To me, it just seems like a Lily Allen clone I'm afraid!

I find her lyrics quite frank, they have their own charm, so yes i agree it is lyrically good.

The melody is irritatingly catchy and I like the video for this song..
I just wish Kate Nash wasn't such a Mockney faker

 

[Poco Innocente]

lyrically amazing? we listening to the same thing? Yes they are ok...but nothing more than that.

Thursday night, every thing's fine, except you've got that look in your eye
when I'm tellin' a story and you find it boring,
you're thinking of something to say.
You'll go along with it then drop it and humiliate me in front of our friends.

Then I'll use that voice that you find annoyin' and say something like
"yeah, intelligent input, darlin', why don't you just have another beer then?"

Then you'll call me a bitch
and everyone we're with will be embarrassed,
and I wont give a shit.

My finger tips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation,
and I know that I should let go,
but I can't.
And every time we fight I know it's not right,
every time that you're upset and I smile.
I know I should forget, but I can't.

You said I must eat so many lemons
'cause i am so bitter.
I said
"I'd rather be with your friends mate 'cause they are much fitter."

Yes, it was childish and you got aggressive,
and I must admit that I was a bit scared,
but it gives me thrills to wind you up.

My finger tips are holding on to the cracks in our foundation,
and I know that I should let go,
but I can't.
And every time we fight I know it's not right,
every time that you're upset and I smile.
I know I should forget, but I can't.

Your face is pasty 'cause you've gone and got so wasted, what a surprise.
Don't want to look at your face 'cause it's makin' me sick.
You've gone and got sick on my trainers,
I only got these yesterday.
Oh, my gosh, I cannot be bothered with this.

Well, I'll leave you there 'till the mornin',
and I purposely wont turn the heating on
and dear God, I hope I'm not stuck with this one.

My finger tips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation,
and I know that I should let go,
but I can't.
And every time we fight I know it's not right,
every time that you're upset and I smile.
I know I should forget, but I can't.

And every time we fight I know it's not right,
every time that you're upset and I smile.
I know I should forget, but I can't.

"You said I must eat so many lemons
'cause i am so bitter.
I said
"I'd rather be with your friends mate 'cause they are much fitter."

One of the worst lyrics ever

 

[Kitty3780]

I heard this song when it first started getting airplay on 6music and I thought it was good, so when I saw there was going to be a short programme on Channel 4 about her I made the effort to watch. Oh dear. While this song might be reasonably well written, both lyrically and musically, everything else was such utter drivel that I felt an overwhelming urge to rip my own ears off.

There is a certain charm in this current spate of "street" music, started by The Streets and Lily Allen (who is a far more talented writer than Kate Nash - well her writing team are better anyway, as I doubt she writes it all herself), but I do find the poor pronounciation quite jarring at times. Besides, Goldie Looking Chain own this genre, no one else can compete.

Oh bring back the days of so called dreary Indie where we used to sing about the grime of every day life but still fit in references to classic literature.

Bring back Pulp - Jarvis, all is forgiven!

Edit: I must admit, I do really like the video for the song though. Very well directed.

One of the worst lyrics ever

True, one of the worst ever lyrics. It's a pretty hideous song.
She sounds to me like Frank Spencer's wife 'Betty'!

bit like a un-appealing lily allen (even lily allen has a good sound going for a pop hyped up band). poor songs but pretty eyes im sure you all agree.
