Just look at this long list of musicians! And it's just a b-side... Wow.

 

 

& Look at the number of violins & violas in it . :o . The song must have been written for the IC album but never made the cut.

 

 

 

Great song this. B-)

 

 

HOTEL CRAZY

 

 

 

Everyone's suggesting, inferring, in bold type

The idiots and actually the minority

That I'm wasted, that I'm strung out

They all should be wondering why the hell I'm not!

 

I'm gonna speak my truth, I think I'm losing it

Feel kinda liberated, just a little bit

And I'm a Big Mac short of a happy meal

Not sure what to say or how to feel

 

Checking into Hotel Crazy,

Leaving all my bags in lobby

The velvet stairs don't make a sound

As we're heading up to higher ground

 

Holding onto something that's gone in the wind

Holding onto something that's gone in the wind

 

I've got the right to vote, and I can reproduce

And I can tell a lie, just like I tell the truth

I have crazy thoughts, I do crazy deeds

I have special times, for my special needs

 

I present myself as a normal dude

Look you in the eye when I talk to you

Just a touch of the old socio

Is it empathy I guess I'll never know

 

It's sensational, I really only care about me

And if it's the end of the road, I want a new road

And the only thing they should be checking out is my ass!

 

Checking into Hotel Crazy,

Leaving all my bags in lobby

The velvet stairs don't make a sound

As we're heading up to higher ground

 

Checking into Hotel Crazy, do disturb me

Gonna make you mad, gonna make you sad,

Gonna make you wanna be here

Holding onto something that's gone in the wind

Holding onto something that's gone in the wind

Holding onto something that's gone in the wind

Holding onto something that's gone in the wind

 

I think I can do it, I think I can do it

I think I can do it, I think I can do this

I think I can do it, I think I can do it

I think I can do this, I think I can do it

I love Hotel Crazy -it's actually my favourite song off that album

:heart: this one , great song live

 

 

 

DO YOU MIND

 

 

This is a song full of metaphors

All I be needing is

Tobacco and draw

Better let me into your

Country though

Then I can show you what

You're missing me for

I'm a night kind of animal

Got a receiver

What you testing me for

I was scared so I ate 'em all

They tasted good

But they make me look old

 

And ooh, you teach

Like a toothache,

I'm not here for my sake,

How long will this mickey take

And ooh,

There's heavy entertainment,

Out here on the pavement

The men about you gotta

Get away

 

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,

If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,

If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?

 

I'll think you're famous

If that's what ya want

But you can pick your

Own pulpit,

You must fill your own fonts

Bring some wine

And some sensodyne

Then you can be my

Favorite dodo

Anyone fancy Monaco

I'm a placebo they're

Chasing me fool

Don't be scared

You could eat 'em all

They taste good

But they make you look old

 

Ooh, you sick little cup cake,

You could be a keepsake,

You jukebox to generate

And ooh,

I'm heavy entertainment

In need of containment

I'm mad about you

Gotta get away

 

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,

If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,

If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?

 

Anyone fancy Monaco?

 

Go get a portable

Recliner bin

Must take a photo for sure

Got our our problems and

A real long name

And she gets high on

Rollin' roll-ups

 

And ooh, you teach

Like a toothache,

I'm not here for my sake,

How long will this mickey take

And ooh,

There's heavy entertainment,

Out here on the pavement

The men about you gotta

Get away

 

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,

If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,

If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,

If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,

If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?

 

 

 

Released 19 years ago today , the fantastic Come Undone

 

 

COME UNDONE

So unimpressed but so in awe

Such a saint but such a whore

So self aware so full of shit

So indecisive so adamant

I'm contemplating thinking about thinking

It's so over-rating just get another drink in

Watch me come undone

 

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street

I pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep

If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet

Because I'm scum

And I'm your son

I come undone

I come undone

 

So rock and roll so corporate suit

So damn ugly, so damn cute

So well trained, so animal

So need your love, so f*** you all

I'm not scared of dying I just don't want to

If I stop lying I'd just disappoint you

I come undone

 

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street

I pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep

If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet

Because I'm scum

And I'm your son

I've come undone

 

So write another ballad

Mix it on a Wednesday

Sell it on a Thursday

Buy a yacht by Saturday

It's a love song

A love song

Do another interview

Sing a bunch of lies

Tell about celebrities that I despise

And sing love songs

We sing love songs

So sincere

So sincere

 

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street

Pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep

If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet

Because I'm scum

I'm your son

I've come undone

I've come undone

I've come undone

I've come undone

I am scum

Love your son

I am scum

Love your son

 

You gotta love my sad song, my love song

My sad song, my love song

My sad song, my love song

 

 

 

Remember the first time I saw that video - blew me away

ACOUSTIC - really like the Candy version

 

 

 

Yes, agree.

You know, in fact Rob has more than 10 songs in country-style in his back catalog. Well, maybe a duet album with Taylor Swift at one point would be possible? :))

Just remembered the video I've done (14!) years ago.

Have an idea to do something new... Any advice for song?

How about Love Calling Earth as a duet, I love that song.

 

I would not mind seeing Rob doing some country , I think it would suit his voice , . Viva Life on Mars had that country sound to it

 

Love this performance,, he was on fire :wub:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love this version of Lovelight ( Soul Mekanik ) :heart:
