Miss Allen
S Lily Allen ve sluchátkách na mě skáče taková veselá a pozitivní náladička. V kombinaci se slunečným počasím... ideální relax, který mi vyluzuje úsměv na tváři :-). Naposledy jsem si takový dopřála minulou sobotu, kdy šel mužíček s Lupitou za babičkou na návštěvu do nemocnice a já tam na ně asi hodinku čekala a jezdila s kočárem po venku. A ne jen tak ledajakém. Po jedné z nejdražších rezidenčních čtvrtí ve městě. Takže mezi krásnýma vilkama v zahradách, no super. Teda spíš trochu k vzteku, ale co už. Nasadila jsem sluchátka, píchla je do telefonu a vybrala její debutové album "Alright, Still" z roku 2006. Musím říct, že Lily není bůhvíjaká zpěvačka. Spíš naopak, ten její hlásek mi přijde většinou dost iritující, ale všechno to vyvažují texty, který se mi moc líbí. A ještě víc angličtina, kterou jsou zpívané! Aaaaaach! [[jak by řekla Cestuš ;-)... teda pokud se to nevztahuje výhradně na chlapy... ale angličtina by mi mohla taky projít, no ne? :-D]] Ty její "glottal stops", ty prostě miluju :-)

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 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 sitting 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 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
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 jewelery and wallet
You might laugh you might frown
walking round London town
[Chorus]
Life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life
[Chorus x2]
A ještě jednou totéž, ale v akustické verzi... roztomilé :-)

When you first left me I was wanting more
But you were fucking that girl next door, what cha do that for (what cha do that for)
When you first left me I didn't know what to say
I never been on my own that way, just sat by myself all day
[Chorus]
I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
I found a 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 my 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
[Chorus]
A pro příznivce Sims (je to počítačová hra, že? ;-) ještě v jedné úpravě.
No a nakonec ještě desetiminutové interview... ale když mně se to fakt tak hezky poslouchá :-D
