Whores keep whorin'
Junkies keep scorin'
Trade is on the meat rack
Strip joints full of hunchbacks
Bitches keep bitchin'

Rocks Off
Robbie Williams' "Rocks Off" stands as a defining track from his 1997 debut album, "Life Through a Lens." Released during the height of Britpop's commercial dominance, the song blends upbeat pop-rock energy with Williams' signature charismatic vocal delivery and witty lyricism. As a staple of his early discography, it captures the infectious optimism and melodic hooks that characterized his initial rise to fame. The recording exemplifies the genre's fusion of guitar-driven instrumentation with accessible pop structures, cementing its place in his catalog of anthems. While often associated with the broader Britpop movement, the track showcases Williams' unique ability to inject humor and personal flair into mainstream pop-rock, influencing subsequent releases and solidifying his status as a leading figure in late 90s British music.
