Kate Nash Mariella Lyrics

I'm heavy handed to say the least
My mother thinks I'll be an awful clutcher
cause I spill things from stirring them too quickly
I'm far too loud
It's like as soon as I've got an opinion
it just has to come out
I laugh at stupid things just cause they tickle me
And sometimes I wish

Sometimes I wish I was like Mariella
She got some pritstick and she glued her lips together
So she never had to speak, never had to speak,
never had to speak
People use to say she's as quiet as a mouse,
she just doesn't make a peep
She marched to her wardrobe
and she threw away the colour
Because wearing black looks mysterious
but it didn't impress her mother
She wanted to dress her baby in patterns and flowers
But Mariella just crossed her arms and so she cried for hours

Mariella Mariella my pretty baby girl
Unglue your lips from being together and,
and wear some pink and pearls
You can have your friends round and they can stay for tea
Won't you just try to fit in please, do this for me

But Mariella just crossed her arms as she walked up the stairs
And she went into her bedroom and she sat on her bed
And she looked in the mirror and she thought to herself
If I wanna play I can play with me,
if I wanna think I'll think in my head
At school Mariella didn't have many friends
Yeah the girls they all looked at her
and they thought she was quite strange
And the boys they're not really into girls at that age
And the teachers thought Mariella
was just going through a phase
But Mariella just smiled as she skipped down the road
Because she knew all the secrets in her world
Yeah she always got her crossword puzzles right everyday
And she could do the alphabet backwards
without making any mistakes

Mariella Mariella you pretty pretty girl
Mariella Mariella happy in your own little world

And she said yeah I'm never ever ever
ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever
ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
yeah im never ever ever ever ever
ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
Gonna unglue my lips from being together

She said im never ever ever ever
ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
Yeah im never ever ever ever ever
ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
ever ever ever ever ever
gonna unglue my lips from being together.
