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
He won me, game, set, and match

L8 CMMR, he's a L8 CMMR

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
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

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
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."
