60. Advertising Space
Released: 2005 (Intensive Care)

The second single of Rob's 9th album, the 7 million selling Intensive Care and is about the King himself, Elvis. I adored this track at the begining, but got soooooo bored of it very quickly and it is only recently that I have been able to really enjoy it again. Great vocal with brilliant lyrics. Dreadful video though :rolleyes:

Amazing performance from Wetten Dass :yahoo:



Here it is from Brazil :wub:

There's no earthly way of knowing
What was in your heart
When it stopped going
The whole world shook
A storm was blowing through you

Waiting for God to stop this
And up to your neck in darkness
Everyone around you was corrupted
Saying somethin'

There's no dignity in death
To sell the world your last breath
They're still fighting over
Everything you left over

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

And
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our profit s go to waste
All that's left in any case
<a href="http://www.lyricsmania.com">Lyrics</a>
Is Advertising space

Through your eyes
The world was burning
Please be gentle
I'm still learning
You seemed to say
As you kept turning up

They poisoned you with compromise
At what point did you realise
Everybody loves your life
But you ahahh

Special agent for the man
Through watergate and vietnam
No one really gave a damn
Did you think the CIA did

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

And
No one learned from your mistake
We let our profits go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is Advertising space ooooohh

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

No one learned from your mistakes
We let our profits go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is Advertising space

I've seen your daughter
Man shes cute
I was scared but I wanted to
Boy she looks a lot like you

59. Love Somebody
Released: 2002 (Escapology)

Strangly, I never liked this song for the first few years. Always thought it was just 'ok', but now I adore it. Such an big epic song and I would do anything to see it live in a stadium full of people. It would be AMAZING. :wub: :wub: :wub: Love the music, lyrics, his voice. It's just great. ^_^

Always and forever is forever young
Your shadow on the pavement
The dark side of the sun
Gotta dream the dream all over
And sleep here tight
You don't wanna sing the blues
In black and white

And it's hope that spring's eternal for everyone
If it ain't broken break it or the damage done

Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
There's just no pleasing me
Trying to love somebody
Just want to love somebody right now
Baby lay your love on me

Violet in the rainbow just melt away
There's not enough minutes in the hour
Or hours in the day
The song played in a circle that never skips a beat
The stranger in a country that I have yet to meet

And it's hope that springs eternal for everyone
<a href="http://www.lyricsmania.com">Lyrics</a>
Got a lifetime in a second oh the damage done

Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Guess there's just no pleasing me
I want to love somebody
Just want to love somebody right now
Baby lay your love on me

It'll come in your sweet time, Lord
I just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind, Lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love, only love, will set you free

I wanna love somebody
Wanna love somebody right now
There's just no pleasing me
I wanna love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Lay lay, lay your love on me

It'll come in your sweet time, Lord
I just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind, Lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love, only love, will set you free

love somebody definately a good choice

58. Summertime
Released: 2001 (Mike Bassett England Manager Soundtrack) and 2006 (Rudebox album)

I have always adored the original of this song, from the Mike Bassett England Manager Soundtrack. It was re-recored for the Rudebox album, and produced by mega producer William Orbit, but it lost the special something the original had. It was just too over-produced imo, the original was so simple and perfect. His vocal was also nowhere near as good. Still a great song though. :wub:

A nice slideshow with the song B)

This is how I pray for the summer time
This is how I pray for the summer
Got my my glass of shandy
Now I feel fine
This is how I pray in the summer

If the more you pray
The more you stay
The less it’s gettin you down

If the more you pray
The more you stay
The less it’s gettin you down

Autumn time leaves fallin’ all around
Wintertime follows suit
Little bunnies freezin’ in the snow
Winter’s such an ugly brute

Mid city blues gettin’ you down
Take a break from the strain
Get out your card
And drink a glass of wine
Admit it you feel great
It’s the summertime
<a href="http://www.lyricsmania.com">Lyrics</a>

This is how it feels in the summertime
This is how I feel in the summer

Got my glass of shandy
Now I feel fine
This is how I play, yeah

This is how I feel in the summertime
This is how I feel in the summer
Got my glass of shandy
And I feel fine
This is how I play, yeah

And if your love has met it’s sad refrain
Believe me you will love again
All the best laid plans of my mice and men wrong
It’s written in this song, oh

This is how we feel in the summertime
This is how we feel in the summer
What’s mine is yours
What’s yours is mine
This is how I play, yeah

This is how we feel in the summertime
This is how we feel in the summer
Take it back to the summer of 89
This is how I play, yeah, oh

This is how we feel in the summer, oh

Spoken:
The Mondays, the Roses
Blocking all your noses
Wearing baggy clothes
In our Buffalo poses
Bank tellers, stroppy little fellas
Loved up in the clubs
Of football thugs
No malice
A dicky dread locks
Boozin’ off your socks
Big fish little fish
Card board box
Gimme french kiss
I’ll love you from the rain
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
I got shivers
Down my spine

summertime was ruined for me by the remake in rudebox

summertime was ruined for me by the remake in rudebox

 

You should do what I did, on my itunes where I listen to my music on my computer, I edited it and now the original Summertime is on Rudebox. ^_^

57. United
Released: 2000 (Supreme single)

This is such an AMAZING song, I absolutelly love it. It sooo should've been a single, a sure-fire #1 hit imo. It's just such an uplifting song, and I just love the big fast ending. :wub: Always puts me in such a great mood :dance: :yahoo:

Here is the one and only very rare live performance of the song, from the Pepsi Chart show. Be wanred it is mimed (yes I know, Robbie miming is very rare), but it is still brilliant nonetheless. :yahoo:

You sit and scream at all the scandal
That put the monkey on your back
Don't put your idols on a mantel
You'll only want your money back

Don't slap my face and call me brother
Lend a hand and knock me out
So one disciple to another
What's this really about

Are we united?
'Cos I'm really not that sure
When you've decided
Spread some love and ask for more

I sit and think about my maker
And what he's got in store for me
I wanna be a right-on daddy
Protect my wife and family

Are we united?
'Cos I'm really not that sure
When you've decided
Spread some love and ask for more

<a href="http://www.lyricsmania.com">Lyrics</a>
Are we united?
'Cos I'm really not that sure
When you've decided
Spread some love and ask for more

Runnin' out of love
Got a pain in my head
It's bringing me down
God send me something

Got a gun on my hip
Real tight grip
Don't give me no lip
Boy send me something

When a woman needs a man
Man do what you can
Lend them a hand
And send them something
Send them something

Are we united?
'Cos I'm really not that sure
When you've decided
Spread some love and ask for more

Have you decided
To spread some love and ask for more

Have you decided
To spread some love and ask for more

56. Big Beef
Released: 2003 (Sexed Up single)

Again, a B-side that is superor to the actual single. A really brilliant song, Rob wrote the music and the words to as well. Such a great catchy pop gem :wub:

On the road to Damascus
I met you and the task was thankless
We were carefree and classless
And then you changed
I}m nouveau rich
What can I do

You're legionnaires on a summer breeze
It's who you do
You had something to put to me now
I got something I'm gonna stick in you

I couldn't give a flying toss 'bout the relatives you lost
I think it's better that
Your bloodline stops from here
On in and
Whoops there I go again
With friends that I wanna rip apart

Limb by limb
Soak the skin with paraffin
Drop a row
Hit'n the limb
And Max let's see what happens
Hey now you're getting in my way now
You're a waste of time
You're a waste of time

You got under my radar
You said kicking shins in the clock end
Was just a phase so I paged ya
And you became my new best friend
For a while

I should have known you were a psychopath
It's who you do
I was lonely we were having a laugh
Should have known but worshipped a few

I couldn't give a flying toss 'bout the relatives you lost
I think it's better that
Your bloodline stops from here
On in and
Whoops there I go again
With friends that I'd like to tear apart

Limb by limb
Soak the skin with paraffin
Drop a row
Hit'n the limb
Oh Max let's see what happens

Hey now there's nothing left to say now
You're just a waste of time

55. Baby Girl Window
Released: 1997 (Life Thru A Lens album)

Such a beautiful track with such amazing lyrics. So sad. Like every track on LTAL I adore it, but it is probebly my second least fave track behind Clean. ^_^

I've got your rainbows seen your sunbeams
I know a place where heaven breathes
And it's through her window
Your baby girl's window

I know you're happy where you are
Singing to the moon talking to the stars
Through her window
Your baby girl's window

There's finger marks around her soul
But your laughter fills the hole
Through her window
Your baby girl's window

Aaah I wish you would stay
Aaah to see what she made of herself

People say you were gone t oo soon
I see your face when flowers bloom
Through her window
Your baby girl's window

I'm looking for the words to say
Something to take the pain away
Through her window

Aaah I wish you would stay
Aaah to see what she made of herself

54. Lovelight
Released: 2006 (Rudebox)

This is such a great cover. The original song is bland and forgettable but Rob brough it to life and made it into a classic. Deserved to be #1 for weeks on end but only got to #8 :rolleyes: A huge hit elsewhere though. :yahoo:

A live performance from Australia, not great quality I'm afriad. <_<

what am i supposed to do
to keep from goin under?
now you're making holes in my heart
and yes it's starting to show
i've been holding back
is it any wonder?
since you walked right into my life
and interrupted my flow

chorus:
and i wanna know
baby when you're with me
who do you think you're fooling?
making me feel so sure
turnin your lovelight down again
why don't you let me be?
you don't know what you're doing
making me feel so sure
turning your lovelight down again

(did it again, did it again)

baby i've got to know
are we gonna make it?
laying down beside me tonight
<a href="http://www.lyricsmania.com">Lyrics</a>
do whatever you feel
baby you're in control
where you gonna take it?
don't you think that i do you right?
you know darn well that i will

(chorus)

baby you turn the lovelight down
and i don't know
just how long i can stick around
girl i need more
and it ain't just easy girl
but i don't know what i can do
cause i found
it ain't love this time around

keep turning down your lovelight
did it again

53. Sin Sin Sin
Released: 2005 (Intensive Care)

Such a great pop song, especially live. :wub: This song flopped in the UK. It is his lowest charting and worst selling single ever there, which just proves what a joke the charts are. :rolleyes: This song is brilliant. Such an amazing beat to it, Here it is from Leeds :wub:

Don't let your eyes tell the brain
You should feel ashamed
Everyone needs it baby
And I feel the same
Didn't quite catch your name
Hush hush hush don't say a thing
Lets see what the night will bring
It might be everything

Oh it hurts when you're too blind to see
Please don't read my mind I tell the truth to me

Sin sin sin look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer of love
And life deep inside

Hush hush hush
To speak in a sin
And neither of us need rescuing
Just relax
It's what Jesus would do
We're made in his image baby
Let's ride this thing through
<a href="http://www.lyricsmania.com">Lyrics</a>

Oh it hurts 'when you're to blind to see
What about us? Well it was just for me

Sin sin sin look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer of love
And life deep inside

I won't sing of amore
It don't sound sincere
Love is a cliché
But if it's not here I'll disappear

Sin sin sin look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner I'm just after a glimmer of love
And life deep inside

It's love great sex joy
I love you, you love my hate
And it feels inside my
Feels inside
Feels inside

just watched that Leeds performance of Sin, and jesus, the song is AMAZING live :wub:

 

I remember in Dublin, everyone was jumping up and down with the chorus. So underrated :wub:

yeah was great...though i got a very freaked out look from clare on her guitar...my friends paid me out for days -_-

Scotty, why suddenly this is going so fast? :lol: I have no time to reply. :lol:

 

I'm glad Big Beef is on good position in here. :D

 

And I never though Baby Girl Window could be so close to the songs like SSS and United. :huh:

I just went on a posting spree for some odd reason :lol:

 

I want to get into the top 50 ^_^

52. Let Love Be Your Energy
Released: 2000 (Sing When You're Winning)

Such a great song. Love the animated video and it is especially brilliant live. :wub:

Here it is from Knebworth :wub:

Out of a million seeds
Only the strongest one breathes
You made a miracle mother
I'll make a man out of me
Daddy where's the sun gone from the sky?
What did we do wrong, why did it die?
And all the grown ups say 'sorry kids we got no reply'
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I've got more than I need
When your love shines down on me
Every tear that you cry
Will be replaced when you die
Why don't you love your brother?
Are you out of your mind?
Daddy where's the sun gone from the sky
What did we do wrong, why did it die
And if you've got no love for me then I'll say goodbye
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I've got more than I need
When your love shines down on me
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I can't contain how I feel

When your love shines down on me
Well if you want it come and make a stance
So when it's in your hands
People show me love
Well if you want it come and make a stance
So when it's in your hands
People show me love
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I got more than I need
When your love shines down on me
If you're willing to change the world
Let love be your energy
I can't contain how I feel
When your love shines down on me

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

I have shamed him with my speed. That's why. -_-

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
