Of Lily Allen

I shouldn't like *this*

It's from the Lily Allen album "It's not me, it's you"

Don't look at the link if you're easily offended by the word F*** as it appears multiple times. But this song really struck a chord with R and I. It's full of things we'd love to say.

Look inside, look inside your tiny mind
Then look a bit harder
'Cause we're so uninspired, so sick and tired
Of all the hatred you harbor

So you say it's not okay to be gay
Well, I think you're just evil
You're just some racist who can't tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

F*** you, f*** you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

F*** you, f*** you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Do you get, do you get a little kick
Out of being small minded?
You want to be like your father
It's approval you're after
Well, that's not how you find it

Do you, do you really enjoy
Living a life that's so hateful?
'Cause there's a hole where your soul should be
You're losing control a bit
And it's really distasteful


F*** you, f*** you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

F*** you, f*** you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch

And then it continues in the same vein. And I shouldn't like it - it's full of cussing and rudeness, but actually, if you look at the actual words, it makes a lot of sense. Some people are just so small minded it's ludicrous. It's allegedly written against the BNP, (British National Party) and makes even more sense in that context.

Isn't it about time we had songs with meaning? Even if they are crude in the chorus lol! Some people should just be told to get stuffed, utterly, and with meaning.

And the version with the Cadbury children is wickedly funny.
