So trite, so meaningless and yet so smug. They always sound like he thinks he's being oh so clever and witty. I give you:

Every single morning
Wake up in the afternoon
Cover up the mirror
Just to get a better view
Been around the world and never even left the room

I mean really. It just doesn't make sense and has no purpose. It's like he's imitating talented yricists/writers who can successfully work on different levels. But this just doesn't!

And

Ring a ring of roses
Whoever gets the closest
She comes and she goes
As the war of the roses
Mother was a victim
Father beat the system
By moving bricks to Brixton
And learning how to fix them

Roses- rhymes with closest, which rhymes with...uh....roses! And it's all a pile of meaningless shite!!

Yanbu. I can't stand him. Such a gigantic ego, how can anyone stand to be in his company?

YANBU.

He was my teenage crush and it's awful to have all my memories destroyed by this pretentious whinge bag that he's developed into (or maybe I just didn't notice before) Sad

He should have hung up his microphone after the Sinatra stuff and stuck to being an LA eccentric chasing UFO's.

The random lyrics just remind me of 1984 where they randomly generate lyrics just to keep the proles happy.

Hey ho here we go, a little too high and a little too low, she thinks she's made of candy whoa oa oa.

YABU.

He's great. Can do no wrong.

YABU, most song lyrics are meaningless shite. Robbie Williams certainly doesn't have a monopoly on that.
Bohemian rhapsody- WTAF is that all about?

I hate Robbie Williams generally. He makes my skin crawl.
