Let’s have it right
We all know the score
Been up for three nights
You’re stuck behind the door
Chewing off your jaw
The fame they stoned you with
You soldiered it
Made your fortune
But you're broke inside
Stand up there in front of the whole world
And you don't feel those songs no more
Oh me, Oh my, Amy
You won't be coming down tonight
He does imply he would have preferred to have died before Amy in the song.
It's sad, both of these two have had problems with drugs. It's good to see the Amy Winehouse Foundation including friends and family aiming to teach young people a better understanding of drug and alcohol misuse. Makes a negative into a positive.
