She's Weird Lyrics

If you asked a fish to climb a tree, would you expect it to succeed

Would you ask a zebra to change their stripes and make them choose between black or white

Would you ask a lion to silence their roar or suggest that a bird didn't sing anymore

Well I attempted to climb but I fell to the floor

I washed out my stripes and I muted my roar

I hid my colours, I locked them up in a drawer

But I can't hide my song from the world anymore

Can I play the keyboard

I want a drum

Can I have a guitar

Miss, can I play the flute

I want to play the ukulele

Violin Miss

If the world won't let you play along

You have to learn how to sing your own song

Never let the normal kids ruin your fun

We've got to dance to the beat of our own drum

23 years in education, confusing and losing the friends I'd been making

My music I can't read or play, but I can write, I can sing, I still scraped my MA

I might not be the most academic cookie in the tin

But I'm by far the brightest crayon of that box I've been put in

So if you judge me by my school grades, you mustn't be that smart

Cos what I lack in knowledge I sure make up with my giant heart

And what I lack in social skills I make up with performing arts

And I'm alright at Mario Kart

If the world won't let you play along

You have to learn how to sing your own song

Never let the normal kids ruin your fun

We've got to dance to the beat of our own drum

So move over Jenny, there's a weird kid on the block

Just a starseed on a unicorn, she's never gonna stop

She is searching for some answers but don't know which ones to ask

She's here, she's queer, she's no idea, she's wearing a mask

You can usually find her rocking in the corner, unaware of her awesome artistic disorder

You can usually find her ticking in the corner, unaware of her awesome artistic disorder

You can usually find her rocking in the corner, unaware of her awesome artistic disorder

She's here she's queer she's really weird

Dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD

Depression and of course Anxiety

I've got hoarding disorder and PTSD

Borderline aka EUPD

WTFs happening to me

Why can't I be like my uni friends

They're all racking up credits in the West End

Whilst I'm busy racking up suicide attempts, turns out I'm a different statistic

I just found out I'm autistic

So pass me the music

I said pass me the

If the world won't let you play along, you have to learn how to sing your own song

Never let the normal kids ruin your fun. We've got to dance to the beat of our own drum

If the world won't let you play along, you have to learn how to sing your own song

Never let the normal kids ruin your fun. We've got to dance to the beat of our own drum

If the world won't let you play along, you have to learn how to sing your own song

Never let the normal kids ruin your fun. We've got to dance to the beat of our own drum

If the world won't let you play along, you have to learn how to sing your own song

You've got to dance to the beat of your own drum

She's just a bit unusual

Yeah, that's just her style

She's really weird

Yeah, she's a bit weird, isn't she

Why don't you want to play with her

She's just a bit different from the other kids

Ellerose, you're weird

Oh, thanks guys. That's the best compliment I've had all day
