Zitate und Songtexte von Marina and the Diamonds

You can count on me to misbehave.

We don't need to worry
'Cause when we fall, we know how to land
Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the walk tonight
'Cause we don't need permission to dance

Don't you think we got another season
That come after spring?
I wanna be your summer
I wanna be your wave
Treat me like a comma
I'll take you to a new phrase

And I know there's no makin' this right, this right
And I know there's no changing your mind, your mind
But we both found each other tonight, tonight
So if love is nothing more than just a waste of your time

Waste it on me, waste it on me

She was sayin', "Come get me"
So I got up and followed her to the floor
She said, "Baby, let's go"
When I told her, I said
Yeah, yeah

'Cause I, I, I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight
Shinin' through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite

This is gettin' heavy, can you hear the bass boom? I'm ready
Life is sweet as honey, yeah, this beat cha-ching like money

Deep down, you know it's best for yourself, but you
Hate the thought of her bein' with someone else
But you know that it's over, we knew it was through
Let it burn, let it burn, gotta let it burn

It's the thought of being young
When your heart's just like a drum
Beating louder with no way to guard it
When it all seems like it's wrong
Just sing along to Elton John
And to that feeling, we're just getting started

Side step, right, left to my beat
High like the moon, rock with me, baby
Know that I got that heat
Let me show you 'cause talk is cheap

Smooth like butter
Like a criminal undercover
Gon' pop like trouble
Breakin' into your heart like that

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time
You'd be mine

Sorry
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily

Don't ya know?
They're talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around

No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo
Boy, you know I'm crazy over you

I'm telling you to loosen up my buttons, babe
But you keep fronting, uh
Sayin' what you gon' do to me
But I ain't seen nothing

When I grow up, I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?
Don't cha? Don't cha?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me?
Don't cha? Don't cha?

I know you like me
I know you do
That's why whenever I come around, she's all over you
And I know you want it
It's easy to see
And in the back of your mind
I know you should be f*ckin' with me

I never needed you to be strong
I never needed you for pointing out my wrongs
I never needed pain, I never needed strain
My love for you was strong enough, you should've known

I don't want to stay another minute
I don't want you to say a single word
Hush hush, hush hush
There is no other way, I get the final say, because
I don't want to do this any longer
I don't want you, there's nothing left to say

Ladies, leave your man at home
The club is full of ballers and their pockets full grown
And all you fellas, leave your girl with her friends
'Cause it's eleven thirty and the club is jumpin', jumpin'

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you, say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't runnin' game

Nobody gonna love me better
I'ma stick wit' you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I'ma stick wit' you

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'

You are my raindrops, I am the seed
With you, and God who's my sunlight, I bloom and grow so beautifully

If his status ain't hood, I ain't checkin' for him
Better be street if he lookin' at me
I need a soldier that ain't scared to stand up for me
Known to carry big things if you know what I mean

You triflin', good-for-nothin' type of brother
Silly me, why haven't I found another?
A baller, when times get hard I need someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you who don't know what a man's about

You triflin', good-for-nothin' type of brother
Silly me, why haven't I found another?
A baller, when times get hard I need someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you who don't know what a man's about

I'm about to break you off
H-town goin' hard
Peep my hips, slap my thighs
Swing my hair, squint my eyes
Lookin' hot, smellin' good
Groovin' like I'm from the hood
Look over my shoulder, I blow you a kiss
Can you handle, handle this?

Kelly, can you handle this?
Michelle, can you handle this?
Beyonce, can you handle this?
I don't think they can handle this

I wanna be daylight in your eyes
I wanna be sunlight, only warmer
I wanna be daylight in your eyes
I wanna be love, only stronger

If I could sing my song to you
I'd tell you how my heart is broken too
From any corner of the world
I'd let you know i'll always be your girl
I'm still in love with you

And when the angels sing
I want you by my side
I don't care how long I've been waiting for my baby
And when the angels bring
You back here in my life
Then I know it's true
That I love you

I've been around and I'm just wishing on a star
I've travelled a long way, but I never been this far
I've seen the world with my eyes, never did I know
I have to find a way, no matter what they say

There must be an angel
Playing with my heart
I walk into an empty room
And suddenly my heart goes boom
It's an orchestra of angels
And they are playing with my heart

You are the sun in the night
You are my bright guiding light
And if it's raining again
You are by my side

The winner takes all, it's the thrill of one more kill,
The last one to fall, will never sacrifice their will!
Don't ever look back, on the world closing in,
Be on the attack with your wings on the wind,
Oh, the games will begin!

And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah!
It's ours for the taking, it's ours for the fight!
And it's sweet sweet sweet victory, yeah!
And the one who's last to fall, the winner takes all!

You don't win no silver, you only lose the gold.
You push with a fever, for your time keeps tolling on!
Against all the odds, against all your pain,
Your back's on the wall with no one to blame.
Wild hearts won't be tamed.

Goodbye to my Santa Monica dream
Fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine
You tell me stories of the sea
And the ones you left behind

You don't wanna be rich like everybody else does
You just wanna grow old, sit still, while everybody else runs
In the meantime, tell me your star sign, I'll make something up About how you have to fall apart to really be someone

See her come down, through the clouds
I feel like a fool
I ain't got nothing left to give
Nothing to lose

If you love me
With all of your heart
If you love me
I'll make you a star in my universe
You'll never have to go to work
You'll spend everyday
Shining your light my way
