I'm a songwriter but she [Katie Melua] has her songs written for her... She must think it's her fucking lucky day... It's not like she's singing old songs like Jamie [Cullum], she's singing shit new songs that her manager writes for her. Sara McDonnell, "Amy Winehouse - Frank About All That Jazz" musicOMH (April 4, 2004) It's not important to me to make other people at ease. I am difficult, but that's 'cause I don’t really give a fuck. Blender, Almost Famous: Amy Winehouse, April 2007 I always said I never wanted to write about love, but then I went and did that anyway. Amy Winehouse, Friday Night With Jonathan Ross I know there are people in the world who have worse problems than falling in love and having it blow up in your face, but I didn't want to just wake up drinking, and crying, and listening to the Shangri-Las, and go to sleep, and wake up drinking, and listening to the Shangri-Las. So I turned it into songs, and that's how I got through it. Life's short. Anything could happen, and it usually does, so there is no point in sitting around thinking about all the ifs, ands and buts. As quoted on QuoteGram Life happens. There is no point in being upset or down about things we can't control or change. As quoted on latintimes «There's no point in saying anything except the truth.» Amy Winehouse en Todomusica.org Song lyrics Frank (2003) You should be stronger than me,But instead you're longer than frozen turkey,Why'd you always put me in control?All I need is for my man to live up to his role,Always wanna talk it through- I'm ok,Always have to comfort you every day,But that's what I need you to do - are you gay? Stronger Than Me You can't sit down right,Cause your jeans are too tight,And you're lucky it's ladies night.With your big empty purse,Every week it gets worse,At least your breasts cost more than hers. Fuck Me Pumps You've got a degree in philosophy,So you think you're cleverer than me.But I'm not just some drama queen,Cos it's where you're at not where you've been.So what do you expect from me,To hold your head above the sea?And there are you even though you're bigger,Cos don't you know you crush my tiny figure?And anyway we're still so youngAnd this isn't yet the day.I can't help you if you won't help yourself. Help Yourself You'll never get my mind rightlike 2 ships passing in the night. In My Bed The Moschino bra you bought me last ChristmasPut it in the box, put it in the boxFrank's in there and I don't carePut it in the box, put it in the box,Now take it, Take the box. Take The Box My destructive side has grown a mile wideand I question myself again: what is it about men? What It Is About Men Back To Black (2006) Though I battle blind,Love is a fate resignedMemories mar my mind,Love is a fate resignedOver futile odds,And laughed at by the godsAnd now the final frame,Love is a losing game. Love Is A Losing Game I'd rather be at home with Ray,I ain't got seventy daysCause there's nothing,There's nothing you can teach meThat I can't learn from Mr Hathaway.I didn't get a lot in classBut I know it don't come in a shot glass. Rehab They tried to make me go to RehabI said no, no, noYes, I've been black, but when I come backYou'll know, know, know!I ain’t got the time,And if my daddy thinks I'm fineJust try to make me go to rehabI won't go, go, go. Rehab He left no time to regret,Kept his dick wet,With his same old safe bet.Me & my head high,And my tears dry,Get on without my guy. Back To Black I don't understand,Why do I stress a man,When there's so many bigger things at hand.We could've never had it all,We had to hit a wall,So this is inevitable withdrawal.Even if I stop wanting youAnd perspective pushes through,I'll be some next man's other woman soon.I couldn't play myself again,I should just be my own best friend,Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men. Tears Dry On Their Own He walks away,The sun goes down,He takes the day but I'm grownAnd in your way,In this blue shadeMy tears dry on their own. Tears Dry On Their Own Then you notice likkle carpet burnMy stomach drop and my guts churnYou shrug and it's the worstWho truly stuck the knife in first?I cheated myself like I knew I wouldI told you I was trouble, you know that I'm no goodI cheated myself, like I knew I wouldI told you I was trouble, yeah you know that I'm no good. You Know I'm No Good It's okay in the day, I'm staying busyTied up enough so I don’t have to wonder, "Where is he?"Got so sick of cryingSo just latelyWhen I catch myself I do a 180I stay up, clean the houseAt least I'm not drinkingRun around just so I don't have to think about thinkingThat silent sense of contentThat everyone getsJust disappears soon as the sun setsHis face in my dreams, seizing my gutsHe floods me with dreadSoaked to the soulHe swims in my eyes by the bedPour myself over himMoon spilling inAnd I wake up alone. Wake Up Alone What kind of fuckery is this?You made miss the Slick Rick gig. Me & Mr. Jones I'll battle this bitter finale,Just me, my dignity and this guitar case. Some Unholy War Quotes about Amy Winehouse Amy Winehouse: Did she invent white soul? Wearing a beehive? No. But she did something brand new and fresh, altogether as a package, and you see who's in her wake, from the Duffys to the Lana Del Reys. Adele selling 20 million records? That would not have happened if Amy Winehouse was alive. Jack White, Weiner, Jonah (June 5, 2014), "Jack White". Rolling Stone. (1210):52-78 If it wasn't for Amy and Frank, one hundred per cent I wouldn't have picked up a guitar, I wouldn't have written "Daydreamer" or "Hometown" and I wrote "Someone Like You" on the guitar too. Contrary to reports, me and Amy didn't really know each other, we weren't friends or anything like that. I went to Brit School and she went for a little while. But a million per cent if I hadn't heard Frank this wouldn't have happened. I adored her.
