seventeen

Marina And The Diamonds

Used to be a major scale
But the melody went stale
Musical cacaphony let
Insy-winsy-spider free
You?re a rich little boy
Who?s had to work for his toys
You?ve got all the sensibilities
Of an upper class guy

No I?m not your little slave
No I don?t twist and turn that way
Only got bad things to say
You?re always asking what is up with me

Could never tell you what happened
The day I turned seventeen
The rise of a king and the fall of a queen
Seventeen, seventeen

Oh, you are embarrassed of me
?Cos I use my tongue freely
Bet you wish I couldn?t speak
?Cos when I do, you know
I tell you why I feel weak
You want a hassle free life
Go get your upper-class wife
Oh, she?s got all the personality
Of a lemon that has been
Truly sucked dry

You teach me how to behave
I felt you question the way
I was brought up as a baby
Well you don?t know **** about my family

Could never tell you what happened
The day I turned seventeen
The rise of a king and the fall of a queen
Seventeen, seventeen

Never felt like a princess
I used to kid myself in distress
That it was just how things
Were meant to be
Oh, seventeen, seventeen
