To detest robbie Williams' lyrics

[WhatsWithTheDecaf]

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!!

I flippin' love the song Candy

He posted an explanation of the lyrics to Candy.

I love Robbie.

I think a lot of his lyrics refer to his struggles with everyday life, too.

No I have not experienced depression

I know he has, yes

It still doesn't mean I think his lyrics are loaded with meaning. I think he does though and he'd like you to think that too. Just like someone with a broken heart believes their love poetry contains the truest and most insightful words written, when often it's just trite guff. It strikes me as quite juvenile.

Anyway- it looks like they're not all his lyrics after all that! I am a bit sad about the Gary Barlow thing now!!

Gah you lot!! He's a first class eejit!!

Loathe GB really smug and don't know what women see in him although he can write a catchy tune.

So which artists do you like then op?

YANBU, I don't like his songs although they're inoffensive which is better than some songs.

Oh tonnes of artists, but I really like that Blurred Lines song at the moment!

I always thought Rock DJ was Bout being a maasive coke head. The video is him taking hia skin off isn't it?
Quite like that one.

He's one of the countless people in today's celebrity culture that I look at and wonder how someone with so little talent made it so big

He is talented!

He struts his lardy self around a stage warbling in a semi-ironic manner to songs written by someone else, and gurns in a way that seems to please middle aged women.

Don't tell me that's not a talent!

Well, YAB a bit U about the lyrics as most tend to be utter bollocks.

However, Robbie Williams in general makes my skin crawl, such a smug look on his simian face.

I remember a thread when his baby was born, someone said a pic of him with the baby 'made her ovaries twang'. Ewwww. IMO Robbie spoiled the whole picture!

dopeysheep I admit I caught part of an interview about Rock DJ where he basically admitted the lyrics made no sense at all but fit nicely to the music!

He has a baby? I thought he was gay?

If we're talking about nonsensical lyrics I have two words for you.. Arctic Monkeys.

For most of their songs its like they got one of those spam email generating programs, mashed it a few times and put the results in to a song. I like their music but their songs make zero fucking sense!

He is detestable.

(I love Gary though.)

He has a little girl.called Theadora. I tbink that's her name. And he is married.
I thought he was gay too.
Really Snatch? That's my theory scuppered then! Tis a catchy tune though.

Well I guess he could have been lying!

I quite like that one too. I prefer the ones like that though, than where he's trying to be oh so deep and meaningful and clever.

I like lyrics to make sense but not necessarily to try and make me think. I'm a philistine though clearly as I don't like poetry!

He's a massive self obsessed idiot I can't bear his oh poor little me aren't I cute face he still pulls when he's almost 40!?

And he doesn't write most of his lyrics or his music

I went to see take that and for some unknown reason half way through it irritatingly turned into a Robbie solo gig?? Ugh irritating little man, his only talent is how on earth he's got away with it for so long

Ah, yes of course you like Blurred Lines, it makes sense. Nothing ambiguos or iligical about that song at all.

Ilógical bloody sausage fingers

been around the world and never the the room ... Having toured on rock on roll tours; this. Totally.

Ooh who have you toured with ifancyshandy?
