Singer admits to feeling unsure of US tour

Lily Allen has admitted that she is sick of singing songs from her debut album 'Alright, Still'.

The singer, who is currently touring the LP in the US, said she is in two minds over whether to stay in the States or head home and write a second album.

She wrote on her MySpace blog: "Life is weird at the moment. Is it really important to break America? If it is I have to write my life off for the next 9 months, playing the same gig answering the same questions to different journalists and such. It's either that or I could go home, sit on my boyfriend's sofa for a bit, then write a new album. What d'you reckon?"

Allen went on: "As much as I love driving across America and doing the same thing every night, I'm bored slightly. It's the songs. Since January I've toured Japan, New Zealand and Australia, I've done a European tour, gone to Paris Fashion Week, done a UK tour and now I'm on a US tour which goes on until May. I don't know what to do."

The singer's debut album recently went into the top 20 of the Billboard chart.
