Marina & the Diamonds - Bad Kidz

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 when you shut your eyelids

Thinking of it is painful
It's better to accept it all
Thinking of all the mothers and the daughters
And the fathers and the sons
Who are waiting for a call
That says I didn't mean it
I love you for who you are
Whether you make it in this sick industry or not
You'll always be my special star

He said, if I became a pretty flower
Would you sit and talk to me?
Oh my roots, my roots are getting old
And I'm getting, I'm getting, I'm getting, lonely, lonely
I'll play Superman, I'll make you feel safe
So why are you disappointed?
Everything that I did for you means nothing
Coz you've turned out to be wicked

Bad kids, bad kids
Vanish when you shut your eyelids
Bad kids, bad kids
Slip off your skin like liquid
Yeah, they slip off your skin like liquid

I'm a tangled ball of string
I'm a criminal, you're the victim
I am a cat and you are the mouse
And I am the milkmaid that killed all the cows

Am I the oil that stained your skin?
Am I the storm that sunk your ship?
You are the horse and I the cart
But it's you, but it's you, but it's you
It's not me, it's not me, it's not me
That broke your heart
That broke your heart
That broke your heart
That broke your heart
ah-ah-ah

[craiasanoptii]

is this a cover?

[Berrino94]

@craiasanoptii nope, 100% by Marina ;)

[noemiadiamond]

this sounds like it has been slowed down or something, it sounds nothing like the version I have. It's sooo slow....

[Berrino94]

@noemiadiamond It's the b-side from the Hollywood vinil ;)

[DiamondGlow97]

this is shit, berrinodarlingsweetheart :*.

[Berrino94]

@DiamondGlow97 why, littleprettydiamondglow97? ^_^

[grapefruit245]

i like thisversion better thnx for uploading!!!!

[GeistFright]

@gluehapfeI Oh - that. I'm really picky with my comments. The one I deleted probably had, like, a comma missing or something. The final one's still up, though.

Her new songs are OK, I guess. I didn't like 'Radioactive' until I heard the acoustic version. And 'Starring Role' sounds too much like a Delta Goodrem B-side. But I love 'Sex, Yeah' 'cause it's still got that 'Family Jewels' flavour. But yeah, like you said - listening to stuff on repeat brainwashes me into liking things...sometimes.

[gluehapfeI]

@GeistFright i was joking with my awesome idea with the indian name xP

but why did you delete your comment? :D

And well, to be honest, im not really an uber fan of marina. i especially like her old songs, i enjoyed her stuff on mermaid vs sailor, you know.

the new stuff is too experimental to me, but i have the feeling, that when i would really give the songs a chance (for example listening to it 10 times in a row) they maybe would grow on me, and i would like them :P you know?

how about you?

[GeistFright]

@gluehapfeI LOL. Wow, maybe I should have joined the debating team. No, not really. And a happy new year to you too. So, what do you think of 'Electra Heart' so far? The leaked tracks, anyway.

[gluehapfeI]

@GeistFright O.O Okay. Wow.

For a split second i wanted to insist on my opinion.

But I guess you won. o.o

Or lets make a compromise - she sings but its rrrshhue. Maybe thats an Indian name or something and then it also would make sense! :D perfect, right?

And a haaappy new year.

[gluehapfeI]

@GeistFright she rolls the r in that part, though. is there a r in "But its you"? - no. but is there one in "Pursue"? I think so. how about you.
