Lily Allen – Air Balloon Lyrics 11 years ago
I think this song is about kicking back, having a drink, and just having fun. Not everything has to have a deep meaning/depressing story. That might be why she referenced Kurt Cobain...he wrote a lot of songs with deep meanings, but he also wrote songs that literally made no sense and were just jokes (Smells Like Teen Spirit, anyone?).

Lily Allen – Him Lyrics 11 years ago
I think this is a swipe at America...
"Do you think
His favorite type of human
Is Caucasian
Do you reckon
He's been done for tax evasion"
She's referencing how racism in America and the real estate collapse of '08.
"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 favorite band
Is Creedence Clearwater Revival"
She's referencing how the "great" leader of America used to be a druggie.
"Ever since he can remember people
Have died in his good name
Long before that September
Long before hijacking planes"
She's talking about how America has killed countless of innocent people in history (think Slavery--which is why she said the Caucasian thing earlier).
"Do you think he's skint
Or financially secure
And come election time
I wonder who he'd vote for"
Again, referencing the US economy. Bush tanked the economy yet we voted for him twice.
"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"
If America's this "christian" place why do they fight everyone and kill innocent people?
