Seventeen Lyrics - The Family Jewels - Marina And The Diamonds

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
