This song has a strange romantic narrative to it
At the start of the music video we see an American man in Red boots and a red blazer walking to a door. The colour red symbolises love. Lily Allen talks about a man she likes in this music video so the mans blazer and shoes could link to the song. The red clothing could also represent blood, the relationship could be turning for the worst and blood may be spilled, another link.
In this shot we can see Lily at the front and her and two men in the shadows. These shadows could represent the mysterious personality of the man that she is talking about in the song, we dont know much about him and we never will. This shot could also mean that Lily wears the trousers in the relationship as she is at the front and the mysterious men in the shadows are lurking in the back.
The following lyrics have a big meaning
"I look into your eyes
I want to get to know you
And then you make this noise
And it's apparent it's all over
It's not fair
And I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean"
This here shows that Lily really likes the man when she says "I look into your eyes, i want to get to know you, and then you make this noise and its apparent its all over." We can get a feel that Lily isn't happy with the sexual side of their relationship "And then you make this noise and its apparent its all over" This puts Lily in a huge Dilemma as she really like the man personally but she isn't satisfied physically thats why she says "its not fair."
