MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS

Not only this girl has a striking voice but the music she makes is outlandish just enough to attract and hold my attention. And the lyrics are just as fascinating as she is:

TEEN IDLE

I wanna be a bottle blonde
I don't know why but I feel conned
I wanna be an idle teen
I wish I hadn't been so clean
I wanna stay inside all day
I want the world to go away
I want blood, guts and chocolate cake
I wanna be a real fake

Yeah I wish I'd been a,
Wish I'd been a teen, teen idle
Wish I'd been a prom queen
Fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen
and burning up a bible
Feeling super, super (super!) Suicidal

The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come
Where I have died
Only to find I've come alive

I wanna be a virgin pure
A 21st century whore
I want back my virginity
So I can feel infinity
I wanna drink until I ache
I wanna make a big mistake
I want blood, guts and angel cake
I'm gonna puke it anyway

I wish I wasn't such a narcissist
I wish I didn't really kiss the mirror
When I'm on my own
Oh god! I'm gonna die alone
Adolescence didn't make sense
A little loss of innocence
The ugly years of being a fool
Ain't youth meant to be beautiful?

Feeling super, super, super! Suicidal!
I've come alive
