Straight To Hell
Lily Allen · Other Songs - Lily Allen
How's about a British jig and reel?
Speaking king's English in quotation
As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust
Water froze in the generation
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise
There ain't no need for ya
There ain't no need for ya
Go straight to hell, boys
Go straight to hell, boys
You wanna join in a chorus of the Amerasian blues?
When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh city
Kiddie say papa, papa, papa, papa
Papa san, take me home
See me got photo, photo
Photograph of you
And mama, mama, mama san of you
And mama, mama, mama san
Let me tell me 'bout your blood bamboo kid
It ain't Coca Cola, it's rice
Go straight to hell, boy
Go straight to hell, boy
Go straight to hell, boy
Go straight to hell, boy
Oh papa san, please, take me home
Oh papa-san, everybody, they wanna go home
So mama san says
Mama san says
So mama san says
So mama san says
You wanna play mind crazed banjo
On the druggy drag ragtime USA
In Parkland International
Ah, junkiedom USA
Where procaine proves
The purest rock man groove
And rat poison
The volatile molatov says
Go straight to hell
Go straight to hell
Can you cough it up
Loud and strong?
The immigrants
They wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere, most likely
Could be any frontier, any hemisphere
It's no man's land
There ain't no asylum here
King Solomon, he never lived 'round here
Go straight to hell, boys
Go straight to hell, boys
Go straight to hell, boys
Go straight to hell, boys
Go straight to hell, boys
Go straight to hell, boys
Go straight to hell
Straight To Hell
Lily Allen's "Straight To Hell" stands as a defining track from her 2009 debut album, "It's Not Me, It's You." Released during the height of her pop stardom, the song blends her signature blend of pop sensibilities with a sharp, satirical edge characteristic of her early work. Featuring her distinctive falsetto and a driving, electronic rhythm, the recording captures the chaotic energy of the late 2000s pop landscape. The track serves as a commentary on the pressures of fame and the absurdity of celebrity culture, delivered with a self-deprecating humor that became a hallmark of her public persona. As a key component of her discography, the song remains a staple of her catalog, showcasing her ability to merge personal narrative with broad musical appeal.
