17岁的椎名林檎，写了这张单曲里的第三首曲子，17，seventeen。椎名爱着Janis Ian也写过一首著名的seventeen 两个人都同样的刻薄、透彻，又孤傲。

17岁的我那时候在干什么？应该整天呆坐在教室里，接受填鸭式的教育；应该在课堂时，在草稿本上画着我的漫画；应该在周末在房间里听着音乐；应该在空余时间偷偷地看着漫画；应该在偷偷想着那个女生；应该整天想着放假；应该充满了对现实的不满...

该怎么来形容她的声音，尖锐的？沙哑的？强硬的？都不够完全，却又都饱满的体现了她的个性。那个奇特的声音，有力地穿透了我的耳膜。

now i'm seventeen
my school is in the country
students wear trainers
read the same magazines

now i'm seventeen
my school is getting tiresome
teachers - they're so young
singling me out

only like philosophy & after school the time
that's what i call my own time
nice girls meet nice boys end of school day
while other girls go strait home
talking 'bout soaps'n' that

i go home alone
like it watching the nameless people
surfing subways, travelling somewhere

"...nowhere..."

now i'm seventeen
i do not have a title
depend on no one else
busy being kind (to myself)

i go home alone
and have dinner in my sweet home
praying again, again & again

"...peace..."

i see the same faces in school & they say that i am different
i think it's an honour
i say it's an honour to B different
i can't go their way

now i'm seventeen

"...seventeen..."
