Amy Winehouse - October Song - Lyrics
October Song is one of few songs on Frank that isn't about Chris. October Song is about when Amys beloved bird Ava died. It's such a great song that can't be played too many times.

Today my bird flew away
Gone to find her big blue jay
Starlight before she took flight
I sung a lullaby of bird land everynight
Sung for my Ava everynight
Ava was the morning, now she's gone
She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
Birds surround her sweet soun
And Ava flies in paradise
With dread I woke in my bed
To shooting pains up in my head
Lovebird, my beautiful bird
Spoken 'til one day she couldn't be heard
She just stopped singing
Ava was the morning, now she's gone
She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
Birds surround her sweet soun
And Ava flies in paradise

In the sanctuary she has found
Birds surround her sweet soun
And Ava flies in paradise
With dread I woke in my bed
To shooting pains up in my head
Lovebird, my beautiful bird
Spoken 'til one day she couldn't be heard
She just stopped singing
Ava was the morning, now she's gone
She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
Birds surround her sweet soun
And Ava flies in paradise

Amy Winehouse - Mr Magic - Lyrics
This song is about Amy being in love, probably about Chris. Although, as Amy likes making refernces to her infuences and Amy was into Hip Hop at the time, it can be about the rapper Mr Magic.

Every day i see you
My hands were made for you
And you always give me stress me free point of view
Pick you up after school
Chorus:´
Mr. Magic Take a token
Mr. Magic Of my love
Mr. Magic I see you through the smoke
Without you, a misery
Blue with a migraine
All the songs sound better when you're next to me
Hey, cause they come naturally
Chorus
Laying on my bed
I reach over for you
And you so fresh you even make the standards bloom
But its just to you through
Chorus
Mr. Magic
Mr. Magic
Mr. Magic
Waiting for the smoke to clear.
I'm waiting for the smoke to clear

Amy Winehouse - You sent me flying - Lyrics
You sent me flying is one of the songs from Frank that is about Amy's and Chris' breakup. Amy sings about how much she acted like someone else, by hunting him and trying to make him like her. But when he dumps me she realises that she's just not that into him. A bit like Tears dry on their own on Back to Black right? The rest of the records is about how heartbroken she is, but it's always one songs that's about that it really isn't that bad.
Amy also sings about how hard it was for them to keep working together after they broke up. Chris was the one she met when she at age 17 got her job at News of the world.

Lent you Outsidaz and my new Badu
while I was thinking you didn't have a clue
tough to sort files with your voice in my head
So then I bribed you downstairs with a malboro red
so now I feel so small discovering you knew
How much more torture would you have put me through?
you probably saw me laughing at all your jokes
or how I did not mind when you stole all my smokes
And although my pride is not easily disturbed
you sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
With you battered jeans and your beastie tee
Now I can't work like this with you next to me
And although he is nothing in the scheme of my years
it just serves to blugdeon my futile tears
And I'm not use to this, I observe, I don't chase
So now I'm stuck with consequences, thrust in my face
And the melodramas of my day delivery blows
that surpass your rejection it just goes to show
a simple attraction that reflects right back to me
so I'm not as into you as I appear to be
And although my pride's not easily disturbed
you sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
With you battered jeans and your beastie tee
Now I can't work like this with you next to me
His message was brutal but the delivery was kind
maybe if I get this down I'll get it off my mind
It serves to condition me and smoothen mi kinks
despite my frustation for the way that he thinks
and I knew the truth, when it came, would be to that effect
At least you're attracted to me which I did not expect
didn't think you get my number down and such
but I never hated myself for my age so much
And although my pride's not easily disturbed
you sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
With you battered jeans and your beastie tee
Now I can't work like this with you next to me

Interview with Amy 2007
The spring 2007, before Amy and Blake got married. Amy talks about Blake, her appearance, music influences and hangs out in a music store.
It's quite sad that she talks about that she's not ready to get married, although this is filmed only a month or so before she got married.
I have to admit that Amy and Blake are awfully cute in this one.

Lyrics - When my eyes
I've looked for the songs "When my eyes" lyrics for a long time and I found an almost full version on an Amy Winehouse forum. Check it out here! The song was written for Frank, but was cut out. It's about Chris and has the same theme as "Stronger than me" where Amy goes on about that he isn't a real man. Rough. She also sings about some of her influences like Frank Sinatra and Dinah Washington.
