Please don't make my wedding dress
|
I'm too young to marry yet
|
Can you see my pocket knife?
|
You can't make me be a wife
|
How the world just turns & turns
|
How does anybody learn?
|
|
Mummy, put your needle down
|
How did you feel when you were young?
|
Cos I feel like I've just been born
|
Even though I'm getting on
|
How the world slips by so fast
|
|
How does anybody last?
|
As the world keeps coming
|
And the bees keep humming
|
And I'll keep running
|
|
Flowers I can do without
|
I don't wanna be tied down
|
White material will stain
|
My pocket knife's gotta shiny blade
|
I'm not trying to cause a fuss
|
I just wanna make my own fuck-ups
|
I'm not trying to break your heart
|
I'm just trying not to fall apart
|
