  • She's taking me places
    I should never have been
    She's showin' me faces
    I should never have seen
    Well these are strange days we're livin' in today
    Cést la vie I say

    I hope I'm old before I die
    I hope I live to relive the days gone by
    I hope I'm old before I die
    But tonight I'm gonna live for today
    So come along for the ride
    I hope I'm old before I die

    She's not feeling stable
    She's unable to breathe
    Her heart's beating faster
    So I'll ask her to leave
    These are strange days we're livin' in today
    Am I straight or gay

    I hope I'm old before I die
    I hope I live to see the day
    The pope gets high
    I hope I'm old before I die
    Well tonight I'm gonna live for today
    So come along for the ride
    I hope I'm old before I die

    Well these are strange days we're livin' in today
    Cést la vie I say, I say, I say

    I hope I'm old before I die
    I hope I live to relive the days gone by
    I hope I'm old before I die
    But tonight I'm gonna live for today
    So come along for the ride
    I hope I'm old before I die
    Old before I die
    Old before
    Old before
    Old before I die
    Old before I die

  • Bettyblu from ParisThis song marks a new beginning for young Robbie. New look, new sound, and, hopefully, new fans. I think this is Robert Williams who finally expresses all his talent, which had been kept compressed by long-dated, disappointing Take That experience. We are not what the others define us, we are what we deserve to be. And Robbie Williams has always deserved to be the great pop star he has finally become
