Mika “toy boy”

This song is essentially about a guy (the toy) who falls in love with another man. They have a relationship. But the lover was still torn with his own identity. The lovers mother wants him to be straight so he breaks it off to live the straight life. The toy also tries to date a woman who tries to change him. But it only leaves him a depressed mess. So he is asking his lover in the future when his son is wondering about his own sexuality if he would remember their relationship and accept his son for who he is instead of trying to force him to be something he is not.

Lyrics:

[VERSE 1:]

I'm a wind up toy

In an up-down world

If you leave me all alone

I'll make a mess for sure

I've a heart of gold

In the smallest size

Leave me in the dark

You never hear me cry

[PRE-CHORUS 1:]

More than an illustration

Points of articulation

Come to life on a brass spring

Such a wonderful plaything

[VERSE 2:]

Its a cruel cross

That I have to bear

If you come a little close

I'm going to pull your hair

More than just a toy

In a patched blue suit

When you hold me in your arms

I'm just a boy like you

But your momma thought

There was something wrong

Didn't want you sleeping

With a boy too long

It's a serious thing

In a grown-up world

Maybe you'd be better

With a Barbie girl

[PRE-CHORUS 2:]

You knew that

I adored ya

But you left me in Georgia

Toys are not sentimental;

How could i be for rental?

[VERSE 3:]

She's the meanest hag

That has ever been

Pulled out my insides

With an old safety pin

I'm the sorest sight

Now I feel like trash

Clothes are made of rags

And they don't even match

So she dressed me up

As the man she loved

And threw me in a box

When she had had enough

Now the light of day

I no longer see

She stuck her voodoo pins

Where my eyes used to be

[PRE-CHORUS 3:]

Accidentally tragic

Victim of her black magic

Had a boy once who loved me

Now he's so afraid of me

[VERSE 4:]

On a long lost day

When you're grey and old

You'll be there remembering

Your old toy boy

When your only son's

Wondering what to be

Tell him the story of

A boy like me

Oooooooo

Oooooooo

I am 21 years or older.
