Notes

The Family Jewels

Oh you think I'm unfit
Little did you know that I was cut for it
No glass slipper will ever fit
'Cause I could never see a diamond in it (Family Jewels)

Cause it's my problem
If I wanna pack up and run away
It's my business if I feel the need to
Smoke and drink and sway
It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide
It's my problem if I have no friends
And feel I want to die (Are you satisfied?)

Drinking champagne made of an angel's
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial (Shampain)

You've been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you're just a little baby
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you're not (I am not a robot)

Write such good stories.
Oh their mothers must be proud.
Making money off your insecurity and doubt.

Girls are not meant to fight dirty,
Never look a day past thirty,
Not gonna bend over and curtsy for you. (Girls)

"We are the spoons," they're telling me,
"We scooped our way into your dreams,
To knock the knives out bloody cold,
And lead you down the unforsaken road." (Mowgly's road)

Air hostesses doing gossip magazine
Crosswords on a flight to JFK.
Thirty nine years old,
With a mile high sheen.
Trying to stimulate a mind,
That is slowly starting to decay. (Hollywood)

These people are weird in here,
And they're giving me the fear,
Just because you know my name,
Doesn't mean you know my game. (The outsider)

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 worst,
So I always act like I'm the best
If you are not very careful
Your possessions will possess you
TV taught me how to feel
Now real life has no appeal (Oh no!)

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,
Tied to no community.
A kingdom without a king,
With no sense of belonging. (Rootless)

I feel numb most of the time
Lower I get, the higher I'll climb
And I will wonder why I got dark only to
Shine, looking for the golden light
Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice (Numb)

Oh I'm a guilty one,
And know what I have done.
Yeah, I'm a troubled one,
And I won't be forgiven. (Guilty)
