90. Teenage Millionaire

Released: 1997 (Lazy Days Single)

 

An a really great rock song, one of the rockiest tracks Rob has ever done, and it is amazing live. The opening lines of the track with the American women talking are very funny. Sadly, there is no vid available on youtube but here is a great performance from another site. :cheer:

 

Teenage Millionaire LIVE :wub:

75. By All Means Necessary

Released|: 2001 (Sing When youre Winning)

 

This is a brilliant song with really touching lyrics of the amazing 'Sing When You're Winning'. Here is a vid of it. :D

 

 

 

Any idea who he wrote this song about...I wonder if they recognise themselves............ :unsure:

I love My Culture. :wub:

 

 

So underrated. Should have been such a massive hit. :(

This is still going... :lol:

 

 

would have to move to actually be called "going" :unsure:

I love My Culture. :wub:

So underrated. Should have been such a massive hit. :(

Did Rob write My Culture or was it a joint effort with One Giant Leap......I think that track is one of the best

Saw a recent comment posted by some guy on BBC Ceefax who said that the charts mean nothing anymore as what's in the charts is rubbish anyway.....& I have to totally agree with him...

Any song nowadays with any substance makes little impact in the charts....

Delores O'Riordan has a new album ' Are You Listening ' out at the moment which has some pretty good songs in it & it is not doing well at all...I personally like it but my taste is obviously rubbish.

 

Rob seems to have loads of songs that could have been hits....but Im wondering what they call a hit in the UK & Ireland anymore.....I have in fact given up listening to the charts & I just buy what I like & that is why I hope Rob continues to make the kind of music that he gets pleasure from because comercially I am wondering in the long run if it will make any difference either way....

Rob wrote the lyrics he sings Tessa, most of those lyrics come from his classic poem 'Hello Sir' which is a hidden track on his first album 'Life Thru A Lens' in case you were'nt aware.

 

I agree, he has so many potential hit songs, espeically on his first 3 albums. ^_^

14 days untill my birthday :P

 

Really? :o :lol:

 

I might as well wait till then to do #1/ :P

27. Chemical Devotion
Released: 2005 (Misunderstood B-side)

This song is seriously one of the best he's ever written and my 3rd favourite track he has ever done with Stephen Duffy. MILES better than most of the songs on Intensive Care. -_- It is like sooooooo many of his B-sides better than so many singles and album tracks, yet most of the public will never even hear it <_< It is just such a great rock track. :wub:

It’s in the laxative they’re cutting in the cocaine baby
It’s in the heroin, the ecstasy they’re mixing lately
Give me the boys and girls in bathrooms getting plenty friendly

With just the thought of us debauched and in the missionary

Watch me out of my skull
Watch me out of my mind
I’m out of control
But I’m still alive
Go get me cigarettes
Watch the circus pass by
Twos up on an eighth
All back to mine

What a feeling
Got steep my sweet dysfunction
I’ll keep on kneeling
For my chemical devotion
Let me kiss the ceiling
It’s just a notion for you
More than a feeling
That sweet devotion for you

It’s in the black sick and the choking on the blood and your
tears
It’s in the echo of the jackdaw ringing in your ears
Watch me out of my gates
Ill advised, unprepared
No one gave a $h!t
When nobody cared
Another wasted talent
But that’s just fine
Two’s up on an eighth
All back to mine

What a feeling
Got steep my sweet dysfunction
I’ll keep on stealing
For my chemical devotion
Don’t kiss the ceiling
More than a potion for you
More than a feeling
That sweet devotion for you

I can’t take the fever from you
I don’t want to neither
They’re dropping science on you
You just need a breather
I’ll be looking over you

Overlooking me
It’s all in God’s time
All back to mine

What a feeling
Got steep my sweet dysfunction
So appealing
This chemical devotion
Got to kiss the ceiling
More than an ocean for you
More than a feeling
That sweet devotion for you

Shallow in the deep end
Got steep my sweet dysfunction
And I can depend
On chemical devotion
It’s like my best friend
That keeps the world in motion
I’ve got to defend
My chemical devotion
