Now I’m
seventeen
My school is
in the country
Students wear trainers
Read the same
magazines
Now I’m
seventeen
My school is
getting tiresome
Teachers, they're so young
Singling me
out
Only like
philo
sophy & after school the time
That's what I
call
my
own, my own time
Nice girls
meet nice boys
end of school day
While other girls go straight home
Talking 'bout soaps'n' that
I go
home
alone
Like it
watching the
nameless people
Surfing subways,
travelling somewhere
”…Nowhere…”
Now I’m
seventeen
I do not
have a title
Depend on no one else
Busy being
kind
Only like
philo
sophy & after school the time
That's what I
call
my
own, my own time
Nice girls
meet nice boys
end of school day
While other girls go straight home
Talking 'bout soaps'n' that
I go
home
alone
And have
dinner
in my sweet home
Praying again,
again & again
Again, again & again, again, again
I see the same
faces
in school
&
they say that
I am di
fferent
I think it's an honour
I say
it's an honour to B
different
I can't go their way
Surfing subways,
travelling somewhere
”…Nowhere…” nowhere, no, no,
no, no, ah
I go
home
alone
And have
dinner
in my sweet
home
Praying again,
again & again
”…Peace…”
Now I’m
seventeen
Now I’m
”…seventeen…”
