It's not publicity that ruins them - it's producers. All of her live stuff whether her auditions, or these sessions are wayyy better than her recordings - I think they get scared to let an artist be themselves because then who would need producers?
She's a modern day Bob Dylan. Only she can actually sing too. Her story telling in her songs is beyond compare. Emotionally gripping and impactful. There aren't many like her.
Lucy, your morose prose is haunting yet beautiful. From Tea and toast, that celebrates life to this chilling ballad that screams futility, I am riveted by your talent of expression. I realize the possibility of this message getting to you is slim, however, your words inspire me that I can move mountains. Your poetry has inspired me. I wish you love and offer you my gratitude. Agape. you are a beautiful artist.
Lyrics: She was so clever for her age as a kid She took pride in everything she ever said and did She was born as an angel Ticked every box on the list How could someone so beautiful end up like this? She was bought up in an everyday council estate Had friends and family who were never too far away Even as a kid she'd sometimes lose her temper And if attention’s being given Guaranteed she's in the centre School was a struggle Result of her behaviour Excluded for the fights The same a few days later 'Cause when she got angry, she'd flip, see red "You're too pretty for the violence," her mum always said She had high aspirations She was chasing the dream Until her first conviction at the age of fourteen She nearly killed a girl just for looking the wrong way Smashed her head so hard against the ground She was unconscious for days Passers-by stop to witness the torture While she stamped on the head of a policeman's daughter No remorse, for the course, of a magistrate's court It was everybody else's fault of course What you doin' with your night? You're too young to ruin your life What you doin' with your life? You're too young to die tonight After that things began to slip out of grip And her grades were failing but she didn't give a shit She was top dog at school And all the girls were scared And when she walked through the corridors all the boys stared She craved to be wanted, she didn't care how She wanted everything including this guy Ben she liked now He was 19, liked fighting, and smoking the green He was a dealer, had a beamer She thought he was a dream She got his number, hey you OK? Text back, Chelsea Price It was Monday they agreed to meet up on Friday night She played it cool The whole week she wondered what to wear She planned her jewellery, her make-up Her shoes and her hair The days went so slow, and school was so boring But before she knew it, it was already Friday morning She was nervous and scared, but in a good way She had no idea that this was no ordinary day When she walked down the stairs, it was seven o'clock He was coming at eight, she had to iron her top Seven forty five came and she looked gorgeous Rapunzel let out too early from the fortress What you doin' with your night? You're too young to ruin your life What you doin' with your life? You're too young to die tonight She gets in the car, says, "Hi." They drive off They head to a car park, where he can skin up She gets into conversation, nods and smiles And she feels so happy and not even shy A girl pulls up, she sees Ben and screams He puts the car in gear and gets ready to leave This girl gets out of the car and stands in front She screams, "That's my fucking boyfriend, get out you little ...!" Chelsea turns to Ben who just shrugs She don't believe her She's never been scared and she's not today either She puts her hand on the door and gets out to fight She's angry now this bitch has just ruined her night The two girls clash, hair pulling, fists flying Chelsea sees blood gushing The other steps back crying Chelsea grins as she thinks she's won Then she looks at Ben's face who's completely stunned Then there's a pain in the middle of her stomach The blood's on her t-shirt The other girl starts running Chelsea's heart thuds, panic sets in more As she looks down at the pool of blood And there's a knife on the floor What you doin' with your night? You're too young to ruin your life What you doin' with your life? You're too young to die tonight She hears tyres screech, she's losing so much blood Ben's car's gone, he's got a boot full of drugs She lies there, eyes wide open, facing the sky Thoughts float out of her mind as she questions why Her last movements are the tears she's crying She thinks about her family as she lies there dying She's alone on her own because of the violence Can't hear people or friends or help or sirens She whispers, "I'm sorry." There's no one on the way As she returns to an angel, and her soul slips away What you doin' with your night? You're too young to ruin your life What you doin' with your life? You're too young to die tonight
You know what really amazes me is how she can string all of these words together so quickly and enunciate so beautifully and this was at a time in her life when she was drinking. Back when I was drinking, a four word sentence might take me a full minute to say. Congratulations on your musical and sobriety success, Lucy, you’re an inspiration.
I remember your audition on XFactor in 2012- I was 13. I had started learning guitar 2 years before and I had found you on here around the same time you had auditioned. I learnt your songs from watching you play and 3 years later here I am, I recently just got your signed Album and T-shirt and I get a smile when I play along to these songs again. You're one of the reasons I continue to play guitar, it's refreshing and you know how to write a damn good song with a story. I really enjoy Uninspired from your new album- It's one I can't stop playing. Thank you for making more music, we need more of you.
I'm a cynical old 59 year old......this girl's songs has me in tears (Mountains). Just love her. I had to laugh when the director Brian thingy tried to get her to change her stage stance on X Factor. Lucy, thank you for being you. You are unique.
I related to Chelsea so much when I was younger. This song really woke me up and made me realise there are serious and severe consequences for my actions. 🙏💕
Wow. So raw and real as an artist. Why is this not a major hit? Please Please, Lucy don't change. This is as good as Emile Sande, Amy Winehouse and Eminem. Just totally amazing.
lucy, i know u arent active nowadays. but if u have the time can you write a song about a 11 year old girl that was abused by her mothers side and the mom herself, but the dad is the only one there for the girl. but he had his work to do too. the parents divorced. the mom ruins her life. dad has no relatives ...its just him and the girl. the end the dad and the girl could life together happily.could u make a song out of that? its kinda complicated. thanks p.s basically saying dads have a heart too. not just mother knows best.
Holy shit ... First time I'm hearing this song. For some reason, the next video didn't start to queue up afterwards. And I'm actually glad. I need a minute. Fuck ...
I get goose bumps when i listen to the parts when they die in this song and in Tea & Toast.. I love her, she is amazing! Seriously i can't stop listening to this
Stay in school this song is a life lesson every small thing u do effects the rest of your life don't ruin your life 💙 live u guys subscribe to my channel
What I love about this song is that it's not just an incredibly well written song but its also a cautionary tale. Amazing talent. Keep playing Lucy, with music like this you have a long career ahead of you
i made a music video to this a while ago if anyone wants to check it out! there's a couple other music videos on there too! - i also vlog if anyone is into that sort of stuff :) have a nice day x
Comedy Ninja haha how old are you kid? Ive been their done that got the teeshirt and sold it on ebay. Im saying that people who need to use weapons are cowards....if you are gonna fight thrn do it like a man...dont give the other guy any advantage or disadvantage...prove you are the stronger male/female....if you cant prove that you are the stronger harder man without pulling a weapon...you shouldnt be living that life.
Yes she does sing like an angel. What i said wasnt meant to be an insult. What i meant was that nowadays there r so many songs that have nonsense lyrics with a beat thrown behind them and they are put on the radio. Anytime i hear them I'm just like "What is this?" but with Lucy, her songs have so much meaning and u r just drawn in cuz u dont want to miss any part. She writes beautiful stories. idky so many ppl think im insulting her. if someone could tell me that would be awesome
that's because the major thing in her songs is the lyrics not the melody. If you truly listen to the lyrics of her songs they will not sound the same. quite the opposite actually.
totaly amazing song, it has meaning unlike other songs we have today, this should be being played on the radio, this will easy make it to the top of the charts!
My sister told me to listen to this song. She said it reminded her of me. I didn't expect the lyrics to drag me in and then make me cry, but it's an amazing song that i could very closely relate to. I'm a writer and this blew my mind.
Crazy I remember when I was living in the UK when she first came out with this song and I had no idea about Alcoholism I drank then, now years later in the USA and I'm a recovering alcoholic.... Crazy. I finally get the seriousness of this song. 💗
This girl needs so much more publicity, that song was incredible 😯
It's not publicity that ruins them - it's producers. All of her live stuff whether her auditions, or these sessions are wayyy better than her recordings - I think they get scared to let an artist be themselves because then who would need producers?
Robert Johnson well said
This girl just has talent, love it :)
2019 i just randomly started thinking of her again. i forgot how amazing she was
2021 for.me lol
Know the feeling *.*
@@sofakingwetodddid1685 2022 for me ;)
Same 2023. Let me remind you of her again lol
July 2023
I just can't understand how someone can put words together like this and make something so amazing
Why isn't she world famous this is pure awesomness, ive never seen skills like this... :D keep it up :)!
She is and I am one big fan from the middle east
yes, she is. fan from Europe -> Czech Republic =)) good music can be recognized everywhere
Cairo, Eygpt but currently living in Saudi Arabia I love all her music
MASSIVE fan from Dhaka, Bangladesh here.
I'm from Costa Rica, and I LOVE her music!
Such a true but sad message
Your truly right.
why is Lucy not a star??? She is fantastic !!!
Her songs make you listen to the lyrics
She's a modern day Bob Dylan. Only she can actually sing too. Her story telling in her songs is beyond compare. Emotionally gripping and impactful. There aren't many like her.
I love how she doesn't just sing... She tells a story!
One word: Unique
I love the stories shes telling, its so rare these days that lyrics mean so much. Never stop being awesome :)
I remember listening to this in year 7 and now I'm in year 11 where has the time gone?
Lucy, your morose prose is haunting yet beautiful. From Tea and toast, that celebrates life to this chilling ballad that screams futility, I am riveted by your talent of expression. I realize the possibility of this message getting to you is slim, however, your words inspire me that I can move mountains. Your poetry has inspired me. I wish you love and offer you my gratitude. Agape. you are a beautiful artist.
Shaughn Bradley beautiful comment! You put it better than I would have. So with that said, I second everything you said!
Always come back to listen to this
best lyricist ever, seriously you're songs are moving..
you should be in the charts already. can yoube in theears of all the people in the world? we needsomething like this in the US seriously.
I love this song and all the other songs she has done what a great song writer and singer

Thomas jacobsen
2017!
Charley Brown me in 2017
Wow, she is extremely talented. Good, true, songs paired up with an amazingly unique voice.
Lyrics:
She was so clever for her age as a kid
She took pride in everything she ever said and did
She was born as an angel
Ticked every box on the list
How could someone so beautiful end up like this?
She was bought up in an everyday council estate
Had friends and family who were never too far away
Even as a kid she'd sometimes lose her temper
And if attention’s being given
Guaranteed she's in the centre
School was a struggle
Result of her behaviour
Excluded for the fights
The same a few days later
'Cause when she got angry, she'd flip, see red
"You're too pretty for the violence," her mum always said
She had high aspirations
She was chasing the dream
Until her first conviction at the age of fourteen
She nearly killed a girl just for looking the wrong way
Smashed her head so hard against the ground
She was unconscious for days
Passers-by stop to witness the torture
While she stamped on the head of a policeman's daughter
No remorse, for the course, of a magistrate's court
It was everybody else's fault of course
What you doin' with your night?
You're too young to ruin your life
What you doin' with your life?
You're too young to die tonight
After that things began to slip out of grip
And her grades were failing but she didn't give a shit
She was top dog at school
And all the girls were scared
And when she walked through the corridors all the boys stared
She craved to be wanted, she didn't care how
She wanted everything including this guy Ben she liked now
He was 19, liked fighting, and smoking the green
He was a dealer, had a beamer
She thought he was a dream
She got his number, hey you OK?
Text back, Chelsea Price
It was Monday they agreed to meet up on Friday night
She played it cool
The whole week she wondered what to wear
She planned her jewellery, her make-up
Her shoes and her hair
The days went so slow, and school was so boring
But before she knew it, it was already Friday morning
She was nervous and scared, but in a good way
She had no idea that this was no ordinary day
When she walked down the stairs, it was seven o'clock
He was coming at eight, she had to iron her top
Seven forty five came and she looked gorgeous
Rapunzel let out too early from the fortress
What you doin' with your night?
You're too young to ruin your life
What you doin' with your life?
You're too young to die tonight
She gets in the car, says, "Hi." They drive off
They head to a car park, where he can skin up
She gets into conversation, nods and smiles
And she feels so happy and not even shy
A girl pulls up, she sees Ben and screams
He puts the car in gear and gets ready to leave
This girl gets out of the car and stands in front
She screams, "That's my fucking boyfriend, get out you little ...!"
Chelsea turns to Ben who just shrugs
She don't believe her
She's never been scared and she's not today either
She puts her hand on the door and gets out to fight
She's angry now this bitch has just ruined her night
The two girls clash, hair pulling, fists flying
Chelsea sees blood gushing
The other steps back crying
Chelsea grins as she thinks she's won
Then she looks at Ben's face who's completely stunned
Then there's a pain in the middle of her stomach
The blood's on her t-shirt
The other girl starts running
Chelsea's heart thuds, panic sets in more
As she looks down at the pool of blood
And there's a knife on the floor
What you doin' with your night?
You're too young to ruin your life
What you doin' with your life?
You're too young to die tonight
She hears tyres screech, she's losing so much blood
Ben's car's gone, he's got a boot full of drugs
She lies there, eyes wide open, facing the sky
Thoughts float out of her mind as she questions why
Her last movements are the tears she's crying
She thinks about her family as she lies there dying
She's alone on her own because of the violence
Can't hear people or friends or help or sirens
She whispers, "I'm sorry." There's no one on the way
As she returns to an angel, and her soul slips away
What you doin' with your night?
You're too young to ruin your life
What you doin' with your life?
You're too young to die tonight
i love her she is amazing
You know what really amazes me is how she can string all of these words together so quickly and enunciate so beautifully and this was at a time in her life when she was drinking.

Oh my god I didn't realise it was 4 years ago I feels so old 👵
IKR! And I posted this a year ago (: It's weird to think I've been playing her songs since I was a weasley 13 year old and now I'm turning 18.

BraveToTheBone that would be magic
BraveToTheBone i totally agree with you xx
Omg yes
I'm a cynical old 59 year old......this girl's songs has me in tears (Mountains). Just love her. I had to laugh when the director Brian thingy tried to get her to change her stage stance on X Factor. Lucy, thank you for being you. You are unique.
How are you doing now?
Brilliant. Devastated when she left X Factor. One of the best new singer/songwriter talents around. Keep it going Lucy you're already a star.
Unfortunately so many other young people I know need this song
A brilliant song writer, I cried the first time I heard this song! A female version of a Ed Sheeran! Keep on going and ur album will be on pre-order!!

Well i did not know real bards still existed. Glad someone is bringing story telling back into music and leaving great messages. well done
I've heard her sing just three songs... and each one brought me to tears....and the tears just linger .,..
What happened to Lucy! Industry spits her out and she's better than most!!! She reminds me of ed Sheeran and Phil Collins the way she writes!
Nothing 'Happened' to her. She is touring.... Go to her profile on here OR Instagram and it will show you. She's doing incredible.
Holy shit ...
First time I'm hearing this song. For some reason, the next video didn't start to queue up afterwards. And I'm actually glad. I need a minute. Fuck ...

Stay in school this song is a life lesson every small thing u do effects the rest of your life don't ruin your life 💙 live u guys subscribe to my channel
What I love about this song is that it's not just an incredibly well written song but its also a cautionary tale. Amazing talent. Keep playing Lucy, with music like this you have a long career ahead of you
She's always phenomenal
i made a music video to this a while ago if anyone wants to check it out! there's a couple other music videos on there too!
- i also vlog if anyone is into that sort of stuff :)

the music video you made is amazing ! :)

her and ed sheeran should do something together!
Cowards with guns and knives ruin parts of the world unfortunately.
Is shit pal. But thats the animals in people. Kill or be killed. But people who have to use weapons to be big are cowards.
Cowards? Go outside with a gun and knife I dare u lol!
Comedy Ninja haha how old are you kid? Ive been their done that got the teeshirt and sold it on ebay. Im saying that people who need to use weapons are cowards....if you are gonna fight thrn do it like a man...dont give the other guy any advantage or disadvantage...prove you are the stronger male/female....if you cant prove that you are the stronger harder man without pulling a weapon...you shouldnt be living that life.
Serious Storytelling there. Awesome singer-songwriter she is . Special .
Yes she does sing like an angel. What i said wasnt meant to be an insult. What i meant was that nowadays there r so many songs that have nonsense lyrics with a beat thrown behind them and they are put on the radio. Anytime i hear them I'm just like "What is this?" but with Lucy, her songs have so much meaning and u r just drawn in cuz u dont want to miss any part. She writes beautiful stories. idky so many ppl think im insulting her. if someone could tell me that would be awesome
female plan b ^^
All over her songs sound the same.
R u dizzy blud
Sounds like a female version of 21 pilots.
that's because the major thing in her songs is the lyrics not the melody. If you truly listen to the lyrics of her songs they will not sound the same. quite the opposite actually.
Jimbo, why you gotta be so rude? Her lyrics are amazing. listen to Tea and Toast by her. It's beautiful.
I think it's the similar pacing in the popular ones. Still love her, she's a brilliant lyricist.
totaly amazing song, it has meaning unlike other songs we have today, this should be being played on the radio, this will easy make it to the top of the charts!
I pray that whoever this song is about has both learnt their lesson and is finally resting in peace. Amazing Lucy!!
Ahhhhhh!!!! I love, love, LOVE THIS girl! I wanna get inside her head to see how she comes up with lyrics like this!
My sister told me to listen to this song. She said it reminded her of me. I didn't expect the lyrics to drag me in and then make me cry, but it's an amazing song that i could very closely relate to. I'm a writer and this blew my mind.
Oh my god Lucy Spraggan is the most amazing singer/rapper!!
Lucy , loved you for the last seven years just sat in the sunshine at camper calling listen to your amazing music ! And this song wow incredible 😘
Crazy I remember when I was living in the UK when she first came out with this song and I had no idea about Alcoholism I drank then, now years later in the USA and I'm a recovering alcoholic.... Crazy.
I finally get the seriousness of this song. 💗
I love her! Every time she sings, she tells a story. I'm hooked.
Absolutely love this song Lucy spraggan is a rare light in this world filled with dark
