I first heard Lily Allen’s song Smile probably when I was still in college (I am now a mother of two). But what most interest me is her LDN music video. I love the way she walks cheerfully in her red gown down to the slumber and grotesque road, with that cheerful smile and wishful eyes. And I love how they put sneakers on her. I kinda compare it with Selena Gomez ‘Who Says’. Hehehe..I know you would probably think I am out of the line 
But they were both featured in a sort of similar way: strolling down the street with dresses. If Selena goes barefoot, Lily wears sneakers, which was cooler. Oh, and Selena wears black. Both red and black are my favorite colors.
I am usually not a fan of flat-fact lyrics like Allen does in her songs. I am more the type of positive-cheerful-dreamy kind of music. And my favorite was animated movies sound tracts ^__^ But Allen’s voice, her face line, her eyes….when I saw he, I sort had this feeling of wanna be like her. Well, Idolization was so not me. What I mean be like her, is be like her songs. Like her lyrics. Her British-tongue. Bittersweet.
Cause the filth took away my license
It doesn’t get me down and I feel OK
Cause the sights that I’m seeing are priceless
Everything seems to look as it should
But I wonder what goes on behind doors
A fella looking dapper, but he’s sitting with a slapper
Then I see it’s a pimp and his crack whore
You might laugh you might frown
Walkin’ round London town
[Chorus]
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
There was a little old lady, who was walking down the road
She was struggling with bags from Tesco
There were people from the city having lunch in the park
I believe that it’s called al fresco
Then a kid came along to offer a hand
But before she had time to accept it
hits her over the head, doesn’t care if she’s dead
Cause he’s got all her jewelery and wallet
You might laugh you might frown
walking round London town
[Chorus]
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
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
[Chorus x2]
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
[x2]
When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
You can see it’s all lies
