Robbie Williams - Me And My Shadow lyrics

(feat. Jonathan Wilkes)

[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 seashore clings to the sea

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 Groucho's

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

[Robbie:] I don't need money

[Jonathon:] What about a cup of tea

[Robbie:] Not thirsty

[Jonathon:] I'll won't tell anyone you're gay.

[Both Laugh]

Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar

We'll hit all the late spots, and then a few more

We'll wind up at Stringy's and maybe Groucho's

Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!

For my shadow and me!
