There's something insanely cute and cheeky about this girl I can't quite put my finger on. She shot to fame with her equally fantastic 'Foundations' which mixed her quick-fire lyrics with interesting emotional content. She's talented, no doubt, but people have questioned her ability to really sing, well perhaps she's not the greatest singer, but she also doesn't flaunt flesh to boost sales (yet) or wear low cut pants to improve her 'sexual image' - does that make her any less of a singer as well?
Well, probably, but what she doesn't hit with high notes or ride upon in a music video she makes up for with her lyrics. Fast becoming the first thing I look for in a singer (see Nerina Pallot)
In a similar style to Lily Allen, who I must admit I am indifferent towards, she doesn't seem afraid to be honest with her lyrics. I do think Ms Nash's style is more to my liking than Lily Allen's, though I do have the latter's album, I don't have the former's, yet - the songs I have heard are brilliantly written.I am, of course, talking of Kate Nash. And the song of choice is Birds, it sounds a little nutty when you first listen to it, but there's deep meaning to it's content. Mark my words.
She was waitin' at the station
He was gettin' off the train
He didn't have a ticket
So he had to bum through the barriors, again.
Well the ticket inspector saw him rushin' through
He said, girl you don't know how much I missed you
But we better run cause I
Haven't got the funds to pay
This fine
She said fine
So they ran out of the station
And jumped onto a bus with
Two of yesterdays travel cards
And two bottles of bud
And he said you look well nice.
Well she was wearin a scarf
And he thought she looked nice and
Yeah she didn't really care about
Anything else because she only
Wanted him to think that she looked nice
And he did
But he was lookin at her yeah
All funny in the eye
She said c'mon boy
Tell me what you're thinkin' of
Don't be shy
He said alright I'll try
Well the stars up in the sky
And the leaves in the tree
Oh the broke and missed branches
Pop inbetween
All of my air in the world
Is how much that I like you
She said what?
He said let me try and explain again
Right birds can fly so high
And they can shit on your head
Yeah they can almost fly into your eye
And make you feel so scared
But when you look at them
And you see that they are beautiful
That's how I feel about you
Right birds can fly so high
And they can shit on your head
Yeah they can almost fly into your eye
And make you feel so scared
But when you look at them
And you see that they are beautiful
That's how I feel about you
Yeah that's how I feel about you
She said what?
He said you
She said what are you talking about?
He said you
Right birds can fly so high
And they can shit on your head
Yeah they can almost fly into your eye
And make you feel well scared
But when you look at them
And you see that they are beautiful
That's how I feel about you
(REPEAT)
And that's how I feel about you
She said thanks I like you too
He said cool
