Dag 2: The day I turned seventeenHet volgende liedje gaat over de dag waarop ik 17 werd. Voor de originele versie van Marina geldt dat dit betekende dat ze naar Griekenland ging om bij haar vader te wonen. Voor mij betekend het mijn coming out. Speciaal liedje dus
.
Meezingen kan altijd met de lyrics:
"Seventeen"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,
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.
Origineel:
Never felt like a princess before,
I used to kid myself in this dress,
That it was just how things,
Were meant to be,
Oh seventeen,
Seventeen.New:
Never felt like a prince here before,
I used to kill myself in this chess,
That it was just how things,
Were meant to be,
Oh seventeen,
Seventeen.
