  • 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 and cold
    I got to be taught and told
    Got to be good as gold
    But perfectly honest
    I think it would be good for me
    Cause it's a hindrance to my health
    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 speaking too fast

    Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes
    Bring me to my knees

    Well I must be my own master
    I've got to run a little faster
    I need to know I'll last if a little
    Miniature disaster hits me
    It could be the death of me Writer/s: KATIE TUNSTALL, KT TUNSTALL
