(Jim Marr/ Amy Powers)
The danish singer Marie Frank made her own fantastic interpretation of Marrs and
Powers “Symptom of my life”:
I’m just a symptom of m
y time, just a victim of m
y mind
Turning deaf and dumb and
Blind ’cause I need to
I’m inescapably obs
essed with the thoughts I have rep
ressed
How I look when I’m und
ressed to receive you
W
hy do you th
ink your love could ever change me ?
W
hy ? you don’t know
anything about me baby
Should I wax or should I s
have, be a master or a
slave
Would a good girl misbe
have like I plan to
Do I smile or do I p
out, turn the collar in or
out
It’s the little things that c
ount, baby can’t you see that
I just can’t t
ake it anymore
I need to f
ind some kind of l
ight behind the door
And it
gets me down, yes it
gets me down
Everybody’s got it right but me somehow
And it
gets me down, spins my
head around
Life r
eally should be easier by now
I read another magaz
ine, see the star I’ve never b
een
Hope is something in bet
ween all the pages
I buy a promise in a j
ar, I try to cover up the s
car
There’s no shelter from the s
torm when it rages
I’ve tried so l
ong and hard and nothing changes
God must be l
aughing as he turns away
And it
gets me down, yes it
gets me down
Everybody’s got it right but me somehow
And it
gets me down, spins my
head around
Life really should be easier by now
I just can’t t
ake it anymore
I need to f
ind some kind of l
ight behind the door
I’m just a symptom of my t
ime
I’m just a symptom of my t
ime
I’m just a symptom of my t
ime…
Enjoy…
