The existence of a 'clean version' of this song is hilarious to me. Like, sure, they don't say fuck in this one but are you hearing the rest of it??

At 4:55 one of the actors almost said "fucked up girl" instead of "messed up girl" which causes them to say "fussed up girl"

the funniest part is that at the end where he says “if i could have just one dream id be that messed up girl” the background singers still say “fucked up”

Man every time I hear this version it always surprises me when he says messed up girl instead of fucked up girl

Ocean got ahold of Noel’s Lament

Had the privilege to see this in Vancouver - what a treat!

Unpopular opinion: he should have won so he could live to see the creation of wattpad

His last name may sound like a peanut butter brand, but noel gruber is the only thing we want to be.

this fucking song moved me to tears

This song is so gender oml

bro there’s a clean one?!?! I wanted to sing it so bad for a school talent show and NOW I FINALLY CAN 😭😭

IM SO EXCITED TO LISTEN TO THIS OMG

i made the lyrics cleaner and changed some words so most of it doesn't have any too bad words, i tried ngl, but here: In my life, I was Noel Gruber who worked at taco bell in uranium city, Saskatchewan But in my dreams I played a different role. I was Monique Gibeau in post-war France! A player with a heart of black charcoal, I write poems to burn by firelight Drink with pain and guzzle gin Good girls call me "the town bicycle" Don't knock it 'til you've tried my life of sin Oh, Claude, my pimp, knows never mess with me Last prick did that faded quick to black I have no idea where to find him, officers But if you do, please mention that I'd Like to have returned the pretty knife That I stuck ten times in his back! For I sing songs until the break of dawn I embrace a new man every night My life's one never-ending carnival A world of boozy-floozy flashing light I want to be that messed up girl He said, "I think I am in love with you" I've heard that lie a million times before Oh, tonight I give in to the fantasy Take love when you can, when you want more For I sing songs until the break of dawn I embrace a new man every night My life's one never-ending carnival A world of boozy-floozy flashing light I want to be that messed up girl So now I sell my love for opium In some rat-infested Chinese dive At night I burn the walls with cigarettes Just to somehow prove I'm still alive Eight months later I catch typhoid flu Kicked out, I see the ugly light of day Dying in an alley, a priest kneels down to me- "My child, do you have any final words to the lord you'd like to say?" "Oui. tell him that, like him, I choose to burn out rather than fade away!" For I sing songs until the break of dawn I embrace a new man every night My life's one never-ending carnival A world of boozy-floozy flashing light For I sing songs until the break of dawn I embrace a new man every night My life's one never ending carnival A world of boozy-floozy flashing light I want to be that messed up girl I wanna be that messed up GIRLLLLLLLLLL If I could have just one dream... If he could have just one dream! I'd be that messed up girl! Hey!

Why does this song sound so good in 2x-

Can you make a fully clean version “Take love when you can when your a *****

2:18 This isn’t the clean version. I’ve been LIED TO. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Nah bc when I sang this song for the school talent show I said: “Oh Claude my EX knows-“ and “A woman with a heart of black charcoal-“

1:08

1:00

Honesty I like messed up girl better, I mean fuck does add a more powerful force to it, but messed up it certain cleaner lol

4:02

I’m a trans man who does not want to be that messed up girl

I no longer wish to be alive

I just want to say to the creator of this song thank you for saying messed up and not the F word it’s OK if they did it’s just I think it’s better if you say messed up 2:16

They kept “pimp” but “f*ck” and “prick” was too far? Really?
