-+-+-Marina Diamandis-+-+-Marina and the Diamonds-+-+-

You can paint me any color
And I can be your clown
But Ты ain't got my number
Yeah, Ты can't pin me down
Yeah, Ты can't pin me down
Yeah, Ты can't pin me down

Now I got your back up
What do Ты not like
Do Ты think I'm stuck-up
'Cause I'm always picking fights
You might think I'm one thing,
But I am another
You can't call my bluff
Time to back off, motherfucker

Do Ты really want me to write a feminist anthem
I'm happy cooking ужин in the кухня for my husband
Yeah, yeah

You can paint me any color
And I can be your clown
But Ты ain't got my number
No, Ты can't pin me down
Yeah, Ты can't pin me down
Yeah,...

"Mowgli's Road"

Cuckoo (cuckoo)
Cuckoo (cuckoo)
Cuckoo (cuckoo)
Cuckoo (cuckoo)

Ten silver spoons coming after me,
One life with one dream on repeat.
I'll escape if I try hard enough,
'Til King of the Jungle calls my bluff

Oh Lord (Oh Lord)
I have been told (I have been told)
That I must take the unforsaken road (forsaken road)
There's a fork in the road
I'll do as I am told
And I don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know
Who-oo-oo-oo-ooo I want to be

Cuckoo (cuckoo)
Cuckoo (cuckoo)
Cuckoo (cuckoo, cuckoo)

You say Y-E-S to everything
Will that guarantee Ты a win?
Do Ты think Ты will be good enough
To love...

Rootless Lyrics

I'm a облако drifting by
Dripping tears from the sky
I'm a улитка without a shell
A leper with a golden bell

I've got nowhere to go
I'm a stray cat on the roam
Choking on a chicken bone
For a Главная sweet, no sweet home

For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree
For something, somebody that reminded them of me

Running with my roots pulled up
Caught me cold so they could cut
What there was left of love
I'm rootless, I'm rootless

Work your fingers to the bone
Building castles out of snow
I'm a nomad walking on
Humming to the same old song

Lower case society
Tighten no community
A kingdom without...

We came to an agreement in good health
That if no-one would take care of us
We'd be fine by ourselves
It was time to cut the views
Of those who don't deserve our spit
Why is it that we crave the praise
From the people who least deserve it

If Ты gave us a flower
We'd sit and we'd water it
But instead we watch Ты weave your webs
And Ты wait for us to fly into it
You act like you're a strong ant
We all act like we're weak
If only you'd quit trying to cripple
Our dancing feet

(Give and forgive)

Bad kids, bad kids
Slip through your hands like liquid
Bad kids, bad kids
Vanish when Ты shut your eyelids
They'll vanish...

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 улица, уличный 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 Главная 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,...

You’re the lonely one and only body in the world
Who can make me, who can break me down into a young girl

You say that Любовь is not that easy
And that’s the lesson that Ты teach me
So hypocritical, overly cynical
I’m sick and tired of all your preaching

Who are Ты to tell me, tell me
Who to, to be, to be?

You’re my last bone of contention
That could break at any mention
You’re the last Стена that will stand tall
‘Til the end of the world

I know Ты only want to own me
And that’s the kind of Любовь Ты Показать me
You tell me one thing and do another
Keep all your secrets undercover

Who are Ты to tell...

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 Шоколад 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 день has come where I have died
Only to find I’ve come alive

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

Got a figure like a pinup,
Got a figure like a doll.
Don’t care if Ты think I’m dumb,
I don’t care at all.
Candy медведь sweetie pie, wanna be adored.
I’m the girl you’d die for.

I’ll chew Ты up and I’ll spit Ты out
Cause that’s what young Любовь is all about.
So pull me closer, and Kiss me hard
I’m gonna pop your bubblegum heart

I’m miss sugar розовый liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss.
I’m miss sugar розовый liquor, liquor lips
I’m gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I’m gonna be your bubblegum bitch

Queentex, latex, I’m your wonder maid
Life gave me some...

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 Показать Ты some fun

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

I look myself in the face
And whisper "I'm in the wrong place"
Is there еще 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...

I was pulling out my hair
The день 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 Ты what you're gonna be.

It's not my problem if Ты don't see what I see
And I do not give a damn if Ты 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 Ты satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?

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