Back up Plan |
She would tear apart each word and turn it into a gimmick |
She used to play with the melodies and beats and the words |
She would come in singing things that no one had heard |
As a child, she was always pretty bright |
Never bitching with the girls or getting into fights |
There was something in her head and there was something in her mind |
There was something going around and there was something burning bright |
This don’t matter to me |
Soon I’ll be on TV |
And I won’t have to dream no more |
This ain’t got nothing on me |
Soon I’ll be VIP |
I’ll be making money, being a G, going properly |
Teachers used to say, «What do you want to be?» |
As soon as she says, «Singer», they all look at her blankly |
Like darling, darling, you need to have a backup plan |
«Like what?», She said, «Working in Matalan?» |
Well, quite frankly, Miss |
I’ve already applied with the other thousand applicants standing in the line but |
That ain’t my calling, I’m tired of your warning cos' I won’t be falling |
So move over darling |
This don’t matter to me |
Soon I’ll be on TV |
And I won’t have to dream no more |
This ain’t got nothing on me |
Soon I’ll be VIP |
I’ll be making money, being a G, going properly |
Now she’s grown, she’s all alone with |
Two kids screaming on the phone is |
Landlord calling for his rent but |
She’s still stalking cos' she can’t pay again and |
Yes, she’s going to court today |
For the dress she stole away |
It was for a big audition |
Oh my, she’s on a mission to show the teachers and the guys |
She made something of her life |
There’s something in her head |
There’s something in her mind |
There’s something going around |
There’s something burning bright |
This don’t matter to me |
Soon I’ll be on TV |
And I won’t have to dream no more |
This ain’t got nothing on me |
Soon I’ll be VIP |
I’ll be making money, being a G |
But it don’t come free |
