Un-Pallot-able

Some new female singer-songwriter type 'Nerina Pallot' was on the Heaven and Earth Show - a strangely secular Sunday morning religious show. She was asked about her new song to which she replied 'I didn't really know what it was about until after I'd written it...' So far, so vague. But the song's called 'Everyone's Gone To War.' The next line is 'don't know what we're fighting for.'
What did you think it was about?
They're hardly obscure, enigmatic lyrics are they? It's a Shiloh Pitt is what it is.
Possibly the most pointless thing I've seen since the hour long documentary about Pulp's 'Common People.' That song, as it turns out, is about a girl from Greece who had a thirst for knowledge. She studied sculpture at... oh, you know already. OK

Just had a listen to to 'Everyone's Gone To War' over on Ms. Pallot's MySpace page.

Bland production. Bland voice. Bland lyrics. I can't quite figure out which post-Britney girl singer she sounds like the most.

Apparently this is her second album. Her wiki-page describes the video to EGTW thusly:

"Pallot's most recent video http://www.video-c.co.uk/micrositedisplayfull.asp?vidref=neri002&page=watch&FileType=ADSLProg "Everybody's Gone to War", which includes cabbage-throwing goths and pineapple bombs, gets across a deeper message while at the same time being light-hearted and funny."

It's quite impressive how wrong Wikipedia can be sometimes...
