Marina and the Diamonds lyrics : "Seventeen"
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
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, 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 were embarrassed of me
Because 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 wanna hassle free life
Go get your upper class wife
She's got all 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
Seventeen
The rise of a king and the fall of a queen
Seventeen
The rise of a king, the fall of a queen
Never felt like a princess
I used to kill myself in this dress
That it was just how things were meant to be
Oh seventeen
Seventeen
