Lyrics
17
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 philosophy & after school the time
That's what I call 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 (to myself)
Only philosophy & after school the time
That's what I call 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
"... Peace... "
I see the same faces in school & they say that I am different
I think it's an honour
I say it's an honour to be different
I can't go their way
Surfing subways, travelling somewhere
"... Nowhere... "
I go home alone
And have dinner in my sweet home
Praying again, again & again
Now I'm seventeen
Now I'm seventeen
