This song reminds me Me And My Monkey because we see Robbie here as a storyteller.

What other songs like this we do know? The 90's, The 80's, The BRITs. What else?

His story telling is one of my favourite things about his lyrics

 

Add Falling in Bed again to the list ^_^ great story telling there

 

"The Maitre' D "hello" seemed pleased to meet me "

"She lies on the bed with her hands in her head & she screams "

 

 

this is very sad but beautiful song

this is very sad but beautiful song

 

 

Yes, it's gorgeous :)

 

The lyrics to Do Me Now definitely have me bamboozled :lol: , mega tune though :music:

 

 

Liberate a whale

Liberate Wales

Liberate abortion

Liberate males

I don't mind

Ban the bomb

Bang a gong

Ban fake fur

Put a real one on

I don't mind

 

Oh my head

I'm moving to the Med

Those cats know how to boogie

This E's done nothing to me

Her retort was just a passing thought

Put the munchies down now Scooby

I’m leaving in an hour

You better do me now

 

Prosecute Gandhi

Persecute God

Elevate Bono

Eliminate Rod

I don't care

World War 4

The Beatles touring

And Chernobyl fallout

Global warming

I don't care

 

Oh my head

I'm moving to the Med

Those cats know how to boogie

This pill's done nothing to me

Her retort was just a passing thought

Put the munchies down now Scooby

I gotta catch a plane

You'd better do me now

 

In for me, in for me

You've all got it in for me

In for me, in for me

Don't tell me a story kid

You f***ing bore me

 

Oh my head

I'm moving to the Med

Those cats know how to boogie

This speed's done nothing to me

Her retort was just a fleeting thought

Put the munchies down now Scooby

Going in an hour

You better do me

 

Oh my head

I'm gonna stay in bed

This cat don't wanna boogie

The pills just pass right through me

Her retort was just a fleeting thought

Put the Scooby snacks down Dooby

I'm getting on a plane

You better do me now

Please help me with understanding the lyrics :)

 

'There's no need to trouble her you trouble her'

'Her' - who is who?

 

No one can shoot but everybody's scoring

What does it mean?

 

They told you not to meddle with the bass and The treble

There's dust on your needle and you think that

What does bass and treble mean?

What's dust he mean?

 

"No one can shoot but everybody's scoring" means everyone is taking drugs I think Alex.

 

Please help me with understanding the lyrics :)

Base/Treble/Dust could be street/slang names for drugs ( I have heard base is a term used for cocaine )

 

Another explanation might be as described here https://english.stackexchange.com/questions...meaning-of-bass

 

 

Laura, Tess, thank you for a help!

Always liked how Rob decribed and describes the drugs using different words for that.

 

Loved this and Jamie Theakston at the start.

 

They ere good friends back in the day.

 

This song always reminds me of Knebworth

Lonestar Rising

 

Bah-um, bah-um, bah-um, bah-um, bah-um

Sun is shining, so why am I feeling the cold?

Bah-um, bah-um

Not surprising, something has fallen from the fold

 

Bah-um, bah-um, bah-um

Lonestar rising, God only knows where I'll go

Bah-um, bah-um

Ohh, what timing and how blue is the tone

 

Bah-um, bah-um

 

Seems like I was always drunk

I lost myself in someone's song

And when all is said and done

I only wanna feel the sun

 

Bah-um

 

Every others passed to remind of the time

All the lovers living in limbo divine

Bah-um, bah-um,bah-um

Every reason has every reason to go

 

Bah-um, bah-um

All the seasons melt into one like the snow

Bah-um, bah-um

 

Seems like I was always drunk

I lost myself in someone's song

And when all is said and done

I only wanna feel the sun

 

Bah-um

No sensation, not even tears rolling down

Bah-um

Conversation, echoes like ghosts on the town

 

Bah-um, bah-um

Lonestar rising, God only knows where I'll go

Bah-um

Ohh, what timing and how blue is the tone

 

Bah-um, bah-um

 

Seems like I was always drunk

I lost myself in someone's song

And when all is said and done

I only wanna feel the sun

 

Bah-um

We have 'unusually' :rolleyes: weather here at the mo so I thought I would play this in greatful appreciation :lol:

 

 

 

Also remix version by Bod Beret

 

 

 

"Summertime"

 

This is how I pray in the summertime,

this is how I pray in the summer

Got my glass of shandy,

now I feel fine, this is how I pray yeah

 

The more you say, the more you pray,

the less it's getting you down

The more you pray, the more you stay, the less it's getting you down.

 

Auntumn time, leaves falling all around

Winter time follows suit

Little bunnies freezing in the snow

Winter's such an ugly bute

 

Mid-city bluss getting you down

Take a break from the strain

Get out your car,

drink a glass of wine

Admit it, you feel great

It's the summertime

 

This is how I play in the summertime,

this is how I pray in the summer

Got y glass of shandy,

now I feel fine, this is how I pray, yeah

 

This is how I pray in the summertime,

this is how we play in the summer

Got my glass of shandy

now I feel fine, this is how I pray, yeah

 

And if your love had met

its sad refrein

Believe me, you will love again

And all the best laid plans

of mice and men go wrong

You can hear it in this song

 

This is how I break for

the summer time,

this is how I play in the summer

What's mine is yours, yours is mine

This is how I pray, yeah, oh, yeah

 

You got the funky drummer in '89

This is how I pray, yeah, oh, woah

 

The Mondays, The Roses,

blocking all your noses

Wearing baggy clothes

and their buffalo poses

Bank tellers, dropping little fellas

Loved up in the clubs with

football thugs, no malice

I dig your socks

Big fish, little fish, carboard box

So give me French-kiss, I love you

Voodoo Ray

I dream of Santa Ana

on the road to Mandalay

 

In the summertime

Where the weather is hot

In the summertime

Where the weather is hot

On my mind, on my mind

In the summertime

Where the weather is hot

In the summertime

Summertime

When the weather is hot

In the summertime

On my mind

 

I got shivers down my spine

On my mind

Happiness is surface light

On my mind

On my mind

:wub:

 

 

 

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 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

Let every president get 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

 

 

Robbie Williams wrote "Make Me Pure" after turning 30 and feeling like he had a "spiritual void" in his life. The song is addressed to God, with Williams asking in the refrain: "Oh Lord, make me pure, but not yet." This is a paraphrase of a quote by Saint Augustine of Hippo, who once said: "Da mihi castitatem et continentiam, sed noli modo (Give me chastity and continence, but not yet)." Williams wrote this song with Stephen Duffy and Chris Heath. Before he collaborated with Williams on Intensive Care, Duffy was a member of both Duran Duran and The Lilac Time. Chris Heath, meanwhile, is a British author who spent almost two years working with Williams on his biography Feel, which came out in September 2004.

The music video for "Make Me Pure" depicts Williams and his band performing the song in a garage-turned-studio. It received minimal promotion at the time, with most television channels choosing instead to broadcast the video for the more popular A-side single, "Tripping."

"Make Me Pure" was the first single released from Williams' sixth album, Intensive Care. It was issued as a double A-side along with "Tripping" in the UK, with both songs peaking at #2. "Make Me Pure" also peaked at #15 in the Netherlands, despite not being released as an official single there.

Difficult to find live versions of this song , it's a lovely song

 

 

 

Something Beautiful

 

You can't manufacture a miracle

The silence was pitiful that day

 

A love is getting too cynical

Passion's just physical these days

 

You analyze everyone you meet

But get no sign, love ain't kind

Every night you admit defeat

And cry yourself blind

If you can't wake up in the morning

Cause your bed lies vacant at night

If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely

Can't control it, try as you might

May you find that love never leave you

May you find it by the end of the day

You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely

Something beautiful will come your way

 

The DJ said on the radio

Life should be stereo, each day

In the past you cast the unsuitable

Instead of some kind of beautiful, you just couldn't wait

All your friends think you're satisfied

But they can't see your soul no, no, no

Forgot the time feeling petrified, when they lived alone

 

If you can't wake up in the morning

Cause your bed lies vacant at night

If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely

Can't control it, try as you might

May you find that love never leave you

May you find it by the end of the day

You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely

Something beautiful will come your way

Some kind of beautiful

 

All your friends think you're satisfied

But they can't see your soul no no no

Forgot the time feeling petrified

When they lived alone

May you find that love never leave you

May you find it by the end of the day

You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely

Something beautiful will come your way
