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

Now I got your back up
What do you not like
Do you 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 you really want me to write a feminist anthem
I'm happy cooking dinner in the kitchen for my husband
Yeah, yeah

You can paint me any color
And I can be your clown
But you ain't got my number
No, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you 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 you a win?
Do you think you will be good enough
To love...

Rootless Lyrics

I'm a cloud drifting by
Dripping tears from the sky
I'm a snail 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 home 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 you gave us a flower
We'd sit and we'd water it
But instead we watch you weave your webs
And you 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 you 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 street 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 home 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 love is not that easy
And that’s the lesson that you teach me
So hypocritical, overly cynical
I’m sick and tired of all your preaching

Who are you 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 wall that will stand tall
‘Til the end of the world

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

Who are you 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 chocolate 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 day 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 you think I’m dumb,
I don’t care at all.
Candy bear sweetie pie, wanna be adored.
I’m the girl you’d die for.

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

I’m miss sugar pink liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss.
I’m miss sugar pink 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 show you some fun

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

I look myself in the face
And whisper "I'm in the wrong place"
Is there more 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 day 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 you what you're gonna be.

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

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

I stepped into a room of clocks that all told different times
I stepped into a mirrored world that mirrored all our crimes
You keep picking at the scab and I'll keep selling the plaster
You keep telling me that I'm bad
But I keep on getting better faster

You hold me down and you hold me up
You can't communicate
You brought me up just to bring me down
I've nothing left to say

I've lost, I've lost my innocence
I've found my self-belief
And in a cup of loneliness
I've found instant relief

You hold me down, you hold me up
Oh Daddy, are we out of luck?
You brought me up to bring me down
You shut...

Rule number one, is that you gotta have fun,
But baby when you're done, you gotta be the first to run
Rule number two, just don't get attached to,
Somebody you could lose
So le-let me tell you

This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger, a player
Singing I lo-lo-love you

How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger, a player
Singing I lo-lo-love you
At least I think I do!

Cause I lo-lo-lo-love you.

Rule number three, wear your heart on your cheek
But never on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat...

I've lived a lot of different lives
Been different people many times
I live my life in bitterness
And fill my heart with emptiness

And now I see, I see it for the first time,
There is no crime in being kind
Not everyone is out to screw you over.
Maybe, oh just maybe they just wanna get to know ya.

Now the time is here,
Baby you don't have to live your life in fear
And the sky is clear, is clear of fear

Don't wanna live in fear and loathing
I wanna feel like I am floating
Instead of constantly exploding
In fear and loathing

Got different people inside my head
I wonder which one that they like best
I'm done with...

Primadonna girl, yeah
All I ever wanted was the world
I can't help that I need it all
The primadonna life, the rise and fall
You say that I'm kinda difficult
But it's always someone else's fault
Got you wrapped around my finger, babe
You can count on me to misbehave

Primadonna girl,
Would you do anything for me?
Buy a big diamond ring for me?
Would you get down on your knees for me?
Pop the pretty question right now, baby
Beauty queen on a silver screen
Living life like I'm in a dream
I know I've got a big ego
I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though

(Ooh) And I'm sad to the core, core, core
(Yeah)...

Lying on a fake beach
She'll never get a tan
Baby I'm gonna leave you drowning
Until you reach for my hand

In the night your heart is full
And by the morning, empty.
But baby I'm the one who left you, you're not the one who left me

[Chorus]
When you're around me, I'm radioactive
My blood is burning, radioactive
I'm turning radioactive
My blood is radioactive
My heart is nuclear
Love is all that I fear
I'm turning radiactive
My blood is radiactive

Waiting for the night fall, for my heart to light up
Oh baby I want you to die for,
For you to die for my love

In the night your heart is full
And by the morning, empy...

"Valley Of The Dolls"

In the valley of the dolls we sleep, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me, of me

Born with a void, hard to destroy with love or hope
Built with a heart, broken from the start
And now I die slow

In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me
Living with identities
That do not belong to me
In my life, I got this far
Now I’m ready for the last hoorah
Dying like a shooting star
In the valley
In the valley
In the valley

Pick a personality for free
When you feel like nobody, body

Born with a void, hard to destroy with love or hope
Built with a heart, broken from the start
And now I...

Your theories, your beliefs
And the way you preach for peace
It sounds like vomit to my ears

Woh, daddy likes to teach
Counts for the muttered words you like to speak
But it sounds like vomit to my ears

Let me fall and kiss your feet
Everybody knows they're cleaner than your lips
I'm not easy to defeat
I know, I know when something's amiss (x3)
Something's amiss

Philosopher my ass
Your words leave your mouth pretty fast
And it sounds like vomit to my ears

I lie in the safety of your bed
Whilst Bob Marley goes straight to your head
How can you compare yourself to this man
Your whole life's a...

I feel like a substitute sittin' on the sideline,
Clickin' every single finger, waitin' for the right time.
I feel like a substitute sittin' pretty in my prime,
I'm about to play the game 'cause I'm runnin' out of time.

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, I'm Miss Y am I here?
I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here,
Only to feel like nobody, I'm Miss Y am I here?
And the lights stay. the stronger, the longer that you have to wait.

Laugh track on a TV show echoes in the dark alone
I go to bed feeling bad that I’m the reason that you’re sad
January to December, do you wanna be a member?

Lonely hearts club...
Do you want to be with somebody like me?
Lonely hearts club...
Do you want to be with somebody like me?

I feel like if I’m too kind then you will only change your mind
Take advantage of my heart and I’ll go back into the dark
Love will never be forever, feelings are just like the weather
January to December, do you want to be a member?

Lonely hearts club...
Do you want to be with somebody like me?
Lonely hearts club...
