School of etiquette

No outro dia estava a ouvir a excelente compilação "Girl Monster" (procurem no google, que vale a pena), quando a letra de uma canção me chamou a atenção, por ter óbvias referências ao mundo BDSM. A canção é a excelente "School of etiquette" da banda norte americana Boyskout.

Procurei no google pela letra completa da canção, mas não se encontra em lado nenhum. Como sou um pouco obcecado, resolvi fazer uma coisa que não fazia desde os meus tempos de adolescente e estive um par de horas a tirar a letra de ouvido.

Eis o que consegui interpretar:

Boyskout, School of Etiquette


I don't need your boy's school of etiquette
I don't mean to be someone or not
rough edge stays
class number year
this is who I am
so take me as I come

she was a sinner and a saint
(walk on the plank)
a sinner and a saint
(daring and proud)
a sinner and a saint
(she wasn't afraid to kiss me)

she was a sinner and a saint
(avenue cat)
a sinner and a saint
(but check I went)
a sinner and a saint
(I wasn't afraid to kiss her)

I don't need your sex machine
I don't mean to be someone or not
what I just face
is a cause of a hero
this is who I am
so take me as I come

She was a top and a bottom
(she was a switch)
a top and a bottom
(she was a switch)
a top and a bottom
(she liked it both)

She was a top and a bottom
(she was a switch)
a top and a bottom
(she was a switch)
a top and a bottom
(she liked it both)

I don't need my tweedious years of a shirt
I don't need to fit a gender role
nobody here's going to lay it on me
wake up to the 21st century

I don't need your boy's school of etiquette
I don't mean to be someone or not
what I just face
is a cause of a hero
this is who I am
so take me as I come

Enfim, claro que não estou cem por cento certo que todas as palavras estão certas, mas para mim isto é parte do charme de tirar letras de ouvido. Se alguém conhecer a canção, seria bom se fizessem correcções, caso tenham feito interpretações diferentes.
