Artist/Band: Marina And The Diamonds
Lyrics for Song: Seventeen
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Marina And The Diamonds



Used to be a major scale

But the melody went stale

Musical cacophony let

Eensy Weensy spider free

You're a rich little boy

Who's had to work for his toys

You've got all the sensibilities

Of an upper class guy



No I'm not your little slave

No I don't twist and turn that way

Only got bad things to say

You're always asking what is up with me



Could never tell you what happened

The day I turned seventeen

The rise of a king and the fall of a queen

Seventeen, seventeen



Oh, you are embarrassed of me

'Cos I use my tongue freely

Bet you wish I couldn't speak

'Cos when I do, you know

I tell you why you're being weak

You want a hassle free life

Go get your upper class wife

Oh, she's got all the personality

Of a lemon that has been

Truly sucked dry



You teach me how to behave

I felt you question the way

I was brought up as a baby

Well you don't know fuck about my family



Could never tell you what happened

The day I turned seventeen

The rise of a king and the fall of a queen

Seventeen, seventeen



Never fell down like a princess

I used to kid myself in this stress

That it was just how things

Were meant to be

Oh, seventeen, seventeen.


Seventeen - Marina and the Diamonds

Marina and the Diamonds' 'Seventeen' stands as a defining track from her 2010 debut album, The Family Jewels. Released during the height of the indie-pop revival, the song blends electronic production with Marina's distinctive vocal style to explore themes of adolescent identity and self-perception. As a key component of her early discography, the recording helped establish her reputation for introspective songwriting and atmospheric soundscapes. The track remains a significant example of the genre's evolution in the early 2010s, showcasing her ability to merge personal narrative with contemporary pop structures. Its enduring presence in her catalog highlights its role in shaping her artistic voice and influencing subsequent works.
