KT Tunstall - Acoustic Extravaganza (2006) - Miniature Disasters lyrics

• 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
  Coz it's a hindrance to my health
  I'm a stranger to myself
  
  Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
  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 catastrophoes
  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
