"Hi. Um, I'm just wondering, have you got any kind of like sort of punky electronica kind of grime, kind of like new-wave-grime, but kind of maybe like more broken beats, like kind of dubby broken beats, but a little bit kind of soulful, but kind of drum-and-bassy, but kind of more broken drum-and-bass, like kind of broken beats, like break beat kind of broken drum-and-bass, kind of---Do you know what I mean? No?"

Lily Allen | Who'd Have Known (Official Video)

It's five o'clock in the morning
Conversation got boring
You said you were going to bed soon
So I snuck off to your bedroom
And I thought I'd just wait there
Until I heard you come up the stairs
And I pretended that I was sleeping
And I was hoping you would creep in with me

Put your arm around my shoulder
And it was as if the room got colder
When we moved closer in together
Started talking about the weather
You said tomorrow would be fun
And we could watch a place in the sun
I didn't know where this was going
When you kissed me

Are you mine? Are you mine?
'Cause I stay here all the time
Watching telly, drinking wine

Who'd have known? Who'd have known?
When you flash up on my phone
I no longer feel alone, no longer feel alone

I haven't left you for days now
And I'm becoming amazed how
You're quite affectionate in public
In fact your friend said it made her feel sick
And even though it's moving forward
There's just the right amount of awkward
And today you accidentally called me baby

Are you mine? Are you mine?
'Cause I stay here all the time
Watching telly, drinking wine

Who'd have known? Who'd have known?
When you flash up on my phone
I no longer feel alone

Let's just stay, let's just stay
I wanna lie in bed all day
We'll be laughing all the way
You told your friends, they all know
We exist but we're taking it slow
Let's just see how it goes
Let's see how it goes

Are you mine? Are you mine?
'Cause I stay here all the time
Watching telly, drinking wine

Who'd have known? Who'd have known?
When you flash up on my phone
I no longer feel alone
Let's just stay, let's just stay
I wanna lie in bed all day
We'll be laughing all the way
You told your friends, they all know
We exist but we're taking it slow
Now let's just see how it goes
Let's see how it goes

Lily Allen | Our Time (Official Video)

It's 2am so I just stopped the music
I'm still swaying like I was on a cruise ship
Took the words straight out of my mouth
Come on everybody back to my house
Take my hand now, you're coming over
It doesn't matter you can sleep on my sofa
Bring some fags and brings some Rizlas
We're gonna party like it's nobody's business

Let your hair down now
It's the end of the week
And this is our time now
Let's forget everything
And put your glad-rags on
Dressing up like we're queens of the night

And we just wanna dance the night away
We don't give a damn what people say
We've had enough so turn it up
Tonight we're taking over
And we will all drink 'til we lose our minds
Wanna lose sense of space and time
We're going through, it's how we do
Tonight we're taking over

I feel fly
I'm rockin' Kenzo
I'll get high but I ain't doin' benzos
I might dance like your auntie
I don't care 'cause we're here to party
I got a quite good record collection
Yeah I got everything that came out on Def Jam
I've got hip-hop, I've got dub step
I'll take us right through from sunrise to sunset

Let your hair down now
It's the end of the week
And this is our time now
Let's forget everything
And put your glad-rags on
Dressing up like we're queens of the night

Drink a little more
Dance a little harder
Shout a little louder if you like
Move a little faster
Stand a little taller
Do whatever makes you feel alright

Go harder
Go harder now

And we just wanna dance the night away
We don't give a damn what people say
We've had enough so turn it up
Tonight we're taking over (go harder)
And we will all drink 'til we lose our minds
Wanna lose sense of space and time
We're going through, it's how we do
Tonight we're taking over

Lily Allen | The Fear (Official Video - Explicit Version)

I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don't care about clever, I don't care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them

And I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
'Cause everyone knows that's how you get famous
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track, yeah, I'm on to a winner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear

Life's about film stars and less about mothers
It's all about fast cars and cussing each other
But it doesn't matter 'cause I'm packing plastic
And that's what makes my life so fuckin' fantastic

And I am a weapon of massive consumption
And it's not my fault, it's how I'm programmed to function
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track, yeah, I'm on to a winner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear

Forget about guns and forget ammunition
'Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint but I'm not a sinner
Now everything is cool as long as I'm getting thinner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear

Lily Allen | Not Fair (Official Video)

Oh, he treats me with respect
He says he loves me all the time
He calls me fifteen times a day
He likes to make sure that I'm fine
You know I've never met a man
Who's made me feel quite so secure
He's not like all them other boys
They're all so dumb and immature

There's just one thing
That's getting in the way
When we go up to bed
You're just no good
It's such a shame
I look into your eyes
I want to get to know you
And then you make this noise
And it's apparent it's all over

It's not fair
And I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
Oh, you're supposed to care
But you never make me scream
You never make me scream

Oh, it's not fair
And it's really not okay
It's really not okay
It's really not okay
Oh, you're supposed to care
But all you do is take
Yeah, all you do is take

Oh, I lie here in the wet patch
In the middle of the bed
I'm feeling pretty damn hard done by
I spent ages giving head
Then I remember all the nice things
That you've ever said to me
Maybe I'm just overreacting
Maybe you're the one for me

It's not fair
And I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
Oh, you're supposed to care
But you never make me scream
You never make me scream

Oh it's not fair
And it's really not okay
It's really not okay
It's really not okay
Oh, you're supposed to care
But all you do is take
Yeah, all you do is take

It's not fair
And I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
Oh, you're supposed to care
But you never make me scream
You never make me scream

Oh, it's not fair
And it's really not okay
It's really not okay
It's really not okay
Oh, you're supposed to care
But all you do is take
Yeah, all you do is take

Lily Allen | LDN (Official Video)

Riding through the city on my bike all day
'Cause the filth took away my license
It doesn't get me down and I feel okay
'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, and he's sitting with a slapper
Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore

You might laugh, you might frown
Walking 'round London town

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 walking down the road
She was struggling with bags from Tesco
There were people from the city having lunch in the park
I believe that it's called al fresco
When 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 jewelry and wallet

You might laugh, you might frown
Walking 'round London town

Life, yeah, that's city life (Angel, Dalston, Stockwell)
Yeah, that's city life (Clapton, Soho, Ladbroke Grove)
Yeah, that's city life
Life, yeah, that's city life (Camden, Brixton, Putney)
Yeah, that's city life (Tottenham, Chiswick, Old Kent Road)
Yeah, that's city life

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

You can see it's all lies
You can see it's all lies
Seems like all lies
Yeah, it's all lies

Lily Allen | Hard Out Here (Official Video - Explicit Version)

I suppose I should tell you what this bitch is thinking
You'll find me in the studio and not in the kitchen
I won't be bragging about my cars or talking 'bout my chains
Don't need to shake my ass for you 'cause I've got a brain
If I told you about my sex life, you call me a slut
Them boys be talking 'bout their bitches, no one's making a fuss
There's a glass ceiling to break, uh-hu, there's money to make
And now it's time to speed it up 'cause I can't move at this pace
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say
I'll go ahead and say them anyway
Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard out here

For a bitch it's hard (for a bitch, for a bitch)
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here
For a bitch it's hard (for a bitch, for a bitch)
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here

If you're not a size six and you're not good looking
Well, you better be rich or be real good at cooking
You should probably lose some weight 'cause we can't see your bones
You should probably fix your face or you'll end up on your own
Don't you want to have somebody who objectifies you
Have you thought about you butt, who's gonna tear in in two
We've never had it so good, uh-hu, we're out of the woods
And if you can't detect the sarcasm, you've misunderstood
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say
I'll go ahead and say them anyway
Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard out here

For a bitch it's hard (for a bitch, for a bitch)
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here
For a bitch it's hard (for a bitch, for a bitch)
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here

A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch (bitch)
A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch (ah)
A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch
A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch

Inequality promises that it's here to stay
Always trust the injustice 'cause it's not going away
Inequality promises that it's here to stay
Always trust the injustice 'cause it's not going away
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say
I'll go ahead and say them anyway
Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard out here

For a bitch it's hard (for a bitch, for a bitch)
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here
For a bitch it's hard (for a bitch, for a bitch)
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here
Bitch it's hard (for a bitch, for a bitch)
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here
For a bitch it's hard (for a bitch, for a bitch)
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here

Lily Allen | As Long As I Got You (Official Video)

It seems like only yesterday you were with somebody else
Soon as it was over though I had claimed you for myself
Didn't take me long before I had moved my stuff to yours
Glad to leave the past behind and I'm glad to close the door

Because you know I love ya
Because you know I love ya

So far has been so good, it seems we stand test of time
You never call me "baby" but you refer to me as "mine"
What I like the best is how you can keep me on my toes
Staying home with you is better than sticking things up my nose

I had that awful feeling, that I needed help
My life had lost its meaning, but you saved me from myself
As long as I've got you and we can be
Together and forever just you and me, well, that's swell

You sleep with your mouth wide open and you go to the pub alone
You only cook from frozen but I don't ever hear you moan
You let me lie in bed when you're doing breakfast with the kids
Landing on my feet with you, I'm so happy this is how we live

Because you know I love ya
Because you know I love ya

I had that awful feeling, that I needed help
My life had lost its meaning, but you saved me from myself
As long as I've got you and we can be
Together and forever just you and me, well, that's swell

As long as I've got you and we can be
Together and forever just you and me, well, that's swell
