I'm sure I've said this a million times but I'll say it again. ^_^

 

In 2008 - my Mum and I went up to Stoke -on -Trent for the weekend to check out all things Robbie.

 

The Red Lion pub was still open and not too tatty in those days.

 

We walked in on the Saturday evening and as I pushed the door open, the sound of RW Misunderstood was coming out the jukebox. It was the strangest thing. :lol: It felt like we were in a film.

 

We had a great night in there and an old fella in a long coat and Panamas hat tried to chat up my Mum. :lol:

 

We had such a laugh that night. Went for a curry in Burslem after I remember. ^_^

Another favourite

 

 

 

God gave me the sunshine

Then showed me my lifeline

I was told it was all mine

Then I got laid on the ley line

What a day, what a day

And your Jesus really died for me

Then Jesus really tried for me

 

UK and entropy

I feel like it's f***ing me

Wanna feed off the energy

Love living like a deity

What a day, one day

And your Jesus really died for me

I guess Jesus really tried for me

 

Bodies in the bodhi tree

Bodies making chemistry

Bodies on my family

Bodies in the way of me

Bodies in the cemetery

And that's the way it's gonna be

 

All we've ever wanted is to look good naked

Hope that someone can take it

God save me rejection from my reflection

I want perfection

 

Praying for the rapture

'Cause it's stranger getting stranger

And everything's contagious

It's the modern middle ages

All day every day

And if Jesus really died for me

Then Jesus really tried for me

 

Bodies in the bodhi tree

Bodies making chemistry

Bodies on my family

Bodies in the way of me

Bodies in the cemetery

And that's the way it's gonna be

 

All we've ever wanted is to look good naked

Hope that someone can take it

God save me rejection from my reflection

I want perfection

 

Bodies in the bodhi tree

Bodies making chemistry

Bodies on my family

Bodies in the way of me

Bodies in the cemetery

Bodies in the bodhi tree

Bodies making chemistry

Bodies on my family

Bodies in the way of me

Bodies in the cemetery

And that's the way it's gonna be

 

All we've ever wanted is to look good naked

Hope that someone can take it

God save me rejection from my reflection

I want perfection

 

Jesus didn't die for you

What do you want? (I want perfection)

Jesus didn't die for you

What are you on? (I need some)

Jesus didn't die for you

Jesus didn't die for you

Jesus didn't die for you

 

do you remember SOS from Progress? The lyrics reflected a lot of what is going on in the world right now

OMG !! , you are so right Elisabeth :o

 

Save our souls we're splitting atoms

Go tell Eve and go tell Adam

Liberate your sons and daughters

Some are gods and some are monsters

 

 

We'll get a five minute warning for divine intervention

With the satellites falling, prepare for ascension

Under mind control

We'll be practising our politics

Defending all our policies

Preparing for apocalypse

 

 

Don't let the hungry serpent see you no

She'll let you fall asleep then eat you whole

It's like a bullet to the head

 

 

It's an SOS, it's an SOS

Oh yes, oh yes, it's an SOS

It's an SOS, it's an SOS

Like a bullet in the head, it's an SOS

 

 

When the levee breaks

And Manhattan sinks

There won't be water fit to drink

When the winter's warm

And the summer's cold

The poison stops you looking old

 

 

You'll get a five second warning for divine and intervention

And the satellites are falling, prepare for ascension

As the earth looks on

The odds or probability

Of losing all capacity

To function it's hereditary

 

 

No antibiotic can save us now

We are the virus that we talk about

It's like a bullet to the head

 

 

It's an SOS, it's an SOS

Oh yes, oh yes, it's an SOS

It's an SOS, it's an SOS

Like a bullet in the head, it's an SOS

It's an SOS it's an SOS

Oh yes, oh yes, it's an SOS

It's an SOS, it's an SOS

Like a bullet in the head, it's an SOS

 

 

(Without criticism

No administration and no country can succeed

And no republic can survive)

Like a bullet in my head

Like a bullet in my head

 

 

It's an SOS, it's an SOS

Oh yes, oh yes, it's an SOS

It's an SOS, it's an SOS

Like a bullet in the head, it's an SOS

It's an SOS it's an SOS

Oh yes, oh yes, it's an SOS

It's an SOS, it's an SOS

Like a bullet in the head, it's an SOS

Me And My Monkey

Robbie Williams

There was me and my monkey

And with his dungarees and rollerblades

Smoking filter tips

Reclining in the passenger seat of my supercharged jet black Chevrolet

He had the soft top down

He liked the wind in his face

He said "Son, you ever been to Vegas?"

I said "No" he said "That's where we're gonna go,

You need a change of pace"

And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels

And the neon signs he said

"I left my wallet in El Segundo"

And proceeded to take two grand of mine

We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel

Asked the bell boy if he'd take me and my monkey as well

He looked in the passenger seat of my car

And with a smile he said

"If your monkey's got that kind of money sir,

Then we've got a monkey bed"

Me and my monkey

With a dream and a gun

Hoping my monkey

Don't point that gun at anyone

Me and my monkey

Like Butch and the Sundance Kid

Trying to understand

Why he did what he did

Why he did what he did

And at the elevator I hit the 33rd floor

He had a room up top with a panoramic views

Like nothing you've ever seen before

He went to sleep in the bidet and when he awoke

He ran his little monkey fingers through the yellow pages

Called up escort services and ordered some okey doke

Forty minutes later there came a knock at the door

In walked this big, bad-ass baboon into my bedroom

With 3 monkey whores

"Hi, my name is Sunshine. These are my girls.

Lace my palm with silver baby oh yeah

And they'll rock your world"

So I watched pay per view and polished my shoes and my gun

Was diggin old Kurt Cobain singin' 'bout lithium

There came and knocked at the door and in walked Sunshine

"What's up?" - "You better get your ass in here boy

Your monkey is having too much of a good time"

Me and my monkey

Drove in search of the sun

Me and my monkey

Don't point that gun at anyone

Me and my monkey

Like Billy the Kid

Trying to understand

Why he did what he did

Why he did what he did

Got tickets to see Sheena Easton

The monkey was high

Said it was a burning ambition to see her before he died

We left before encores

He couldn't sit still

Sheena was a blast baby

But my monkey was ill

We went to play black jack

Kept hittin' 23

Couldn't help but notice this Mexican just staring at me

Or was it my monkey?

I couldn't be sure

It's not like you've never seen a monkey in rollerblades

And dungarees before

Now don't test my patience cause we're not about to run

That's a bad-ass monkey boy and he's packing a gun

"My name is Rodriguez" he says with death in his eye

"I've been chasing you for a long time amigos

And now your monkey is gonna die"

Me and my monkey

Drove in search of the sun

Me and my monkey

We don't wanna kill no Mexican

But we got ten itchy fingers

One thing to declare

When the monkey is high

You do not stare

You do not stare

You do not stare

Looks like we got ourselves a Mexican stand off here boy

And I ain't about to run

Put your gun down boy

How did I get mixed up with this f***in' monkey anyhow
