Lilium is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs, all with large, prominent flowers. They comprise a genus of about 110 species in the lily family Liliaceae. Most species are native to the temperate northern hemisphere, though their range extends into the northern subtropics.
Lilies form an important group of flowering garden plants and are important in culture and literature in much of the world. A few species are sometimes grown or harvested for the edible bulbs.
The species in genus Lilium are true lilies. Many other plants have "lily" in their common names, some of which are quite unrelated to true lilies.
The range of lilies in the Old World extends across much of Europe, across most of Asia to Japan, south to the Nilgiri mountains in India, and south to the Philippines. In the New World they extend from southern Canada through much of the United States. They are commonly adapted to either woodland habitats, often montane, or sometimes to grassland habitats. A few can survive in marshland and epiphytes are known in southeast Asia (including L. arboricola). In general they prefer moderately acidic or lime-free soils.
Lily Rose Beatrice Cooper (born 2 May 1985), better known as Lily Allen, is an English recording artist, actress and fashion designer. She is the daughter of actor and musician Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen. In her teenage years, her musical tastes evolved from glam rock to alternative. Allen abandoned school and concentrated on improving her performing and compositional skills. Afterwards, she created several demo songs and, near the end of 2005, she created a profile on MySpace where she made some of her recordings public.
A contract was signed with the label Regal Recordings, as the views on MySpace rose to tens of thousands. In 2006, she began to work on completing what would be her first studio album and its first mainstream single "Smile" reached the top position on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006. Her debut record, Alright, Still, was well received on the international market, selling over 2.6 million copies and brought Allen a nomination at the Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards and MTV Video Music Awards. She then began hosting her own talk-show, Lily Allen and Friends, on BBC Three.

Look at yourself, look at me, dear
How did we become this tear?
Why can we learn to subtract?
You are lit, but behind I see black
It's time against your back
It's time against your back
I have cleared, dry erase this board
I have steered, I am heading for shore
Don't look back just to see what it was for
There's no use, there is nothing more
But time against your back
But time against your back
You won't speak, when you do you still don't
I've been due, you're a bitch, you're a whore
I will love you forevermore
Let's begin, let us love to destroy
With time against our backs
Lily, my one and only
I can hardly wait till I see her
Silly, I know I'm silly
Cause I'm hanging in this tree
In the hopes that she will catch a glimpse of me
And thru her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she.........?
Lily, my one and only
Love is in my heart and in your eyes
Will she or won't she want him
No one knows for sure
But an officer is knocking at my door
And thru her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she could only see me?
And when I'm with her I feel fine
If I could kiss her I wouldn't mind the time it took to find
My lily, my one and only
I can hardly wait till I see her
Oh lily, I know you love me
Cause as they're draggin me away
I swear I saw her raise her hand and wave (goodbye)
M & L--Mitchell)
Lily come near me / Lily come sit near me
you can survive / and feel alive / Lily can become--anyone
Lily come near me / Lily come sit near me
you've gotten this far / see what you are / Lily please become--someone
no i may never make it with sanity / no i may never make it to be wealthy
so if you're looking for success... / what is it man man man?
i just hang around / try not to feel down
sometimes feeling cold / freezing down my soul
Lily don't become... / things will turn around
so you'd like to be / so you can see
you can survive / and feel alive

Lily lived in a farmhouse at the edge of town
Long black braids like anchor chains, how they weighed her down
Dark eyes, pale skin
Mean dad, she was my second grade friend, my very best friend
She had four older brothers that I sometimes dreamed about
Mennonite children like wild Indians in a one room schoolhouse
At sixteen she ran away
Married, her first chance to escape
Oh Lily, why'd you have to cut your hair
Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon
Oh Lily
A lifetime later I passed through Buffalo and found her house
Same sweet Lily was looking through the eyes
Of the woman I was talking to now, she gave me a rose she made
Of silk and memories of a lost yesterday
Oh Lily, why'd you have to cut your hair
Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon
Oh Lily
Two silhouettes in the afternoon
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon
Oh Lily, why'd you have to cut your hair
Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon
Oh Lily, why'd you have to cut your hair
Oh Lily, I loved us just the way we were
Princess of the field and daughter of the moon
{Oh thou, who gives sustenance to the universe
From whom all things proceed
To whom all things return
Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun
Hidden by a disc of golden light
That we may know the truth
And do our whole duty
As we journey to thy sacred feet}
Well I said, "Lily, oh Lily I don't feel safe
I feel that life has blown a great big hole
Through me" And she said
"Child, you must protect yourself
You can protect yourself
I'll show you how with fire"
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire
I said, "Lily, no Lily I'm so afraid
I fear I am walking in the Veil of Darkness"
And she said, "Child, take what I say
With a pinch of salt
And protect yourself with fire"
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire
He doesn't do, doesn't do, doesn't do
No don't don't don't
This must be used
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
Hmm, in the circle of fire
Oh, Gabriel before me, you'll
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side

On la trouvait plutôt jolie, Lily
Elle arrivait des Somalies, Lily
Dans un bateau plein d'émigrés
Qui venaient tous de leur plein gré
Vider les poubelles à Paris.
Elle croyait qu'on était égaux,
Lily
Au pays d'Voltaire et d'Hugo, Lily
Mais pour Debussy en revanch'
Il faut deux noires pour une blanche
Ça fait un sacré distinguo
Elle aimait tant la liberté, Lily
Elle rêvait de fraternité, Lily
Un hôtelier rue Secrétan
Lui a précisé en arriv
Qu'on ne recevait que des Blancs.
Elle a déchargé des cageots, Lily
Elle s'es tapé les sal's boulots, Lily
Ell' crie pour vendre des choux-fleurs
Dans la rue, ses frèr's de couleur
L'accompagn't au marteau piqueur
Et quand on l'appelait Blanc
he, Lily
Elle se laissait plus prendre au piège, Lily
Elle trouvait ça très amusant
Mêm' s'il fallait serrer les dents
Ils auraient été trop contents.
Elle aimait un beau blond frisé, Lily
Qui était tout près à l'épouser, Lily
Mais la bell' famill'
lui dit : "Nous
N'sommes pas racistes pour deux sous
Mais on n'veut pas de ça chez nous."
Elle a essayé l'Amérique, Lily
Ce grand pays démocratiqu', Lily
Elle aurait pas cru sans le voir
Que la couleur du désespoir
Là-bas aussi ce fut le noir.
Mais dans un meeting à Memphis, Lily
Elle a vu Angela Davis, Lily
Qui lui dit : "Viens ma petit' soeur"
En s'unissant on a moins peur
Des loups qui guettent le trappeur.
Et c'est pour conjurer sa peur, Lily
Qu'ell' lève aussi un poing rageur, Lily
Au milieu de tous ces gugus
Qui foutent le feu aux autobus
Interdits aux gens de couleur.
Mais dans ton combat quotidien, Lily
Tu connaîtras un type bien, Lily
Et l'enfant qui naîtra un jour
Aura la couleur de l'amour
Contre laquelle on ne peut ri
On la trouvait plutôt jolie, Lily
Elle arrivait des Somalies, Lily
Dans un bateau plein d'émigrés
Qui venaient tous de leur plein gré
