BTEC Lily Allen Lyrics by Josie Proto

Pub Songs, Vol 1

2020

[Verse 1]
I been making a list of words that hurt
'Cause it reminds me of what they're worth
I can always delete them, I can always ignore
'Cause they're just words, they can't hurt me
It's not what they're for
[Pre-Chorus]
But I heard that you've been writing some more
And I'm not don't really know what for
And apparently they're supposed to hurt me way down deep inside
But they don't
Well at least you tried
[Chorus]
So don't you call me a BTEC Lily Allen
Say I've got no Goddamn talent
That my songs should only be played in the pub
And that my biggest fan is my mum
Well I quite like Lily Allen
And I don't believe in God-given talent
The pub is the best place that I'll ever play
And my mum's support is what I need anyway
[Refrain]
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
[Verse 2]
And those aren't even the worst of it
Apparently I've got where I've got because I've got tits
And someone once exclaimed while we were writing a song
"Oh God, this is so basic, Jesus, Lord, where did I go wrong?"
[Pre-Chorus]
But I heard that you've been writing some more
And I'm not don't really know what for
And apparently they're supposed to hurt me way down deep inside
But they don't
Well at least you tried
[Chorus]
So don't you call me a BTEC Lily Allen
Say I've got no Goddamn talent
That my songs should only be played in the pub
And that my biggest fan is my mum
Well I quite like Lily Allen
And I don't believe in God-given talent
And I've worked really hard to be where I am
And you're missing out if your mum ain't your biggest fan
[Refrain]
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
[Bridge]
I'm not very creative
My vibe is over done
The look just isn't working
Stop talking about the pub
Your pitching isn't perfect
Your glasses are cliche
Good luck on your project
I'm sure they'll be a place for you one day
[Verse 3]
Well I don't give a shit
And you're bloody full of it
And I will sing the way I want
And I'll write songs that will be hits
And I love my local pub
And Lily Allen is pretty great
So your words mean nothing to me
And if I fall again I will
Get back on the stage
And I will sing my favourite song
BTEC Lily Allen
And I'll prove all these bastards wrong
