復仇女王蜂Lily Allen

既然提到 Kate Nash，一定要談談 Lily Allen。她們兩個都是二十歲出頭的小女生，出道的時間相近，又是濃濃英國口音唱腔。雖然她倆的曲風和外型完全不同，但常被相提並論。Lily Allen 被稱為 The Queen of MySpace，而單曲 Smile 是先在 iTunes 上開賣，比實體的CD還早上市。

這首歌以小女孩的樂觀面對花心的劈腿男友，並闡明惡有惡報的天真道理。這首和 Kate Nash 的那首最相似的地方就是：她們都遇上了壞男人…

當然這裡的也是不乾淨版，乾淨版只不過把 F***ing 改成了 Doing…



Smile － Lily Allen

When you first left me I was wanting more
But you were f*cking that girl next door, what ja do that for?
When you first left me I didn't know what to say
I never been on my own that way, just sat by myself all day

I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
I found a light in the tunnel at the end
Now you're calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
And it's only because you're feeling alone

At first, when I see you cry,
it makes me smile, it makes me smile.
At worst, I feel bad for a while,
But then I just smile,
I go ahead and smile.

Whenever you see me you say that you want me back
And I tell you it don't mean jack, no it don't mean jack
I couldn't stop laughing, no I just could help myself
See you messed up my mental health, I was quite unwell

I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
I found a light in the tunnel at the end
An' now you're calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
An' it's only because you're feeling alone

At first when I see you cry,
It makes me smile, it makes me smile
At worst I feel bad for a while,
But then I just smile, I go ahead and smile

別看她年幼可欺，她的現場功力也是很驚人的。前面12秒都是主持人在說話，跳過即可聽到美聲。


整首歌最得人心的還是這段：

(0:53)
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

(not in Live version)
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
