painted in abstract psychedelic murals, the embodiment of ‘Mika-world’. Colourful and irreverent, this will be the antithesis of the traditional art gallery concept with an opportunity to get up close to the creations that have won over thousands of fans and critics including Billy Brown, Big Girl and Lollipop Girl. MIKA says: “I created a world for my music to exist within and we wanted to allow people to immerse themselves in this via this exhibition. It is important to create an exiting environment. I want it to feel like you are walking into the “world of Mika”. Colourful, psychedelic and irreverent, not serious and stuffy like a boring gallery.”

Damned, pengen banget liat karya-karyanya.  Colourful, psychedelic and irreverent, not serious and stuffy like a boring gallery. See… !!!

I said hey girl you are beautiful
Diet coke and a pizza please

You take your girl and multiply about four
Now a whole lot of woman needs a whole lot more

(Chorus)
Get yourself to the butterfly lounge
Find yourself a big lady

A water in the whole
With girls all around
Curves in the right places

Diet coke im on my knees
Screaming, big girl you are beautiful

(Repeat chorus)

big girl you are beautiful (x4)

(Repeat chorus)

Review : haha…gw suka banget lagu ini, top bgt liriknya… Big girl you are beautiful…

My Interpretation

by Mika

You talk about life, you talk about death,
And everything in between,
Like it’s nothing, and the words are easy.
You talk about me, and you talk about you,
And everything I do,
Like it’s something, that needs repeating.
I don’t need an alibi or for you to realize,
The things we left unsaid,
Are only taking space up in our head.
Make it my fault, win the game
Point the finger, place the blame
It does me up and down,
It doesn’t matter now.

[chorus:]
‘Cause I don’t care if I ever talk to you again.
This is not about emotion,
I don’t need a reason not to care what you say,
Or what happened in the end.
This is my interpretation,
And it don’t, don’t make sense.

The first two weeks turn into ten,
I hold my breath and wonder when it’ll happen,
Does it really matter?
If half of what you said is true,
And half of what I didn’t do could be different,
Would it make it better?
If we forget the things we know.
Would we have somewhere to go?
The only way is down, I can see that now.

[chorus]

It’s really not such a sacrifice

[chorus]

And it don’t have to make no sense to you at all,
‘Cause this is my interpretation, yeah, yeah, yeah.

singer : Mika

ooooooh oh oh

I sit and think about the day that you’re gonna die,
‘Cos 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 it better, stormy weather,
So hard to know.

Oh, oh, oh – Is there anybody home?
Who will believe me, won’t deceive me, or 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 each other.
And with your bitter words you kick me in the gutter.
But my troops are bigger than yours
‘Cause 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?

Oh, oh, oh – Is there anybody home?
Who will believe me, won’t deceive me, or try to change me?
Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home?
Who wants to have me, just to love me?
Stuck in the middle.
Yea…Yea…Yea…

This is who I am
This ain’t a greater plan to break your heart of me.
I know that what I’ve started means that when we have parted
I can live in honesty!

Oh, oh, oh – Is there anybody home?
Who will believe me, won’t deceive me, or try to change me?
Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home?
Who wants to have me, just to love me?
Stuck in the middle,
Stuck in the middle,
Stuck in the middle,
Stuck in the middle

Way Back Into Love

I’ve been living with a shadow overhead
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past
I just can’t seem to move on

I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I’ve been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but i just don’t see the signs
I know that it’s out there
There’s got to be something for my soul somewhere

I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I’m open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end

Oh oh oh

There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end

Oh oh oh
