Sweet, Sad Song
I actually only heard this song for the first time when I was on my course earlier this year. I was really surprised, it doesn't sound like Mika at all. Anyway, whenever I've heard it since it just reminds me of everyone I met and stuff but as we've all parted this song is doubly bittersweet for me.

Lyrics: Any Other World, by Mika
In any other world
You could tell the difference
And let it all unfurl
Into broken remnants
Smile like you mean it
And let yourself let go
'Cause it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
Take a bow, play the part of a lonely lonely heart
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
To the world you thought you lived in
I tried to live alone
But lonely is lonely, alone
So human as I am
I had to give up my defences
So I smiled and tried to mean it
To let myself let go
'Cause it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
Take a bow, play the part of a lonely lonely heart
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
To the world you thought you lived in [x2]
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in [x2]
Say goodbye
In any other world
You could tell the difference...
[Spoken]
"I never ever...I forget my story.
My face is not sad, but sometimes, I am sad."
Unfortunately, I think it's an all too familiar and true description of how things can be for people and the world.
