Amy Winehouse

I wish I'd known Amy Winehouse
We could've hung out in Camden, fabulous
She dressed up as a roller skate waitress
Me pretending that I was famous

I'da kept all her notebooks tidy
While she was busy doing something exciting
Cooked her a first-class omelette
She'd be hungry from hustling pool bets

Paparazzi stealing your soul
To keep themselves off the dole
Scummy vampires of the lens
Drained your blood until you were spent
Stoned chanteuse, out of control
Far too frank when the drinks was cold

I'd hold her hand, chaperone to the castle
Take arms against douchebag battalions
Dodge the moat, glory as she emotes
Offer my coat, ward off ravenous millions

Take my pen, Amy, and write this song
When I hit the high notes, they come out all wrong
It'd be a great help if you just sang along
Don't say, "No, no, no," so headstrong

Lioness in a pink dress
Ripped her heart right out of her chest (kaddesh)
Here she is, armoured in black
Matter of fact, with a bridge to attack

Oh Amy, Oh Amy
You were too adorable for me to not act crazy
Cute and sweet, a real feisty lady
If I'd tried to save you
Would you've tried to save me?

Imagine us warriors, troubadours so courageous
Soul-twined mates, utterly devastating
I wish I'd known Amy Winehouse
I wish I knew Amy Winehouse
