I miss her type of artist. A songstress with a mellow and sweet voice but with lyricisms that pack a symphony of sarcasm, viciousness, and truth that one might fail to notice at first because of how sweet and casual she is singing it. She’s like that rebellious girl who doesn’t try too hard. Love her a lot.
Wanted to write something similar but you sir wrote every single word perfectly.
Exactly like Melanie Martinez or Jessie J
I would imagine most of her lyrics are from her Dad. And the melody was written by Greg Kurstin
Melanie Martinez is basically the modern day Lilly Allen
that was Marina in her first few eras :'D
"I am a weapon of massive consumption, and its not my fault, its how i'm programmed to function"
What an awesome line
Forget about guns and forget ammunition cos I’m killing them all on my own little misson- also a good line
Honestly
She used to be so good, i dont know what happened to her

For all you none Brits, "I'll look at The Sun and I'll look in the Mirror" are two British newspapers for anyone who's unaware. One of my favourite lines of the whole song, very clever
Oh my gosh all of these years that has been the one line in this song that I didn't think was satirical-- I can't believe that went over my head thank you!
dont worry, brit culture is such that most internationals will know of these media outlets.
Are Dub yeah the funny thing for me is that I am familiar with the sun and the mirror but they are not commonplace enough in my life that it would be something I think of upon hearing those names out of context
Didn't know that, thank you.
It is meant in two different ways though. We have the sun in the U.S. too
I like how brutally honest and unapologetically truthful she is. She's not trying to sell herself under an exaggerated image or have an alter ego, she is just spitting facts about life in this modern age and its so relatable.
This comment is underrated asf!
I agree. Crazy to think this came out in 2008
Greed is funny... And it works. That is you will get your money, and materialism if you are hungry enough for it. But it`s never going to give you the contentment you seek ( trust me i know) . There is always another " shiny new thing" to chase around the corner.
Agreed, I love the honesty and vulnerability in her tracks. Lily is always on my playlists.Still going strong in 2024!
Can you imagine if Taylor Swift did this song? It would be so cool, but. you know, in an ironic way.
Lily Allen. One of the most underrated artists walking this earth. I hope she creates a comeback soon.

"Omg she's so underrated"
Thank u
@@commiedog425 Yes it's already very good it's for sure that it's less than Lady Gaga or Byoncé in addition her best songs are not necessarily the most popular
Really? She’s hot. That’s it as far as I see
@@commiedog425 yeha she is underrated, her songs deserve more views. End of Conversation.
The lyrics hit to you differently as you grow older, I was once obsessed with this song when I was 15 and I have just got my second-first listen again at 24
Same :D
Yeah the lyrics are actually pretty deep
Agreed
Couldn’t agree more I heard this when it came out I was about 11 at the time and still love it because of the beet now it’s even better because of they lyrics lol
Same ❤
It's 2018...10 years later this song feels more relatable than ever...what a shame
Very true! Much agreed, yeah...
Damn! That's EXACTLY what I was just thinking.
Mans' materialistic greed will be the becoming of mans' demise on this planet that we are over consuming today without much care for our tomorrow.
I click on this video and see I have a comment from 9 years ago lol... and I'm sure I'll be listening for more decades to come.
itssandytime the human race has been on a decline since 1913... and hasn't stopped.
Christ, is this song really 14 years old? It's still one of the freshest songs out there!
mate me listening to it again am nearly 60 year old fuckin refreshing
You're never too old to enjoy good music. I'm in my early 60s and love her music. Cheers!
Legit.
Oh, fuck--I'm OLD.
Its since the message is even more relevant today
"I look in the sun and I look in the mirror." Clever play on words trying to hint the two newspapers.
I didn't even notice that. That's brilliant.
+Maks Tracy Neither did I. Ingenious.
+Awiar Nasseri Wooooowwwwww, that is so clever and ingenious and brilliant. Not. Bunch of idiots.
Jamie Dawkins b8 detected
No, I was genuinely astounded by how stupid you and your friends are.
LILY ALLEN WAS SUCH AN ORIGINAL ICON , I wish people could still appreciate that
There is nothing wrong with lily I am not her huge fan of hers but shes very clever talented person very ordinary and very unique person we need more people like lily allen and her talents
She was overrated especially in her prime.
@@AJ-cv9zf In recent years, she's become the very thing she criticised. Literally sells people up the river to get herself attention.
I already thought that "And I am a weapon of massive consumption/And it's not my fault it's how I'm programmed to function" was the cleverest couplet in the history of pop music and only today, almost a decade later, did I realize that the next line about looking at the sun and mirror isn't just metaphorical (which works fine) but is a reference to the tabloids. Bravo, Lily. Genuine brilliance.
I got that one instantly, however no one ever gets the the sun anymore as they stopped the page 3 :(
didn't get it
Oh, nice. I didn't get that reference. Very clever and lyrics-wise likely my favorite pop song.
r/iamverysmart
Wooooh
As I approach my late 20s, I will never forget how amazing and massive this was in 2009, during my final years of secondary school. I am so nostalgic for it!
It happens to all of us.
Same. Was 15 and 29 now
i was in Primary 4 in 2009, i'll be 23 in September this year
I was at university then. I didn't learn of this song until a few years later, when my mate played it to me.
my mum would listen to this song in long car drives a lot and i heard it playing somewhere and it gave such a surreal feeling and honestly as a little kid i never realised how actually good the song is. this song has an un replicatable style
She was way ahead of the times
Surreal... Cool!
Dont know if she wrote this herself but I like it a lot.
@@willjh1980 she is her own songwriter you can tell that in go back to the start where she talks about her sister's relationship and how she wants to make amends because it's all her fault it's a great song for what it is an honest apology of her mistakes from her heart but yeah.
th-cam.com/video/yN9CPloRkro/w-d-xo.html
The chord progressions in the chorus are killing me. This is massively underrated.
Right, the background keyboards are superb, and make the track extra special.
@@rzn194 oohh I love that song, one of the greatest songs of the past 20 years. ‘BTSTU’ by Jai Paul and ‘Out Getting Ribs’ by King Krule are some others.
lol right?? I loved this song when i was like 15, but I didn't really know anything about music back then. it randomly popped into my head today for the first time in years, and upon listening to it again... yeah, it's actually kinda neat? it's got that chromatic descending progression in the verses with the flat VII and flat VI, and then the flat VII again in the chorus. There's a fair amount of tension between the chords and the melody too. pretty cool for a pop song!
I like the ambiguous major-minor going on.
Yes pretty interesting for a pop song when it goes minor when not expected
Her lyrics are so relevant.

Too, TRUE!
Perhaps more relevent than ever.
cornishrob123 - Yeah :( But on the bright side you look quite sexy XD
It's currently 2024 and it's AWESOME to see people coming back to this masterpiece so many years later!
Thank you Lily! ❤️
people (who clearly dont understand the English language or our culture) she isnt talking from her point of view. the entire song is from the point of view of naive people who want to be celebrities it is also from the point of view from celebrities as well. firstly lets start of with the sun and the mirror... they are 2 british national newspapers. when she says lets look at the sun and i'll look in the mirror. she is saying lets look at the newspapers. now for the rest of the song it is about how people want to be celebrities because of how good it is. however lily is pointing out all the negativities and how celebrities just dont care that they are constantly judged and if someone says loose 3 stone even though they are perfect they will.
***** And other countries who speak English and are unaware of the national newspapers :D
HAHA thanks for bringing that up. I was wondering what was the meaning behind those two words, though I am familiar but not familiar enough with the British national newspapers
95btkh not a problem any other phrases in the song you dont understand? just ask me
***** i think he gets it now...
As an American, I took those lines to mean looking at the sun to distort your vision before looking at your own appearance. AKA: Pursuit of an idealized and ridiculous vision of "beauty".
Just realised that to an American, the lines "I'll look at The Sun, and I'll look in The Mirror" is just Lily trying to blind herself and checking her outfit out, but for us it's newspapers.
... Holy fuck that's actually pretty smart, she's done it so audiences worldwide can interpret it without it only sounding right to one country.
@EQ Games Well, now you can xD How did you see that part of the lyrics before?
I commented that fact years ago to a canadian yall are slow lmao
@@hotmess2766 it's not that we're slow lol, it probably got buried sadly.
And from a non-UK perspective, it takes on a more poetic approach. Looking at the sun means being blind to reality, looking at a mirror means being self-absorbed by oneself. Love it
this song just unlocked memories i didn’t even realise i had
You are on the money, been wrecking me brain for a good long while wondering what this beautiful feeling I get that I can't explain when listening to this song. Its also the celebration of an amazingly talented young lady. I am blown away by Lilly

@@ZebraChain stop spamming self promotion, thanks.
Yess the noglostia is real
just normal memories foe me buit still good song
She is one of the very many celebs who is outspoken about the avalanche of lies & corruption in the world. The main reason she 'fizzled' out of the mainstream spotlight....
She chose to quit the industry
@@kittykatzcount1092 Exactly! - media is as corrupt as politicians.
I don't think that's true. And she wasn't necessarily outspoken about lies and corruption in the world, so much as she was singing a song of something similar, whether she believed that, or not. If there's evidence, then please tell me I'm wrong, otherwise I won't have any reason to correct myself.
@@FitzgeraldStanburyWeissV yeah, growing up is realising just how many people say something and don't actually mean it. not sure if that's allen, but most people are just great at faking/ marketing themselves/ aesthetics. pretty disappointing in general of people.
This song is a time capsule for sure. A wave of nostalgia hits me every time I hear the chorus
Im in your walls
So true👍👍
@Cosmic Guardian haha no I meant nostalgia. It’s a nostalgic song to me
@@charcoollive6126 ok have fun
I feel the same.
I am a weapon of massive consumption, it's not my fault it's just how i'm programmed to function... Still the best part of the lyrics. Describes about 90% of the western human population.
Yep

I miss this kind of music
It's better than Kanye west
I used to love this type of music when I was growing up. It made me oddly calm
+Holy Chicken same omg
It still exists tho
i know i have been searching for this song for years
Sarcastic, clever, underrated song...I hope she'll keep up the good job...
A song that needs to be heard and taken seriously today...
Jas.
"I don't care about smart, I don't care about funny." But her lyrics are both. :D
U 2 cleva :*
It's witty no6 smart
"I'll look at The Sun and I'll look in The Mirror."
I see what you did there.
My mind is blown. Forever.
MY GOD THAT WAS WELL SPOTTED...... I DONT KNOW WHATS RIGHT AND WHATS REAL ANYMORE
OfficialVetox The Sun and The Mirror are newspapers in the UK that often talk about popular or celebrity culture, which is the subject of criticism in this song.
My mind is still blown.
chiffmonkey how did i not notice?
OMFG I GET IT LOL
I think that Lily Allen is one of the cleverest songwriters in the British pop scene, writing for a British audience. I mean how many Americans hearing the song would know that the "Sun and the Mirror" is referring to two specific British tabloid newspapers? Genius.
Dont ever write for the Americans . They are so inward thinking they wont get it it if you wrote it down in Crayon and drawings
I'm an American lulz
me?
brit politics is getting a world stage these days. for the entertainment value.
I mean i learned about that right here in this comments section yes, but pretty much everything else also applies to the us media
There's probably more worldly Yanks than you realize...& know about those rags & what they represent...as thoughtlessly common knowledge as it can be.
That said, there's not nearly enough. It seems the uneducated morons supporting a literal fascist, seditious con man for re-election are coming out of the woodwork.
If he's reelected, I'll be heading your way or to Europe.
The tail end of the 2000's had some great music
Better than the Roman Songs your slaves sang?
Ave, true to Caesar
her whole album was amazing, " it's not you it's me,"
probably one of the best albums of the 2000's
ikr
It's funny because at the time everyone at school/college was like "today's chart music is shit" :LLL
Real talent is never glamorized.
this song is the theme song of this year people are so synthetic
Semitic 🥰
this is song is so relevant right, and it is so cleverly and beautifully written
Chloe Iversen that's the magic of our times is around the time this video was made many people saw the undercurrent of cynicism before it became totally apparent to everyone else
This comment wasn't cleverly written tho
Unnecessary ^
‘I’ll look at The Sun and I’ll look in The Mirror’ is such a clever lyric.
rags sheets always are
I’d imagine any not from the UK wouldn’t get it. 👍🏽

Going through all her songs cause i havent heard of her for a while and finding out that all my old favourite songs were sung by her and i had no idea
Holly Mackinnon wow I did the same thing! Her songs are awesome
Holly Mackinnon I love her old music sooo much
the best is when she swears, typical brit!
I like her new album too but her oldest one Alright Still is my favourite. 💞
+Holly Mackinnon (Mack) I'd heard of her, but never really listened until I decided to look her up after reading an article on Alfie. Her older stuff is great! This song is the one I get others started with ;)
Take me back. Take me back. Dancing on a dance floor in 2008 to this song actually connecting to the message. Still feel it
this is one of the most honest songs I've heard in my life... :)
TwentyØnePhantasticPotatoHeads IntheBlueBadlands I love her, she's so amazing ♥️
Pretty sure it’s intended to be at least slightly tongue in cheek. Considering the fact that the artist is clearly impervious to these cultural influences yet she notices these bizarre traits in others.
Clearly this song is clever and funny...
lilly Allen is my fave. so much nostalgia, and her songs are actuakly fucking meaningfuk
Meaningful, not meaningfuk.
Superblooner1 WEE U WEE U WATCH OUT GRAMMA RPOLICE!!!
Somehow "meaningfuk" fits perfectly as well. XD
+GreenLufein I actually like meaningfuk as well hahaha
is your 'L' key okay?
This song is nice to listen at first, then you look to the lyrics and you'll get it. It is daunting how we are being bombarded with advertisements all the time, telling us to buy, media telling us what we should be paying attention to. Honestly, we're used to too much stimulation in our daily lives, that a short while on our own without internet has us bored. It's true for me, so I try to sit in silence often. It's calming.
Gambling adverts, erectile disfunction ads, gay couple having their car delivered, mixed race couples on every ad, Twitter tweeting and followers, wagon wheels and bounty decreasing in size, the list goes on
Same with literally every song of hers🤣
i agree. sometimes we pay too much attention to what's outside that we forget to look within and nurture what's there...
@@gaz4840 Okay?
@@Earthneedsado-over177 no, now toilet rolls are 2 cm smaller
this always takes me back to 2009! 😭 i miss music and videos like this

It takes balls full of spunk to enjoy it
god i remember that plan b album that year or 2010 what a good selection of brit songs there were at that time.
_Plants and celebrity news, all the vitamins I'll consume._
We are here for the same reason.
I miss Lily Allen old music, her lyrics are funny but yet tells the truth about the shit society throws at you. I hope she makes another album like its not me, its you...Sheezus was ok wasnt too crazy about.
You clearly don't know the meaning of Sheezus then aha
Sheezus didn’t really do it for me neither did lily back when it came out but alright, still and it’s not me it’s you have always been brill hope no shame is gonna be good too
This song is so deep and the video makes it even better with those Alice in Wonderland vibes... I think I was around 12 when I first heard it and ever since I've been in love with it.
Lily was speaking some truth...
Seriously though
Same. But when I got older I realised it was actually about having an eating disorder and subliminal messages in the vid crying for help, kind of sad glad she is in recovery now though.
Same here! #12YearOldSquad
Her lyrics are getting more and more relevant with each year that passes. Most underrated artist on this planet. Her mellow and sweet voice combined with her British accent makes the lyrics pop out even more. It's September 2024 and I haven't heard this song since it came out and I still know every single word. This is how you know the artist has an impact. Lily, lots of love to you.
She's such a strong woman :)
I can't imagine ANY of her songs being about being in love and stuff like that, yet she was able to do an AMAZING cover of Somewhere only we know.
She is the wake up call to us all :)
Love you :)
what about when she did true love with pink?
swirlingmass Oh yeah... but she was cutting carrots, which could mean smtg... you know,... HIS something XD
lol sorry thats so sick minded
Actually Sheezus has many love songs (Close your eyes, L8 Cmmr, As long as i got you, Who do you love....)but they are still good
Pedro Perez Meh, I wouldn't say L8 Cmmr is about love... more like the opposite to It's Not Fair...
I must have been under a rock. Today is the first time I have heard of her! She is awesome!!
Yes ^^
Welcome
+Jack Copeland I agree
yes she is
Not a rock, just a larger than normal pebble....
I remember this song back in the day, but never realised just how interesting and well-written it is. Amazing Lily Allen could make a chart-topping song like this.
What do you mean? What do you mean that you’re amazed!? It’s a good song!
@@MichaelSuperbacker was thinking how it's exceptional to have a great pop song that's also brutally honest. There were other artists back then who achieved the same (Eminem, Kanye West, Amy Winehouse), 2000s pop music wasn't just sex and partying. To this day Lily Allen's tone is very unique.
Classic. I love how everything is colorful and posh throughout the song and the ending is only with a creepy grey mist covering the whole area. The song is so entertaining and looks like a bright-upbeat one, however it's a deceiving song as it feels in its lyrics, because it is very dark indeed.
I'm really loving this girl. She speaks the truth and it's funny to see bitter people who just don't get what this song is actually about.
Over 10 years later, still a fuckin' banger.
FUCKIN' BANGER
Most certainly!

@Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz came out in 2008
@Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz my 16 year olds face lit up when l played this on my phone, l forgot how old this is and it makes my children think of when they were toddlers.....
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.
[Pre-chorus:]
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.
[Chorus:]
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
And 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 fucking fantastic
And I am a weapon of massive consumption
And it's not my fault it's how I'm programmed to function
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
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's cool as long as I'm getting thinner
bless you
Thanks
Sarah Shaygani yeah well done😐
that is such a social criticism! does anyone rember when she criticized Beyoncé? Can you tell me how it was?
again copy n paste king
When you look at our modern world today, this song ages insanely well for 2008 standards.
It's satire on women who want to be rich and famous without even deserving it, that all they have to do is strip down for the cameras, and get into trouble on the news. These women also want to spend their credit cards away on luxury like cars and diamonds (while not even caring about what happens to those who mine diamonds just for her to spend 10,000 dollars on), despite not knowing how to even stop spending.
And Lily says that these women become surrounded by fake beauty so much, they can't tell what's real anymore ("I don't know what's right and what's real anymore, and I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore"). And she'll never know when the public will stop dismissing this stuff as normal and actually open up about it ("And when do you think it will all become clear, because I'm being taken over by the fear").
I'm very strict with what kind of pop music I accept. And this here has to be by far one of the best forgotten/underrated pop songs made. And no one really took this seriously back in 2009, that the issue of fake fame and consumerism is now double worse today than what it was back then.
Her songs are way far ahead of its time. Imagine this song in 2020.
She rather belongs to an era that finished at the end of the noughties. That song is in the tradition of '90's- early 2000's pop.
@@ipiap this song is mid to late 2000s era
@@sugar_venom Yes, to be more precise, this type of well-crafted pop flourished from the mid-nighties until the end of the noughties.

@Esneyk nebulous Brilliant social endictments of modern lives never die.
This song came out when I first started having symptoms of an anxiety disorder. Such a fucked up time and this song just reminds me of it. It’s so good and catchy and she’s talented but I just have bad memories associated with it, anyone else?
The creative concepts behind all her music videos are so underrated. She’s such a genius when it comes to creating a mystical world that reflects her music.
to anyone who hasn't figured it out already, it's satire. She's taking the piss out of superficiality, materialism and shallow celebrity culture. Plus it's so refreshing to hear someone sing in their own accent! The twangy American accent lends itself well to lyrical expression, but accents are many and varied; let's start making more music with individuality and sincerity.
+TheImmutableTruth to anyone who hasn't figured it out already: this is about the millionth song about miserliness (?) of our world. Ingenious! Really! Everybody should sing about it in his/her own accent! B+
dead on thelmmutable,your statement is totally incontrovertible . atb humble ju-ju
There are people who haven't figured that out?
Makes me smile to think that her songs give a message and are relatively home.
This song is more on point now in our current day and age than it has ever been.
big message in this song.... respect .
When she says "I look at the sun and I look in the mirror" does she mean the tabloids? Love these lyrics so much :)))))

In future more people will relate to her songs.and she will be timeless.real life struggles.thats how it is.

so many memories....
time really flies.
Her accent is amazing
I know i wish i was a Londoner!
Mark Coetzee it's actually not her real accent. She speaks far more posh in person. she invented that accent specifically because it's cool.
***** No, it is her accent i think
Are you stupid of course this is her accent when she sings and speaks.....(.but the point you're making is that she's from a posh background) So what? She's not always gonna speak like the queen of England. Plus she's not that posh nwayz.
She's still a londoner most of us speak like her. I'm from west london so I should know.

this song is so nostalgic i cant even handle
I miss lily Allen she was one of the best singers with real lyrics about real life singing from the soul. Come back lily we miss you x
still relevant 10 years later.
Of course it's still relevant - hypocrisy is always current. The irony of a rich celebrity pointing the finger at other rich celebrities was clearly lost on more people than just Lily Allen!
not just still, its even more relevant
Rlly is yh
she probably wrote this about celebrity culture in the 00's. But it is wayy more fitting in this day and age of influencer culture. Fantastic.
Listening to an interview now. She says it is about the Internet culture and false images.
"Everything's cool as long as I getting thinner" one of the BEST sentences I have heard in years!! 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
what a dark and true music vid!
00:33-00:35 "I look at the Sun and I look in the Mirror". Two British tabloids , well done.
Jewish*
What do you mean? I'm from Mexico would you care to explain me this part please?
+Nighter Leon the sun and the mirror are newspaper companies in the UK
No one buys the sun anymore because they stopped page 3
+heylily11 ¡oh! Thanks for the explanation. This song's really cool.
An incredible track, the lyrics never fail to affect me. I've thought long and hard about what it's all about and come to the conclusion that Ms. Allen is preaching against disassociation - but is anyone listening? I hope so.
This is why Marina is compared to her. Not like their music is at all similar or their presentation, but their underlying message is the same and it's freakin' awesome!
i want to give you 100000+ thumbs up cuz' that's the point! Finally a person who understood it :)
Finally someone gets it! That's why I love them both.
For a world full of Lily's and Marina's PLEASE.
Danielle Cssb Diamonds are not alright but clothes made in sweatshops are alright
Who is Marina? Is a singer too?
I look at the sun and I look in the mirror (two newspapers in the uk with bs stories and gossip)
Doble OMG I never thought of it like that before
Thank you! :O
Omg I just realised that XDD
Keep doin this thanks
holy fuck shes a genius
The female British singer's are so clever😍
Do Cat I don’t know what gender and race has anything to do with someone’s personality, but you’re right, Lily Allen is very clever.
"singers" :)
It's warming but is still haunting and puts a chill in any adults heart that has grown up in this world...
Been a fan of Lily forever and her videos still amaze me!!
love this song sooo much
she was only 23 when she made this :O I was still figuring out my life at that age
Judging by the song, I believe she still was too
@@psyhense Honestly, I believe we never end figuring out our lifes
Here I am 15 years later listening to this great song which just doesn't get old. And what a genius music video as well!!!
Had forgotten about this song. Love it.
"I'm a weapon of massive consumption" 😂 Oh lily you are witty!
Lily can challenge your religion. Yes. 😏💯👍🏼
This song is still very modern and realvent
Best song of that decade 2000-2009. Brilliant lyrically, cool bells and whistles on it.
I wanna 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're 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 onto a winner
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
And 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 fucking 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 we're onto a winner
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
And 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
And everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
And when do you think it will all become clear?
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear
Thank you! :)
Obrigado
Thanks
this woman was giving us the controversial lyrics long before these new artists and i'm living for it
15 years ago, and I had this wonderful song as an earworm when I was in Vegas for the first time, and the last time I was completely happy in my life.
oh god she's actually perfect.
She is! She's my ideal woman, don't tell my girlfriend though ;)
dazzlerby don't tell my boyfriend !
I won't ;)
-_-
Hurrrrrrrrrrly I'd like that!! ;)
