Robbie Williams lyrics
Album: Escapology [2003]
| Feel | |
|
Come on hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living.
Not sure I understand,
This role I've been given.
I sit and talk to god
And he just laughs at my plans,
My head speaks a language, I don't understand.
(chorus)
I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
'cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins, going to waste.
I don't wanna die,
But I ain't keen on living either.
Before I fall in love,
I'm preparing to leave her.
I scare myself to death,
That's why I keep on running.
Before I've arrived, I can see myself coming.
(chorus)
I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
'cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins, going to waste.
And I need to feel, real love
And a life ever after.
I cannot get enough.
(instrumental)
(chorus)
I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in,
I got too much love,
Running through my veins, going to waste.
I just wanna feel real love,
In a life ever after
There's a hole in my soul,
You can see it in my face, it's a real big place.
(instrumental)
Come and hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living,
Not sure I understand,
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand.
Not sure I understand.
Not sure I understand.
Not sure I understand.

| Monsoon | |
|
I've sung some songs that were lame
I've slept with girls on the game.
I've got my catholic shame
Lord I'm in purgatory
Basically it's all come-on top for me
I wasn't me when we met
You haven't lost my respect
I'm here to serve and protect
What shape of insanity
Keeps leading you back to me?
So put your hands across the water
Oh mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon
Don't wanna piss on your parade
I'm here to make money and get laid
Yeah I'm a star but I'll fade
If you ain't stickin your knives in me
You will be eventually
To all you sharons and michelles
With all your tales to sell
Save your meat money well
I'm glad that spending a night with me
Guaranteed you celebrity.
And I can't talk in a crowd
When I'm alone I'm too loud
You've done your daddy's proud
Thank you for keeping me company
You've all been so nice to me
So put your hands across the water
Oh mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon
Oh lord
I feel
Nothing
I know much smarter men
Never got this far
I got too many regrets
I've smoked too many cigarrettes
I've had more blondes than brunettes
I'm not expecting your symphathy
But it's all been too much for me
So put your hands across the water
Oh mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon
Repeat

| Sexed Up | |
|
Loose lips on ships
I'm getting to grips
With what you said
Know it's not in my head
I lay on bed
That I'm okay
Why don't we talk about it
Why do you always doubt that there could be a better way
It doesn't make me want to stay
Why don't we break up
There's nothing left to say
I got my eye shirt praying they won't stray
Oh! when I sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away
You said we're fatally flopped
When I'm easily bored
Is that okay?
Strike me off your list
Made this the last kiss
I'll walk away
Why don't we talk about it
I'm only here don't shout it
Given time we'll forget
Let's pretend we never meet
Chorus
Screw you I didn't like your taste
Anway, I chose you
Let's all gone to wasted saturday
I'll go out and find another you
Why don't we
Why don't we break up
There's nothing left to say
I got my eye shirt praying they won't stray
Oh! when I sexed up
That's what makes the difference today

| Get a Little High | |
|
Wake up in the middle of
In the thunder of a scream
And you realise that it was yours
You don't know what to tell them
'Cause you don't know where you've been
And you've been thereso many times before
It's only natural to feel like you're sinking
It's only human to be so unprepared
Don't worry baby, if you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through getting by
So you get a little restless and you get a little wasted
It's just a little lite entertainment
Embrace it, it might just save your life
You always say you're sorry
But you never know what for
And it's been happening more and more
Act your age and not your shoe size
And blah blah blah blah blah
That's your role model slam the door
So it's only natural to feel the guilt of a nation
It's only human when you're young you're gonna cry
Don't worry baby, if you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through getting by
So you get a little restless and you get a little wasted
It's just a little lite entertainment
Embrace it, it might just save your life
So where else can you go to
'Cause no one's given you the book
About what to say and how to feel and what you
Should and shouldn't have took
It's feelings that you fearing that's why
You step outside your mind
Don't look back 'cause if you don't crack
You get to sing this lulaby
You get to sing this lulaby
Don't worry baby, if you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through getting by
So you get a little restless and you get a little wasted
It's just a little lite entertainment
Embrace it
Don't worry baby, if you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through getting by
you do lots of complaining and do nothing to change it
well that's a little light entertainment
Embrace it, it just might save your life
Or it just might change your life

| 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 frustrating just get another drink in
Watch me come undone
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
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 fuck you all
I'm not scared of dying I just don't want to
If I stopped 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've gotta love my sad song, my love song
My sad song, my love song, my sad song, my love song

| Something Beautiful | |
|
You can't manufacture a miracle
The silence was pitiful - that day.
And love is getting too cynical
Passion's just physical - these days
You analyse everyone you meet
But get no sign, the loving kind
Every night you admit defeat
And cry yourself blind
Chorus
If you can't wake up in the morning
Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
The dj said on the radio
Life should be stereo, each day
And the past that cast the unsuitable
Instead of some kind of beautiful, you just couldn't wait
All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified, when they lived alone
Repeat chorus
Some kind of beautiful (will come your way)
(x4)
All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul no no no
Forgot the time feeling petrified
When they lived alone
Repeat chorus

| Love Somebody | |
|
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
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

| Revolution | |

Dont fight the feeling relax,
Oh child the knots are in your back,
Cuz' you've been holding on,
I feel you when you are reaching out
I'll talk you through memories,
Just keep breathing with me,
It's time to hold my hand,
And walk in to the revolution,
And there's no one to touch,
And you've been thinking too much,
You only hurt yourself,
When it's all about retribution
I see the pain in your face,
And praying with of the space,
Its time to lead you on,
Come on, into revolution
And you can't keep on keepin' on,
And everything you lead upon is all but gone,
Everybody falls sometimes, but love shines on
And on and on and on...
With love in your eyes,
With a flame in your heart,
Gonna find yourself some resolution
A million miles with one step
You'll find yourself yet
Walking with the revolution
Get it on get it on get it on get it on
Talk about a revolution
Get it on get it on get it on get it on
Rockin' with the revolution
Get it on get it on get it on get it on'
Take you high yeahohh...
Oh lovely yours on,
Just feeling upon,
I know you're tired,
When it's time to sleep,
You come forever
Make friends with your past,
And you can leave it at last,
It's time to run yourself,
Walking with the revolution
And you cant keep on keepin' on,
And everything you lead upon is all but gone
All but gone
Everybody hurts sometimes,
But love shines all
And on and on and on
Time and tides on your side,
There's no need to hide,
I feel your pain,
Dont talk to me about evolution
A milion miles with one step,
You'll find yourself again, when you're walking with the revolution
Walking the the revolution
A milion miles with one step
And you'll find yourself again, when you're walking with the revolution
Get it on get it on get it on get it on
Walking with the revolution
Get it on get it on get it on get it on
Can't warn you of the revolution
Get it on get it on get it on get it on
It's all about resolution
Get it on get it on get it on get it on
Talk about the revolution

| How Peculiar | |
|
How peculiar
I am all of the above babe
Johnny long to the grave
Saving all the stamps in
Spend it on a kettle
Rub me rub me up right lovely
If you lick it then lick it battery
Good and properly all night if you want
I haven't got a clue what to do with you
Need for you to love me so much
Jesus what am I going to do with this crush
So get the old fella and wack it up against the touch
How peculiar
Bend your long legs against the sofa and the dorchester
You can eat your all bran
I'm not into heart sports
Oh I haven't got a clue what to do with you
Jesus all the things my head is going through
God what am I going to do with this crush
Just wack the old man out and get it up against the touch
How peculiar
Jesus what am I to do man
I am a depressed man
Not sure what I'm doing
All of the day
How peculiar
I am all of the above man
I am what you want man
If you want me here I am
Come and get it baby

| One Fine Day | |
|
I like to reminisce about a time I've never had
A book that no one read
A film that never made me sad
And you remind of a place I've never been
And something no one said
When I was 17
One fine day
In the middle of the night
You'll wake up in it
One fine day
In the middle of the night
But you probably won't admit it
Remember when we never struggled through
A bad time we never had
A love we never fell into
Please don't remind me to forget
Cause forgiveness is a place
I ain't got used to yet
One fine day
In the middle of the night
You'll wake up in it
One fine day
In the middle of the night
But you probably won't admit it
All I ever wanted
Was to radiate your home
But I guess it doesn't matter
So come reminisce about a time we didn't have
I hear there's a sequel to that film that never made you sad
Don't rewrite my history
Cause you'll never really know
How much you didn't mean to me
One fine day
In the middle of the night
You'll wake up in it
One fine day
In the middle of the night
But you probably won't admit it

| Me and My Monkey | |
|
It was me and my monkey
Him 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 place'
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,
And we've got a monkey bed'
Me and monkey
With a dream and a gun
Hoping my monkey
Don't point that gun at anyone
Me and 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 view
It's 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 oki 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 sticking on kurt cobain sing about lithium
There came and knocked at the door and in walked sunshine
‘what's up? ' - ‘you better get your ass in here boy y
Our 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
When I played 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 fucking monkey anyhow

| Nan's Song | |
|
You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but he stole you away from me
And now she lives in heaven
But I know they let her out
To take care of me
There's a strange kind of light
Caressing me tonight
Pray silence my fear she is near
Bringing heaven down here
I miss your love I miss your touch
But I'm feeling you every day
And I can almost hear you say
'you've come a long way baby'
And now you live in heaven
But I know they let you out
To take care of me
There's a strange kind of light
In my bedroom tonight
Pray silence my fear she is near
Bring your heaven down here
You taught me kings and queens
While stroking my hair
In my darkest hour I know you are there
Kneeling down beside me
Whispering my prayer
Yes there's a strange kind of light
Caressing me tonight
Pray silence my fear
She is near
Bringing heaven down here
The next time that we meet
I will bow at her feet
And say wasn't life sweet
Then we'll prepare
To take heaven down there
