Myth Lyrics

18 replies

Can anybody who had “Myth” send me the lyrics. Marie is singing softly at some points, I can’t hear the lyrics all that well.

On the RoxBox which is released in October

Der, we will have it b4 then.

Yeah, I know. Sarcasm again. Not really like me, just in that mood today

I think it was published by Ally, so (c) to her :)

Myth

You where born with one story in mind
One story town where Mondays, Mondays all the time.
But you never sleep, but baby (?? can’t understan that)
Your peppermint flashed in the night
You always made the wrong words sound alright

I love your Myth, I love what they say about you yay
I love all the things, all the things that you do
The talk of town, the stories of you yay
Green tangerine, baby I love your Myth

I got this urge coming on strong,
Oh I want to take you home
I’ve got to, I’ve got to take you home
I’m feeling like a monkey hanging in the tree
I love when you pay attention to me
I want to read your steamy poetry

I love your Myth, I love what they say about you yay
I love every little thing, every little thing that you do
The talk of town, the stories about you yay
Green tangerine, baby I love your Myth

I got this urge coming on strong
Oh I want to take you home I’ve got to take you
I’ve got to I got this urge coming on strong
Oh I want to take you home tonight I’ve got to take you home
Oh baby I love your Myth

I love your Myth, I love what they say about you yay
Green tangerine, baby I love you
I love your Myth, I love what they say about you yay
I love all the things, all the things that you do
The talk of town, the stories of you yay
Green tangerine, baby I love you

TEVENSSO - Since you are on such GOOD terms with Roxette (Per), can’t you ask him to publish the lyrics to “Myth”?? I really want the lyrics!

Please!

was it actually written by per? it doesn’t say in the box, it’s a real mess of a song lyrically

I seem to recall that the lyrics were written by Marie, and Per wrote the music. I think he mentioned that in an interview up to release of the Box.

It was the other way round. Music by Marie, lyrics by Per.

Sascha i agree.

Love this song.

And thanks for Mary (Martina) for solving the mystery...

The mystery line is....

“But you never slipped, no baby, you held tight”

I saw on a website it said something about “talked”, but I here “ight” sound in there, which is not like talked, so I agree with Mary that it is what she said it was :D. Cheers for her!

one that seriously should have been left in the vaults

here it is:

You weere born with one story in mind
One story town
when Mondays, Mondays all the time.
But you never slept, my baby, you have talked.
Your peppermint flashed in the night
You always made the wrong words sound alright

I love your Myth,
I love what they say about you
I love all the things,
all the things that you do
The talk of town,
the stories of you
Green tangerine,
baby I love your Myth

I got this urge coming on strong,
Oh I want to take you home
I’ve got to,
I’ve got to take you home
I’m feeling like a monkey hanging in the tree
I love when you pay attention to me
I want to read your steamy poetry

I love your Myth,
I love what they say about you
I love every little thing,
every little thing that you do
The talk of town,
the stories about you
Green tangerine,
baby I love your Myth

I got this urge coming on strong
Oh I want to take you home
I’ve got to take you
I’ve got to
I got this urge coming on strong
Oh I want to take you home tonight
I’ve got to take you home
Oh baby I love your Myth

I love your Myth,
I love what they say about you
Green tangerine, baby I love you
I love your Myth,
I love what they say about you
I love all the things,
all the things that you do
The talk of town,
the stories of you
Green tangerine, baby I love you

I agree the lyrics are a total mess. But maybe they scribbled down those lyrics in the studio, in a rush, to have something-to-sing during the recording process of the melody. As finaly the song was left out of the album, Per didn’t bother in writing a new lyric for the song. That’s my theory.

It’s become one of my favourite songs.

I still think in the first verse it’s “with Mondays”, not “when” or “where” as it makes a complete sentence. And the line after that is really correctly this way:

but you never slipped, no baby, you held tight

The rest sounds already correct to me.
