And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers
Chasing me all over town
Cause he knows I'm wasted, facing
Time again at Riker's Island and I won't get out
Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
Ready for you
What kind of song writing BOOK?

Like she hasn't mess lyrics:
Tell me I'm your National Anthem.
(Ooh, yeah, baby, bow down,)
(Making me so wow, wow.)
Tell me I'm your National Anthem.
(Sugar, sugar, how now,)
(Take your body down town.)
Red, white, blue's in the skies,
Summer's in the air and baby,
Heaven's in your eyes.
I'm your National Anthem.

Let us compare with the choruses from both their debut singles.
Worldwide top 10, platinum certified single Video Games:
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do
Settle Down:
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down

STOP. What's wrong with these lyrics? They're perfect for me and much better than all the songs you can hear on the radio.

Lana Del Rey's Lyrics, Vocals, Style and Image have proved to be more appealing than Kimbra's

madonnas already clocked you on that.
In any case, Vows has far more depth and interesting lyrical content. Critics agree.

In the context of the album and the image of her this sounds flawless

 I like this song but the lyrics are a bit simplistic.

Vocals - HELL no
Musical Talent - Kimbra actually has some....
Lyrical - Doesn't matter, Kimbra/Lana
Where does that leave us?
Kimbra winning.

Video Games alone is more critically acclaimed,had more impact and success than Kimbra's whole existence(will ever have).
