Fake Lyrics…blog 21 :)

Hope everyone is okay! Just thought i would post a little blog because i got an email from someone asking if  I could post a blog showing the lyrics for Fake! I thought it would be a bit of fun… I love it when i know the lyrics to a song, it means you can sing along! Usually I have been singing completely random lyrics about stuff that doesn’t make sense, so when i see the lyrics, im like… “OHHHH thatsss what  she meant!”

Oh oh here we go again
Your acting like you’re my best friend
But I can’t trust anything that comes outta your mouth!

.. ..

Your cringing smile
And sneering grin
You seem quite friendly…
But that’s your spin
Cos I’m tangled in your web
And I just wanna get OUT!

.. ..

You seem so wrong
But you act so right
You seem sincere but I feel your bite
I can see straight through your disguise….

.. ..

Got me looking round
Got me looking up and down
Got me wondering why?……………… YOU ACT SO FAKE!

Every compliments a lie
Every time I try
I come to realise……………………THAT YOUR SO FAKE!

Who d’ya think your tryna fool
Who d’ya think your tryna kid
Who ya tryna impress………………BY BEING THIS WAY!

You got me looking round
Got me looking up and down
Got me wondering why……………YOU ACT SO FAKE!

.. ..

Oh oh what ya saying now
Do you really think I wouldn’t find out
All the insults you like to throw behind my back?
Oh oh why can’t you be
That nasty girl in front of me
Instead of putting on your sweet little act

.. ..

And you say…
Oh your hair just looks so nice!
That unwashed look just looks so right
In your patronizing demoralizing wayyyyy

.. ..

WHY OH WHY OH WHY OH WHY
You gotta be you gotta be two faced

WHY OH WHY OH WHY OH WHY
You gotta act you gotta act so fake
Can’t you be can’t you be a little straight
You preach love when in fact you hate….

.. ..

Also i have uploaded a video about Ginaaa!! I hope you have many giggles…..

Sooooooooooo…. Where are we at!

My gig on Thursday went really well @ the Notting Hill Arts Club! My microphone didn’t disconnect half way through a  song like last time I performed there, so you could say it was a good night!

I had an interview for The Guardian and also Attitude Mag on Friday which was pretty cool! They shall both be out around the same time as my limited single Fake in April so look out! Was sooo embarrassing because for the Guardian I had to have my photo taken, in the middle of Camden! Everyone was staring at me as they were walking past me getting photographed with my vanilla and Nutella milkshakeeee! TOO good for words I tell you.

At the moment my music video for Fake is showing on NME tv, 4 music and also Fizz t.v! I haven’t caught it yet, but someone else saw my on NME the other day! Weeeeiiiirrrrdddddd!!

At my gig on Thursday this Guy called Fryars was playing. He is a solo artist. Very electro… But that isn’t what drew me to him, his voice literally sounds like it belongs in the 80’s! It’s amazzzzing.. I LOVED his songs too, they really got the crowd going. Plus he was like 20 feet tall  orr something like thattt! Even with my killer heels on he towered over me!!!!! (obviously an exaggeration, he wasn’t 20ft tall)…. I did take a photooo but even with the help from a computer Genius, I still can’t upload photos onto my blog. But check him out.

My rehearsals for the Cherry Jam have been going well… We are doing eleven songs, so I gotta get the honey and lemon down my throat harddddd coore! I’m excited. You can expect an acoustic song, also a couple more slow ones than what your used to! I am very excite!

Sorry I am writing this on Sunday but I am doinngg a little photo shoot tomorrow with some Students who do fashion and design which should be pretty cool, so no time to do the Monday Blog!

Have a good week everryyyoneeee.

SHAKAWAY!!!!!! blog 18

ALright my lovelys!

I went to my old school and friday and picked up my GCSE certificates, it was so much fun seeing everyone but also really surreal that i wasn’t at school anymore!

I went to the most amaaaazing place today at the Whitgift centre near where i live! It was called “Shakaway”…. You go in there and can have any milkshake you want! Twix, KitKat, Minstrels, Aero literally anything. My friends got Dime bar flavour and as it was my turn they run out of Dime bars! So i got a Kinda Beuno, really not as good as the Dime shake. Hows your luck??!

You can also ask for your own personal milkshake…. but the Alex milkshake would prob be something groase like wheetabix and beans :S YUKKK!
Other than that my life has been pretty straightforward. Saw my family a lot which was cool…

Still preparing for the Cherry Jam! But you have to book online because you can’t get in without a ticket! Really can’t wait…

My reviews in the Daily Star, NME and Gay times were really good write ups and i was really pleased! Some of my friends saw me in the Gay times and we all got a bit giggly…

I think this monday blog thing is becoming a bit of a regular thing

Have a good week

OH DEAR! blog 17…

Oh Noooo! My gig at San Moritz has been cancelled this saturday, bummer! I was looking forward to getting into my flipflops…

For those of you who were planning to come, i’m sorry! I guess you will have to come to my next gig, I’m doing Yoyo at the Nottinghill Arts Club on the 19th of March. I have played there before and was a  cool evening. If you have got nothing to do on Saturday night i recomend Benjamin Button. I cried for the last half an hour of the film, literally! GOD I’M LIKE MY MOTHER! Not that thats a bad thing she is a top Mum. But we are emotional women when it comes to movies/Brad Pitt.

Sorry again…

Blog 14, Fashion Showwww

Crazy Night last night, i got invited to this amazing Fashion Show in Shoreditch! It was hosted by Johnny Blue Eyes and was called “DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARKNESS WITHIN”. Will Young was there and just in my moment to get a good shot my camera wouldn’t even turn on! Jodie Harsh was there i think with this woman chasing after her asking loads of questions! The lead from the Feeling…What a night :)

Pretty scary at some points those because i had a naked woman within touching distance with red glitter in areas red glitter should never be in!

Also everyone got goodie bags and sat there looking really cool and didn’t even look through them. As soon as i got mine i was going mad, i don’t know whether it’s fashion rules not to look through the goodie bags, but who cares???

Sorry didn’t take any piccies because the camera wasn’t loving me yesterday
Remember i’m playing at Proud Galleries tomorow night in Camden! Should be a good one, i looked on the Proud Gallerie’s website, they have had The Enemy, Dirty Pretty Things, Amy Winehouse and Lethal Bizzle perform… I’m on at 10pm

Blog 13, Cab drivers, Baloons and just life really

Hey everyone, Gloomy Monday so i thought i could cheer you up with some pics and vids! The video i was talking about on my previous blog is up on Youtube, just not on Myspace yet, here is the link….Slomo Alex .

My Music video for Fake shouldddd be on Myspace some time today, it takes AAAGGGEESS. But i can’t wait for you to see it and let me know what you think! I had such a laugh filming it and i hope it comes across in the vid. And now, maybe you can get a hint of ‘Ginaaa’ who i keep mentioning!

I had a gig on Saturday night at ‘The Egg’ in Kings Cross. I didn’t come on until 2 am so thanks those of you who waited. Because it was a gig in association with Fashion Week, loads of young designers and people at fashion schools were selling items and doing catwalks of their stuff… I met some really querky people! I have uploaded an album of some of the things i saw on Saturday! Amazing cakes, This cool but kinda scary guy who was dressed up in Geisha! Really cool stuff that people were selling. These two women were walking around in dresses made out of balloons! 

I met Rene from Wonky Pop who got me the gig at Egg, there is a pic of us two while he is working his magic on Saturday.I loved his set…..

I didn’t really feel tired until i got into a cab on the way home and this guy with overly curly hair was blaring out some sort of obscure hardcore dance music, which usually i would appreciate, but nooooooooo not when i was tired. And then as he pulled into my road, he played a bit of Barry White or some sort of smooth track like that, bliss for ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m off to watch skins now, love it sooo much, i would love to play a character in that show, finally a teenage drama that shows reality for people who dont own over 5 billiontrilliongazillion poundsss .

p.s If anyone hasn’t seen Pinapple express, you haven’t lived ‘ I wanna be inside you homessssss’….

p.ss I love to ramble ….

p.sss I went to pizza express today and had a salad, probably the hardest day of my life…..
