Escapology lyrics

How peculiar

I am all of the above babe
Johnny to the grave
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 if I believe

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

Come and 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

I just wanna feel
Real love fill the home that I live in
Cos I got too much life
Running thru my veins
Going to waste
I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love

You can't manufacture a miracle
The silence was pitiful that day.
A love is getting too cynical
Passion's just physical these days
You analyze everyone you meet
But get no sign, love ain't 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

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 talk 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 my Sharon
Monsoon
Come soon

Don't wanna piss on your parade

Loose lips sunk ships
I'm getting to grips
With what you said
No it's not in my head
I can't awaken the dead
day after day

Why don't we talk about it
Why do you always doubt that there can be a better way?
It doesn't make me wanna to stay

Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I got my eye shut praying they won't stray
And when I sexed up

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

Don't fight the feeling, relax
Oh child the knot's in your back
'Cause you've been holding on
I feel you when you're reaching out

I'll talk you through memories
Just keep breathing with me
It's time to hold my hand
And walk into the revolution

When 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

Hello. Did you miss me
I know I'm hard to resist
Y'all can come and help me pick the sweetcorn out of this.
It's hard to be humble
When you're so fucking big
Did you ever meet a sexier male chauvinist pig

I'm gonna milk it till I turn it into cheese
Tell your babes in arms and OAP's
Come take a piece of me

If you drop me I'll fall to pieces on you
If you don't see me I don't exist

So unimpressed, but so in awe
Such a saint, but such a whore
So self-aware, so full of shit
So indecisive, so adament
I'm contemplating, thinkin' about thinkin'
It's overrated, just get another drink and

Watch me come undone
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
I pray when I'm coming down, you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you, you revenge will be so sweet

There was me and my monkey
And with his dungarees and roller blades smoking filter tips
Reclining in the passenger seat of my super-charged 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 pace'

Come join the band
Come shag the damned
God I blow them away
A heart of chrome
A broken home
I got plenty to say

Who are you doing
Don't spoil my day
A bigger better offer baby
He's on his way
You gotta love LA

I feel gigantic
Gonna burst a vein
I'm stopping traffic
'Cause they dig the fame
And I'm just the same

So Ebay baby
Haven't seen you lately
Do you still give it away
So get my peeps

Queen bitch eat the rich
I'm on the second course today
I'm not the first and I won't be the worst
She's done most of L.A.
Can't find a virgin, I can get you a surgeon
Twenty-four hours a day
Call it Collagen Jeanie you big lip meanie
I'm about to be blown away
Come on sing it

Take me to the place where the sunshine flows
Oh my Sunset Rodeo

Hot fudge here comes the judge

Dig your polished nails into the dirt
Rip your skirt off, wipe the hurt off
You know it tears my heart out when you
Flirt with danger and any stranger

You're not as stupid as I look
Before I could read, you wrote the book

Cursed, since your birth dear
And your worst fears have all come true

Held my hand when I got my first tattoo
I was naked when it penetrated
Told everyone I'd slept with you

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 leave
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

Is the Richard Gere gerbil story true?
Who came third in World War II?
Did Sooty sleep with Sue
These things I think about
When I'm out with you

What are the holes in biros for?
Which one's which in The Corrs?
Did Geoff Hurst really score?
Cause frankly you're a bore
And I'm not

And if it's leaving season
You're second on the bill
If you wont leave me baby
I'll find someone who will

Things got weird
Like a three year old with a beard
Like a vision of Britney Spears
Like a tuna always seared
Do you like it a lot?
Guess what's on the clock?
I'd rather fanny about on a yacht
Stop staring at the stars

Save The Children
Save The Children

Things got weird
Like a three year old with a beard
Like a vision of Britney Spears
Like a tuna always eared
Do you like it alot?

Me and my shadow

(duet with jonathan wilkes)
Written by dave dreyer, al jolson and billy rose

[spoken]
Robbie: (american accent) johnny and robbie
Jonathon: what you talking like that for, youâre from stoke!
Robbie: I dunno but I canât stop here pally

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the c sharp clings to the c
Like youâll never get rid of your shadow

So unimpressed, but so in awe
Such a saint, but such a whore
So self-aware, so full of shit
So indesisive, so adiment
I'm contemplating thinking about thinking
It's so overated, just get another drink in
Watch me come undone

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
(come undone) I pray that when i'm coming down, you'll be asleep

So unimpressed, but so in awe
Such a saint, but such a whore
So self-aware, so full of shit
So indesisive, so adiment
I'm contemplating thinking about thinking
It's so overated, just get another drink in
Watch me come undone

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
(come undone) I pray that when i'm coming down, you'll be asleep

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 rated 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

Loose lips sunk ships
I'm getting to grips
With what you've said
No it's not in my head
I'll lay on bed
But I'm OK
Why don't we talk about it ?
Why do you always doubt that there could be a better way?
It doesn't make me wanna stay

(Chorus)
Why don't we break up ?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut, praying they won't stray
and we're not sexed up

I like to reminisce about a time Iâve never had
A book that no one read
A film that never made me sad
And you remind of a place Iâve never been
And something no one said
When I was 17

One fine day
In the middle of the night
Youâll wake up in it
One fine day
In the middle of the night
But you probably wonât admit it

Remember when we never struggled through

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

Will you stay in our lover's story
If you stay you won't be sorry
Cos we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of Kooks hung up on romancing

We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry
A funny old crib on which the paint won't dry
I bought you a pair of shoes
A trumpet you can blow and a book of rules
Of what to say to people when they pick on you

There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing through my face
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
She calls my name
She calls my name
No one else could feel my pain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains

They're out of sorts in Sunderland
And terribly cross in Kent
They're down in Hull
And the isle of Mall
Is seething with discontent
They're nervous in northumberland
And Devon is down the drain
They're filled with wrath on Firth of Forth
And sullen on Salisbury plain
In Dublin they're depressed lads
Maybe because they're Celts
For drake is hurrying West, lads
And so is everyone else

[Announcer:]
Hi out there. This is Shaun Goldberg and you're listening to W.A.N.K.
This evening I've got someone really interesting with me.
He's over from old England and his name is... Robbie Williams.
[Rob:]
Cor blimey bleedin' Mary Poppins!
[Announcer:]
Great, right on! You know we've been hearing about this boy band that was really big over there.

Ah, yeah, yeah
Oh Baby

She is calling
And you don't want to answer back
I'm falling
Trying to find my way back
Maybe I'll never know
Where I've been (what I've seen)
I hope she'll meet me inbetween
So I hope I get through this hurricane
And teach me how to smile again

She makes me high (She makes me high)
She makes me high (She makes me high)

It's the end of the night
I want to know you
Get the phone, call a cab and take you home yeah
I think there's something you should know
I'll send my boys an order through Interflora
Tell you lies like "I love you" and "I adore you"
I think there's something you should know

I'm a Love Cheat
And you look so sweet
Can take you home where I live
Lay you by the fire
Love me, lady

Rome Munich Rome
All the women and the money I've blown
Rome Munich Rome
There's still a shitload of seeds to be sown
And I've been stunned
I plan to have it all while I'm still young
And I know you're low
We'll be alright tomorrow

You know it's not enough
To kiss you in my sleep
A dream is not like love
So give me something I can keep

Rome Munich Rome
So many people, so alone

We're only making plans for Nigel
We only want what's best for him
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel just needs a helping hand
And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy, he must be happy,
he must be happy in his world

We're only making plans for Nigel
He has his future in a fist of steel
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel's whole future is as good as sealed

We're all so chic living in class A
Partying and search sweet sorrow today
When you don't know who your friends are
And neither do they
We're all so amused
And maybe it's better that way
She's been seen with him
He's been seen with her
Happy propaganda

Just as their 5 current sur
Sing my way of meaning
Karaoke overkill

We all should know better
But I bet we never will

Dealers keep dealin'
Thieves keep thievin'
Whores keep whorin'
Junkies keep scorin'
Trade is on the meat rack
Strip joints full of hunchbacks
Bitches keep bitchin'
Clap keeps itchin'

[Bridge]
Ain't no use in prayin'
That's the way it's stayin', baby
Johnny ain't so crazy
He's always got a line for the ladies
(yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
Get your rocks off

[Spoken: "Ok settle down you all, settle down lady,
he's gonna be on stage real soon, that's right Mama put
your popcorn down, he's turning to the band, yeah he's running his
legs off, ladies and gentlemen Mr Robbie Williams"]

Just because your dyslexic
Doesn't mean your not fake
We know you're not that stupid
You'll marry someone rich
Bet you won't steal his watch

Take your time, to unwind
You will find it's love you are living
Clear the space, find a place
You will see it's love you are giving.

Take you time to make things last
Love for the future, not the past
I can't change the way I am
This is all I got, this Cheap Love Song

Take your time, make it rhyme
You will see it's all believing
One fine day, we'll find a way

I'm gonna write you a letter
I think the sooner the better
Cause the time is right to find a better day
I'm an angry young man
Man I wish I was young
My guitar is out of tune even that's highly strung

And the words we didn't say last night
Shook the world to the core
We had nothing to say last night
We'd said it all before
And I say

Lonely times and lonely tears

You say you're sick and tired
Of feeling sick and tired
I walked and told the truth
Do you wish I'd stayed alive

Cause she said that you said that I said
She said that I said the love's dead
And I tried to explain
Don't expect you to be the same

On this rockin rollercoaster, an emotional ride
We were just an average b-side
We were just an average b-side

I was born long ago
I am the chosen I'm the one
I have come to save the day
And I won't leave until I'm done
So that's why you've got to try
You got to breath and have some fun
Though I'm not paid I play this game
And I won't stop until I'm done
But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way?
And I got to got to know

I don' tknow why we always cry

Well I'm standing here looking at you
What do I see?
I'm looking straight through
It's so sad when you're young
To be told you're having fun
So unplug the jukebox
And do us all a favour
That music's lost it1s taste
So try another flavour

Antmusic Antmusic Antmusic Antmusic

I'm standing here what do I see
A big nothing threatening me
It's so sad when you're young

I always have an alibi
You allow me there
But tonight I have no conscience
So what comes after that

You're coming down already
This high won't see us through
Nothing I can change now
I've learnt to lie to you
What happened to me
What happened to you
You were pulling me on
I was leading you through
Lie to me

I always had a vision
That love would see us through

Everytime we say goodbye
I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go

When you're near
There's such an air
Of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye

I met her at an aftershow party
I said have we met before?
She said hardly
She had a curry stain
That was down her cardie
But her teeth were clean
So I said smartly

I'm falling in love again
I'm so in lust with you
Pillow over head again
I'll suffocate with you
If you ask me to

She was educated at this school called RADA
She was made to go by her mother

Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away
Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In lama land, there's a one man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue

Once I get you up there,
Where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide

Peace on earth see two old men
We're gonna get boozed up again
I'm an actor, pope, messiahs
Roastin' oats on open fires
Pushed to find three wise men
You definitely won't find a virgin
It ain't my rounds, so I'll be cheering

I believe in Christmas
What do you believe in
Mine is yours and yours is mine
I believe in Christmas time
Everybody's feeling fine
We believe in Christmas time

Put my hand on the Bible
Do me for liable
It's suing season,
And I am broke

Buy me some happy
Find me some passion
Will it ever happen?
Heaven knows

Sometimes you've got to get the joke
It's the only thing that keeps this bloke afloat
Who put this spanner in my spokes?
I can't change how it's wrote

Classy or flashy
At home with Lassie
They all walk past me,
I wouldn't know.

Let's all make babies
And salsa from Sainsbury's
Cos this is a Happy Song
Play on my pink flute
Butt naked from Beirut
Cos this is a happy song

You need a mood maker
Then go meet my tailor
I know it's going too fast
Your sister your brother
His mistress your lover
Is getting on with it

Yeah ( debonair )
I'm feeling so debonair ( cos I care )

(Hello, hello, hello)

Yoko's cutting keys in Soho
I've been there and I should know oh face it
I'll stick up for Aunty Sally
Worzel's just a dirty scally fragrant
Mia Farrow's patching marrows down at the place where all the face fit
Robin Cousins doing dozens on a little pudding so he rakes it

I'm the reserection
I may steal your soul
I am fairly evil
I live for rock and roll

Ask me why,
I say it's most unusual
How can I even try to explain
Why today I feel like dancing
Singing like lovers sing
When I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing.

Ask me when (ahhhhh)
I say it started when I met you (ahhhhh)
And ever since then I knew that the past couldn't last
For right now I think I'm running

And they want us to grow up
We don't want to get a job
We all need a decent rock
Where it's all Kicking off

Baby it's alright Baby it's alright
You don't need to call it off
Baby it's alright Baby it's alright
It's Only Us
We just stopped for cheaper thrills
Since the price went up on pills
>From Stoke-On-Trent to Beverley Hills

We know it's all Kicking off

We've learnt to kick a ball, but we're not quite cynical
And we've written on the wall, John's gay He's gay
And Janet's friends with John and she says that we're all scum
He just gets his homework done and won't play not today

What will we grow up to be
What will we grow up to see
Will you still be friends with me fourteen, fifteen, sixteen

Martin grew out of his A-team vest

You've done it all, you've broken every code
and pulled the Rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
for only metal - what a bore!
Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies?
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild

MR TOM JONES!
