Seventeen Songtext
von MARINA

Used to be a major scale
But the melody went stale
Musical cacophony, 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, oh
Of an upper class guy

No, 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, 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
Oh, seventeen, seventeen


Oh, you were embarrassed of me
′Cause I used my tongue freely
Bet you wish I couldn't speak
′Cause when I do, you know I tell you why you appear weak
You want a hassle free life?
Go get your upper class wife
She's got all the personality, oh
Of a lemon that has been truly sucked dry

You teach me how to behave
I felt you question the way-ay
I was brought up as a baby
Well, you don′t know fuck 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
Oh, seventeen (seventeen)
Oh, seventeen, oh, seventeen
The rise of the king, and the fall of a queen
Oh, seventeen

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