|
My room faces north |
|
But the sun?s in the south |
|
I?m just waking up |
|
To the news of my birth |
|
I am a girl and I?m lucky to be here |
|
Whatever that?s worth |
|
Like an ostrich I lived |
|
With my head in the sand |
|
Slipped into corners |
|
Sat on my hands |
|
I learnt to stifle shouts and outrage |
|
And feeling deep down |
|
With my chains falling off |
|
And the hope in a friend |
|
Cafes and walkways |
|
And sculptured weekends |
|
I?m getting to love my freedom |
|
I?m getting to like my surroundings |
|
My room faces north |
|
But the sun?s in the south |
|
You are far out of reach |
|
Could I be any worth |
|
To some special person? |
|
My mind is unknowing |
|
Of any such love |
|
So I yell out the window |
|
Answer the mail |
|
My diary?s quiet |
|
The definitive nail |
|
In my social coffin |
|
I blame all the boffins |
|
For making me fail |
|
For an hour in the park |
|
Or an hour on the couch |
|
With the boy of my choice |
|
If he makes me go ?ouch!? |
|
I will swap all my dumb school prizes |
|
I am open to dark surprises |
|
My room faces north |
|
But the sun?s in the south |
|
You are far out of reach |
|
Perfect hand, perfect mouth |
|
The boredom, the freedom |
|
The train on the meadow |
|
Please keep me in dreams |
|
I don?t want commitment |
|
I don?t want the drama |
|
I just want your jeans |
|
I just want your jeans |
