Amy Winehouse - Stronger Than Me (Live in HiDef/Stereo Sound)

Amy Winehouse -Stronger Than Me is the debut single from Amy Winehouse debut album, 'Frank'. Live On Jools Holland, November 2003

Lyrics:
You should be stronger than me
You been here seven years longer than me
Don't you know you supposed to be the man?
Not pale in comparison to who you think I am
You always wanna talk it through
I don't care
I always have to comfort you
When I'm there
But that's what I need you to do
Stroke my hair

I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy

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
You always wanna talk it through
I'm O.K
I always have to comfort you
Everyday
But that's what I need you to do
Are you gay?

I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy

He said 'the respect I made you earn, thought you had so many lessons to learn'
I said 'you don't know what love is get a grip'
Sounds as if you're reading from so other tired script

I'm not gonna meet your mother anytime
I just wanna grip your body over mine
So tell me why you think that's a crime

I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady and you my lady boy
You should be stronger than me

SEA OF SHOES: JANE ALDRIDGE [If I were a shoe..."Shoenami J"!



seaofshoes
Jane Aldridge [ first television interview] is calm, composed and at home [literally].
Her CV includes 'Teen Vogue' and 'French Glamour,' and hundreds of blogs, whose readers track her every footstep--
Jane is unfazed, but not immune to scrutiny.
This featurette includes shiny 'boot-y' from her closet
[recognizable to readers of 'Sea of Shoes'--her industry-watched blog, described here as, 'One of the most popular blogs on the Internet'].
Most hits in a day? [61,000].
Kanye West 'boot-y call'?
[Yes, but not what you're thinking. rapper, turned fashion maven/SOS fan was all 'bout business.]
Got shoes? Affirmative!
Exotic, avant-garde; always chic; impossible to see this side of Paris [France, not Texas], Jane's shoes artfully parked in their own showroom, her bedroom closet.
[I have witnessed grown women, teenage girls, and not a few men comment SOS, combining bliss, agony, deep-green envy, and obeisant supplication, with the rare Jerry Springer-reject thrown in for kicks.]


Jane, with insight beyond her years, and an easy Texas laugh appropriate to them [due in part to her mother, Judy--former model, current retailer: 'Atlantis Vintage' atlantis] credits Mom for inspiration and early initiation by Kabuki.
This three-minute clip [accompanied by awful techno], conceived as an 'human interest peek into Jane's closet,' finds Jane flipping absurdity into Zen pancakes.

Cocksure, not cocky, Jane [with a twinkle] begins, 'If I were a shoe...,' selecting a chic '09 Alaïa 'Maryjane on Steroids' and anthropomorphizing it with only a modicum of detectable bullshit into that which would normally define superfluity, but which here transforms a teenage puff-piece, tabled in Dallas, into a real fashion remote from Trophy Club, where suburban student Jane turns into 'Shoesea' Superhero--
"Shoenami J"!
