Robbie Williams 90's lyrics
Songwriters: Williams, Robbie; Meehan, Jeremy
Picking up the story from where I left off
Itâs 1990 now so school can fuck off
I got no GCSEs, nothing higher than a âDâ
I couldnât tell me mum because sheâd batter me
Me and Tate sat on the bowling green, life was a shitter
We had five quid between us and bought six cans of bitter
I took me ten Benson home and I smoked through the sorrow
If I could just avoid me Mum, maybe Iâd tell her tomorrow
I stumbled through the door I said, "Mum itâs like this"
She said, âThat manâs been on the phone and youâve made the list
Youâre in that boy band son, come and give us a kissâ
Phoned up Martin and Rich and carried on getting pissed
Boys I donât believe it, Iâm goinâ to be famous
Pick you up in a Porsche and buy you lots of trainers
I met the other guys, one seemed like a cock
I think itâs going to be like 'New Kids On The Block'
I canât be bothered âcause Iâm lazy
(I only wanted to get down)
I hate those that hate me
I canât forgive and itâs crazy, baby
Now Iâm a video star
(Iâm making trouble in this town)
Do you know who you are, baby?
(For the five of us)
I adopted four brothers, some I liked more than others
One was like a brother from another mother
But the lead singer made it hard to like him
And I still loved him, despite him
The first three months, you know I nearly quit
I played snooker with my Dad, he said âDonât be a dick
Unload the bullets, youâre mind is a gun
Youâre gonna shoot yourself when theyâre number oneâ
I canât be bothered âcause Iâm lazy
(I only wanted to get down)
I hate those that hate me
I canât forgive and itâs crazy, baby
Now Iâm a video star
(Iâm making trouble in this town)
Do you know who you are, baby?
(For the five of us)
Now itâs dinner with Versace, lunch with Princess Diana
And Iâm gonna get battered if I go out in my manor
âCause as much as we were loved we were also hated
The boys got jealous âcause the girls got plated
And now weâre famous and that, and weâre dancing and that
And Iâm thinking I can sing why am I stood at the back
So fuck the band give me Sambuka and gak
Now we're all a band of nerves, you know a band of brothers
I canât be bothered âcause Iâm lazy
(I only wanted to get down)
I hate those that hate me
I canât forgive and itâs crazy, baby
Now Iâm a video star
(Iâm making trouble in this town)
Do you know who you are, baby?
(For the five of us)
And now itâs breaking my heart because the dreamâs turned to shit
It ainât broke but Iâll break it in a little bit
And Iâm always in trouble but Iâve stopped saying sorry
Everybodyâs worried âWhat the fuckâs wrong with Robbie?
He's not answering his phone, heâs not talking to me
I saw him on the telly at Glastonburyâ
And now Iâm running away from everything that Iâve been
And Iâm pissed and Iâm fucked, and Iâm only nineteen
I canât conform no more, I canât perform no more
But the boys know Iâm fucked and so they show me the door
And if the truth be told I wasnât fit enough to stay
So I put my head down and walked away
That was the 90's, '90 to '95
I canât be bothered âcause Iâm lazy
(I only wanted to get down)
I hate those that hate me
I canât forgive and itâs crazy, baby
Now Iâm a video star
(Iâm making trouble in this town)
Do you know who you are, baby?
(For the five of us)
