I wanna be a bottle blonde
I don’t know why but I feel conned
I wanna be an idle teen
I wish I hadn’t been so clean

I wanna stay inside all day
I want the world to go away
I want blood, guts and chokoleti cake
I wanna be a real fake

Yeah I wish I’d been a, wish I’d been a teen, teen idle
Wish I’d been a prom Queen fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible
Feeling super, super (super!) suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the siku has come where I have died
Only to find I’ve come alive

I wanna be a virgin pure
A 21st century whore...

Power and control.
Give a little, get a lot,
That’s just how wewe are with love.
Give a little, get a lot,
Yeah, wewe may be good looking,
But you’re not a piece of art.

Power and control,
I’m gonna make wewe fall.
Power and control,
I’m gonna make wewe fall.

Women and men we are the same,
But upendo will always be a game,
We give and take a little more,
Eternal game of tug and war.

Think you’re funny, think you’re smart,
Think you’re gonna break my heart.
Think you’re funny, think you’re smart,
Yeah, wewe may be good looking,
But you’re not a piece of art.

Power and control,
I’m gonna make you...

Feeling like a loser
Feeling like a bum
Sitting on the outside
Observing the fun

Don't get on my bad side
I can work a gun
Hop into the backseat baby
I'll onyesha wewe some fun

These people are really weird,
And they're giving me the fear
Just because wewe know my name
Doesn't mean wewe know my game

I look myself in the face
And whisper "I'm in the wrong place"
Is there zaidi to lose than gain
If I go on my own again? (On my own again)

Inside the outsider (on my own again)
Inside the outsider (on my own again)
Inside the outsider (on my own again)
Inside...

People are connecting
Don't know what to say
I'm good at protecting...

Don't do love, don't do friends.
I'm only after success.
Don't need a relationship.
I'll never soften my grip.

Don't want cash, don't want car.
Want it fast, want it hard.
Don't need money, don't need fame.
I just wanna make a change.
I just wanna change,
I just wanna change,
I just wanna change,
I just wanna change,
I just wanna change.

I know exactly what I want and who I wanna be.
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine.
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy.
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no

One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart.
Maybe it is all a test
Cause I feel like I'm the...

"Are wewe Satisfied?"

I was pulling out my hair
The siku I cut the deal
Chemically calm
Was I meant to feel happy
That my life was just about to change

One life pretending to be
The cow that got the cream
Oh, everybody said
Marina is a dreamer
People like to tell wewe what you're gonna be
It's not my problem if wewe don't see what I see
And I do not give a damn if wewe don't believe
My problem, it's my problem
That I never am happy
It's my problem, it's my problem
On how fast I will succeed

Are wewe satisfied with an average life
Do I need to lie to make my way in life

High achiever don't wewe see
Baby, nothing comes...

Oh heartbreak’s hard when wewe don’t have a plastic heart
You sent me in through the cinnamon stars
Cause wewe tasted so uchungu, chungu but the uchungu, chungu was sweet
I’m a lovelorn princess and I’m yours to eat
I gave wewe too much,
Gave wewe too much to touch
Just the hardcore iron through the velvet glove
You were a lullaby and wewe had me blind
And now I laugh cause you’re the one whose being left behind
I see wewe cry

Now that the shoe’s on the other foot

Now that the shoe’s on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Wakin’ everybody in the neighborhood
Tellin’ everybody that I’m no good...

Grandpa was a miner, and he gave me my black art,
Glittered rivers of black coal-dust tore our country apart,
Covered in coal-dust, waking up too early in the morning,
Covered in coal-dust, waiting for the moment the canary sings.

Mama was a mermaid and a Carnaby mitaani, mtaa gal,
She could have been a model, but she spent her life mopping up spilt milk,

Covered in sea salt, would he, could he be nyumbani when the stars came out to party,
Covered in sea salt, yeah I know it was my fault, but he always ran away 'cause he didn't want me.

Oh, Daddy was a sailor, and he gave me a black heart,
Daddy was a sailor,...

I have let wewe melt me down
Into a plastic rainbow
And I have left myself to hang
In a Halloween sky

I let wewe tattoo a frown
Onto a face of white snow
Now I see footprints of a man
Running through my eyes

Do I despise these perfect lies
I tell myself each night and day
Go kiss kwa blackened moyo goodbye
I'm running out of things to play

Hey, see I need to forget
That I've become a plastic rainbow
And I'm melting in the sun
And I have fallen from the sky
In a million multi-coloured lies

I've had enough of your ideals, ideals yeah

I'm gonna break her like a Barbie Doll
Push her face down in the dirt
Blue Maybelline...

Off she trots to the psychiatric hospit...
All she's got is the memory of a girl that used to laugh a lot
Now she's very angry 'cause they say she's Lost the plot
And she's laughing in the mirror at her paper dress
Because she has a troubled mind, a troubled mind

Rosie Black, she walked up in here wired up on crack
It's for the kids who have low self esteem
They've got no concept of reality
Living their lives inside a fantasy
Coz they have troubled minds, troubled minds

Wipe the white golden dust into these broken hands
Must depend on a friend that will understand
Like the glitter making upendo to the gleam...

wewe bought a nyota in the sky tonight
Because your life is dark and it needs some light
You named it after me, but I’m not yours to keep
Because you’ll never see, that the stars are free

Oh we don’t own our heavens now
We only own our hell
And if wewe don’t know that kwa now
Then wewe don’t know me that well

All my life I’ve been so lonely
All in the name of being holy
Still, you’d like to think wewe know me
You keep buyin’ stars
And wewe could buy up all of the stars,
But it wouldn’t change who wewe are
You’re still living life in the dark
It’s just who wewe are
It’s just who wewe are

You bought...

We've broken up and now I regret it
I alisema goodbye when I shouldn't have alisema it
I even cried but I never meant it
And I don't know why but I can't forget it, forget it

Gimme love, gimme dreams, gimme a good self esteem
Gimme good and pure, what wewe waiting for?
Gimme everything, all your moyo can bring
Something good and true
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
Gimme, gimme

Gimme one zaidi night
One last goodbye
Let's do it one last time
Let's do it one last time
One zaidi time

No, I don't upendo you
No, I don't care
I just want to be held when I'm scared
And all I want...

I'm embarrassed to confess
I am a jealous girlfriend
I want wewe to belong to me
But I think they call that jealousy

I never say a word
In case I come off needy
I never say a word
Leave wewe before wewe leave me

What is taking over me? Jealousy
A bubbling inside of me? It's jealousy
Controlling me, it's coming after me
It's so easy, when wewe don't belong to me

Is it wewe au is it me
When wewe talk about beauty
Makes me feel so ugly
But I think that they call that jealousy

I never say a word
In case I come off needy
I never say a word
Leave wewe before wewe leave me

What is taking over me? Jealousy
A bubbling inside of...

I was pulling out my hair
The siku I cut the deal
Chemically calm.
Was I meant to feel happy?
But my life was just about to change.

One life pretending to be
The cow that got the cream.
Oh, everybody said
Marina is a dreamer.
People like to tell wewe what you're gonna be.

It's not my problem if wewe don't see what I see
And I do not give a damn if wewe don't believe.
My problem is my problem.
That I never am happy
Is my problem, is my problem,
On how fast will I succeed.

Are wewe satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?

High achiever don't wewe see?
Baby, nothing comes for free.
They...

Laid out the siku inside a lonely bed,
Trying to hide the hole inside my head.
Watching the stars slide down to reach the end.
The sleep is not my friend.

Drinking champagne to forget yesterday
Coz I remember, the way, the way, the way
It ended the day, the day, the day, the day
That I walked away, away, away, away.

Drinking champagne, made kwa the angel
Who goes kwa the name of Glitter and Gabriel
Drinking champagne made all the angels,
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial.

Elderly stars slide down the morning sky,
Slipping away to find a place to die.
I wonder when the night will reach it's end.
The sleep...

I wanna be immortal
Like a God in the sky
I wanna be a silk flower
Like I'm never gonna die
I wanna live forever
Forever in your heart
And we'll always be together
From the end to the start

That's what we do it for
To reserve a place
It's just another part of the human race
That's what we do it for
To reserve a space
In history, it's just
Part of the human race, race
(Race, race, race, race, race, race)

I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The...

Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex
Yeah
Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex
(La la la)

Nothing is provocative anymore
Even for kids
No room for imagining
'Cause everyone's seen everything
Question what the TV tells you
Question what a pop nyota sells you
Question mom and swali dad
Question good and swali bad

If history could set wewe free (from who wewe were supposed to be)
If sex in our society (didn't tell a girl who she would be)
'Cause all my life I've tried to fight what history has aliyopewa me

Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex
Yeah
Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex
(La la la)...

I feel like a substitute stittin' on the sideline,
Clicking every single finger waiting for the right time,
I feel like a substitute sitting pretty in my prime,
I'm about to play the game 'cause I'm running out of time

[CHORUS:]
Drop your knees to the floor,
Hands to the sky,
Give a round of applause for the great Miss Y
I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here

Only to feel like nobody and Miss Y am I here?
I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here
Only to feel like nobody and Miss Y am I here?
and the lights, they, get stronger the longer that wewe have to wait,
for...

One track mind, like a goldfish
Stuck inside my petri dish.
I can't breathe and I can't smile.
This better be worth my while.

I feel numb most of the time.
The lower I get the higher
I'll climb and I will wonder why
I get dark only
To shine.
Looking for the golden light,
Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice.

Burn, burn, burn bright.

Forgo families,forgo friends,
That's how it started and how it ends.
I can't open up and cry
Cause I've been silent all my life.

I feel numb most of the time.
The lower I get the higher
I'll climb and I will wonder why
I get dark only
To shine.
Looking for the golden light,
Oh, it's a reasonable...

Don't wanna talk anymore
I'm obsessed with silence
I go nyumbani and I lock my door
I can hear the sirens

I see buildings and bars from the window
And I listen to the wind blow
I see people and cars covered in gold
And I'm happy to be on my own

Hard like a rock, cold like stone
White like a diamond, black like coal
Cut like a jewel, yeah I repair
Myself when you're not there

Solitaire
Something wewe consider rare
I don't wanna be compared
With that cheap shimmer and glitter
Solitaire

I'm in upendo with the ice-blue, gray skies of England
I'll admit, all I wanna do is get drunk and silent
Watch my life unfold all around...

Sunday, wake up, give me a cigarette.
Last night's upendo affair is looking vulnerable in my bed
Silk sheet, blue dawn, Colgate, tongue warm
Won't wewe quit your crying? I can't sleep
One dakika I'm a little sweetheart
And inayofuata dakika wewe are an absolute creep

We've got obsessions
I want to wipe out all the sad ideas that come to me when I am holding you
We've got obsessions
All wewe ever think about are sick ideas involving me, involving you

Supermarket, oh what packet of crackers to pick?
They're all the same, one brand, one name, but really they're not
Look, look, just choose something quick
People are staring,...
