The Boy Who Knew Too Much

Mika The Boy Who Knew Too Much Lyrics
1.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 from running
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 from running
Running around again
Running from running

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 from running
Running around again
Running from running

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.


2.Blame It On the Girls

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
When you're 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 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 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

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

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

Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting 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

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


3.Rain

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

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

Caught in a trap
I can't look back
Baby, I hate days like this

When it rain and rain
And rain and rain
When it rain and rain
And rain and rain

When it rain and rain
And rain and rain
When it rain and rain
And rain and rain

More than this
Baby, I hate days like -

Trying to be ordinary
Was it me who was the fool
Thought you found the man you wanted
Until you turned him into something new
Even if our minds are broken
There's something that I need you to know
It's nothing like the life we wanted
You better move on 'cause I'm ready for

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

Caught in a trap
I can't look back
Baby, I hate days like this

When it rain and rain
And rain and rain
When it rain and rain
And rain and rain

When it rain and rain
And rain and rain
When it rain and rain
And rain and rain

When it rain and rain
And rain and rain
When it rain and rain
And rain and rain

When it rain and rain
And rain and rain
When it rain and rain
And rain and rain

More than this
Baby, I hate days like -

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

Caught in a trap
I can't look back
Baby, I hate days like this

When it rain and rain
And rain and rain
When it rain and rain
And rain and rain

When it rain and rain
And rain and rain
When it rain and rain
And rain and rain

When it rain and rain
And rain and rain
When it rain and rain
And rain and rain

When it rain and rain
......
You're leaving me with words unspoken
You better get back 'cause I'm ready for

More than this
Baby, I hate days like -


4.Dr. John

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
In the back of the bar
From afar
I see the look on my Daddy's face
When his son's fallen over, undone

Father my life is over
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

You 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
We hold on and on,we hold on and on and on
(Another day, another wake up)I keep on trying
We hold on and on,we hold on and on and on
(Another day, another Break up)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
Dr John


5.I See You

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 solved
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 it's 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 problem solved
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
But I see you


6.Blue Eyes

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

Come, sorrow is so peculiar
Comes in a day
Then it'll never leave you
You take a pill
Wonder if it will fix you
Then wonder why
Sorrow has never left you

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

Your heart got broken
On the underground
Go find your spirit
In the 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
Comes in a day
Then it'll never leave you
You take a pill
Wonder if it will fix you
Then wonder why
Sorrow has never left you

I'm talkin' bout blue eyes, blue eyes
What's a matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's a matter, matter
So blind, so blind
What's a matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's a matter with...

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

What's a matter with you?


7.Good Gone Girl

Could you believe
The same old story
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.

Like a movie that is filled with lust (filmed? to the last?)
Coming at you with a double D bust.
At the bed of a wounded soldier
In a rush cause she's gettin older.

Hanging out in the fancy bars
With the boys who can play guitar.
Listen up 'cause I've got to warn ya
She's gonna make it out in California.

Hey you what's a good girl like you
Doin' in this crazy world?
Where's the good gone girl?

Dance, dance to the life you wanted
When you were only 17
With your good girl dream.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 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
Hang around for 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 he's old, he's rollin'.
Coming at you like a desperate hunter
Sugar daddy but he's just a munter.

Hey you what's a good girl like you
Doin' in this crazy world?
Where's the good gone girl?

Dance, dance to the life you wanted
When you were only 17
With your good girl dream.

Hey you what's a good girl like you
Doin' in this crazy world?
Where's the good gone girl?

Dance, dance to the life you wanted
When you were only 17
With your good girl dream.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh good gone girl

She's walkin around all over 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 nothin left to lose. Repeats

She's walkin around all over 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 nothin left to lose. Repeats

She's walkin around all over the town.
Needs somebody to notice but the goodness gets her down.


8.Touches You

You think you're better, u better than me
You blow me off, it's history
To avoid a conversation, you know me

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

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
Sister of that lover

what am I here to you
Whatever else I supposed to do
Can't you leave you alone
Touching me touching you

Sister of that love
what am I here to you
Whatever else I supposed to do
Can't you leave you alone
Touching me touching you

Sister or a lover
what am I here to you
Whatever else I supposed to do
Can't you leave you alone
Whatever else that touches you


9.By the Time (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 morning, lights' be gone
Sleeping eyes be through the blank and be something wrong
Motionless and things are 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 d'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

would I let you go, let you go, 'Don't wake up, won't wake up,
can't wake up,'
could this be different, different, 'no, don't wake me up'
I wanna love you know, love you know, 'Don't wake up, won't wake
up, can't wake up,'
I didn't get the chance to stand you, 'no, don't wake me up'

would I let you go, let you go, 'Don't wake up, won't wake up,
can't wake up,'
could this be different, different, 'no, don't wake me up'
I wanna love you know, love you know, 'Don't wake up, won't wake
up, can't wake up,'
I didn't get the chance to stand you, 'no, don't wake me up'

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

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


10.One Foot Boy

What's the matter with going places?
Take that gross look off your faces
Empty lovin' makes me seasick
What you're here for, I don't need it

Sing nothing on your microphone
Tell you straight -take me home
There's a one foot boy, eleven stone
Sittin on my shoulder
I'm too scared to look away,
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 and left here
wondering why it's crazy all alone
what do I do
Nothin' left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own

Don't stay! One foot boy, one foot boy
Get lost in you, one foot boy, one foot boy
Don't stay! one foot boy, one foot boy
Rescue me

Say you like me, not with changes
Shut up and forget it, these are my faces
All these colours, that surround me
All these places, only drown me

Sing nothing on your microphone
Tell you straight -take me home
There's a one foot boy, eleven stone
Sittin on my shoulder
I'm too scared to look away,
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 and left here
wondering why it's crazy all alone
what do I do
Nothin' left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own

Don't stay! Get lost in you/rescue me
I think my mind is gone and left here
wondering why it's crazy all alone
what do I do
Nothin' left but pray
I'm a shoot somebody / Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own

What's the matter with going places?
Take that gross look off your faces
Empty lovin' makes me seasick
What you're here for, I don't need it

Don't stay! One foot boy, one foot boy, I'm happy on my own
Get lost in you, one foot boy, one foot boy, I'm happy on my own
Don't stay! one foot boy, one foot boy, I'm happy on my own
Rescue me


11.Toy Boy

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 in a 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 cross that I have to bear
If you come a little closer, I'm going to pull your hair
More than just a toy in a patched blue suit
When you hold me in your arms, I'm just a boy like you

But your mama thought there was something 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 knew 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
Had a boy once who loved me
Now he's so afraid of me

On a long lost day when you're grey and old
Would you be there remembering your old toy boy?
When your only son's wondering what to be
Tell him the story of a boy like me

Oooooo
Oooooooo


12.Pick Up Off the Floor

There is a girl, I thought you knew
What I was goin' to do,
Wench girls falls in love through it all the way
But a man can't decide
If this made the right choice, did that
So she comes home only to find he's gone away...

Put your heart back in your pocket
Pick your love up off the floor
Well your mama says you're stoppin'
But girl, let me tell you more:
If he's 95 or 22, 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 take all innocent to stay.
Love is lost, love can burn,
but your love, will return.
but if you try to get down, you know it's there

Put your heart back in your pocket
Pick your love up off the floor
Well your mama says you're stoppin'
But girl, let me tell you more:
If he's 95 or 22, boy's gonna do what he's gonna do
He says he don't love you anymore,
so pick up off the floor

Put your heart back in your pocket
Pick your love up off the floor
Well your mama says you're stoppin'
But girl, let me tell you more:
If he's 95 or 22, boy's gonna do what he's gonna do
He says he don't love you anymore,
so pick up off the floor

Put your love, your love~~ yeah ~~
Pick up off the floor

Put your heart back in your pocket
Pick your love up off the floor
Well your mama says you're stoppin'
But girl, let me tell you more:
If he's 95 or 22, boy's gonna do what he's gonna do
He says he don't love you anymore,
so pick up off the floor


13.Lover 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, 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
Anyboy
I'd show you what you would feel.
A pretty boy with a nasty trace,
A funny boy with an ugly face,
Love is just a superficial reaction.
