Alfie
Lily Allen Lyrics
Oh, deary me
My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed
I tell him he should get up 'cause it's nearly half past three
He can't be bothered 'cause he's high on THC
I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea
I can't even see you 'cause the room is so smokey
Don't understand how one can watch so much TV
My baby brother Alfie, how I wish that you could see
Oh, I only say it 'cause I care
Now, now there's no need to swear
Please don't despair my dear, Mon frere
Oh, Alfie get up it's a brand new day
I just can't sit back and watch you waste your life away
You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid
Get off your lazy arse
Alfie, please use your brain
Surely there's some walls out there that you can go and spray
I'm feeling guilty if I leading you astray
Now, how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid
When all you do is stay and play on your computer games?
Oh, I only say it 'cause I care
So please can you stop pulling my hair
Now, now there's no need to swear
Please don't despair my dear Mon frere
Oh, little brother, please refrain from doing that
I'm trying to help you out so can you stop being a twat
It's time that you and I sit down and had a little chat
Just look me in the eyes take off that stupid fitted cap
Oh, I only say it 'cause I care
So please can you stop pulling my hair
Now, now there's no need to swear
Please don't despair
Please don't despair
Mon frere

She is the daughter of Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen. Allen left school when she was 15 and concentrated on improving her performing and compositional skills. She started her musical career in 2002 by signing to London Records. In 2005, she made some of her recordings public on Myspace and the publicity resulted in airplay on BBC Radio 1 and a contract with Regal Recordings.
Her first mainstream single, "Smile", reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006. Her debut record, Alright, Still, was well received, selling over 2.6 million copies worldwide and brought Allen a nomination at the Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards and MTV Video Music Awards. She began hosting her own talk-show, Lily Allen and Friends, on BBC Three.
Her second studio album, It's Not Me, It's You, saw a genre shift, having more of an electropop feel, rather than the ska and reggae influences of the first one. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and the Australian ARIA Charts and was well received by critics, noting the singer's musical evolution and maturity. It spawned the hit singles "The Fear" and "Fuck You", popular mostly in Europe. Allen and Amy Winehouse have been credited with starting a process that led to the media-proclaimed "year of the women" in 2009 that saw five female artists making music of "experimentalism and fearlessness" nominated for the Mercury Prize.

@Callums World “Theon never truly had his own screen time that didn’t end up with him supporting another characthers story.”
Are you sure you watched? Theon-Ramsay scenes all alone are part of Theon’s story not Ramsay’s. Ramsay is a supporting character. More powerful doesn’t mean main character. Also capturing Winterfell, rescuing Yara etc. It’s all about Theon’s story. I’m not saying he’s totally main character like Dany, Jon, Tyrion, Arya but he is between main character and supporting character.
If I categorize the characters it would be like this:
1) Most important main characters: Jon, Dany, Tyrion, maybe Arya
2) Main characters: Sansa, Cersei, Jaime, Bran
3) Main-supporting: Theon (but he has significantly more own story than Brienne, Jorah, Hound, Davos and Sam), Sam, Brienne + maybe Davos, Jorah and Hound
4)Supporting: Ramsay, Tywin, Roose, Stannis etc.
5) and others.
Basically Theon is the most important character after Lannister & Stark kids + Jon Snow and Dany.

Lily Allen has to be the queen of writing songs that sound really upbeat but really dark
Neal X Gaming
LOL "really dark" -- smoking pot, whacking off, and playing video games all day is the lighter side of the male gender. The dark side of my gender rapes and kills people and starts wars.
Paul John Leadbeater
This tune reminds me of puppet on a string by sandie shaw.

It somehow gets even more obviously disturbing in an '80s Band-style cover they made for HBO's Peacemaker.
Andrew Harrison
Nah, James Blunt takes that.
Kohe Kade
This is back in the day when Lily Allen wasn't completely insufferable and annoying.
Now she's a hack
Lyndonmaman
Lily wrote a song about her brother getting a job and he went and got a role on literally the most popular show in history.
Holy shit, Lily. Can you write a song about me, too?
Shaun Ramkelawon
yeah she wrote a song telling the world what a loser her brother is - and now hes bigger than her! thats what you get for being a cunt!
Tim Parker-Chambers
Yeah, but I heard that he's such a Method Actor, that for Season Three he actually chopped his cock and balls off... 😳😳😳😳
TheFunkyGibbon
I would have probably said “arguably”, but I’m a pedantic arse
