Him Lyrics

Would you please take me away
from this place
I cannot bear to see
the look upon your faces
And if there
is some kind of god
do you think he's pleased
When he looks down on us

I wonder what he sees
Do you think
he'd think the things we do
are a waste of time
Maybe he'd think
we are getting on just fine

Do you think he's skint
or financially secure
And come election time
I wonder who he'd vote for
Ever since he can remember people
have died in his good name
Long before that September
Long before hijacking planes

He's lost the will he can't decide
He doesn't know who's right or wrong
But there's one thing that he's sure of
this has been going on too long
Do you think he'd drive
in his car without insurance

Now is he interesting
or do you think he'd bore us
Do you think
his favourite type of human
is caucasian
Do you reckon
he's ever been done
for tax evasion
Do you think he's any good
at remembering people's names
Do you think he's ever taken
smack or cocaine
I don't imagine
he's ever been suicidal
His favourite band
is Creedence Clearwater Revival
Ever since he can remember people
have died in his good name
Long before that September
Long before hijacking planes
He's lost the will he can't decide
He doesn't know who's right or wrong
But there's one thing that he's sure of
this has been going on too long

Ever since he can remember
People have died in his good name
Long before that September
Long before hijacking planes
He's lost the will he can't decide
He doesn't know who's right or wrong
But there's one thing that he's sure of
this has been going on too long

Lily Rose Beatrice Cooper (née Allen; born 2 May 1985), known professionally as Lily Allen, is an English singer/songwriter, haling from London, United Kingdom and actress. 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.
