"The Fear," already a hit in Britain, is a hummable single about vapid consumerism ("I want to be rich and I want lots of money/ I don't care about clever I don't care about funny") that honors both "Lost in the Supermarket" and "Material Girl." "Not Fair" laments that her otherwise excellent boyfriend is lousy in bed ("I look into your...
