biggayroundabout First couple of listens of this and I was in tears. Walked past that dilapidated stage in Crystal Palace mere weeks before the video release and you captured exactly the magic I experienced. Speaking in supportive tones to the child and busting out some crazy eye by the mirror as your voice cracks with passion. A stunning independent track that's indefinable in its raw power. You're something else!

lyrics

Listen up, settle down. Without a shadow of doubt
I’m not the girl you knew before. So if you thought I was
Taking it, taking it easy. Taking it, taking it easy.
Getting my thrills, getting my deals. Say this is not for me

I’m too wild for this world, ever since I was a girl
Like a diamond, or a pearl, I’m feeling the pressure
Pushing on pushing on me yeah, crushing & crushing on me yeah
Making me ill, gotta be still. Say this is not for me.

I’m a believer lord, trying to keep the faith
Maybe I’m done with this bittersweet place
Too dark, don’t let them tell you you’re too dark
Don’t let them tell you you’re too dark. How great thou art

I used to be somebody, I heard her say
Don’t let them
Tell me the piece bobby society

Sorry I let you down, heavy the head with the crown
Couldn’t fit into this town. Its different for girls like me
Taking it, taking it easy. Taking it, taking it easy
Now she’s on pills, just can’t be still. Say this is not for me.

Cause I’m too wild for this world, ever since I was a girl
Like a diamond or a pearl, forged under pressure but it’s
crushing and crushing on me yeah
Pushing & pushing on me yeah.
Making me ill, I gotta be still. Say this is not for me.
No No No No

“I used to be somebody” I heard her say
Don’t let them, “tear me to pieces Bobby...society”
“Just smile and” Look at all this bread, look at all this honey
Look at all these cars and look at all this money
We might take a walk in the park after dark
In this town of broken dreams, where nothing ever lasts
Look at all these things, who's pulling all your strings
Baby’s got back and yeah, she’s a buff ting oh
London’s on fire. We’re trying to break free
Your dreams might expire, you might not get hired

Look at what we’re dealing with and look at what we’re taught
How did we become so low, do we really need this tho
Look at all these stars, rising from their graves
Look at all the ones that are making money from their faces
Look at all this things, look at all this honey
Look at all this cars and isn’t it funny

Might take a walk in the park through the dark
Can’t you see, we build this (We built this house)
On rocky ground (built this house)
We built this (we built this house) on rocky ground (Build this house)

Too dark (too dark)
Don’t let them tell you you’re too smart (too smart)
Don’t let them tell you you’re too large (too large)
Don’t let them tell you you’re too much (too much)
Too much for you

Too dark (too dark)
Don’t let them tell you you’re too smart (too smart)
Don’t let them tell you you’re too large (too large)
Don’t let them tell you you’re too much (too much)
Don’t let them tell you you’re too much

Too dark, too bold, too much, too bold
Don’t let them
Don’t let them
