Lily Allen - Kabul Shit (HQ) + w/Lyrics

[giorgos9388]

Waiting for your next Album Lilly...

Thanks...Mike

[alysaurustheslydog]

I fricken love this song. why? its not about how bad someone broke her heart, how in love she is, having sex, doing drugs, how hard she partied last night or any of that stuff thats in the songs that everyone I know listens to :(

[ConlangFan]

This song is both catchy and deep and political ;o

[amnaamo]

what does this song mean ?, is it against afghanistan or what ?

[omimagnus]

@amnaamo ka bullshit

[RubyEngel]

@amnaamo Kabul - the capital of Afghanistan

-bul shit = bullshit

She's saying it's bullshit for the US to be Afghanistan "fighting terrorists" when all they really want is their oil. [2nd verse]

However, the government used incidents such as 9/11 to wage war, get resources, and kill innocent people. We use our freedom to cause problems, not solve them

[Now, you'd think that we'd be grateful

For the fact we've got a choice

Instead we throw it back at people

Who don't even have a voice]

[myflyingknickers]

This one is simply perfect. No words!! Thumbs UP!!!!

[ttztotdca55]

Holy cow. Why wasn't this released on It's Not Me, It's you?

[9794gilili]

Lily you rock!

[SebastianMontanile]

Lily should came back to music but if she's happy by this new life... then, it's okey :)

[HOLyPde]

@SebastianMontanile I´m sure she will come back one day! :D

[SebastianMontanile]

@HOLyPde Yes...but actually i dont know but i hope she come back :) i really want to hear a new cd or to go to one of her gigs,it will be awseome

[Brittwinsfan18]

Favorite song of the year :):) so nice y'all

[sivousplaitavecmoi]

god i love this song it's definitely her best

[TheOnlyLucieGraceX]

should've been released. Best Lily song, of them all.

[treehugger625]

this and why are probably my favorite songs of hers. i wish i could get hold of those b-sides :P

[sdiuwg]

@PointRecce and @Spunkette87 , thank you for the answer

[RebornThroughHate]

This is a good song. Meaningful lyrics, too.

[sdiuwg]

I didn't understand it yet...why does the name of the song is "kabul shit"?

[PointRecce]

@sdiuwg its because it about the war in afghanistan

[Spunkette87]

@sdiuwg kabul is in Afghanistan...which the American and British forces went to war with after sept. 11.

(and we'll blame it on terror, also known as religion) kabullshit. like "bullshit".

thats my take on it, anyways.

[GeoMcEvan]

Love it, reminds me of the fear

[nfirebolt1]

beginning sounds like muse, ish

[theriolu1693able]

i got it from itunes, i heard the preview and i liked it, i never knew it sounded so cool, and informative.

[SnappyPenguins]

Just like to point out, you made a small mistake in the lyrics, it's actually "Rather than steal someone else's", not "While there's still someone else's".

[TheOnlyLucieGraceX]

I want her. <3.

[s2ths2]

I hope she keep writting amazing smart songs like this one.

[dimeuno]

No, the Nile is in Egypt.

[Amyescence688]

I love Lily Allen, she's such an amazing vocalist. And of course, she's one of the few British vocalists that actually keep their accents when they sing. I find it sad that she's giving up music, everyones going to miss her. :(

[hotstuff0410]

@Amyescence688 i really hope she gets back into it, shes too talented not to :\

[Dr3amstate]

@Amyescence688 I didn't know she was... :< I only know her music. I haven't looked into her personal life. That brings me great sorrow :< I'm sad now...

[phlopped]

@lilyistheking you have got to be kidding me right? just look at the fucking picture! wow, what a retard

[garbagedisposal764]

omg i luv the beat of this song!

[musicalsoul08]

I love Lily :) She never says anything but the truth.

[actuallyadam]

I love her writing style. So frank.

[Tamtamgo92]

This is a great song!

We listend to it in our English lesson and I loved it from the very beginning.

Go Lily!

[xspicypepperx]

what's this song about?

[snowleopard772]

@xspicypepperx how can you not know?

[BallerinaOnLemonade]

@xspicypepperx - I agree with snowleopard772, it is pretty obvious. -.-

It's about how humans have fucked the world up and we're in denial about having to fix it before it's too late.

I'm so happy Lilly's singing about something important, it sure beats another "omg my boyfried left me" song. :]

[BallerinaOnLemonade]

[L2E100]

@BallerinaOnLemonade i really got to know what this song is about... can you be more specific "how human have fucked the world up"? i thought the song is about the environment and how peole destroy it, is it right?

[BallerinaOnLemonade]

@L2E100 yeah thats right. :) by 'fucked the world up' i meant habitat destruction, pollution, warfare, climate change, poverty and world hunger, species extinction and rarity, crime, terrorism, basicly all the bad stuff people have done.. that's what i think anyway.

hope that helped. :)

[MyNeonRainowz]

@xspicypepperx

Pollution and such, like the environment and how if we continue on like this one day all this crap we're doing to the world will probably kill us. The chorus is just saying how its like no one is doing a damn thing about it.

[BeckyBoo1532]

saw this live in Sheffield.

she laughed at me when i was singing along : D

<3 lily ...

[3088781]

the electronic sound seems to have some Muse influences in it!

and in a good way :D

[melcantell]

amazing song. unbelievably true

[Samiii15]

@melcantell fukk off get off lily shes mine bitch and go bak to marina!

[melcantell]

Fine! Marina was better to begin with anyway. You know, i try and i try to make an effort with lily. She's just not doing for me though, Marina can't help but beat her everytime, just get out Sama!

[Samiii15]

@melcantell you do not try with lily, you cant try with lily, that makes noe sense, lily is effortless, its like u cant not love her its effort to try to hate her! marina is meh and will never be like lily soo you can go take ur spanish singer and kill yourselves

[melcantell]

[2000ldj]

good

[UglyBettyFanNo1]

i like this one

[SuperModelVogue]

I like her music but jesus, this bitch needs to get the fuck off the internet and needs to fuck this modelling bullshit - i want to like her but it's so clear she's clueless and insecure and she wants to be a celebrity more than she wants to be a musician.

[SuperModelVogue]

just to be clear, i don't hate her - i just find liking her to be super tiresome, sometimes.

she doesn't seem passionate about music.

[Flurolamp]

It's funny cause your username is SuperModelVogue

[SuperModelVogue]

lol lesson: never trust your 14 yr old self.

[LMAOASS]

love this song, at least some of us realized that we're in danger

[GuacamoleNOTpoop]

Terror also known as Religion - shes right

[Pauulitakeane]

Oh silly old us ! lol

[MarritMu]

if only we would've listened to lily x]

we should really start thinking

[aimus94]

theres a hole in our logic... theres a hole in the sky

[nibivicixi]

[edgtprice]

To whoever compiled the lyrics on this video and got confused: New Labour is the unofficial name of the political party in government in the UK, having been in power since 1997. Have you heard of Tony "Iraq War" Blair or Gordon Brown at all? Before the Iraq War, it was fashionable for young trendies to vote New Labour. Now, as Lily correctly points out, the British political scene is more blurred.

[EsmayeROCK]

this song is perfect live.

i've seen her live last week.

(L)

[jojoknight]

Such a good song!

[jordancwebb]

Phanominal lyrics!!

[Gem2x87]

I agree with this song but can see why she didn't release it, it would be very controversial.

[TimesUpTim]

she did release it, its on her digital EP 'The Fear' on iTunes lol but yeah 'tis abit controversial init? lmao

[Gem2x87]

Ah did she, I just saw the cd track list and it wasn't on it didn't know about the digital one. Yeh she would get crucified if she released this lol.

[TimesUpTim]

lmao i know but tis a good song though

[Gem2x87]

Aye tis :) Not known Lily to have a bad song yet.

[TimesUpTim]

Lmao i know my friend always says it and its like stuck into me now lol and i know lily is amazing tbh

Lily FTW ha

[fwoggy007]
