It's cockney rhyming slang Lundi - I don't know if you know what that is? - Khyber Pass means arse.

I didn't know Cockney rhyming slang but I do now :D . I've just googled it and some phrases I knew from somewhere suddenly make sense to me due to the examples there :dance: .

 

Thanks a lot.

Make Me Pure

 

So I 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 then why am I

I split my sides both times and laugh till 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 lies

Oh Lord, please make me pure

- not yet

"Make Me Pure" is a song by British pop singer Robbie Williams, released as the second single from his album Intensive Care in late 2005. It was written by Robbie Williams, Stephen Duffy, and Chris Heath.[1] It was first released in New Zealand and Australia as a promotional single intended to advertise the album. A video was shot with Williams performing in a garage, however, its performance was poor with focus on Williams' debut single "Tripping" from that album. It was featured on physical copies of the single "Tripping". A physical CD single was released exclusively in Mexico.

 

Background

The song deals with Williams asking God to make him pure—later in his life. The chorus is a translation of a line of Saint Augustine of Hippo, Da mihi castitatem et continentiam, sed noli modo!

 

Chart performance

"Make Me Pure" reached number-fifteen in the Netherlands, although it had never been released as a single. Due to airplay of the B-side song of the single "Tripping", it reached the Dutch Top 40 while "Tripping" and "Advertising Space" were also Top 40 hits. In Mexico, the song was released between "Advertising Space" and "Sin Sin Sin" to fill the gap left between these singles. The song was very popular on radio, reaching number twenty-seven; although video airplay was not very strong, the track reached number-nineteen on the Digital Sales chart.

I didn't go but remember watching online 2010. ^_^

From UTR 2 , this is a gorgeous song, written by Fil Eisler ( early band member with Rob & now writing film scores in LA & doing great )

 

 

 

 

My f*** You to You

 

Don't show your true colours

Let them lie, follow someone else's dream

One day I'll look back at this and die

But you won't know what it means

To never see me

Did we sail you down river?

Do you run around all day avoiding mirrors?

Do you find comfort in the hate?

Is this abuse too late?

My heart's just bleeding for you

And this is my f*** you to you

By the time you were into my blood

I was all of seventeen

You were the light of my life

And the darkness in-between

Whatever that means

Did they sail you down river?

Do they give you stuff to keep your head together?

When your faith took a call

What are you keeping it real for?

Dumb hearts lie bleeding for you

So this is a f*** you

I used to see you in my dreams

But I could not compete

Then you…

I've seen Fil pop up on Twitter now and again - he sometimes comments on Max Beesley's posts.

 

He always has kind things to say about RW and those times they had together.

Fil is doing really well for himself in LA , he looks so different from when he was a young guy back in the RW early days ..

Just read some parts of Somebody Someday about Fil yesterday. Crazy and amazing period just 1 year before my finding the RW world.

The book was interesting as it describes the band members quite well and Rob's relationship to Claire and Gary but also to Josie and David etc.

The Nobody Somedays dvd was one I really enjoyed, simply done & bared all & was not overproduced . I think it was released after the Somebody Someday book

The Nobody Someday DVD and the book Feel came just on the cusp of social media when there was still some mystery left in celebrity lives and before you knew every last detail of what was going to happen.

 

I just adore this song :heart:

 

 

 

SEXED UP

 

Loose lips sunk ships

I'm getting to grips with what you said

No it's not in my head

I can't awaken the dead

Day after day

 

Why don't we talk about it

Why do you always doubt that there can be a better way

It doesn't make me wanna stay

 

Why don't we break up

There's nothing left to say

I got my eyes shut

Praying they won't stray

Oh we're not sexed up

That's what makes the difference today

I hope you blow away

 

You say we're fatally flawed

When I'm easily bored

Is that OK?

Strike me off your list

Make this the last kiss

I walk away

 

Why don't we talk about it?

I'm only here don't shout it

Give 'em time, you'll forget

Let's pretend we never met

 

Why don't we break up?

There's nothing left to say

I got my eyes shut

Praying they won't stray

Oh we're not sexed up

That's what makes the difference today

I hope you blow away

 

Screw you

I didn't like your taste anyway

I chose you

That's all go to waste it

It's Saturday

I'll go out and find another you

 

Why don't we?

Why don't we break up?

There's nothing left to say

I got my eyes shut

Praying they won't stray

Oh we're not sexed up

That's what makes the difference today

I hope you blow away

I hope you blow away

I hope you blow away

"Sexed Up" is a song by British pop singer Robbie Williams, released as the fourth and last single from his album Escapology in late 2003. It was originally recorded for Natalie Imbruglia, who turned it down. Williams had earlier released it in 1998 in demo form as the B-side to his single "No Regrets".

 

There are two versions of the song, the album/single version and an unplugged version. The unplugged version has one different lyric line ("I'll lay a bet/that I'm okay" instead of "I can't awaken the dead/day after day" on the first verse) and the guitar solo before the bridge is one measure longer.

 

Chart performance

The single became another top-ten hit for Williams in the United Kingdom when it was released in November that year, peaking at number 10,[1] and it reached the top 20 in Australia, Denmark, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands.[2][3][4] In Brazil, the song saw massive popularity thanks to its inclusion in the soundtrack of telenovela Mulheres Apaixonadas, in which it played as the theme to the characters Diogo (Rodrigo Santoro) and Marina (Paloma Duarte), a young married couple plagued by infidelity. The single received a special limited release in Australia and New Zealand featuring a bonus live track, special packing and a bonus fold-out poster.

 

Music video

The music video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and features the actress Jaime King.

 

This article is very funny actually, so much is wrong it's actually including the fact they used a picture of Robin Williams instead of Robbie but at least the guy who found the CD actually appreciated the actual songs
