lyrics

Saturn’s child was I

With the world upon my shoulders

Like a Sisyphean boulder

Growing heavier as I got older


Saturn’s child was I

With a fulminating father

Worked himself into a lather

Telling me I should try harder


Too little fire and too much water

I’m the archetypal eldest daughter

Doing everything I can to please

Curry favour and appease


Saturn’s child am I

So I lack determination

I could represent my nation

When it comes to hesitation


Saturn’s child am I

Don’t you see my spirit’s broken

By the harsh words that were spoken

By a mouth that’s ever open


Can’t forget the lessons of the past

How I wish I could grow up at last

Learn to live without self-sacrifice

Tugging at my heartstrings, I’d think twice

Saturn's child am I
