Miniature Disasters - KT Tunstall

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

Oh and the lesson I must learn

Is that I've got to wait my turn?

Looks like I got to be hot and cold

I got to be taught and told

Got to be good as gold

But perfectly, honestly

Oh, I think it would be good for me

'Coz it's a hindrance to my health

If I'm a stranger to myself?

Oh, miniature disasters and minor catastrophes

Bring me to my knees

Well, I must be my own master

Or a miniature disaster will be, oh

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 going to 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, yeah

Well, I must be my own master

Or a miniature disaster will be, will be, yeah, yeah

Well, I've got to run a little faster

Or a miniature disaster will be, will be

Oh well, I need to know I'll last

If a little miniature disaster hits me, oh, oh

It will be the death of me
