Air Balloon Lyrics


Somebody remind me where I am
Miami or Timbuktu?
Did I ever tell you my uncle's monkey ran away from the zoo?
Would you tell me what this all means?
What happens if I go through that door?
'Cause I'm looking up at the ceiling, but it's turning into the floor

When I'm bored, I, kinda drift away,
I'm not sure, quite, why we work all day
I've been thinking, and I've got this plan

Let's go, right now

Come meet me in the sky I'll be waiting for you
And we can't hear what they say
Up in my Air Balloon, air balloon, air balloon (ha)
Sing, sing along, along any song you want to
Now we're so high, it can't rain
Up in my air balloon, air balloon, air balloon (ha)

I don't like dropping names but Kurt Cobain is all in my face
How the hell am I gonna tell him Elvis already took first base?
In and out of the blue this cruise is losing altitude, all we need
Is a little more elevation, take me back to where I can breathe

When I'm bored, I, kinda drift away
I'm not sure, quite, why we work all day
I've been thinking, and I've got this plan

Let's go, right now

Come meet me in the sky I'll be waiting for you
And we can't hear what they say
Up in my air balloon, air balloon, air balloon
Sing, sing along, along any song you want to
Now we're so high, it can't rain
Up in my air balloon, air balloon, air balloon (ha)

Shake it, sha-shake it, shake it now
Gimme, gi-gimme, gimme some
Sailing sa-sailing through the clouds
Trippin' trip trip it now

Shake it, sha-shake it, shake it now
Gimme, gi-gimme, gimme some
Sailing sa-sailing through the clouds
Trippin' trip trip it now

Come meet me in the sky I'll be waiting for you
And we can't hear what they say
Up in my air balloon, air balloon, air balloon
Sing, sing along along any song you want to
Now we're so high it can't rain
Up in my air balloon, air balloon, air balloon (ha)

Come meet me in this
Up in my air balloon, air balloon, air balloon (ha)
Come meet me in this
Up in my air balloon, air balloon, air balloon (ha)

Air Balloon
  • This tongue-in-cheek bubblegum pop tune finds Allen singing about escaping reality over a toy piano arrangement:

    "I'm not sure quite why we work all day
    I've been thinking and I've got this plan
    Let's go, right now
    Come meet me in the sky I'll be waiting for you."

    Allen penned the tune with Johann Shellback. The Swedish hitmaker's other writing credits include Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" and Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble."
  • Speaking to Capital FM about the song, Allen said: "I suppose it's about escapism really, and daydreaming in a lot of ways. My husband is constantly infuriated with me, because he'll be talking to me when we're sitting down having dinner or something, and I'm looking at him, but I'm totally not paying any attention at all."
  • The video was shot in Cape Town and directed by That Go (Noel Paul and Stefan Moore). Allen was criticized by some religious groups for the end part where she is seen dodging a floating crucified Jesus on outer space and by animals rights organisation PETA for the use of exotic animals.

    Allen commented to chat show host Graham Norton: "I signed up for it as it sounded like fun and then I am there with a cheetah thinking, 'what am I doing?'

    "I had a steak wiped on my face," she added, "so that it would lick me but I had been warned not to eat steak the night before in case I burped and he might have eaten me!"
  • The Sheezus title references Kanye West's 2013 album Yeezus. "It's an homage, not a piss take," tweeted Allen.

    L8 CMMR Lyrics


    Good lover, good lover
    Feels good like a long whole summer
    L8 CMMR, he's a L8 CMMR
    My mind is a bad mothafucker
    He can bring it, bring it all day long
    All over my lemon wong
    Nobody will get to see
    'Cause he's gonna spend his life with me

    You can't have him
    No way he's taken, ladies, I don't mean his babies
    Look at my ring
    He's going nowhere 'til this fat lady sings

    And when I see his face
    I feel like I could win the race
    And when he calls, when he calls my name
    I know we're in the long game
    Why would I leave him for?
    I couldn't ask for any more
    I wouldn't send, I wouldn't send him back
    He won me, game, set, and match

    L8 CMMR, he's a L8 CMMR

    My lover, my lover
    Shoots and scores like he's Maradona
    Undercover, under the covers
    My mind is a bad motherfucker
    Anybody, anyone could see
    I'd have caught him eventually
    Me and him have a thing that's rare
    All the girls can look elsewhere

    You can't have him
    No way he's taken, ladies, I don't mean his babies
    Look at my ring
    He's going nowhere 'til this fat lady sings

    And when I see his face
    I feel like I could win the race
    And when he calls, when he calls my name
    I know we're in the long game
    Why would I leave him for?
    I couldn't ask for any more
    I wouldn't send, I wouldn't send him back
    He won me, game, set, and match

    You can look, girl, but you can't touch
    Don't know why I love you so much
    Can't put this thing into words
    My love for him's absurd

    You can look, girl, but you can't touch
    Don't know why I love you so much
    Can't put this thing into words
    My love for him's absurd

    And when I see his face
    I feel like I could win the race
    And when he calls, when he calls my name
    I know we're in the long game
    Why would I leave him for?
    I couldn't ask for any more
    I wouldn't send, I wouldn't send him back
    He won me, game, set, and match

    And when I see his face
    I feel like I could win the race
    And when he calls, when he calls my name
    I know we're in the long game
    Why would I leave him for?
    I couldn't ask for any more
    I wouldn't send, I wouldn't send him back

    L8 CMMR
  • This song of devotion about her man finds Allen warning other women: "Look at my ring. You can't have him." The gleeful, giddy track featured in series 3 of The HBO series Girls.
  • Allen told Rolling Stone that placing the song in the show made perfect sense to her. "I think the show is brilliant, so it was more or less a no brainer for me," she said. "Greg Kurstin, who produced and co-wrote this track with me, played a few of the new tracks for a friend of his who works on the show. Apparently [music supervisor Manish Raval] loved the songs, and later came back to Greg asking if he could include one of the tracks in an episode."
  • The song was inspired by Lily Allen's husband Sam Cooper's performance in bed. The singer laughed to The Sun: "He was embarrassed, but I think people know me for being candid about everything. So I can't just suddenly get married and not talk about those things any more, because I think my fans would be like, 'Er, why doesn't she talk about sex?'"

    "Sam was there when I was recording that track as I did it in the house," Allen continued. "He kept walking in saying, 'This is gross.' I said sorry but he knew what he was getting into when he got with me."

    Take My Place Lyrics


    As I lay down on the bed
    Try'na come to terms with what has just been said
    I don't know where I should look or what to say
    Is this happening to us today?

    If I could then I would scream
    I'd wipe the tears off of my face
    Wake me up if it's a dream
    This is more than I can take
    I'd give everything I own
    If someone else could Take My Place
    Will someone else please take my place?

    How can life be so unfair?
    I can't breathe, in fact I'm choking on the air
    It's all over, I can see it in on your eyes
    Pull my hand down, heavily I sigh

    If I could then I would scream
    I'd wipe the tears off of my face
    Wake me up if it's a dream
    This is more than I can take
    I'd give everything I own
    If someone else could take my place
    Will someone else please take my place?

    If I could then I would scream
    I'd wipe the tears off of my face
    Wake me up if it's a dream
    This is more than I can take
    I'd give everything I own
    If someone else could take my place
    Will someone else please take my place?

    Silver Spoon Lyrics


    So I went to posh school
    Why would I deny it?
    Silver Spoon at the ready
    So don't even try it
    Yeah the house I grew up in it was Georgian
    Ten bedrooms, beautiful proportions
    Can't say that life isn't easy
    Double negative, can't nothing please me?
    Only make it here
    'Cause of my daddy
    Fucking your tea bags
    Yo, where's my tea caddy?

    (This life, that life)
    Life isn't fine but we all can try
    (Not fair, it's not right)
    Doing my thing I'm just
    Keeping my head down and

    Do we have to
    Keep talking about
    Where you think it is I'm from?
    I'ma make you see
    You don't know me
    You don't know me
    No things never change
    No talent on me
    I don't believe
    I'm still here
    Still telling you that you're wrong
    Are you losing sleep
    You don't know me
    You don't know me
    No things never change
    No talent on me, boy

    So I got a trust fund, so what am I doing?
    Buying property, can't be bothered with the viewings
    I'm getting hungry, could you fetch my butler?
    Step back I couldn't be any humbler
    Sucked dick, got signed to a major
    I'll do anything just to entertain you
    I'm from western lovin', and when it's over
    I'm going straight to heaven in a Range Rover

    (This life, that life)
    Life isn't fine but we all can try
    (Not fair, it's not right)
    Doing my thing I'm just
    Keeping my head down and

    Do we have to
    Keep talking about
    Where you think it is I'm from?
    I'ma make you see
    You don't know me
    You don't know me
    No things never change
    No talent on me
    I don't believe
    I'm still here
    Still telling you that you're wrong
    Are you losing sleep
    You don't know me
    You don't know me
    No things never change
    No talent on me, boy

    Round and round again (Oh, oh)
    Please could you repeat the question?
    Driving round the bend (Oh, oh)
    I've heard it all before, and then some
    Round and round again (Oh, oh)
    Please could you repeat the question?

    Doing my thing I'm just
    Keeping my head down and

    Do we have to
    Keep talking about
    Where you think it is I'm from?
    I'ma make you see
    You don't know me
    You don't know me

    I'm still here
    Still telling you that you're wrong
    Are you losing sleep
    You don't know me
    You don't know me
    No things never change
    No talent on me, boy

    And I'ma make you see
    You don't know me
    You don't know me
    No things never change
    No talent on me, boy

    But I'm losing sleep
    You don't know me
    You don't know me
    No things never change
    No talent on me, boy

    And I'ma make you see
    You don't know me

    No things never change
    No talent on me, boy

    Silver Spoon
  • Allen sings here about the myth that, as the daughter of actor/comedian Keith Allen, she had a privileged upbringing. "Oh gosh, it sounds really boring," she said to Q magazine, "but the idea that I've been driving around in stretch limousines my whole life because my dad's an actor couldn't be further from the truth. My dad's got eight kids, and I think his highest-paid gig was for a Listerine advert – divide that by eight and that's not really going that far."
  • As well as having supposedly rich parents, Allen takes on several other misconceptions in the song such as she slept with executives in order to get signed. "People are just so judgmental and convinced they know exactly who I am," she told Rolling Stone. "They come to their own conclusions and their mind won't be changed. That's the world we live in. I always kind of try to look at people and see the best in them and give them a chance."

    "But people that are probably less fortunate look at me and think, 'Well, she's got everything. She's had everything. It's been handed to her on a silver plate," Allen added. "It's just not true. I've been through some really, really awful things that other people haven't been through. We're all human beings and life is not f---ing fair."
  • The song title comes from the phrase: 'Born with a silver spoon in one's mouth.' The term refers to somebody who's born into a well-to-do family environment; the reference being to the gift of a silver spoon by the godparents. The lucky child does not need to wait for the gift as he or she inherits it at birth.
  • The song was previously titled "Some People."

    Life For Me Lyrics


    When the day's over and I have a second to myself
    I lie on the sofa watching TV
    Get on the computer and start checking up on everyone else
    On everyone else

    Looking at all the pictures
    Up to all sorts of mischief
    Some of them are ridiculous
    Everything's there to see

    Everyone looks so wasted
    Totally off their faces
    I feel so isolated
    Everyone there but me

    Why does it feel like I'm missing something?
    "Been there and done that" was good for nothing
    Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
    This is the Life For Me (This is the life for me, yeah)

    Tell me I'm normal for feeling like this
    It's a bit early for a midlife crisis
    Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
    This is the life for me (This is the life for me, yeah)

    I'm not complaining but last night I hardly slept at all
    But actually yes I am complaining
    No energy left in me, the baby might have taken it all
    'Cause I've hit the wall

    Please don't think that I'm being rude
    Honey I'm just not in the mood
    I'm head to toe in baby food
    So please will you give it a rest

    It's not that I don't love you
    And it's not that I don't want to
    Honestly baby to tell you the truth
    I feel like a bit of a mess

    Why does it feel like I'm missing something?
    "Been there and done that" was good for nothing
    Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
    This is the life for me (This is the life for me, yeah)

    Tell me I'm normal for feeling like this
    It's a bit early for a midlife crisis
    Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
    This is the life for me (This is the life for me, yeah)

    I could never get bored of it
    And most of the time I love this
    But sometimes I get nostalgic
    When actually I'm complete

    Why does it feel like I'm missing something?
    "Been there and done that" was good for nothing
    Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
    This is the life for me (This is the life for me, yeah)

    Tell me I'm normal for feeling like this
    It's a bit early for a midlife crisis
    Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
    This is the life for me (This is the life for me, yeah)

    Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
    This is the life for me (this is the life for me, yeah)

    Life For Me
  • Allen's two daughters, Ethel and Marnie, are the driving force behind this song about a young mother keeping up with the news of her old party crew and wondering if she's missing out. The singer told Q magazine: "I was reading the papers and seeing my friends and peers doing what I had done before and feeling like, 'Have I made the right choice?' And I had made the right choice by the way, I love my children. They're the best things that have ever happened to me and I would trade all this in a second if I thought it was going to impact negatively on them."
