about

A song off my soon to follow EP!

This one is for anyone who has ever had the line "I really like you, but you're just not my type..." used on them! Just a little ditty about being true to yourself in the face of other peoples vanity :) Enjoy.

lyrics

Lyrics;

You want a girl with hips like razorblades, I think you'll find that my wit is sharper
You want a girl with hips like razorblades, you say I'm not the 'type' of girl you're after

You want a girl with hair like a waterfall, what use is it if she can't make you smile
You want a girl with hair like a waterfall, must be more to it than a nice hairstyle

Oh, i could change and wear my hair in curls.
I'm never going to change, I'm not going to be just another girl!

You want a girl with ribs like a xylophone. Boy, you really let your shallowness show!
You want a girl with ribs like a xylophone but who do you call when you're feeling low?

Oh, I could change and dress a different way.
I won't ever change, I'm happier in my onesie anyway!

You want a girl with an hourglass figure but time runs out on things like those,
You want a girl with an hourglass figure. You're no Adonis so don't look down your nose!

Oh, I could change, fall down and worship you.
I won't ever change, even Narcissus has nothing on you.

You said "Girl, you're like no other."
You said "Girl, I like your vibe."
You said "Girl, we could talk forever."
You said "I like you, but you're not my type!"

Oh, why should I change? When you say I'm perfect for you!
Tell me why should I change? I'll be the same after as I was before you.

You wanted a girl with hips like razorblades, I see you still haven't found her.
You wanted a girl with hips like razorblades, I'm glad I'm not the type you prefer.

Oh, I could change. Why should I change for you?
I'll never ever change, just remember me as 'that' girl you knew.
Just remember me as 'that' girl you knew.

Q: What do you get when you mix a ukulele, bashed up acoustic guitar, vocal chords, egg shakers, social awkwardness and a battered hand written song book?
A: Some rather interesting noises, that's what!
