Mika – Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) Lyrics 17 years ago
Personally I highly doubt if he had the choice between a big girl and a skinny girl with the same personality, he would choose the big girl. :/ Unless he was vouching for the "I'm different!" vibe or the "big girl" was a size 12 or 14. I think the song is more about supporting his mom.

Mika – Any Other World Lyrics 17 years ago
I can't help but think this has something to do with religion. "In Any Other World, you could tell the difference" might mean with any other faith or religion, you might think about things differently.

The "bitter, bitter man" could easily be God. "The world you thought you lived in" could be the religion you previously took part in. Trying to "live alone" could mean living without God. Some lyrics make me question this line of thinking, though :/

Mika – Billy Brown Lyrics 17 years ago
I'm pretty sure it's "precautionary wife" rather than "cautionary". It makes more sense, and there's obviously a syllable before that phrase. "Precautionary" would mean to keep others from thinking he was gay to start with. "Cautionary", on dictionary.com, means "of the nature of or containing a warning", which doesn't make much sense.

As for the girlie on the island, I think it was meant to be punctuated like this:

He met a girlie who was brave enough to say,
"When they made love he shared the burden of his mind.
Oh Billy Brown you are a victim of the times."

Meaning, she thought that when he made love with this man, Billy Brown was freed of the burden of keeping his sexuality hidden. And the fact that he HAD that burden in the first place made him a "victim of the times".
