音乐咖啡厅:Littlest Things 微不足道：Lily Allen
《Littlest Things》选自21岁的Lily Allen的首张专辑《Alright Still》。Lily Allen是英国喜剧演员Keith的女儿，从小就极具音乐天赋。她自己作词、作曲，还擅长Pop，Hip-Hop，甚至Dance等。在众多的音乐媒体眼中，Lily Allen看起来将是一位有实力的英国女歌手。
Lily Allen以首支单曲《微笑》登上了英国单曲榜的第一名，作为英国喜剧演员Keith Allen和电影制作人Alison Owen的女儿，Lily Allen的性格很叛逆，她认为歌坛天后麦当娜（点击收听）是被流行乐坛高估的人，而且承认自己在13岁的时候就曾经接触毒品，喜欢接受反面邮件等等。她的思想非常开放，而且坚持自我。
Littlest Things Lily Allen
Sometimes I find myself sitting back and reminiscing
Especially when I have to watch other people kissing
And I remember when you started calling me your misses
All the play fighting, all the flirtatious 1 disses
I'd tell you sad stories about my childhood
I don't know why I trusted you but I knew that I could
We'd spend the whole weekend lying in our own dirt
I was just so happy in your boxers 2 and your T-shirt
[Chorus]
Dreams, Dreams, Of when we had just started things
Dreams of you and me, It seems, It seems
That I can't shake those memories
I wonder if you have the same dreams too.
The littlest things that take me there
I know it sounds lame 3 but it's so true
I know it's not right, but it seems unfair
That the things are reminding me of you
Sometimes I wish we could just pretend
Even if for only one weekend
So come on, Tell me, Is this the end?
Drinking tea in bed, Watching DVD's
When I discovered all your dirty grotty magazines
You take me out shopping and all we'd buy is trainers
As if we ever needed anything to entertain 4 us
the first time that you introduced me to your friends
And you could tell I was nervous, so you held my hand
When I was feeling down, you made that face you do
No one in the world that could replace you
[Chorus]
Dreams, Dreams, Of when we had just started things
Dreams of me and you, It seems, It seems
That I can't shake those memories
I wonder if you feel the same way too
The littlest things that take me there
I know it sounds lame but its so true
I know it's not right, but it seems unfair
That the things remind me of you
Sometimes I wish we could just pretend
Even if for only one weekend
So come on, Tell me, Is this the end?
