Cranberries

I'm sitting here eating dried cranberries
Wishing I could be anywhere else
But unfortunately I'm stuck in this world
Typing this stupid paper, paper

I'm listening to a song sung by a girl
With an awesome English accent
And I have to admit I was kind of inspired
And I think she'd maybe sing this

Yeah I like music and cranberries
And I like making stone houses for fairies
During the summer when no one is watching
But my friends who are all just as weird

Because yes, I am human and humans like cranberries
It's a fact of nature
Now there are cranberry stains on my fingers
And there will be on this paper, paper

Now I'm talking to my friend on the phone
And she thinks this song is stupid that I'm writing
But really I quite like it really a lot
Because of the way it really goes, goes

Because yes, I am human and humans like cranberries
It's a fact of nature
Now there are cranberry stains on my fingers
And there will be on this paper, paper

Note: anyone who knows Kate Nash, this was written to be sung to the tune of Foundations. :) But whatever.
