This, is my face, covered in freckles with the occasional spot and some veins.
This, is my body, covered in skin, and not all of it you can see
And, this, is my mind, it goes over and over the same old lines
And, this, is my brai-ai-ai-ai-ain, it's torturous analytical thoughts make me go-o-o insane
And I use mouthwash
Sometimes I floss
I’ve got a family
And I drink cups of tea
I've got nostalgic pavement
I've got familiar faces
I've got mixed-up memories
And I've got favorite places
And I’m singing uh-oh on a Friday night
And I’m singing uh-oh on a Friday night
And I’m singing uh-oh on a Friday night and I hope everything's gonna be alright
And I’m singing uh-oh on a Friday night and I hope everything's gonna be alright
This is my face, I've got a thousand opinions and not the time to explain
And this is my body, and no matter how you try and disable it, I'll still be here
And, this, is my mind, and although you try to infringe you cannot confine
And, thi-i-i-is, is my brai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ain, and even if you try and hold me back there's nothing that you can gain
‘Cause I use mouthwash
Sometimes I floss
I’ve got a family
And I drink cups of tea
I've got nostalgic pavement
I've got familiar faces
And I've got mixed-up memories
And I've got favorite places
And I’m singing uh-oh on a Friday night
And I’m singing uh-oh on a Friday night
And I’m singing uh-oh on a Friday night and I hope everything is gonna be alright
And I’m singing uh-oh on a Friday night and I hope everything's gonna be alright
Uh-oh-oh / oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (repeat until end)
This, is my body, covered in skin, and not all of it you can see
And, this, is my mind, it goes over and over the same old lines
And, this, is my brai-ai-ai-ai-ain, it's torturous analytical thoughts make me go-o-o insane
Sometimes I floss
I’ve got a family
And I drink cups of tea
I've got familiar faces
I've got mixed-up memories
And I've got favorite places
And I’m singing uh-oh on a Friday night
And I’m singing uh-oh on a Friday night and I hope everything's gonna be alright
And I’m singing uh-oh on a Friday night and I hope everything's gonna be alright
And this is my body, and no matter how you try and disable it, I'll still be here
And, this, is my mind, and although you try to infringe you cannot confine

This just sums up to me how much I respect Kate for being herself. I love her upfront way of presenting herself and everyday situations that I've never thought about before and not covering up anything 0 good or bad. Mouthwash is so ordinary and I love this song!
"And I use mouthwash Sometimes I floss I’ve got a family And I drink cups of tea"
Seriously, it's hadly fucking SHAKESPEARE is it? Stick to shelf-stacking, love.
although i originally thought it was (and thought it made sense) im pretty sure the lyrics are not "sitting at home on a friday night".
sounds like "singing uh-oh on a friday night"
I think it's 'nostalgic pavement'
and i think its 'singing uh-oh on a friday night' as well.
oh and 'cups' instead of 'lots' of tea...'cause the tea's important =]
It is "singing uh-oh on a friday night". The basic concept of the song is just to represent herself as a down-to-earth ordinary girl in an ordinary world. I get the feeling that the "This is my body, covered in skin, not all of it you can see" line is a dig at women in music who use skimpy clothes and sexual suggestion to sell records, whilst she's not like that.
it's also 'i've got mixed up memories' it's a small change but i think it makes a difference lol Love the song
Yeah, 'mixed up memories', 'singing uh-oh on a Friday night', 'nostalgic pavement' and 'cups of tea' :] Most love this song. Too catchy. I think its her trying to say that shes down to earth and shes just an ordinary girl. Shes not one of those girls that think they're all that and parade around wearing hardly anything, "This is my body, covered in skin, and not all of it you can see". Nice one, lovely song :]
i just love this song! :)
this song is so catchy, with such great lyrics! it's amazing how kate can mix the both together - all the great tunes have rubbish lyrics and all the ones with great lyrics are really slow, boring, accoustic things.
"This is my face, I've got a thousand opinions and not the time to explain" should be "This is my face, I've got a thousand opinions and half the time I'm trying to explain"
great song =]
