• Titre : 10 - Mika - Happy Ending
• Album : Life In Cartoon Motion
• Année : 2007

Paroles :

his is the way you left me.
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Wake up in the morning,
Stumble on my life.
Can't get no love without sacrifice.
If anything should happen,
I guess I wish you well.
Mm A little bit of heaven,
With a little bit of hell.

This is the hardest story that I've ever told. (ooooo)
No hope, no love, no glory.
A happy ending's gone forever more.
I feel as if I'm wasted,
And I'm wasted everyday.

This is the way you left me.
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Two o'clock in the morning,
Something's on my mind.
Can't get no rest,
Keep walking around.
If I pretend that nothing ever went wrong
I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on.

This is the hardest story that I've ever told. (ooooo)
No hope, no love, no glory.
A happy ending's gone forever more.
I feel as if I'm wasted,
And I'm wasted everyday.

This is the way you left me, (Oh I feel as if I'm wasted)
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending.
This is the way that we love, (And I'm wasted everyday)
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Little bit of love {x26}

Little bit of love (I feel as if I'm wasted)
Little bit of love {x7}
Little bit of love (And I'm wasted everyday)
Little bit of love {x7}

This is the way you left me. (Little bit of love .. continues repeating)
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like its forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

This is the way you left me.
(Little bit of love .. {continues repeating})
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

This is the way you left me.
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending

Mica Penniman (né le 18 août 1983 à Beyrouth, Liban) dit Mika, est un chanteur de pop anglaise de nationalité libano-américaine vivant à Londres.

Né à Beyrouth d'une mère libanaise et d'un père américain. Mika est très jeune lorsque sa famille quitte le Liban pour Paris. Il effectue alors sa maternelle à Paris.

Lorsqu'il a neuf ans, son père est retenu à l'Ambassade des États-Unis au Koweït pour des raisons de sécurité, pendant sept mois, au tout début de la Guerre du Golfe[1].Quand il déménage pour Londres après huit ans passés en France, il passe d'un petit établissement scolaire à une énorme institution. C'est alors que Mika s'enferme dans le silence : les médecins diagnostiquent une aphasie, qui ne sera brisée que grâce à quelques accords de piano. À 9 ans, il se découvre une passion pour l'opéra, capacité vocale hors normes oblige, sa voix couvre presque cinq octaves[réf. nécessaire]. Mika étudiera au Lycée français Charles de Gaulle, à la Westminster School. À 19 ans, il obtient une place au Royal College of Music[2], qu'il quitte pour se lancer dans sa carrière solo.

Ses performances en public et ses emplois ont varié entre des choses classiques, au Royal Opera, l'écriture d'une musique de vols pour British Airways et la composition de la musique d'une pub pour des chewing-gums. Il a fait une apparition sur BBC Radio 1 en septembre 2006, et sur The Friday Night Project le 20 janvier 2007.

En janvier 2007, il est arrivé en tête d'un sondage sur le site web de la BBC Sound of 2007 (Le son de 2007)[3]

Son premier single était un 7" limité appelé Relax, Take It Easy (2006) sur lequel on retrouve la mélodie de (I Just) Died in Your Arms de Cutting Crew. Le hasard fera que ce sera ce single qui, en février 2007, atteindra la première place des téléchargements en France.

Universal Music a sorti son single Grace Kelly en téléchargement numérique le 8 janvier 2007, et il a atteint la place numéro un des charts anglais des singles le 21 janvier 2007. Une semaine avant sa sortie, il devient le deuxième titre à atteindre la première place des "Charts" uniquement grâce au téléchargement.

La sortie du premier album de Mika Life In Cartoon Motion, produit et mixé par Greg Wells à Los Angeles, le 5 février 2007 a suscité des comparaisons avec des artistes tels que Freddie Mercury, Robbie Williams, George Michael, Scissor Sisters, Rufus Wainwright et Elton John.[4]

De même, son site web plonge dans un univers "années 1960". Ses textes décrivent les contraintes des maisons de disques (dans Grace Kelly), ou imposées par la société (Big Girl (You're Beautiful)).

Les membres de son groupe sont Martin Waugh (guitare, chant), Michael Choi (basse, chant), Cherisse Osei (batterie) et Luke Juby (clavier).

Paroles :

Hey, what's the big idea?

Yo Mika.

I said,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down,
I said,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down.

Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down.
Say love, say love,
or love's gonna get you down.
say love, say love,
or love's gonna get you down.

I went walking in with my mama one day,
when she warn me what people say,
live your life until love is found,
'cause love's gonna get you down.
Take a look at the girl next door,
she's a player and a down right whore,
Jesus slows up, she wants more,
oh bad girls get you down.

Singing,
Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down.
Say love, say love,
or love's gonna get you down.
say love, say love,
or love's gonna get you down.

Mama told me what I should know,
too much candy gonna ride your soul,
if she loves you, let her go,
'cause love only gets you down.
Take a look at the boy like me,
never stood on my own two feet,
now I'm blue, as I can be,
oh love couldn't get me down.

Singing,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down.
Say love, say love,
or love's gonna get you down.
say love, say love,
or love's gonna get you down.

I went walking with my mama one day,
when she warn me what people say,
live your life until love is found,
or love's gonna get you down.

Singing,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down.
Say love (say love), say love (say love),
or love's gonna get you down.
say love (say love), say love (say love),
or love's gonna get you down.

Mama told me what I should know,
too much candy gonna ride your soul,
if she loves you, let her go,
'cause love only gets you down.

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, lollipop.
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, lollipop.

Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down,
say,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down

• Titre : Grace kelly
• Album : Life In Cartoon Motion
• Année : 2006

Paroles :

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!
