Robbie Williams - There Are Bad Times Just Around The Corner Lyrics
They're out of sorts in Sunderland
And terribly cross in Kent
They're down in Hull
And the isle of Mall
Is seething with discontent
And Devon is down the drain
They're filled with wrath on Firth of Forth
And sullen on Salisbury plain
In Dublin they're depressed lads
Maybe because they're Celts
For drake is hurrying West, lads
And so is everyone else
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
Misery is here to stay
There are dark clouds hurtling through the sky
And it's no good whining
About a silver lining
For we know from experience they won't roll by
With a scowl and a frown we'll keep our peckers down
And prepare for depression and doom and dread
We're going to unpack our troubles from our old kit bag
And wait until we drop down dead
They're nervous in Nigeria
They're all going crazy in Crete
In Bucharest they're so depressed
They're frightend to cross the streets
In maine the melancholia
Is deeper than tongue can tell
In Monako all the croupiers know
They haven't a hope in hell
In far away Australia
Each wallaby is well aware
The world's a total failure
Without any time to spare
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
Suffering and dismay
There are bad times just around the corner
The horizon is gloomy as can be
There are black birds over
The greyish cliffs of Dover
And the rats are preparing to leave the BBC
We're unhappy breed and very bored indeed
When reminded of something that Nelson said
While the press and the politicians nag, nag, nag
We'll wait until we drop down dead
There are bad times just around the corner
And the outlook's absolutely vile
There are home fires smoking from Windermere to Woking
And we're not going to tighten our belt and
Smile Smile Smile
At the sound of shots
We'd just as soon as not
Get a hot water bottle and go to bed
We're going to unpack our troubles from our old kit bag
And wait until we drop down dead
I like your story
Land of Hope and Glory
Wait until we drop down dead

Robbie Williams There Are Bad Times Just Around The Corner Comments
Love the way he keeps looking at the lyrics on the floor. We didn't notice, honest Robbie!
This was even worse than I expected.
Well, I don't think Noel Coward is going to be mad about this particular boy. Sorry Robbie but you didn't just murder this song, you tortured it in front of its family first!
Terrible...
Unquestionably the worst version of this song I've ever heard ...whoever sequenced the backing track should be forced to listen to the macarena for all eternity
this completely ruins everything that the original song was...AWFUL. bore off williams.
this is fantastic, Robbie is a genius!
it's because of the turtleneck and glasses...
Poor Boy.....
yeah and the words are poignant, gulf stream death syndrome.
oh god i feel sick!!!!!!!
Hah, hah Rob. What year was that:3?
Love and Peace
-Nanna<3.
Bring back Noel Coward - PLEASE! Even dead he'd be better than this!
I love Robbie, I really do but honestly, this song isn't good! Not even the album version! It's embarrassing!
It doesn't help that he sings the same lyrics multiple times, which he doesn't do on the album version.
a little pitchy, as randy jackson might say
I am sure they knew that by asking a raunchy pop/rock star to perform a quintessential Noel Coward song that the result would turn out to be a little unconventional. They were probably expecting a diverse performance and I'm sure they would have been disappointed if Robbie had just sung it completely straight.
OMG!
Comments about the song and the performance aside... doesn't he look a little bit like Elton John there?
the false American accent is only one thing wrong with it
Coward must be turning in his grave
This is weird..and funny at the same time LOL
This song is completely goofy...the whole thing must have been done as a joke. RW's always shown that he has a great sense of humor. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have taken this really seriously...I mean, look at the audience...not a typical RW crowd. Anyway...very camp...very funny.
I'm a fan of this song, and I agree with you completely. I've heard some wonderful covers of Noel Coward songs, but this is not one of them.
