Everything's Just Wonderful
Lily Allen Lyrics
Do you think everything
Everyone is goin' mental?
It seems to me, it's spiraling
Out of control and it's inevitable
Well, don't you think
This time is yours
This time is mine?
It's temperamental
We're on all fours
Crawling on your knees
Someone help us please
Oh Jesus Christ almighty
Do I feel alright?
No, not slightly
I wanna get a flat
And no I can't afford it
It's just those bureaucrats
That won't give me a mortgage
It's very funny 'cause
I got your fucking money
And I'm never gonna get it
Just 'cause of my bad credit
Oh well, I guess I mustn't grumble
I suppose it's just the way
The cookie crumbles
Oh yes, I'm fine
Everything's just wonderful
I'm having the time of my life
Well, do you want
Something else
Something newer
Than what we got here?
Well, do you feel
It's all the same
Some sick game
It's so insincere?
I wish I could
Change the ways
Of the world
Make it a nice place
Until that day
I guess we stay
Doin' what we do, screwin' who we screw
Why can't I sleep at night?
Gonna say it's gonna be alright
I wanna be able to
Eat spaghetti bolognese
And not feel bad about it
For days and days and days
All the magazines
They talk about weight loss
If I buy those jeans
I can look like Kate Moss
I know it's not the life that I chose
But I guess that's just
The way that things go
Oh yes, I'm fine
Everything's just wonderful
I'm having the time of my life
Oh yes, I'm fine
Everything's just wonderful
I'm having the time of my life
Oh Jesus Christ almighty
Do I feel alright?
No, not slightly
I wanna get a flat
And no I can't afford it
It's just those bureaucrats
That won't give me a mortgage
It's very funny 'cause
I got your fucking money
And I'm never gonna get it
Just 'cause of my bad credit
Oh well, I guess I mustn't grumble
I suppose it's just the way
The cookie crumbles
But I guess that's just
The way that things go
I suppose it's just the way
The cookie crumbles
But I guess that's just
The way that things go
But I guess that's just
The way that things go

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.
