Madeleine and Nine Lyrics
not struck dumb, i'm just dumb, that's all
i can give you the constellations
lay down here and we'll count them all
madeleine
madeleine
call me back when your boyfriend's gone
i'm aware of your oscillations
don't belive i'm the only one
my world is burning on eternally
for the fire i lack this flame is feeling fine
madeleine
madeleine
give my back to impress you now
i'm so joyful that i have found you
all i need's you to see me now
the world is bursting sappy music and
with your face so sad i long to make you mine
slain by the inside light
my world is burning on eternally
for the fire i lack this flame is feeling fine
madeleine
madeleine
he sure knows how to write a melody..
Quite possibly one of the best songs to sing along with!
and the lyrics are so beautiful.
I heard a rumor that this song is about a woman struggling with heroin that Mike met in rehab. Is there any truth in this?
I don't know but I think its spelled Madeline.
I noticed this because my name is Madel ei ne (Not Madel i ne). And you don't pronounce mine like he pronounces it.
So what exactly does this song mean? I know it's semi-self explanitory but I was just wondering what everyone thought?
It's kind of an unconventional love song. He's really in love with her, she's unstable and has commitment issues (I kind of love that he refers to her affairs as "your oscillations"), but he doesn't care, he just wants to make her happy.
Another example of how beautifully Doughty can write a very vivid and rich song about something so elemental.
He's got a crush on this girl. The girl is in a bad relationship. He knows he's the better guy for her, but he is too timid to say anything ("slain by the words i lack..." -- easily one of my top 10 lyrics of all time). Great Song!
