Lyrics
Make sure you never stand still,
or, you might become boring.
Make sure you never stop growing,
you’ve got potential, your build for something.
Make sure you keep up appearances,
or, people will start to talk.
Make sure you look the part,
sharp and presentable,
your build for something
Good, child you’ve finally made it.
Great, you’re where you need to be.
Make sure your dresses aren’t to short,
or they might think you’re asking for it (you’re asking for it.)
Don’t stand with your hands in your pockets,
pants not to baggy, shoulders back and
Make sure to not feed in public,
they might feel uneasy (feel uneasy.)
Make sure your cleavage is perfect,
your breasts are sexual,
belly’s should be
Good, child you’ve finally made it.
Great, you’re where you need to be.
Oh you’re one of us now,
You fit right in.
You’re good enough,
just the way you are.
Make sure, you know what’s expected,
or, you might get lost again.
Make sure you stay a part of this,
keep up with all the trends and new things.
Make sure, to share your achievements,
or, they might lose interest (might lose interest.)
Make sure you keep up with everyone,
You’ve got potential,
You’re build for something good
Your build for something, good
Your build for something, good
Your build for something,
Good, Child you’ve finally made it.
Great, you’re where you need to be.
Oh you’re one of us now,
You fit right in.
You’re good enough,
just the way you are.

"This is a band for people who like to listen to music, truly listen. The music is beautifully layered, breathes space as
well as atmosphere, with enough left to discover. The slightly mysterious voice of singer Elenne is soft, broken and hinting at unknown things, perhaps even the mystery beyond what we can hear." - WoNoBloG...more
