  • Many of my poems are the inspirations behind my songs and their lyrics. And in 2021 I wrote and debuted a solo poetry show called Another Universe. This is also a poetry book that you can buy

    This collection takes you through three narratives of lives that could have been if different choices had been made. Ever wondered what might have happened if you didn't catch the plane home? Chose a different career? Beautifully illustrated by Emil Datony, these poems weave the stories of other lives to reflect on ideas of possibility and regret while looking at topics of identity, sexuality, war and feminism.

lyrics

Chorus
I wanna be blonde when I grow up
I wanna be blonde with a double D cup
I wanna be blonde with legs that go
Up, up, up, up
Up, up, all the way up

VERSE 1
The daughter of an immigrant
Still barbie has an imprint
Knows how beauty is perceived
knows what society sees
Dark skin, brown hair, bony knees

Don't let them see the fire or small the burning spice

CHORUS
I wanna be blonde when I grow up
I wanna be blonde with a double D cup
I wanna be blonde with legs that go
Up, up, up, up
Up, up, all the way up

VERSE 2
Put away the turmeric and coconut oil
Use beauty products packed in plastic and foil
Forget about the virtues timid and demure
Women of the west use sex and allure

Tone down the drumming and chilli's for luck
Lose your traditions or you will be stuck

I wanna be blonde when I grow up.
