The Egyptians built their pyramids The Romans did what they did Now everything's come down to this It's just you and I, our kin! We could send a million to the moon But why can't I get on with you? Cellophane around my mouth Stops the anger sipping out Our deaf and dumb dinners Gravy in the mud No singles, just fillers Sometimes I wish I could But I can't behave I know it's not the heathen in me It's just that I've been bleeding lately, Internally Don't turn to me, Bite your tongue, the torrid weapon You could learn a useful lesson What's so great about the Great Depression Is it a blast for you? Blasphemy Words cut like a knife through Vaseline You can't really mean what you mean When you say what you say So tourettes make them come out that way, Wish I was here well I wish you weren't Your gift of anger's better burnt If nothing's said then nothing's learnt I though I wasn't but I'm really hurting Our deaf and dumb dinners, There's gravy in the mud And I can't behave No, it's not the heathen in me It's just that I've been bleeding lately, Internally Don't turn to me Bite my tongue, the torrid weapon We could learn a useful lesson What's so great about the Great Depression Was it a blast for you, Blasphemy A great adventure Christmas in the snow Senile Dementia maybe, what a way to go I can't behave I know it's not the heathen in me It's just that I've been bleeding lately, Internally So turn to me Bite your tongue, your torrid weapon We could learn a useful lesson In a greatness great depression It's not a blast for me, It's blasphemy

February 21Feb 21 COFFEE TEA & SYMPATHY Roundhouse London OCT 19' _qkc6bNd8RQ?si=-vnbrB3JIO-XJTQa Video thanks to Chris Naworocktsie COFFEE TEA & SYMPATHY Coffee, Tea and Sympathy" by Robbie Williams seems to be a song about a troubled relationship and a struggle with personal identity. The lyrics express a sense of powerlessness, as the narrator finds themselves breaking the girl they're involved with, while feeling half undressed and not being true to themselves. In the verses, there is a clear tension between the narrator's desires and the expectations placed upon them. They reject the idea of being a savior or needing love, indicating a detachment from emotional connection. The line "If I ever did, don't answer kid, I've only lies to sell you" suggests a pattern of dishonesty and a fear of being vulnerable. The chorus reflects the aftermath of the relationship, where the narrator feels a mix of regret, longing, and a fear of facing the consequences of their actions. The walk of shame symbolizes the guilt and shame they carry. The forgetting of the person's name shows the emotional detachment and superficiality of the encounters. The bridge emphasizes the narrator's sensitive nature, highlighting their aversion to being objectified. The use of the metaphor "coffee and tea and sympathy" suggests that all they take from their encounters are shallow comforts, lacking genuine emotional connection. Overall, "Coffee, Tea and Sympathy" explores themes of emotional detachment, internal conflict, and the consequences of superficial relationships. It delves into the complicated dynamics of personal identity and the desire for deeper connections. https://www.songtell.com/robbie-williams/co...ea-and-sympathy Edited February 21Feb 21 by Sydney11
