ROBBIE WILLIAMS - COME UNDONE
So Unimpressed, But So In Awe
Such A Saint, But Such A Whore
So Self-Aware, So Full Of Shit
So Indecisive, So Adamant
I'm Contemplating, Thinkin' About Thinkin'
It's Overrated, Just Get Another Drink And
Watch Me Come Undone
They're Selling Razor Blades And Mirrors In The Street
I Pray When I'm Coming Down, You'll Be Asleep
If I Ever Hurt You, Your Revenge Will Be So Sweet
Because I'm Scum, And I'm Your Son
I Come Undone
I Come Undone
So Rock 'N' Roll, So Corporate Suit
So Damn Ugly, So Damn Cute
So Well-Trained, So Animal
So Need Your Love, So Fuck You All
I'm Not Scared Of Dying, I Just Don't Want To
If I Stopped Lying I'd Just Disappoint You
I Come Undone
They're Selling Razor Blades And Mirrors In The Street
Come Undone
I Pray When I'm Coming Down, You'll Be Asleep
Come Undone
If I Ever Hurt You, Your Revenge Will Be So Sweet
Because I'm Scum, And I'm Your Son
I Come Undone
So Write Another Ballad, Mix It On A Wednesday
Sell It On A Thursday Buy A Yacht By Saturday
It's A Love Song, A Love Song
Do Another Interview, Sing A Bunch Of Lies
Tell About Celebrities That I Despise
And Sing Love Songs, We Sing Love Songs So Sincere
So Sincere
Come Undone
They're Selling Razor Blades And Mirrors In The Street
Come Undone
I Pray When I'm Coming Down, You'll Be Asleep
Come Undone
If I Ever Hurt You Your Revenge Will Be So Sweet
Because I'm Scum
I Come Undone
I Am Scum
Love Your Son
You've Gotta Love Your Son
Come Undone
You've Gotta Love You Son
Come Undone
Love Your Son
I Am Scum
I Am Scum
I Am Scum
I Am Scum
I Am Scum
I Am Scum
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Robbie Williams, Ashley Hamilton, Per Kristian Ottestad, Daniel Pierre
Producer(s): Guy Chambers, Steve Power
This Song Is About The Vapidity And Shallowness Of Fame And A Lifestyle Of Excess. Robbie Williams Had Previously Turned To Drugs And Alcohol To Deal With The Pressure Of Being A Celebrity, And Used "Come Undone" As A Chance To Deconstruct The Public Perception Of Himself: "Do Another Interview, Sing A Bunch Of Lies, Tell About Celebrities That I Despise, And Sing Love Songs. We Sing Love Songs, So Sincere."
Come Undone" Was One Of The First Songs Williams Wrote Without His Longtime Collaborator Guy Chambers, Who Reportedly Hated It.
BBC Radio 2, The Most Popular Radio Station In The Uk, Banned This Song Upon Its Release Due To Its Explicit Content And Reference To Substance Abuse.
One Of The Most Famous Live Performances Of This Song Took Place During Williams' Residency At Knebworth House In August 2003. During The Performance, Williams Beckoned A Female Fan On Stage To Dance With Him. The Pair Proceeded To Flirt With Each Other In Front Of The 125,000-Strong Crowd, Culminating In A Passionate Kiss. The Fan Was Later Identified By The Sun As Carly Quinlan.
"Come Undone" Was The Second Single Released From Williams' Fifth Album, Escapology, After "Feel." The Song Peaked At #4 In The UK.
