Brown Eyed Girl
McFly ft Busted Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down in the hollow, playin' a new game
Laughing and a running hey, hey! Skipping and jumping
In the misty morning fog with our hearts thumpin' and you ...
My brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
Whatever happened, Tuesday and so slow?
Standing in the sunlight laughing, hidin' 'hind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and sliding, all along the water fall, with you ...
My brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha la la la la la la la la la la di da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la di da
... la di da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la di da
So hard to find my way, now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day and, my, how you have grown!
Cast my memory back there, Lord, hey, now I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making Love in the green grass, behind the stadium with you ...
My brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha la la la la la la la la la la di da
La di da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la di da
Brown eyed girl
Sha la la la la la la la la la la di da
yeah, yeah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la di da
you're my brown eyed girl
The lyrics to McFly ft Busted's song "Brown Eyed Girl" tell a nostalgic story of two people who reminisce about their past adventures together. The first verse paints a picture of a rainy day that didn't stop them from playing a new game down in the hollow. The misty morning fog added to the atmosphere as they skipped and jumped with their hearts pounding. The second verse highlights another memory of going down to an old mine with a transistor radio and hiding behind a rainbow's wall. They slipped and slid along the waterfall with laughter and joy, all with the brown-eyed girl by his side. The chorus emphasizes how much she means to him as he calls her "my brown-eyed girl" and repeats the line several times.
The bridge takes a turn towards a more reflective tone as he acknowledges how hard it is to find his way now that he's on his own. He saw the brown-eyed girl recently and saw how she's grown, prompting him to cast his memory back to the times they made love in the green grass behind the stadium - a classic image of teenage romance. The song ends with a repetition of the sha la la la la la la chorus, which adds to the sense of nostalgia and reminiscing.
Overall, "Brown Eyed Girl" is a song about the joys of youthful adventures and the heartbreak of growing up and losing touch with those we used to know. The brown-eyed girl represents a connection to the past and the memories that the singer cherishes.

Even after all these years I can still tell apart all of their voices... and their all Busted's. Busted and McFly did do a song together though, I believe it's Lola? Too bad McFly get's all the credit here, would have loved to see some Busted pictures in between the lyrics! :)
