| Jamie T – Alicia Quays Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
A lot of what the people said about conformity and uniformity are right, but as far as the title goes, this song has nothing to do with Alicia Keys, or her not wanting him to use his name. The British have a way of speaking in a slang/coded sort of manner, a sort of game (something of the like), so when Jamie says Alicia Quays, he's talking about himself, in his song, as part of the music scene, as his own little thing; to use his words: "I'll still be down here ON A LOW-KEY send your girl over and she'll blatantly chat to me." And if you listen to the way he sings it, it sounds a lot more like "Alicia Keys." Then, if I was playing along, I might say something like, "Sounds like barney rubble then," which would be taken as bloody trouble. I'm no expert on British dialect and colloquialisms, but it's something like that. |
