Lyrics
Seventeen
VERSE 1
She pulls back the curtains
The light filters in
Cosmetic enhancement
Is about to begin
Old on the outside
Young deep within
She’s fighting the battle
None of us can win
VERSE 2
She looks in the mirror
Her mother is there
A little more make-up
A little more style
More colour in her hair
Young on the outside
Old deep within
She’s fighting the battle
She knows she will lose it
She'll never give in
CHORUS
But in her dreams
She's only seventeen
In her dreams
She's always seventeen
In her dreams
She is forever seventeen
But only in her dreams
VERSE 3
Time waits for no-one
It never stays still
The lotions and potions
Care and devotion
The miracle pills
She’s fighting the battle
She knows she’ll lose it
For sure
Time waits for no-one
Age has no mercy
No, age has no cure
BRIDGE
As she flicks through the pages
Of Vanity Fair
She looks at the pictures
The clothes and the hair
She picks up her handbag
A perfect match for her shoes
mm mm mm
She knows that she will lose
In her dreams
She's still seventeen
CHORUS
But in her dreams
She's only seventeen
In her dreams
She's always seventeen
In her dreams
She is forever seventeen
But only in her dreams
(repeat chorus)
OUTRO
She looks in the mirror
Her mother’s still there
A little more make-up
More colour in her hair
She’s still there
Don't you just hate getting old?!
This was the first song I had demoed so it's a bit special. As soon as I listened to the finished track I knew my songs were good enough to invest in - I was hooked!
