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 O.K.
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
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 jewelery and wallet

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

Life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life
Life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life, 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

But if you look twice
You can see it's all lies

Spoilt little public schoolgirl, daughter of a famous english actor (who is one of these small people with attitude syndrome types) with ties to the music business who pretends she is from the street with her lyrics about crackwhores etc. Perlease !!

Please R.P don't play this crap again, there is nothing genuine or talented about this at all.

Nil points.

I can understand the polarised responses to this.

IIRC Lily Allen recorded a milder version of this with far more innocent lyrics which was released to the general public, and did very well in the pop charts.

You wouldn't catch me dissing Lily - her dad's a serious hard nut!

She is just too adorable not to like, but she'd probably just get drunk and kick me. So this song is kinda like her, sounds cutesy, but really is kinda dark...

I lived in London for 6 years and I still think this is awful, childish and irritating drivel with terrible forced ryhmes.  Ok, I can divide it.  It's the music that is irritating and the lyrics that are just awful, childish drivel.

Could she sound any more adorable? Almost disgustingly so...
and yet, the very apparent english accent gives it an edge.

Posted 16 years ago by bobrk    [ Reply ]
Fascinating the polarized response to this. Yes, it's pop, but the great barbed lyrics make this very clever pop. It's also pretty unpretentious, unlike all the Britney-alikes and their kin. For us Brits it's in a direct line from the deliciously observed music that Ian Dury used to produce before he sadly left us. If you don't get it, I would have to question whether maybe it's because you're taking things a bit too seriously. Or maybe you just don't get the British sideways look at life.

They are sampled, from "Reggae Merengue", written by Tommy McCook.

I imagine this song isn't for everyone on RP (as evidenced by the rating of around 6), but I like it. Something about BritPop is so much better than the American pop out there. I'd much rather listen to Lily Allen than Britney Spears or someone like that. There's some humor in Lily's lyrics that makes it more enjoyable to me.

What about the sax parts, Dave? I've seen this played live on the YouTube, so I think they're just making it sound sampled. There's lots more of the same kind of horn stuff on the rest of the album.

Lovely, fluffy, harmless pop with a touch of depth to it. No need to look deeper folks. Don't think this piece is meant to be more.

This is my vote for most stupid comment on RP, ever. Why do people who know absolutely nothing about a topic feel that they should inflict their ignorance on everyone else? I don't mind people sharing different opinions, but this demonstration of know-nothingness just grates. /rant mode off

The whole CD is pretty much like this, really odd though because (like this song) so poppy and upbeat with the rhythms, but if you actually hear the words she's saying/singing, she's just ripping on people left and right...sort of..and dare I use the word, 'ironic'

Ths used to follow Skokian by Louis Armstrong. Now it appears it is following Savoy Blues. Both Satchmo tunes were preceded by Madeleine Peyroux. C'mon, get that "random" function going better, or plan the sets better?

Who cares, the song is fantastic! It's OK for music to be fun. I heard Lily Allen here first and was inspired to look her up. Overall, her stuff is not for me. I almost suggested it to my 13 year old neighbor, but upon a closer look at the lyrics, I decided it wasn't appropriate coming from an adult. Pretty soon she'll find it on her own.

"Filth" is a standard term for cops in London, particularly East London, hence her reference to having her driving licence taken away by The Filth.

Now she can be the star of the party with all her shallow little friends.

As someone who lived in the East End of Lahndahn Tahn for a couple of years and who absolutely loathes the city, I love the lyrics on this and its delicious irony, but it did get rather more airplay over here than is healthy and started to grate on me. Note that this is the 'x-rated' version of the song - a more 'vanilla' effort was what was usually played on Brit radio stations.

The cheery tune and the negative cockney lyrics have had me perplexed.
Actually, I believe that's (click here) Mockney. And yeah, I agree, the cynicism and wit is great stuff :)

hey, they're even giving away a free Lily Allen download on iTunes store front page right now, the 'Smile' song I think...

We could definitely use some more Lilly Allen. Come on Bill, what else can you pull out of your hat.

It may not be the most demanding or out of this world, or even that musically inclined songs. But man does it make you cheer up. :)

Heard it once, and it semi-infected my brain. Just heard it again, and now IT WON'T LEAVE! Thanks... I think.

living in london I heard a lot about this latest pop artist claiming not to be pop. I was doing well to avoid coming into contact with her music. Damn, radio paradise caught me unawares!
