Once again, let’s play: WHAT’S STUCK IN MIKE’S HEAD?!? This time it’s Marina and the Diamonds and the song Teen Idle.
It came up on Pandora for me and I was all, “I’ve discovered someone amazing.” Then it turns out this song is several years old. Whatever. Let me ask Wikipedia about her.
Marina Lambrini Diamandis (Greek: Μαρίνα-Λαμπρινή Διαμαντή; born 10 October 1985), known professionally as Marina and The Diamonds, is a Welsh singer-songwriter. Born in Brynmawr and raised in nearby Pandy, she moved to London as a teenager in order to achieve her dream of being a singer, despite little formal musical experience.
That’s like the most badass real name. The Irish pronunciation of my name sounds with “cock.” She wins.
Btw, England, BRYNMAWR?!? How in the sweet fuck is that a real town’s name? I’ll bet they have at least two soccer teams and that said teams hate each other. Fuck it, let’s learn about Brynmawr now.
The town, sometimes cited as the highest town in Wales.
That’s one helluva distinction.
Brynmawr RFC is the local rugby union club which is affiliated to the Newport Gwent Dragons. Brynmawr has a 350 seat cinema (The Market Hall Cinema) which is the longest continually running cinema in Wales. The Market Hall opened in 1893 and has recently been renovated.
Notable people include Adrian Street, professional wrestler, singer-songwriters Huw and Tony Williams and indie pop singer-songwriter Marina Diamandis.
Adrian. Street. I didn’t see that coming.
Ok. Song time.
Marina and the Diamonds TEEN IDLE: MIKE HAS A SONG IN HIS HEAD
Marina and the Diamonds TEEN IDLE Lyrics
I wanna be a bottle blonde
I don’t know why but I feel conned
I wanna be an idle teen
I wish I hadn’t been so clean
I wanna stay inside all day
I want the world to go away
I want blood, guts, and chocolate cake
I wanna be a real fake
Yeah, I wish I’d been, I wish I’d been, a teen, teen idle
Wish I’d been a prom queen, fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible
Feeling super, super, super suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come where I have died
Only to find, I’ve come alive
I wanna be a virgin pure
A twenty-first century whore
I want back my virginity
So I can feel infinity
I wanna drink until I ache
I wanna make a big mistake
I want blood, guts, and angel cake
I’m gonna puke it anyway
Yeah, I wish I’d been, I wish I’d been, a teen, teen idle
Wish I’d been a prom queen, fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible
Feeling super, super, super suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come where I have died
Only to find, I’ve come alive
Come alive, I’ve come alive
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
I wish I wasn’t such a narcissist
I wish I didn’t really kiss
The mirror when I’m on my own
Oh God, I’m gonna die alone
Adolescence didn’t make sense
A little loss of innocence
The ugliness of being a fool
Ain’t youth meant to be beautiful?
Yeah, I wish I’d been, I wish I’d been, a teen, teen idle
Wish I’d been a prom queen, fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible
Feeling super, super, super suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come where I have died
Only to find, I’ve come alive
Only to find, I’ve come alive
Only to find, I’ve come alive
All our lives
(Feeling super, super, super)
(Feeling super, super, super)
(Feeling super, super, super)
All our lives
