MIKA - Toy Boy (CD Version)

Paroles/Lyrics :

Im a wind-up toy in an up down world
If you leave me all alone, Ill make a mess for sure
Ive a heart of gold in the smallest size
Leave me in the dark, youll never hear me cry

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

Its a cruel cross that I have to bear
If you come a little close Im going to pull your hair
More than just a toy in a patch-blue suit
Hold me in your arms Im just a boy like you

But your mama thought there was somethin wrong
Didnt want you sleeping with a boy too long
Its a serious thing in a grown-up world
Maybe youd 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?

Shes the meanest hag that has ever been
Pulled out my insides with an old safety pin
Im the sorest sight, now I feel like trash
Clothes are made of rags and they dont 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
Had a boy once who loved me
Now he's so afraid of me

On a long lost day when you're gray and dull
You'll be there remembering your old toy boy
When your oldest son wonderin' what to be
Tell him the story of a boy like me

In an interview he said that he fell in love with a person for who they are not what they are. He doesn't label himself but if someone else wanted to he supposed they could call him Bisexual, but that's not what he is. He's pansexual, that's the actual term for what he is. It's really touching to me, since I also am that.

every song sung by Mika always has a special tone and style. I love this style. Mika looks so artist and major! His music grace my soul very much!!!

[CloudCircus]

this is sort of a rip-off of "coin operated boy" by the Dresden Dolls.

Good song though : )

[LaceRose1996]

Wow every song by him is different and amazing in their own way, all on different themes, not like shit music in American pop culture about sex, getting girls, sappy love, and BREAK-UPS.

I Love Him <3 He's so talented :)

[cuongoff]

I don't know if i'm interpreting the lyrics correctly. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. He fell in love with a guy but the guy's mom didn't agree. Later he put on a facade, pretending to be a lover to a woman who just used him and in the end he's saying when the guy gets old he'll remember him and accept his son whatever his choice in sexuality is?

[Tiasheng]

@jpike430 They only tease because they don't understand it fully. But I'm glad you've figured yourself out. :D

[jpike430]

@Tiasheng i am also the same as you and people tease me about it but i think that it is best to look beyond the skin and into the deeper meaning. thanks

[omgitismason]

Who cares what sexuality he is? JUST ENJOY THE AMAZING SONG!

[camirico]
