To detest robbie Williams' lyrics

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!!

adora was a joke!! Based on the discussions on here about that song

In terms of lyrics, I actually really like John Mayer. He has the arrogance of Williams but the talents to back it up. I definitely would, too!

cue someone digging up something shit by JM to disprove my point

I love Robbie! Whilst some songs are 'pop' and he isn't the most good looking blokes around, you really need to listen to some of his songs that have not been released as a single. For instance Baby Girl Window...

I?ve got your rainbows seen your sunbeams
I know a place where heaven breathes
And it?s through her window
Your baby girl?s window

I know you?re happy where you are
Singing to the moon talking to the stars
Through her window
Your baby girl?s window

There?s finger marks around her soul
But your laughter fills the hole
Through her window
Your baby girl?s window

Aaah I wish you would stay
Aaah to see what she made of herself

People say you were gone too soon
I see your face when flowers bloom
Through her window
Your baby girl?s window

I?m looking for the words to say
Something to take the pain away
Through her window

Aaah I wish you would stay
Aaah to see what she made of herself

Just me here 11 years later.
Gary Barlow and Robbie wrote Candy, you know the Gary Barlow who everyone refers to as the better songwriter. And as for 'Goin Crazy' intro - dizzee and robbie.. its 100% about low self esteem as are many of Robbie's song. He may not be the greatest singer but neither is Taylor Swift and look at her. They have something that many people love and thats CHARACTER. I will continue to support Robbie for many reasons and now my little girl is also a massive fan. Got to ge doing something right 🤷🏼‍♀️
