McFly ft Busted Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey where did we go, days when the rains came?
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?
Going down the old mine, transistor radio
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

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! :)
