Miniature Disasters - KT Tunstall

I don't wanna be second best 
Don't wanna stand in line 
Don't wanna fall behind 
Don't wanna get caught out 
Don't wanna 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 honestly
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 talking too fast 

Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes 
Bring me to my knees 
Well I must be my own master
Or a miniature disaster will be
Well I've got to run a little faster  
Or a miniature disaster will be
Well I need to know I'll last if a little
Miniature disaster hits me
It will be the death of me
