Everything's Just Wonderful Lyrics
Do you think everything, everyone
Is goin' mental?
It seems to me,
We're spiralling out of control
And don't you think
This time is yours, this time is mine
It's tempermental
It seems to me,
We're on all fours,
Crawling on our knees, someone help us please
Oh Jesus, Christ Almighty,
Do I feel alright? No, not slightly.
I wanna get a flat, I know I can afford it
It's just the bureaucrats that won't give me a mortgage.
It's very funny, 'cause I got your fucking money
And I'm never gonna get it, just 'cause of my bad credit.
Oh well, I guess I mustn't grumble
I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles.
Oh, yeah, so fine
Everything's just wonderful
I'm havin' the time of my life.
Another one,
Something else, something new
What have we got here?
And don't you feel, it's all the same,
Some sick game, it's so insincere.
I wish I could, change the ways
Of the world, make it a nice place
Until that day, I guess we stay
Doin' what we do, screwin' who we screw.
Why can't I sleep at night?
Don't say it's gonna be alright,
I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognase,
And not feel bad about it for days and days and days,
All the magazines they talk about weight loss,
If I buy those jeans, I can look like Kate Moss
I know that it's not the life I chose,
But I guess that's just the way that things go.
Oh, yeah, so fine
Everything's just wonderful
I'm havin' the time of my life. (x2)
Oh Jesus, Christ Almighty,
Do I feel alright? No, not slightly.
I wanna get a flat, I know I can afford it
It's just the bureaucrats that won't give me a mortgage.
It's very funny, 'cause I got your fucking money
And I'm never gonna get it, just 'cause of my bad credit.
Oh well, I guess I mustn't grumble
I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles.
Oh, yeah, so fine
Everything's just wonderful
I'm havin' the time of my life. (x2)
Is goin' mental?
We're spiralling out of control
And don't you think
This time is yours, this time is mine
It's tempermental
We're on all fours,
Crawling on our knees, someone help us please
Do I feel alright? No, not slightly.
I wanna get a flat, I know I can afford it
It's just the bureaucrats that won't give me a mortgage.
It's very funny, 'cause I got your fucking money
And I'm never gonna get it, just 'cause of my bad credit.
I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles.
Everything's just wonderful
I'm havin' the time of my life.
Something else, something new
What have we got here?
And don't you feel, it's all the same,
Some sick game, it's so insincere.
Of the world, make it a nice place
Until that day, I guess we stay
Doin' what we do, screwin' who we screw.
Don't say it's gonna be alright,
I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognase,
And not feel bad about it for days and days and days,
All the magazines they talk about weight loss,
If I buy those jeans, I can look like Kate Moss
I know that it's not the life I chose,
But I guess that's just the way that things go.
Everything's just wonderful
I'm havin' the time of my life. (x2)
Do I feel alright? No, not slightly.
I wanna get a flat, I know I can afford it
It's just the bureaucrats that won't give me a mortgage.
It's very funny, 'cause I got your fucking money
And I'm never gonna get it, just 'cause of my bad credit.
I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles.
Everything's just wonderful
I'm havin' the time of my life. (x2)

Best song on the album.
What are you talking about? None of them are judging anything. They were discussing, but not judging. You appear to me a very bitter person and I could suggest that you should go out and get help.
And as far as being 'Just fine', I think she's swaying on both sides. Like, she gets frustrated when there are things she just can't control, but other times -even though she has problems on the side- at the moment she's able to do whatever and be completely worry free about it at the moment. Sorry, run-on sentence. Then later on it comes and bites her in the butt, and she feels down again.
i love this song, I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognase, And not feel bad about it for days and days and days, All the magazines they talk about weight loss, If I buy those dreams, I can look like Kate Moss
is brilliant i feel its a bit satirical and all that, saying all this stupid social stuff is going on but shes still having a good time, unless that parts sarcastic
i love it though, this girl is fantastic!
This song is about the state that britain and society in general is in at the moment - "I wish I could, change the ways Of the world, make it a nice place Until that day, I guess we stay Doin' what we do, screwin' who we screw."
Basically it means we all do what we want, have unprotected sex with who we want, do drink and drugs and be violent and its seen as acceptable now. But.. its gone too far and now "We're spiralling out of control"
I think the whole song is satirical and sarcastic all the way through, i dont think she meant it when she says everything is wonderful and fine.
And I think one of the line is wrong - "If I buy those dreams, I can look like Kate Moss"
Its - "If i but those JEANS, I can look like kate moss"
If you open any woman magazine in this moment in time there will be an article on losing weight, and an half the magazine will be on how to look more like a celebrity. And its wrong, like the lyrics suggest
this song is so pretty!
I have to disagree, i think she is being sincere in 'everything being just wonderful'. it's like even thought the world is so corrupt and has the wrong morals, etc. she accepts that is just the way 'the cookie crumbles' and she is still happy as she is.
What?! She's sooo being sarcastic! And it's 'jeans' not 'dreams'.
Absolutely.
Loooove this song. The english pop scene seems to be so much better than the US one. When I think of Lily Allen, then Hilary Duff...there's really no comparison.
This song is deep yo!. Make's you hate the world and society in general.
=]
Lily's SO young but so intelligent! love her.
Not a bad word can be spoken of Ms. Allen.
