Robbie Williams - Reality Killed the Video Star Lyrics






Morning Sun

How do you rate the morning sun?
After a long and sleepless night
How many stars would you give to the moon
Do you see those stars from where you are?
Shine on the lost and loneliest
The ones who can't get over it

You always wanted more than life
But now you don't have the appetite
In a message to the troubador
The world don't love you anymore
Tell me how do you rate the morning sun?

Stuck inside the rainbow years
And you could happen to me
'Cause I've been close to where you are
I drove to places you have seen
It all seems so familiar
Like they'd been sent to kill ya

It doesn't take an astronaut
To float in the space is just a thought
The morning brings a mystery
The evening makes it history
Tell me how do you rate the morning sun?

And the village drunk
Sadly passed away
It was a shame
I never knew his name
I wonder if he sat there every morning
And watched the sun rise

How do you rate the morning sun?
It was just too heavy for me
And all I wanted was the world
If you are the starlet in the sun
Don't go wasting your time
'Cause there is no finish line

And you don't see anything
Not even love, not anything
The night can take the man from you
A sense of wonder overdue
The morning brings a mystery
The evening makes it history
Who am I to rate the morning sun?

Bodies

God gave me the sunshine,
Then showed me my lifeline
I was told it was all mine,
Then I got laid on a ley line
What a day, what a day,
And your Jesus really died for me
Then Jesus really tried for me

UK and entropy,
I feel like its f*ckin' me
Wanna feed off the energy,
Love living like a deity
What a day, one day,
And your Jesus really died for me
I guess Jesus really tried for me

Bodies in the Bodhi tree,
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family,
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
And that's the way it's gonna be

All we've ever wanted
Is to look good naked
Hope that someone can take it
God save me rejection
From my reflection,
I want perfection

Praying for the rapture,
'Cause it's stranger getting stranger
And everything's contagious
It's the modern middle ages
All day every day
And if Jesus really died for me
Then Jesus really tried for me

Bodies in the Bodhi tree,
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family,
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
And that's the way it's gonna be

All we've ever wanted
Is to look good naked
Hope that someone can take it
God save me rejection
From my reflection,
I want perfection

Bodies in the Bodhi tree,
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family,
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
Bodies in the bodhi tree,
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family,
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
And that's the way it's gonna be

All we've ever wanted
Is to look good naked
Hope that someone can take it
So God save me rejection
From my reflection,
I want perfection

Jesus didn't die for you, what do you want?
(I want perfection)
Jesus didn't die for you, what are you on?
Oh Lord
(Jesus really died for you) Ohh
(Jesus really died for you)
(Jesus really died for you) Ohh

You Know Me

If a man could beat his own fancy
Then to only breed in captivity
Is pointless
I've been doing what I like when I like how I like it's joyless
Only you know me

What a waste of all this peace ,
Baby steps and two more sleeps
Till I get to say sorry
I get hysterical, historical; of love is just chemical
Give us something to stop me
Only you know me

Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday
You don't know cos you're not there
You simply found the words to make a lot of feelings fade away -or (our model feelings)
Only you know me

I'm doin' fine
And the sun often shines
What are you thinking?
At the worst of my mind
With this thunderbird wine
Baby, I'm drinking-
Only you know me

Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday
You don't know cos you're not there
You simply found the words to make a lot of feelings fade away-or (our model feelings)
Only you know me
Only you know me

Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday
You don't know cos you're not there
You simply found the words to make a lot of feelings fade away-or (our model feelings)
Only you know me
Only you know me
Only you
Only you
Only you know me

Blasphemy

The Egyptians built their pyramids
The Romans did what they did
Now everything's come down to this
It's just you and I, our kin!!!

We could send a million to the moon
But why can't I get on with you?
Cellophane around my mouth
Stops the anger sipping out

Our deaf and dumb dinners
Gravy in the mud
No singles, just fillers
Sometimes I wish I could
But I can't behave

I know it's not the heathen in me
It's just that I've been bleeding lately,
Internally
Don't turn to me,
Bite your tongue, the torrid weapon
You could learn a useful lesson

What's so great about the Great Depression
Is it a blast for you?
Blasphemy

Words cut like a knife throughVaseline
You can't really mean what you mean
When you say what you say
So tourettes make them come out that way,
Wish I was here well I wish you weren't
Your gift of anger's better burnt
If nothing's said then nothing's learnt
I though I wasn't but I'm really hurting

Our deaf and dumb dinners,
There's gravy in the mud
And I can't behave
No, it's not the heathen in me
It's just that I've been bleeding lately,
Internally

Don't turn to me
Bite my tongue, the torrid weapon
We could learn a useful lesson
What's so great about the Great Depression
Was it a blast for you,
Blasphemy

A great adventure Christmas in the snow
Senile Dementia maybe, what a way to go
I can't behave
I know it's not the heathen in me
It's just that I've been bleeding lately,
Internally
So turn to me
Bite your tongue, your torrid weapon
We could learn a useful lesson
In a greatness great depression
It's not a blast for me,
It's blasphemy

Do You Mind?

This is a song full of metaphors
All I be needing is
Tobacco and draw
Better let me into your
Country though
Then I can show you what
You're missing me for
I'm a night kind of animal
Got a receiver
What you testing me for
I was scared so I ate 'em all
They tasted good
But they make me look old

And ooh, you teach
Like a toothache,
I'm not here for my sake,
How long will this mickey take
And ooh,
There's heavy entertainment,
Out here on the pavement
The men about you gotta
Get away

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,
If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?
Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,
If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?

I'll think you're famous
If that's what ya want
But you can pick your
Own pulpit,
You must fill your own fonts
Bring some wine
And some sensodyne
Then you can be my
Favorite dodo
Anyone fancy Monaco
I'm a placebo they're
Chasing me fool
Don't be scared
You could eat 'em all
They taste good
But they make you look old

Ooh, you sick little cup cake,
You could be a keepsake,
You jukebox to generate
And ooh,
I'm heavy entertainment
In need of containment
I'm mad about you
Gotta get away

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,
If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?
Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,
If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?

Anyone fancy Monaco?

Go get a portable
Recliner bin
Must take a photo for sure
Got our our problems and
A real long name
And she gets high on
Rollin' roll-ups

And ooh, you teach
Like a toothache,
I'm not here for my sake,
How long will this mickey take
And ooh,
There's heavy entertainment,
Out here on the pavement
The men about you gotta
Get away

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,
If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?
Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,
If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?
Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,
If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?
Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind,
If I, I, I, I, I, I touch ya?

Last Days Of Disco

Stand by me, I've been stood by you for ages
Stay calm and carry on
Maybe nothing's wrong
Is it the comfort of, dis-information or
Is it the freedom that you fear
Said I'm the angel of liberation, love
For a second I believe her

I'm all you'll hear, ahhhhh
While you're here, ahhhhh

Don't call it a comeback
Look what I invented here,
I thought it was easy
They can't take it away from us,
The last days of disco

All raved out, bitter is the pill of devotion
Read between the noise, all you disco boys
The fascination of,
A boy and girl in love,
For a second I could see that
In the mir above,
The human animal or a creature that I feel

I'm all your here
While you're here
Don't call it a comeback
Look what I invented here,
I thought it was easy
They can't take it away from us,
The last days of disco
The last days of disco
The last days of disco

I'm all your here
While you're here
Don't call it a comeback,
We'll hold an event in here
This space is beautiful
I'll decide when it is over
So don't call it a comeback,
Look what I invented here
I thought it was easy
They cant take it away from us,
The last days of disco,
The last days of disco,
The last days of disco..

Somewhere

Somewhere there's a place where you can go
Someplace you can lay your heavy head down
Everybody needs somewhere to go
We don't get high to get a comedown

You take your chance in life
Go out and find a wife
Don't get stuck in the state I'm in
Someone somewhere is loving you

Deceptacon

Microwave yourself today
Save you for a rainy day
Hello deceptacon
This will not be going away

From all of us there
To all over here
We wish you all of the best
All of the year, she said

Well he's never been quite right
And I know
We'll be stepping on eggshells tonight

And all over Britain
We wait for permission
To form another queue
We stand in position
Though someody's missing
And that somebody's you
But what can I do?

I love you but I don't like you
Right now
Was all she had to say
Hello deceptacon
I will not be going away

From all of us here
To all over there
We wish you all of the best
All of the year, she said

Only you could make it right
But I've stopped, stepping on eggshells tonight

And all over Britain
We wait for permission
To form another queue
We stand in position
Though somebody's missing
And that somebody's you
But what can I do?

Send my best to all concerned
I know I've been a gracious host
Goodbye deceptacon

Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
What are you, to me?
What can I do for you?
What can you do for me?
Who are you?
What are you, to me?

Starstruck

You laugh at us we're different
And we laugh 'cause
You're all the same
By the look on your face baby
We've been enjoying ourselves again.

I know that you cry
I know why you try so hard.

Ready steady go,
Everybody famous
Everyone you know,
Why'd it take you ages.

I don't have to listen
Read love like you
I've got no problem with
The physical minimal real life
Living in histerica for everybody's betterment
Isn't it a miracle, everybody's starstruck.

I guess the odds are very good
But the goods are very odd
And even though I talk with the Devil
I only made the deal with God.

I am alarmist
Knock one off the wrist, so hard.

Ready steady go,
Everybody famous
Everyone you know,
Why'd it take you ages.

I don't have to listen
Read love like you
I've got no problem with
The physical minimal real life
Living in histerica for everybody's betterment
Isn't it a miracle, everybody's starstruck.

You want me to stop,
But you can't, can you?
I was lovely on the way up,
On the way up.

Ready steady go,
Everybody famous
Everyone you know,
Why'd it take you ages.

I don't have to listen
Read love like you
I've got no problem with
The physical minimal real life
Living in histerica for everybody's betterment
Isn't it a miracle, everybody's starstruck.

Ready steady go...

I don't have to listen
Read love like you
I've got no problem with
The physical minimal real life
Living in histerica for everybody's betterment
Isn't it a miracle, everybody's starstruck.

Ready steady go.

Difficult For Weirdos

Where the future rests in the bistro where the music is for weirdos,
We like it different we like it strange in our own way we haven't changed
I got my eyes made up at the bus stop by my girlfriend and you know what,
She likes me different she likes me strange in her own way she's just the same

Psycho evolution your pollution makes it difficult for weirdos,
Just another humanoid reaction to the voices in this town

Every Saturday at the plaza guess the gender unless you'd rather,
He is a lesbian but that's ok she is the center of attention for another day
In the universe we are magenta you can join us if you enter,
Because you're different and you are strange in your own way you're just the same

Psycho evolution your pollution makes it difficult for weirdos,
Just another humanoid reaction to the voices in this town

Time isn't lost where devotion is I never wasted a life,
Space is the place where the soul is far from the safe and the norm

In the off stream they call it cavarade but they'll say that won't they,
I want it different I like it strange in my own way I haven't changed
It's insulting to be mislead by the hairdo of a god head
They show reverence but that's ok we are the center of the universe anyway

Psycho evolution your pollution makes it difficult for weirdos,
Just another humanoid reaction to the voices in this town

Psycho evolution your pollution makes it difficult for weirdos,
Just another humanoid reaction to the voices in this town

Superblind

Sleep sleep feel the deep get
Away from the death of it all
Don't you wanna see what
You could have won.

Bittersweet your defeat baby
I'm much sicker than you
All you are is colours
And your colours run.

Isn't it genius that you can't deny
You just keep on doing harm
Could only see the sense in being superblind
And just keep on keeping on.

I can't help thinkin' 'bout me
Put a thought in for me
I'm the genius behind me
Maybe I shouldn't have said it.

And here in the century
What will they think
When they think about me.

Here it is, what a lie say
A prayer for the way it should be
We are people that don't believe
Wish your mother wouldn't bother
Won't she just stay out of your mind
Why should they stay when you make them leave.

Isn't it genius that you can't deny
You just keep on doing harm
Could only see the sense in being superblind
And just keep on keeping on.

I can't help thinkin' 'bout me
Put a thought in for me
I'm the genius behind me
Maybe I shouldn't have said it.

And here in the century
What will they think
When they think about me.

I can't help thinkin' 'bout me
Won't you put a prayer in for me
You can talk and think about me.

It's like these rocks know when we're dancing
We can pray our way out of this'
You're like a new wave old romantic
Try to break our heart but get stuck on it.

When you're superblind
Keep you out of mind
'Cause we all know
And we don't care.

Wont Do That

In this bag of stuff I brought to you
You didn't mind storing it through
You would never be the trouble and strife
If I made you my Swiss army wife.

I could give this up,
I could walk away,
It doesn't fill me up,
It didn't anyway.

I won't do that to you
Won't do that to you,
Do that to you,
Won't do that to you.

I don't mind when the boys look at you
If I was them I'd be doin' it too
I mean more to you than handbags and shoes
I'm so sorry there's been a few.

I don't trust too much,
I don't love enough
But I'm giving up,
All this giving up.

I won't do that to you
Won't do that to you,
Do that to you,
Won't do that to you.

Suddenly I'm not the jealous guy
Another sign that we're doing it right.

I could give this up,
I could walk away,
'Cause you fill me up,
Each and every day.

I promise that I won't do that to you,
Won't do that to you
Do that to you,
Won't do that to you
Won't do that to you
Won't do that to you.

Do that to you,
Won't do that to you
I won't do that to you
Won't do that to you.

Do that to you,
Won't do that to you
Won't do that to you
Won't do that to you.

Do that to you,
Won't do that to you.

Morning Sun (Reprise)

How do you rate the morning sun?
After a long and sleepless night, how many stars would you give to the moon?

You always wanted more than life
But now you don't have the appetite

Reality Killed the Video Star is the eighth solo studio album by English singer-songwriter Robbie Williams, released in November 2009. The album was produced by Trevor Horn and recorded between September 2008 and August 2009 in London and Los Angeles. It debuted in the top ten of 22 national album charts worldwide, and has received varying reviews from music critics. It incorporates elements of pop rock, dance-rock, alternative rock and adult contemporary music.[citation needed] Reality Killed the Video Star was viewed by critics and fans as being Williams' "comeback album" after the relative failure of his 2006 release, Rudebox.

The album was preceded by lead single "Bodies" released in October 2009. Other single releases include "You Know Me" and "Morning Sun". The album has been certified platinum in Europe for sales of over one million copies, including 900,000 copies sold in the UK alone. Despite this, it was and still is Williams' first and only studio album not to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart, beaten to the top spot by a margin of less than 1% by JLS's self-titled debut album.
