Cockney Lily's debut set from 2006...
all her songs are written from the point of view of late teen girls, the songs all have a bit of a tongue in cheek feel to them, lots of cockney rhyming slang also...
catchy tunes throughout, some seriousness in the lyrics if you read between the lines...
a fair few of expletives peppered throughout also, but not near as many as the rap guys...
still, an enjoyable album,not as good as her follow up, but pretty good nonetheless
