Lily Allen – Not Fair

Onze Lily Allen heeft al eerder bewezen dat ze spraakmakende nummers kan maken en daar houdt ze niet op. Dit keer Not Fair, een nummer dat niet altijd al te positief is ontvangen door critica. Het nummer is zelfs gedeeltelijk gecensureerd uitgekomen. Desalniettemin een nummer dat snel in de Britse top 10 is gekomen en gebleven.

Nut?
Stel je je maar voor dat ‘I spent ages giving head’ omgedraaid wordt tot ‘I spent ages kneading bread’. Wat het nut van het laatste is in een nummer over seksuele frustraties? We zullen het niet weten.

Songtekst Lily Allen – Not Fair

Oh, he treats me with respect,
He says he loves me all the time,
He calls me 15 times a day,
He likes to make sure that im fine,

You know I’ve never met a man,
Whose 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 your 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 your really mean,
I think your really mean,
I think your really mean.

Oh your supposed to care,
But you never make me scream,
You never make me scream,

Oh it’s not fair,
And it’s really not ok,
It’s really not ok,
It’s really not ok,

Oh your supposed to care,
But all you do is take,
Yeah, all you do is take.

I lay here in this wet patch
in the middle of the bed,
im 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 im just overreacting
maybe your the one for me.

There’s just one thing,
That’s getting in the way,
When we go up to bed your just no good,
its 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
