Let's end the night by taking a trip?
Where, you say?
To a place where Duffy only has one song left in the competition.

Duffy - Warwick Avenue
Average Rate: 7.719
Highest Score: 10 (6x)
Lowest Score: 4 (1x)
Warwick Avenue, the third single from
Rockferry, was released in the spring of 2008. It began a gradual climb up the UK charts, eventually peaking at number three. Written by Duffy, Jimmy Hogarth (who wrote with one of our other ladies a few years before) and EG White (who also co-wrote a song that we won't be seeing for a very long time - VERY LONG), it's meaning even mystified Duffy:

I can't really explain where Warwick Avenue came from. I've only been there twice, once by accident. I got off at that stop and the name just took me by surprise. The next day, we were writing songs and it just sort of came out.
There are lyrics in Warwick Avenue about certain exes. I won't pinpoint the song on any particular person but it was weird hearing it for the first time in public. When I was writing it I felt I got everything out of my system, but being there on the video set I got a bit upset. It came out of the blue. Writing songs can be weird. It's like writing in blood on the wall for everyone to see. And it's real blood because it's your personal emotions that are spurting out.

I love how the only two 10s I gave Lily are already out. Whatever.
Duffy deserved better. And OF COURSE that ****-stain "Mercy" is the song that did the best. I should have given it a 1 just to weigh it down, but I don't believe in strategic voting like that.
