Robbie Williams - Me And My Shadow Lyrics






[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!

Robbie Williams Me And My Shadow Comments
  1. E.... ....

    I must have watched this at least 10 times, and I've only just realized: Despite the camera suggesting otherwise, it's Robbie singing the high note at 3:43, because Jonny's mouth movement doesn't match.

    E.... ....

    ElzearYoung definitely. Took me a while to notice it too, but with a good pair of headphones you can clearly hear it’s Robbie singing the high notes and Jonathan’s backing with a lower tone. Love this performance so much.

  2. C.... W....

    Mad to think Robbie, johnny, and them 2 girls are now in there late 40s/early 50s

    C.... W....

    Robbie is I think 44 & his best friend Wilkes is four years younger. What is really Crazy MAD is all that Robbie has accomplished since he was a lad to now. He is a wild child force of entertainment wowza that cannot be beat. He can sing anything from any era, rap, dance, act & gives to charity. Plus his concerts are huge....and yes, I am talking about the number of peeps that attend his concerts.

  3. M.... B....

    Who's watching in 2k19

  4. D.... K....

    I think this whole concert is a good performance by Robbie. But I cant understand why he took off his jacket! Frank or Dean never would have done that. AND HIS TIE IS SO HIDEOUS,

  5. t.... ....

    Very handsome men

  6. I.... a....

    Not exactly Frank and Sammy but they're pretty good! I've been a fan of Robbie for many years so I think this is very cool. And, it's a nice tribute to the old school players.

  7. F.... M....

    Genial...

  8. T.... K....

    I love when he sings the older classics!! He is so damn cute!!!!

  9. s.... f....

    This reminds me peggy Carter

  10. J.... B....

    Friendship goals

  11. L.... B....

  17. x.... k....

    this is the cuteST THING I'VE EVER SEEN

  18. J.... B....

    Friendship goals personified

  19. e.... ....

    At 0:42 Williams grabs at Jonny's crutch .....why and why is gay being mentioned ?

    e.... ....

    Also, isn't Robbie gay? Not staying that's why he's grabbing him, I know they're just fucking with each other but that's why there are so many gay references.

    e.... ....

    Anthony Ellenburg no he’s not there’s always been along running joke around if you’re in a boy band then one of you has to be gay as over the years nearly all boy bands have had a member either come out as gay or has been forced by the press to admit their gay. There was rumours surrounding Robbie for years that because messed around a lot and acted camp he was the one who was gay in Take That so he just played on it to piss the press off! He’s as straight as they come and him and Johnny joke about it in this song because it was Johnny the press kept saying was Robbie’s secret lover when really they’re both two lads who grew up together in stoke and have been best friends since early childhood! They both decided on this song and changed the lyrics as a middle finger and fxxk you to the media and press. Robbie has always been a clown! X

    e.... ....

    @River-Phoenix Luna Pavier Haha, well he fooled me. Always thought he was. Lol. Good to know though. Thanks.

    e.... ....

    Anthony Ellenburg no problem. X

    e.... ....

    It’s banter

  20. K.... C....

    Robbie hits high notes I mean he can really sing holy shit

  21. J.... f....

    MY SHADOW

  22. w.... w....

    One of the best duets

  23. S.... G....

    AMAZING! BRILLIANT!

  24. L.... A....

    This song has the atmosphere of a Disney theme song for a scizophrenic main character.

    L.... A....

    Láng Anikó are you just gonna forget Peter Pan like that?

  25. M.... A....

    LARGE KOBAS FOR JONATHAN

  26. a.... ....

    This one is just awesome

  27. s.... c....

    That was brilliant!

  28. m.... ....

    so good

  29. L.... S....

    Who is this fabulous drummer?

    L.... S....

    i think its Philipp scholz

  30. t.... ....

    Legendary performances

  31. 8.... ....

    the homosexuals try to defile everything that was innocent ,,,notice how they try to imply that these men are homosexuals which was NOT the intent of the original song what so ever,,,this really angers me because the original intent was meant to convey something spiritual but as usual to the vile everything is vile,,,when that which is evil is honored among men the wicked strut about and vilest of men are exalted

    8.... ....

    8ElionAdvancing8 somebody is triggered like a feminist on Parade

    8.... ....

    Well You have alot of time on your hands don't you :)

    8.... ....

    boohoo gurn u

    8.... ....

    Jesus Christ mate. Calm the fuck down. Look, I get that the original intention of the song sung by Frank and Sammy was spiritual, but Rob and Jon were just having a laugh. Jesus Christ get over yourself it’s just a few jokes.

    God, I hate people like yourself

    8.... ....

    You have issues.

  32. M.... R....

    My 6 year old loves duetting the album version with me.

    Even better than the Sinatra/Davis original!

    M.... R....

    Martin R not bad. but not better than sinatra. not in a million years.

  33. J.... L....

    One of my all time favourite songs and performances, never fails to put a smile on my face :)
