Strong by Robbie Williams:
My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when Im drunk I dance like me dad
Ive started to dress a bit like him
Early morning when I wake up
I look like kiss but without the make up
And thats a good line to take it to
The bridge
And you know and you know
Cos my lifes a mess
And Im trying to grow so before
Im old Ill confess
You think that Im strong youre wrong
Youre wrong
Ill sing my song my song my song
My beds full of takeaways and fantasies
Of easy lays
The pause buttons broke on my video
And is this real cos I feel fake
Oprah Winfrey Ricki Lake
Teach me things I dont need to know
And you know and you know
Cos my lifes a mess
And its starting to show so before
Im old Ill confess
You think that Im strong youre wrong
Youre wrong
Ill sing my song my song my song
If I did it all again Id be a nun
The rain was never cold when I was young
Im still young were still young
Lifes too short to be afraid
Step inside the sun
And you know and you know
Cos my lifes a mess
And Im trying to grow
And you know and you know
Cos my lifes a mess
And Im trying to grow
And you know and you know
Cos my lifes a mess
And Im trying to grow
You think that Im strong youre wrong
Youre wrong
Ill sing my song my song my song
You think that Im strong youre wrong
Youre wrong
Ill sing my song my song my song
Lifes too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You dont have to take the blame
Lifes too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You dont have to take the blame
Lifes too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You dont have to take the blame
