Mika - Lady Jane

I do not own this song.
LYRICS:
Lady Jane the river saint
Special yes but lucky ain't
Lady Jane said she walked on water but she never had a man to show
Then one day she found a fella she was eager just to let him know
Lady Jane she walked on water
Followed by her brand new lover who tumbled along, drownin' down below
Lady Jane did not abort
For legends are never made that short
Now be sure when you listen to this
Here's another reason why you shouldn't eat fish
Convinced he'd become a creature of the sea
She cut off her feet and jumped into the deep
And never stopped looking for her lover below
Lady Jane the river fish
Became the world's most wanted dish
And though no man would dare to catch
Something whose beauty we could never match
But when some member from a far away state
Said "I order you to get that fish's head on my plate!"
They killed little Lady Jane
The emperor of a distant land
The only man who didn't understand
That though you think you've got your prize
There's another fish that has escaped your eyes
Lady Jane, her lover's there
Swimming through the ocean with a desperate stare
Looking for Lady Jane
Looking for Lady Jane

I think Lady Jane, as mentioned in the lyrics, is a saint - so of course she can both swim and walk on water. But she chose to cut off her feet, somehow I guess this is a metaphor when two people are deeply in love, they can sacrifice anything for one another. A river saint without her feet, she obviously becomes no more than a fish itself. She's been looking for her lover, having no idea that he is doing the same thing. Until she was caught and killed. Life gives us challenges, just because you're in love doesn't mean you win. Some luckily overcome it, some don't and their love story comes to an end. This song is so beautiful but so sad as well. I actually cried listening to it though!

Man, this guy has so much creativity and you can tell that from his songs. He never come with the same idea and he always have a little story for each song. Which is fabulous. He is a a brilliant musician and song writer!

[@isabellamagbanua]

i love this song and I love the story that goes along with the song,it would make a really good book!

[@MonstersInTheNight]

this is the best song ever, simply because of the amazing metaphorical story telling, obviously it's not just about fish, but it works on so many levels and is just amazing, he has great song writing !

[@Klara9]

Mika is simply the greatest singer ! So natural and talented !

[@StudioClarissaCorrea]

[@HeatherlyPerson]

What an amazing song. So beautiful, Just like the man who wrote it :)

[@koolkat104]

That is such a sad song, but it's so beautiful all the same! The lyrics are different, but I love how there's a story. Mika, you are a true genius.

[@blackpaw100]

i love all of mika's songs + i think he sould never have to ever be called gay. HE IS A TALENTED SINGER AND I WILL NEVER THINK LESS OF HIM!!!

[@louann5557]

Une chanson juste sublime...

[@FlyingPhilomel]

I THINK I HAVE THE MEANING, TOO! okay, yadda yadda, Lady Jane cuts off her feet, because if she tries to swim she'll just walk on the water, and swims to go get her lover. Then they figuratively turn into fish, so they kill her, 'cause they're mean, when they catch her. The lover is still out there and looking for her because he thinks Lady Jane is looking for him when she is not anymore.

[@AngelGhostchild]

[@ForTheOtherThing]

@Lunianue This was the iTunes bonus track for Mika's album "The Boy Who Knew Too Much", which might explain why if you had bought the CD version of that album.
