"The Morning Hour": Lily Allen, The Fear

I'm on my own for a couple of days... tough, it means I've to wake up alone in bed and I really don't like it- I actually think it sucks!

The words Lily Allen came out just a few seconds after the alarm went off, well before the song, and well within the usual 5 minutes of rambling by the dj- I wasn't happy about that. I find her pretentious, a bit too full of herself and I'm not sure she deserves all the fuss around her (a clothes line, a tv program...).

"The song" he says "is called The Fear... bla bla bla", I dind't have great expectations.

But, hands down, the song is great! the lyrics are genial for the way they mock the fashion/celebrity establishment, though she's totally part of it.

I'll say no more:

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 f***loads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them
...
And I am a weapon of massive consumption
and its not my fault it’s how I’m program to function
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
...
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 is cool as long as I’m getting thinner
