Текст песни Mariella - Kate Nash

I'm heavy handed

To say the least

My mother thinks I'll be an awful clutcher

'Cause I spill things from stirring 'em too quickly

I'm far too loud

It's like as soon as I've got an opinion, it just has to come out

I laugh at stupid things

Just 'cause they tickle me

And

Sometimes I wish

Sometimes I wish I was like Mariella

She got some Pritt Stick and she glued her lips together

So she never had to speak, never had to speak, never had to speak

People used to say she's as quiet as a mouse, she just doesn't make a peep

She marched to her wardrobe and she threw away the colour

Because wearing black looks mysterious, but it didn't impress her mother

She wanted to dress her baby in patterns and flowers

But Mariella just crossed her arms and so she cried for hours

"Mariella

Mariella

My pretty, baby girl

Unglue your lips from being together and wear some pink and pearls

You can have your friends 'round and they can stay for tea

Won't you just try to fit in please? Do this for me"

But Mariella just crossed her arms and she walked up the stairs

And she went into her bedroom and she sat on her bed

And she looked in the mirror and she thought to herself

"If I wanna play, I can play with me

If I wanna think, I'll think in my head"

At school, Mariella didn't have many friends

Yeah, the girls, they all looked at her and they thought she was quite strange

And the boys, they're not really into girls at that age

And the teachers, they thought Mariella was just going through a phase

But Mariella just smiled as she skipped down the road

Because she knew all the secrets in her world

Yeah, she always got the crossword puzzles right every day

And she could do the alphabet backwards, without making any mistakes

Mariella

You pretty, pretty girl

Mariella

Happy in your own little world

Happy in her own little world

And she said "Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever
