MARINA - Seventeen lyrics

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 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
Oh, 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
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)
No, seventeen oh, seventeen
The rise of a king and the fall of a queen
Oh seventeen

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