I've Sung Some Songs That Were Lame

Robbie Williams · Other Songs - Robbie Williams

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 of 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've got too many regrets

I've smoked too many cigarettes

I've had more blondes than brunettes

I'm not expecting your sympathy

But it's all been too much for me

So put your hands across the water

Oh mushroom

Monsoon

Come soon
