17 Lyrics by 椎名林檎 (Sheena Ringo)

私と放電 (Watashi To Hoden)

2000

[Verse 1]
Now I'm 17, my school is in the country
Students wear trainers, read the same magazines
Now I'm 17, my school is getting tiresome
Teachers, they're so young, singling me out

[Pre-Chorus]
Only like philosophy and after school the time
That's what I call my own time
Nice girls meet nice boys, end of school day
While other girls go straight home
Talking about soaps and that

[Chorus 1]
I go home alone
Like it watching the nameless people
Surfing subways, travelling somewhere, nowhere

[Verse 2]
Now I'm 17, I do not have a title
Depend on no one else, busy being kind to myself

[Pre-Chorus]
Only like philosophy and after school the time
That's what I call my own time
Nice girls meet nice boys end of school day
While other girls go straight home
Talking about soaps and that

[Chorus 2]
I go home alone and have dinner
In my sweet home praying again again and again, peace
I see the same faces in school
And they say that I'm different, I think it's an honor
I say it's an honor to be different, I can't go their way

[Chorus 1]
Surfing subways, travelling somewhere, nowhere
I go home alone and have dinner in my sweet home praying again
Again and again (Peace)

[Outro]
Now I'm 17
Now I'm 17
