I love this song

 

Please dont' die

Let me lie down

Please don't wake me

Nothing's sacred

And no one saved me

In my black eye

I can feel it

Moving closer

Can't you hear it

The only gift you gave to me

Was self-fulfilling prophecy

I need to change the sounds

That shape my life

And if you die before I leave

What on earth becomes of me

Look around there's no one here

To love me and hold me

Take me dancing

I love music

Keep on singing

We won't lose it

Picture me there

Missing no one

If young hearts run free

Why can't we go on

Go on 'til they kick us out

We've everything to talk about

I could bring a song into your life

If you should die before I leave

What on earth becomes of me

Look around there's no one here

To love me and hold me

Maybe I've been away too long

I know I'm not always right but is that wrong

They say there's nothing I can do

But talk to strangers and wait for you

If you should die before I leave

What on earth becomes of me

Look around there's no one

To love me and hold me

If you should die before I leave

What on earth becomes of me

Look around there's no one

To love me and hold me

On the Robbie version he changes the lyrics.

 

"Christmas 1981, Christmas when it snowed".

 

He also changes to "leaving Greenbank Road" which was his or his Nan's address can't remember which - in Stoke-on-Trent

 

:P

She is Madonna is a much underrated song. Love it. Video was 'before its time'. I think if a young singer would have released Rudebox album these days it would be quite a success

 

You see the trouble with me

I'm a basket case

I don't think I can love, love, love

You see the trouble with you

Is your in love with me

What a strange thing to do

What a brave place to be

So we dive

On sunset strip

Our hearts so deep

I drown in it

And as it breaks

I swim through cracks

And leave with words

I can't take back

You see the trouble with me

Monkey see monkey do

There's no you in tomorrow

A better offer came through

You see the trouble with you

There's no trouble with you

So when you say that you love me

That stops me loving you

So she stays

On sunset strip

Our hearts so full

I drown in it

She's waiting for

My words to break

The one true love

I couldn't make

So she walks

That golden mile

Men will try

And catch her eye

We both know

What could have been

On sunset strip

Our broken dream

I love The Trouble with Me.

 

The lyrics are incredibly sad though.

I love The Trouble with Me.

I love it too Laura :wub: , the whole album is in my top three ..

 

I'm on a mission

To abuse my position

Abuse it with you

Love, I'm a cynical bitch

I'm gonna scratch that itch

With a bitch like you

Harder thinkers make me miserable

Everything is unforgivable

If not for you

I wouldn't come at all

Find a place to crash

(Boom boom, boom boom labida)

Move your phoney ass

(Boom boom, boom boom labida)

Love me like I'm cash

(Boom boom, boom boom labida)

You can feel the clash

(Boom boom, boom boom labida)

If there's a freak in here

Looking for someone like me

I fit their description

Perfectly

Boom boom boom

I bet they'll desert you

They would if they met you

Met you with me

Every move you make is poetry

They all fake what you do naturally

If not for you

I wouldn't come at all

Find a place to crash

(Boom boom, boom boom labida)

Move your phoney ass

(Boom boom, boom boom labida)

Love me like I'm cash

(Boom boom, boom boom labida)

You can see the clash

(Boom boom, boom boom labida)

Kiss me with your mouth

Teach me with your brain

All right

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Things that I say

When I say nothing at all

It leaves a taste in my stomach

And its no taste at all

I can sing, I can't dance

But it don't stop me at all

Its a ball and I'll call , if I call you at all

Love is the reason but it won't pay my rent

Only baloney fill your dish in the dent

I won't be happy till the moneys been spent

I forget to forget, oh forget, oh forget

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I'm glad he's not in that place anymore

 

I :heart: everything about this song, IC went on to sell 6.2 ml copies worldwide,

 

King of Bloke & Bird

 

 

What you do speaks so loud

I cannot hear what you say

Except for the occasional word

Sulphates a sentimental sight it bothers me

No longer king of bloke and bird

All of my life

Searching hard

Down in the wires

Of love

Summer me now summer my life away

Summon me onto another day

A hand through the clouds keeps

Knocking me down

It's no less than I deserve

They built museums I don't visit them

I've made enough trouble of my own

Into the night

Searching hard

Look for the light

Of love

Summer me now summer my life away

Summon me on to another day

Summer the evening, winter ways

Are falling down again

I sing from the chaos in my heart, my heart

Then comes the evening that

Makes life worth living

Shoving the shoes out in the light

She walks in, I can hear her

Tripping

 

First they ignore you

Then laugh at you and hate you

Then they flight you

Then you win

When the truth dies

Very bad things happen

They're being heartless

Again

I know, its gonna, there's gonna be violence

I've taken as much as I'm willing to take

Why do you think we should suffer in silence

When a hearth is broken there's nothing to break

You've been mixing

With some very heavy faces

They boys have done

A bit of bird

They don't kill their own

And they all love their mothers

But you're out of your depth son

Have a word

I know, its gonna, there's gonna be violence

I've taken as much as I'm willing to take

Why do you think we should suffer in silence

The heart broken there's nothing to break

All is wonderful in this life

Dreaming of the sun she warms

You should see me in the afterlife

Picking up the songs of lures

When you think we're lost, we're exploring

What you think is work because I'm adoring

You don't want the truth, truth is boring

I've got this fever need to

Leave the house

Leave the car

Leave the bad men where they are

I'll leave a few shells in my gun

And stop me starring at the sun

I know, its gonna, there's be gonna violence

I've taken as much as I'm willing to take

Why do you think we should suffer in silence

My heart is broken there's nothing to break

Loved Tripping - I still do.

 

It doesn't get played enough now at gigs does it?

 

Great song. :cheer:

Loved Tripping - I still do.

I still hear it on the radio though, love that song . He does the same old favourites every time , I like when he mixes it up a bit.. keeps it fresh

 

Make Me Pure

Some will sing a song to reel 'em in

It's a song I sung before and a song I'm gonna sing again

I mean every word, I don't mean a single one of them

Oh Lord, make me pure but not yet

Tell a joke, tell it twice

If no one else is laughing there, why am I?

I split myself both times and laugh until I cry

Oh Lord, please make me pure but not yet

I don't have to try, I just dial it in

I've never found a job that for me was worth bothering

I got a ton of selfish genes and lazy bones beneath this skin

Oh Lord, make me pure but not yet

Smoking kills, sex sells

I've got one hand in my pocket but the other one looks cool as hell

I know I'm gonna die, so my revenge is living well

Oh Lord, make me pure but not yet

I stopped praying so I hope this song will do

I wrote it all for you

I'm not perfect but you don't mind that, do you?

I know you're there to pull me through, aren't you?

So I look for love, I like the search

And I'll be standing for election all across the known universe

Every president gets the country she deserves

Oh Lord, make me pure but not yet

And I've been seeing somebody's wife

She said she'd leave him for me and I said that wasn't wise

You can't lie to a liar because of all the lies

Oh Lord, please make me pure but not yet

Because I've been home all day and Heart London is on - I've realised they still play Robbie quite a lot.

 

I don't know if that's normal or because of lockdown, they're leaning towards music that people know and feel secure with - but I heard Feel twice today between 7 am and 4 pm and Rock DJ. So he got three plays in the space of 9 hours. I also heard them play Feel twice yesterday too. Funny enough I haven't heard Angels which you would think would be an obvious choice.

 

It was nice to hear but unexpected. ^_^

I agree, the same in NL and Germany. Rob's songs a well feel songs (not all, but many). They also show regularly bits from his corona-oke sessions in TV. It is surprising that 30 years in business his actions are still worth a news. Some days ago his session with Gary made an entire article in one of Germany's most valued weekly broad sheets. The female thirtysomething author - I assume a TT and Rob fan - said that you could see why backthen Gary and Rob did not go on so well still now: Gary with conservative T-shirt and good haircut, Rob as if he just run away from jail (all funny and nicely meant)

I like a bit of Robbie more than usual in these days
