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 (Verse 2) - repeat Verse1 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 (Verse 3) - repeat Verse1 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 (Bridge) .. 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 Repeat 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
