Marina & The Diamonds - Mowgli's Road (Live at London Calling 2009)

Marina & The Diamonds perform Mowgli's Road live at London Calling 2009.

Lyrics:
Cuckoo (cuckoo)
Cuckoo (cuckoo)
Cuckoo (cuckoo)
Cuckoo

Ten silver spoons coming after me,
One life with one dream on repeat.
I'll escape if I try hard enough,
Till King of the Jungle calls my bluff

Oh Lord (Oh Lord)
I have been told (I have been told)
That I must take the unforsaken road (forsaken road)
There's a fork in the road (road)
I'll do as I am told
And I don't know, don't know, don't know, don't, don't
Who-oo-oo-oo-ooo I want to be

Cuckoo (cuckoo)
Cuckoo (cuckoo)
Cuckoo (cuckoo, cuckoo)

You say Y-E-S to everything
Will that guarantee you a win?
Do you think you will be good enough
To love others and to be loved?

Oh Lord (Oh Lord),
Now I can see (now I can see)
The cutlery will keep on chasing me (forsaken road)
There's a fork in the road (road)
I'll do as I am told
And I don't know, don't know, don't know, don't don't
Who-oo-oo-oo-ooo I want to be.

We are the spoons metally mean.
We scooped our way into your dreams
To knock the knives out bloody cold.
And lead you down the unforsaken road.

(Unforsaken road)
There's a fork in the road (road)
I'll do as I am told
And I don't know, don't know, don't know, don't don't
Who-oo-oo-oo-ooo I want to be.

Cuckoo

"if you know the cuckoos, please cuckoo along"

JUST ADORABLE

[FearOfTheChosen]

Wow, the CUKOO bits are great.

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

Her voice was wildly uneven here, it's clear that she hadn't yet mastered control of her voice, but she's improved drastically since then, especially with her breathing techniques.

[TheAkelei]

@liyosan Yes, and unfortunately it's this particularly terrific "Oh lord patch" she does so shakily... Well, nobody believes me that it is just NOT POSSIBLE to mace flic-flacs and helterscelters on the stage while singing efficiently along. The air is just missing, and that's a fact..... Nothing to be ashamed about, thoug - it's natural.

[TheAkelei]

@nuregami1 Yes, it's really a shame - I surely would have! Though it's quite high... ;-)

[sarabrace]

lovesssssssss

[Anifreak561]

Cuckoo! Marina is awesome!

[nuregami1]

nobody cuckooed along :(

[liyosan]

xD

Her dancing sort've makes her voice a bit un-necessarily shakey in the beginning, but her voice sounds better toward the middle; PROPS MARINA~!

[propheiy]

so good!!!!!
