[Verse 1]
When you see the trees bend
And when you see the trees bend
I feel they've got a lot more sense than me
I try to resist...
[Chorus 1]
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the bend
If I could learn to give like a rubber band
I'd be back on my feet
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband pony tails
I could learn to twang like a rubber band
I'd be a rubberband girl
[Post-Chorus]
A rubberband girl, me
A rubberband girl, me
I wanna be a rubberband girl
[Verse 2]
When I slip out
Of my catapult
I wanna land with my feet firm on the ground
And let my body catch up
[Chorus 2]
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the bend
If I could learn to give like a rubber band
I'd be back on my feet
A rubberband hold my trousers up
A rubberband pony tails
I wanna learn to twang like a rubberband
And be a rubberband girl
[Post-Chorus]
A rubberband girl, me
A rubberband girl, me
I wanna be a rubberband girl
[Interlude]
[Outro]
A rubberband bend the beat back
A rubberband bend the beat back
I wanna snap like a rubberband
I wanna twang like a rubberband
A rubberband girl, me

Kate herself has said:
I thought the original ‘Rubberband’ was… Well, it’s a fun track. I was quite happy with the original, but I just wanted to do something really different. It is my least favourite track. I had considered taking it off to be honest. Because it didn’t feel quite as interesting a...
It was just me on my own playing along to what was there. It was just her communicating exactly the way she wanted it to sound. Maybe she was telling me she wanting it to sound a little freer and livlier. At times she encouraged me to really stretch, in a way that was like we were just jamming and s...
