Lily Allen 1집 - Alright, Still (2006) by Lily Allen (보컬) on maniadb.com

When you first left me
I was wanting more
but you were fucking
that girl next door
What'd you do that for
When you first left me
I didn't know what to say
I'd never been on my own that way
just sat by myself all day
I was so lost back then
but with a little help
from my friends
I found the light
in the tunnel at the end
Now you're calling me up
on the phone
so you can have a little
whine and a moan
and it's only because
you're feeling alone
At first when I see you cry
yeah it makes me smile
yeah it makes me smile
At worst I feel bad for a while
but then I just smile
I go ahead and smile
Whenever you see me
you say that you want me back
and I tell you it don't mean Jack
NO it don't mean Jack
I couldn't stop laughing
no I just couldn't help myself
see you messed up my mental health
I was quite unwell
I was so lost back then
but with a little help
from my friends
I found the light
in the tunnel at the end
now you're calling me up
on the phone
so you can have a little
whine and a moan
and its only because
youre feeling alone
At first when I see you cry
yeah it makes me smile
yeah it makes me smile
At worst I feel bad for a while
but then I just smile
I go ahead and smile

At first when I see you cry
yeah it makes me smile
yeah it makes me smile
At worst I feel bad for awhile
but then I just smile
I go ahead and smile
At first when I see you cry
yeah it makes me smile
yeah it makes me smile
At worst I feel bad for a while
but then I just smile
I go ahead and smile

Alright so this is a song about anyone, it could be anyone
You're just doing your own thing and someone comes out of the blue
They're like,
"Alright
What are ya saying?
Yeah can I take your digits?"
And you're like, "No not in a million years, you're nasty
Please leave me alone"

Cut to the pub on a lad's night out
Man at the bar cause it was his shout
Clocks this bird and she looked OK
She caught him looking and walked his way
"Alright darlin', you gonna buy us a drink then?"
"Er no, but I was thinking about buying one for your friend..."

She's got no taste, hand on his waist
Tries to pull away but her lips on his face
"If you insist I'll have a white wine spritzer"
"Sorry love, but you ain't a pretty picture"

You can't knock 'em out, you can't walk away
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say
Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And no you can't have my number
"Why?"
Cause I lost my phone

"Oh yeah, actually yeah um, I'm pregnant
Um, yeah I'm having a baby in like 6 months so no, yeah, yeah..."

I recognize this guy's way of thinking
As he walks over her face starts sinking
She's like,
"Oh here we go..."
It's a routine check that she already knows,
She's thinking, "They're all the same"

"Yeah you alright baby? You look alright still, yeah what's your name?"
She looks in her bag, takes out a fag
Tries to get away from the guy on a blag, can't find a light
"Here, use mine"
"You see the thing is I just don't have the time"

You can't knock 'em out, you can't walk away
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say
Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And no you can't have my number
Cause I lost my phone

Go away now, let me go
Are you stupid? Or just a little slow?
Go away now, I've made myself clear
Nah, it's not gonna happen
Not in a million years

You can't knock 'em out, you can't walk away
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say
Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And no you can't have my number
Cause I lost my phone

You can't knock 'em out, you can't walk away
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say
Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And no you can't have my number
Cause I lost my phone

"Actually I'm getting married next week"

"No, seriously"

"Nah, I've gotta go; my house is on fire"

"I've got, I've got herpes, err no, syphilis! AIDS! AIDS, I've got AIDS."

Riding through the city on my bike all day
Cause the filth took away my licence
It doesn't get me down and I feel ok
Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless

Everything seems to look as it should
But I wonder what goes on behind doors
A fella looking dapper,
but he's sittin with a slapper
Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore

You might laugh you might frown
Walkin' round London town

(Chorus)
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else

When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it's all lies

There was a little old lady,
who was walkin down the road
She was struggling with bags from Tesco
There were people from the city
havin lunch in the park
I believe that it's called al fresco
Then a kid came along to offer a hand

But before she had time to accept it
hits her over the head,
doesn't care if she's dead
Cause he's got all her jewellery and wallet

You might laugh you might frown
walkin round London town

(Chorus)
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else

When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it's all lies

Life, that's city life,
yeah that's city life, that's city life
Life, that's city life,
yeah that's city life, that's city life

(Chorus)
(x2)
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
(x2)
When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it's all lies

Do you think, everything, everyone, is going mental?
It seems to me that it's spiralling outta control and it's inevitable
Now don't you think
This time is yours, this time is mine?
It's temperamental
It seems to me, we're on all fours
Crawling on our knees
Someone help us please

Oh Jesus Christ almighty
Do I feel alright? No not slightly
I wanna get a flat I know I can afford it
It's just the bureaucrats who won't give me a mortgage

It's very funny cos I got your fuckin' money
And I'm never gonna get it just 'cause of my bad credit
Oh well I guess I mustn't grumble
I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

Oh yes, I'm fine
Everything's just wonderful
I'm having the time of my life

Don't you want something else?
Something new, than what we've got here
And don't you feel it's all the same,
Some sick game and it's not insincere?
I wish I could change the ways of the world
Make it a nice place
Until that day, I guess we stay
Doing what we do
Screwing who we screw

Why can't I sleep at night?
Don't say it's gonna be alright
I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognaise
And not feel bad about it for days and days and days

In the magazines they talk about weight loss
If I buy those jeans I can look like Kate Moss
Oh no it's not the life that I chose
But I guess that's the way that things go

Oh yes, I'm fine
Everything's just wonderful
I'm having the time of my life

Oh yes, I'm fine
Everything's just wonderful
I'm having the time of my life

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [etc.]

Oh Jesus Christ almighty
Do I feel alright? No not slightly
I wanna get a flat I know I can afford it
It's just the bureaucrats that won't give me a mortgage

It's very funny cos I got your fuckin' money
And I'm never gonna get it just because of my bad credit
Oh well I guess I mustn't grumble
I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles

Well I guess it's just the way that things go
I suppose it's the way the cookie crumbles
Well I guess it's just the way that things go
I suppose that's the way the cookie crumbles

Now listen I think you and me have
come to the end of our time,
What d'you want some kind of reaction?
Well ok that's fine,
Alright how would it make you feel
if I told you that you never ever made me come?
In the year and a half that we spent together,
Yeah I never really had much fun.
All those times that I said I was sober,
Well I'm afraid I lied,
I'd be lying next to you, you next to me,
All the time I was high as a kite.
I could see it in your face
when you give it to me gentle,
Yeah you really must think your great,
Let's see how you feel in a couple of weeks,
When I work my way through your mates.
(Chorus)
I never wanted it to end up this way,
You've only got yourself to blame,
I'm gonna tell them that your rubbish in bed now
and that your small in the game.
I saw you thought this was gonna be easy,
Well your out of luck.
Yeah lets rewind, let's turn back time
to when you couldn't get it up,
You know what it shoulda ended there,
That's when I shoulda shown you the door.
If that weren't enough to deal with,
You became premature.
I'm sorry if you feel that I'm being kinda mental,
But you left me in such a state.
But now I'm gonna do what you did to me,
I'm gonna reciprocate.
(Chorus)
I never wanted it to end up this way,
You've only got yourself to blame,
I'm gonna tell them that your rubbish in bed now
and that your small in the game.
Your not big your not clever,
No u aint a big brother
Not big what so ever.
Ahhhhhhhhh ...
I'm sorry if you feel that I'm being kinda mental,
But you left me in such a state.
But now I'm gonna do what you did to me,
I'm gonna reciprocate.
(Chorus)
I never wanted it to end up this way,
You've only got yourself to blame,
I'm gonna tell them that your rubbish in bed now
and that your small in the game.
Your not big your not clever,
No u aint a big brother
Not big what so ever.

Ooooooooooo
Ooooooooooo

Friday night last orders at the pub,
Get in the car and drive to the club,
There's a massive crowd outside
so we get in to the queue
It's quarter past 11 now
we won't get in till quarter to.

It's quarter to and we get to the front,
Girl on a guest list dressed like a c***
She asked security to check in my shoes,
You can play this game with me
but you know you're gonna lose.

Looked me up and down,
I don't make a sound,
There's a lesson that I want you to learn,
If you're gonna play with fire
then you're gonna get burned,

(Chorus)
Don't try and test me cos you'll get reaction,
Another drink and I'm ready for action,
I don't know who you think you are,
But making people scared wont get you very far.

Ooooooooooooo
Ooooooooooooo

In the club make our way to the bar,
Good dancing love but you should of worn a bra.
Guy on the mike and he's making too much noise,
There's these girls in the corner wanting attention from the boys.

I see these girls
and they're shouting through the crowd,
Don't understand why they're being really loud.
They make their way over to me,
They try to push me out the way,
I'll push her back, she looks at me and says,
What you tryna say?

Looked me up and down,
I don't make a sound,
There's a lesson that I want you to learn,
If you're gonna play with fire
then you're gonna get burned,

(Chorus x2)
Don't try and test me cos you'll get reaction,
Another drink and I'm ready for action,
I don't know who you think you are,
But making people scared wont get you very far.

Oooooooooooooo
Oooooooooooooo

I've been thinking that you've crossed the line,
if you disagree well that will be just fine,
cos you waste my time and waste my money
and your not too cool and your not so funny!
Spreading your seed all over the town
getting too greedy and messing around:
Oh my gosh you must be joking me
if you think that you'll be poking me.

Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me ooon
Shattered the lie
but you think I don't already know,
Don't try to deny cos my fuse is ready to blow
Its your turn to learn
I think that you know where to go
It's a shame, shame, shame for you

Please don't come around and knock on my door
cos I don't want to have to pick you
up of the floor,
when you ask if we can still be lovers,
I'll have to introduce my brothers,
Think that they could teach you a lesson or two,
By the time they've finished
you'll be black and blue
You'll be crying like a baby,
A sea of tears they'll call the navy in.

Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me ooon
Shattered the lie
but you think I don't already know,
Don't try to deny cos my fuse is ready to blow
It's your turn to learn
I think that you know where to go
It's a shame shame shame for you

Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me ooon
Shattered the lie
but you think I don't already know,
Don't try to deny cos my fuse is ready to blow
It's your turn to learn
but I think that you know where to go
It's a shame shame shame for you

Sometimes I find myself
sittin' back and reminscing
Especially when I have to
watch other people kissin'
And I remember
when you  started callin' me
your miss's
All the play fightin'
all the flirtatious disses
I'd tell you sad stories
about my childhood
I don't know
why I trusted you
but I knew that I could
We'd spend the whole weekend
lying in our own dirt
I was just so happy
in your boxers and
your t shirt
Dreams Dreams
Of when we had
just started things
Dreams of you and me
It seems It seems
That I can't shake
those memories
I wonder if you have
the same dreams too
The littlest things
that take me there
I know it sounds lame
but its so true
I know its not right
but it seems unfair
That things are
reminding me of you
Sometimes I wish we could
just pretend
Even if only for one weekend
So come on tell me
Is this the end
Drinkin' tea in bed
watching DVD's
When I discovered all
your dirty grotty magazines
You take me out shopping
and all we'd buy is trainers
As if we ever needed
anything to entertain us
The first time that
you introduced me
to your friends
And you could tell that
I was nervous
so you held my hand
When I was feeling down
you'd make that face you do
There's no one in the world
who could replace you
Dreams Dreams
Of when we had
just started things
Dreams of me and you
It seems It seems
That I can't shake
those memories
I wonder if you
feel the same way too
The littlest things
that take me there
I know it sounds lame
but its so true
I know its not right
but it seems unfair
That things are
reminding me of you
Sometimes I wish
we could just pretend
Even if only for one weekend
So come on tell me
Is this the end

A picture paints a thousand words,
As one door opens, another one closes,
And two wrongs don't make a right
Now good things come to those who wait,
Take the highs with the lows dear,
You'll get what your given and everything's gonna be alright.

What the fuck do you know?
Just cos you're old you think your wise,
But who the hell are you though,
I didn't even ask for your advice
You wanna keep your mouth shut,
You wanna take your thoughts elsewhere,
Cos you're doing in my nut,
And do you think I care?

(Chorus)
Say what you say,
Do what you do
Feel what you feel,
As long as it's real.
I said take what you take
And give what you give
Just be what you want,
Just as long as it's real.

Now by a horse, I once was told
That all that glitters is not gold
And all that is to fear is fear itself.
This horsey also told me,
I should keep my friends close
but my enemies closer,
So as to protect myself.

What the fuck do you know?
Just cos you're old you think your wise,
But who the hell are you though,
I didn't even ask for your advice
You wanna keep your mouth shut,
You wanna take your thoughts elsewhere,
Cos you're doing in my nut,
And do u think care?

(Chorus)
Say what you say,
Do what you do
Feel what you feel,
As long as it's real.
I said take what you take
And give what you give
Just be what you want,
Just as long as it's real.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

(Chorus x3)
Say what you say,
Do what you do
Feel what you feel,
As long as it's real.
I said take what you take
And give what you give
Just be what you want,
Just as long as it's real.

I don't wanna start a fight,
But in the background
I can hear you chatting shite,
I hear it every night.
And you think that your really cool,
You've been doing it
since we were both at school,
Now who looks like a fool.

(Chorus)
You're no friend of mine girl
And I've known it for a while girl,
You're just a waste of time girl
Why don't you have another line girl.

Tell me what did you expect?
Have you got no self respect?
Reputation to protect?
Soon you'll be a nervous wreck. (x2)

What happened to the good old days?
I was hoping this was just a stupid phase
Who are you anyway?
I know you've heard this all before
I know some people who are calling you a whore
Don't know you anymore

(Chorus)
You're no friend of mine, girl
And I've know it for a while, girl
You're just a waste of time, girl
Why don't you have another line, girl?

Tell me what did you expect
Have you got no self respect?
Reputation to protect?
Soon you'll be a nervous wreck. (x2)

Tell me what did you expect
Have you got no self respect?
Reputation to protect?
Soon you'll be a nervous wreck. (x2)

Ooooo deary me,
My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed,
I tell him he should get up cos it's nearly quarter past three
He can't be bothered cos he's high on THC.
I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea,
I can't even see you cos the room is so smokey,
Don't understand how one can watch so much TV,
My baby brother Alfie how I wish that you could see.

Oooooo I only say it cos I care,
So please can you stop pulling my hair.
Now, now there's no need to swear,
Please don't despair my dear Mon frere.


Ooooo Alfie get up it's a brand new day,
I just can sit back and watch your life waste away
You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid.
Get off your lazy arse,
Alfie please use your brain
Surely there's some walls out there that you can go spray,
I'm feeling guilty for leading you astray,
Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid,
When all you do is stay and play on your computer games?

Oooooo I only say it cos I care,
So please can you stop pulling my hair.
Now, now there's no need to swear,
Please don't despair my dear Mon frere.

Oh little brother please refrain from doing that,
I'm trying to help you out so can you stop being a twat.
It's time that you and I sat down and had a little chat,
Just look me in the eyes take off that stupid thick hat.

Oooooo I only say it cos I care,
So please can you stop pulling my hair.
Now, now there's no need to swear,
Please don't despair my dear Mon frere.

Please don't despair
Please don't despair
Mon frere
