The danish singer Marie Frank made her own fantastic interpretation of Marrs and
Powers “Symptom of my life”:

I’m just a symptom of my time, just a victim of my mind
Turning deaf and dumb and Blind ‘cause I need to
I’m inescapably obsessed with the thoughts I have repressed
How I look when I’m undressed to receive you
Why do you think your love could ever change me ?
Why ? you don’t know anything about me baby

Should I wax or should I shave, be a master or a slave
Would a good girl misbehave like I plan to
Do I smile or do I pout, turn the collar in or out
It’s the little things that count, baby can’t you see that
I just can’t take it anymore
I need to find some kind of light 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 really should be easier by now

I read another magazine, see the star I’ve never been
Hope is something in between all the pages
I buy a promise in a jar, I try to cover up the scar
There’s no shelter from the storm when it rages
I’ve tried so long and hard and nothing changes
God must be laughing 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 take it anymore
I need to find some kind of light behind the door
I’m just a symptom of my time
I’m just a symptom of my time
I’m just a symptom of my time…

Enjoy…
