Miniature Disasters

I don't want to be second best Don't want to stand in line Don't want to fall behind Don't want to get caught out Don't want to do without And the lesson I must learn Is that I've got to wait my turn Looks like I got to be hot & cold I got to be taught and told Got to be good as gold But perfectly honestly I think it would be good for me Coz it's a hindrance to my health If I'm a stranger to myself Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes Bring me to my knees Well I must be my own master Or a miniature disaster will be It will be the death of me I don't have to raise my voice Don't have to be underhand Just got to understand That it's gonna be up and down It's gonna be lost and found And I can't take to the sky Before I like it on the ground And I need to be patient And I need to be brave Need to discover How I need to behave And I'll find out the answers When I know what to ask But I speak a different language And everybody's talking too fast Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes Bring me to my knees Well I must be my own master Or a miniature disaster will be, will be I've got to run a little faster Or a miniature disaster will be, will be I need to know I'll last if a little Miniature disaster hits me It will be the death of me - KT Tunstall
