TRIPPING
ROBBIE pushes the boundaries of his voice here. He hits the high
notes in this mini gangster opera and the reggae influences and ska
sounds mark a change.
He reveals this track owes a great debt to the early work of THE
CLASH, saying "it's like a mini gangster opera - lock,stock & two
smoking barrels and snatch combined.

MAKE ME PURE
This is classic Robbie with a clever crisp, voice plus guitars. He
talks to himself about his new - found sobriety but realises there's
still a lot missing.
But heartache is often the muse for the best tunes and this won't
dissapoint.
Robbie says "This song is about turning 30 and realising there is
still a big void in my life...that's a women, a partner, a wife"

SPREAD YOUR WINGS
A SWAGGERING rock song that wouldn't be out of place in a huge
stadium filled with fist punching and air guitars. Robbie says " I
want to write songs that will still break people's hearts in 20
years time and i hope and reckon, this one will do just that".

ADVERTISING SPACE
This song starts up like a u2 track before bursting into life. The
story seems autobiographical but Robbie layers in lines about
America and insiders are pitching it as Robbie's answer to Candle In
The Wind. Robbie says "This is my True Romance song, the one where,
like Christian Slater in the film, I like to believe I have direct
access to Elvis every now and then".

PLEASE DON'T DIE
YOU would expect this to be the tearful track but the pleading line
about an unnamed family member who died of cancer last year is not
hopeless.
The funky guitar on the track streers Robbie's tender, intimate
lyrics in a soul - searching and optimistic direction.

YOUR GAY FRIEND
This track blasts through the speakers from the opening "WOO HOO".
It's Intensive Care's cheekist number and is littered with the F-
word and lines like "I'll be your gay friend, cos your marriage
never ends, so we **** and fight again". But Robbie keeps everyone
guessing and refuses to reveal the subject's name. He says "The less
said about that the better" ´

SIN SIN SIN
AN electronic, hypnotic song that sees Robbie slipping into Pet Shop
Boys mode. It's a tale of a dirty old man searching for satisfaction
with women.
Robbie says "It's about the kind of bloke i will turn into one day".

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS
RANDOM ACTS suggests Robbie has been dabbling in spells and has come
up with the winning formula for a hit album. This song is full of
experimental Eastern promise with mystical chanting in the
background. He says "This song is mystical and magical".

THE TROUBLE WITH ME
The singer exposes all his emotional weaknesses in this song. The
intro is pure Robbie classic and the opening lines leave you in no
doubt that though maturing, Robbie is still fighting to find the
perfect balance in life.

A PLACE TO CRASH
ROCKING ROBBIE at his best. It's a Stones tribute with guitar sounds
that Primal Scream would envy. Robbie really wants people to hear
this one and it is bound to be a live favourite.

KING OF BLOKE AND BIRD
A SONG of painful love. Robbie says "This is me trying to imitate
Neil Young but sounding instead likr Kermit The Frog" But he adds
that the lines could be "too painful" to sing live.
