GET ME 02:36 video
I like my life It's going fine Oh that’s so nice Take my advice You gotta gotta gotta Get me out of here Just hold that smile We’re not on trial That way’s the door When I count to four You gotta gotta gotta Get me out of here The truth it hurts So you go first We’re right on track No going back You gotta gotta gotta Gotta gotta gotta gotta Get me out of here

You're no ally You're still the bad guy You were born to help the cause And so you wait for your applause Do you really think they're so naive To trust you practise what you preach? Think you've made amends? Truly believe you're born again? You're no ally You're still the bad guy So comfortable to bear your soul When all you want is full control You've read all the literature But what you've learned, I'm still not sure Think you've made amends? Truly believe you're born again? You're no ally You're still the bad guy You're confident they'll never know Though everyone's comparing notes Think you wanna stick around? Well, soon we're gonna take you down Think you've made amends? Truly believe you're born again? You're no ally You're still the bad guy

Perfectionism kills art I hope that I touch your heart If I criticise number one It spoils all the fun Once a month, everyone has a mad half hour When I came out of the womb, I had to scream "Girl Power!" Once a month, once a month, once a month These days I only wear white I’m trying to keep it light But I don’t forget my roots When I pull on my thigh-high boots. Once a month, everyone has a mad half hour When I came out of the womb, I had to scream "Girl Power!" Once a month, once a month, once a month I know that I changed my name But in my heart I’m still the same And I miss the other four But I had to look for something more Once a month, everyone has a mad half hour When I came out of the womb, I had to scream "Girl Power!" Once a month, once a month, once a month It’s like you always say A pat on the back is six inches away From a kick up the ass Once a month, everyone has a mad half hour When I came out of the womb, I had to scream "Girl Power!" Once a month, once a month, once a month

I wanna see you with your head in your hands I wanna make you wish you'd made other plans I'm trying to make the best of our bad romance But I keep thinking this is your last chance There is this one thing that keeps playing on my mind You never say you’re sorry, but I say it all the time Sometimes it's easy to keep making amends Sometimes I wish that we could still just be friends I never wanted you to jump to my defence But now it seems I’ve caused you some great offence There is this one thing that keeps playing on my mind You never say you’re sorry, but I say it all the time I wanna tell you that I meant what I said I wanna make you feel the same kind of dread There is no coming back from here This is the end of us I fear There is this one thing that keeps playing on my mind You never say you’re sorry, but I say it all the time

We only had one date It wasn’t really that great It’s been several months Why you tryna get in touch? Crawl out of the woodwork Call out of the blue Crawl out of the woodwork And I don’t want to talk to you “Hey, how you doing?” This isn’t worth pursuing I think I’d rather die Than take a moment to reply Crawl out of the woodwork Call out of the blue Crawl out of the woodwork And I don’t want to talk to you You sent a frog emoji (🐸) What was it meant to show me? This is getting boring Do you blame me for ignoring Crawl out of the woodwork Call out of the blue Crawl out of the woodwork And I don’t want to talk to you

BOYFRIEND 02:58
Booked a table for two I was only expecting you I don’t mean to be rude It’s not that I dislike the dude Wanted you to come alone To leave the ball and chain at home It’s not such a big deal Tell me how you really feel They say three's a crowd Do I have to say it out loud? Yeah you got a boyfriend But does he have to Yeah you got a boyfriend But does he have to join? I'm so glad you're happy But don't swap every "I" for "we" You're complete as you are You don't need the registrar They say three's a crowd Do I have to say it out loud? Yeah you got a boyfriend But does he have to Yeah you got a boyfriend But does he have to join? Feels like so much has changed Priorities are rearranged I know we can't stay the same But I think that is such a shame They say three's a crowd Do I have to say it out loud? Yeah you got a boyfriend But does he have to Yeah you got a boyfriend But does he have to join?

I wish it was spring, Cheryl It’s so dark and cold I'm full of this mild peril I wanna be bold Do you know what I mean, Cheryl? It all feels so flat My world has become sterile Do you feel like that? Everyone else has a plan Get yourself a kid and a man And maybe that’s enough for you It’s a bleak week And this month is getting duller I’m waiting for the wave Because red is the bluest colour I feel so tired, Cheryl I just wanna rest I'm stuck on the same level Keep failing the test Don't look at me, Cheryl I'm damned if I know Just one more and I swear I'll Pack up and go Everyone else has a plan He eats out of the palm of your hand And maybe that's enough for you It’s a bleak week And this month is getting duller I’m waiting for the wave Because red is the bluest colour Your head has been held so high Now you’re looking down Don’t let it stop you swimming I won’t let you drown Everyone else has a plan Comfort's no substitute for romance I know it’s not enough for you It’s a bleak week And this month is getting duller I’m waiting for the wave Because red is the bluest colour

No one cares about your Instagram It’s all fake. Your life’s a sham No one needs to know you exercise Sit it out and eat some fries I know it's not big or clever But I’m gonna feel this way forever Cause I’ve earned my right to be petty We get it – you’re a wife (wow) But shut up about your life now Give it a rest with the meal plans Save that shit for the real fans I know I should pretend to love it But I’m never gonna rise above it Cause I’ve earned my right to be petty I’m so sick of the way you brag Don’t you know it’s such a drag? It’s true that I’ve just turned thirty And I shouldn’t let this dumb shit hurt me But I’ve earned my right to be petty

MR BIG 02:41 video
Do you ever worry that you might be a Carrie? You’ve lost your Mr Big and now you’ll never marry Charlotte says you only get two great loves So what you gonna do about it? Don’t laugh at me but maybe we can be each other’s soulmates We can dress up nice and take each other out on lots of hot dates A vibrator doesn’t call you up and wish you happy birthday But who likes phone calls anyway? Don’t you realise Chasing crappy guys Won’t make you feel so big Cause they’re full of lies Come around to my place We can have some space cakes Tell your date you’re busy for the next few days Charlotte says you only get two great loves So what you gonna do about it? Don’t laugh at me but maybe we can be each other’s soulmates We can dress up nice and take each other out on lots of hot dates A vibrator doesn’t call you up and wish you happy birthday But who likes phone calls anyway? He’s not your Mr Big Charlotte says you only get two great loves So what you gonna do about it?

I feel mad, but it’s gotta have context I feel sad, and I hope that it’s you next I like your cat but you’re kinda a pussy I read your blog and your poems are wussy Don’t get me started Cause I’ll go on forever Not broken hearted And you’re not that clever I threw your stupid postcard in the trash I helped you carry wood back to your place You helped me realise I hate your face You left me all alone in the dark I walked home via Morrisons car park Don’t get me started Cause I’ll go on forever Not broken hearted And you’re not that clever I threw your stupid postcard in the trash In the trash Don’t get me started Cause I’ll go on forever Not broken hearted And you’re not that clever I threw your stupid postcard in the trash
