Blunt - Wild Strawberries

I don’t want to be beautiful

No one ever hears her speak

I don’t want to be a diplomat

With a heart attack for peace

All that I need is a fire escape

All that I need is a stone

Everything that starts out burning

Ends up overgrown

I don’t want to be an astronaut

I’ve flown higher on my own

I don’t want to be a movie star

I don’t need to be alone

All that I need is a blunt excuse

All that I need is a ruse

Everything that starts off burning

Ends up feeling used

I don’t want to be president

There’s some things I’d like to keep

I don’t want to be a nightingale

I don’t need to feel that cheap

All that I need is an antidote

All that I need is a muse

Everything that starts off burning

Ends up feeling used
