Robbie Williams - Me And My Shadow

Текст песни Me And My Shadow

Me And My Shadow


(duet with Jonathan Wilkes)
Written by Dave Dreyer, Al Jolson and Billy Rose

[spoken]
Robbie: (american accent) Johnny and Robbie
Jonathon: What you talking like that for, you′re from Stoke!
Robbie: I dunno but I can′t stop here pally

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the C sharp clings to the C
Like you′ll never get rid of your shadow
You′ll never get rid of me

Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we′ve got us.

[Me and my shadow]
We′re closer than pages that stick in a book
We′re closer than ripples that flow in a brook
[Strolling down the avenue]
Wherever you find him, you′ll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza


Me and my shadow
We′re closer than smog to all of L.A.
We′re closer than Ricky to confessing he′s gay??
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue

And when it′s sleeping time
That′s when we rise
We start to swing
Our clocks don′t chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
Happy New Year!

[Me and my shadow]
And now to repeat what I said at the start
They′ll need a large crowbar to break us apart
We′re alone but far from blue

Before we get finished, we′ll make the town roar
We′ll hit a few late spots, and then a few more
We′ll wind up at Stringy′s and maybe ? show
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!

[spoken]
Jonathon: Can we do that again
Robbie: No, I′m too tired
Jonathon: Please Rob
Robbie: No, I′m swung out
Jonathon: I′ll give you some money
