MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS

MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS
— [bad word] diamandia

Used to be a major scale
But the melody went stale
Musical cacophony let
Eensy Weensy 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 you're being 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 [bad word] 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 fell down like a princess
I used to kid myself in this stress
That it was just how things
Were meant to be
Oh, seventeen, seventeen.
