Me

Dido · Odds & Ends (Unreleased) [1995]

I've never had a filling and I've got blue eyes

I've got every kind of lipstick you can buy

I've got three cupboards for my shoes

And a mirror that always tells the truth

I've got clothes in case it's hot

Clothes for when it's cold but still I don't know what to wear

What to wear tonight



I've got the concentration of a small child

Patience

Well

Not all the time

A wounded look and a silly smile that always gets me what I want

I've got a garden but it has no grass

It's got plastic chairs and the table's glass

My cat at home thinks it's a dog and who am I to judge if that's all



I've got a lot of cards on my shelf

Every one of them written to myself

I've got a million pounds in the bank

(Don't be silly you haven't been to a bank in your life)

There's a woman next door who robbed a bank

A man upstairs who likes to drink and sing to us at three in the morning

I've got five best friends

Two parents and a brother

And a man at home who likes to think that every song's written for him

So this one's for you
