He's continued to be my favorite artist for the last 7 years and in 2011 released an incredible french song called 'Elle Me Dit' which topped the charts in France:
On his upcoming album 'The Origin of Love', Mika has re-written the lyrics of the song into 'Emily', this beautiful little pop number.
It reminds me of how my relationship with my mother used to be, and is makes me laugh, as well as a little nostalgic.
Anyhow, I could not yet find the lyrics online, so have written them down for your convenience.
I hope the rest of your day is simply splendid!

Emily, Emily,
Emily, can't you write a happy song?
Get your ass to number one.
You could try a little harder
Emily, you could be a millionare, but you're so full of hot air.
Gonna end up like your father.
Emily, you can't leave your life to chance.
Get a boy and learn to dance, be a girl like any other
Emily, are you stuck up, are you gay?
If you are, well that's okay
Because it doesn't even matter
Emily
Emily, it's your life, and you can't live it twice
One day you'll understand: Emily, take my hand.
Emily, I love you, and I know you do too
You never make no sense, screaming at me in French
"Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie, pourquoi tu gâches ta vie, shut up, listen to me."
Dance with me Emily.
"Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie, pourquoi tu gâches ta vie, shut up, listen to me."
Dance with me Emily.
Emily, you've got so much in your life
Me, I got no-one's advice
Don't you know you got it easy?
Emily, what you smoking, what's that stench
Who you screaming at in French?
Did you really think you had me?
Emily, that's enough, do as you're told
You're acting like you're eight years old
I give up, it's not worth trying
Emily, one day I will end up dead.
That's the only thing I said that would ever get her smiling.
Emily
Emily, it's your life, and you can't live it twice
One day you'll understand: Emily, take my hand.
Emily, I love you, and I know you do too
You never make no sense, screaming at me in French
"Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie, pourquoi tu gâches ta vie, shut up, listen to me."
Dance with me Emily.
"Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie, pourquoi tu gâches ta vie, shut up, listen to me."
Dance with me Emily.
Emily, live your life in a balloon
Lock yourself up in your room
So the world can never reach ya
Emily, am I speaking Japanese?
Got me falling on my knees
Got me praying to Saint Peter.
Emily, see the price I have to pay?
I would give my life away
If I knew that I could reach ya
Emily, why'd you make this hard for me?
It's not the way it's meant to be
I don't ever want to hate ya.
Emily, dance.
Emily dance dance dance
Emily, dance.
Emily dance dance dance
Emily, dance.
Emily dance dance dance
Emily, dance dance dance dance dance dance dance
Emily, dance.
Emily
Emily, it's your life, and you can't live it twice
One day you'll understand: Emily, take my hand.
Emily, I love you, and I know you do too
You never make no sense, screaming at me in French
"Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie, pourquoi tu gâches ta vie, shut up, listen to me."
Dance with me Emily.
"Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie, pourquoi tu gâches ta vie, shut up, listen to me."
Dance with me Emily.
Emily, Dance.
p.s you can listen to Emily below, but I imagine the probability of it being taken off youtube is high. Support the artist, buy the song guys! :)
