ROBBIE WILLIAMS - NO REGRETS
Tell Me A Story
Where We All Change
And We'd Live Our Lives Together
And Not Estranged
I Didn't Lose My Mind
It Was Mine To Give Away
Couldn't Stay To Watch Me Cry
You Didn't Have The Time
So I Softly Slip Away...
No Regrets They Don't Work
No Regrest They Only Hurt
Sing Me A Love Song
Drop Me A Line
Suppose It's Just A Point Of View
But They Tell Me I'm Doing Fine
I Know From The Outside
We Looked Good For Each Other
Felt Things Were Going Wrong
When You Didn't Like My Mother
I Don't Want To Hate
But That's All You've Left Me With
A Bitter Aftertaste And A Fantasy
Of How We All Could Live
No Regrets They Don't Work
No Regrest They Only Hurt
(We've Been Told You Stay Up Late)
I Know They're Still Talking
(You're Far Too Short To Carry Weight)
The Demons In Your Head
(Return The Videos They're Late)
If I Could Just Stop Hating You
(Goodbye)
I'd Feel Sorry For Us Instead
Remember The Photographs (Insane)
The Ones Where We All Laugh (So Lame)
We Were Having The Time Of Our Lives
Well Thank You, It Was A Real Blast
No Regrets They Don't Work
No Regrest They Only Hurt
Sing Me A Love Song
Drop Me A Line
Suppose It's Just A Point Of View
But They Tell Me I'm Doing Fine
Everything I Want To Be
Everytime I Walked Away
Everytime You Told Me To Leave
I Just Wanted To Stay
Everytime You Looked At Me
And Everytime You Smiles
I Felt So Vacant You Treat Me Like A Child
I Loved The Way We Used To Laugh
I Loved The Way We Used To Smile
Often I Sit Down And Think Of You For A While
Then It Passes By Me And I Think Of Someone Else Instead
I Guess The Love We Once Had Is Officially
Dead
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Robbie Williams, Guy Chambers
Producer(s): Guy Chambers, Steve Power
"No Regrets" Finds Robbie Williams Reflecting On His Dramatic Departure From Take That In July 1995. There Was A Lot Of Bad Blood Between Williams And His Former Bandmates, With The Feud Frequently Playing Out In The British Press.
Williams Still Managed To Fit In Several Digs At Take That In The Song, Though, Including The Line, "You're Far Too Short To Carry Weight." This Was Thought To Be A Reference To Gary Barlow, Who'd Put On A Considerable Amount Of Weight At The Time.
Following His Reconciliation With Take That In July 2010, Williams Replaced The Final Line, "I Guess The Love We Once Had Is Officially Dead," With "I Guess The Love We Once Had Is Officially Alive" When Performing This Song Live.
"No Regrets" Features Backing Vocals From Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant And The Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon. Hannon Is Barely Audible In The Song, However, Which He Put Down To Not Being Present In The Studio When "No Regrets" Was Being Mixed.
The Video Begins With Williams Performing At A Las Vegas-Style Cabaret Show. Clearly Unhappy In His Situation, Williams Leaves The Stage And Walks To A Gas Station To Collect Petrol In A Jerrican. He Then Continues Walking, Dripping Petrol Every Step Of The Way. As The Song Reaches Its Conclusion, A Spark Is Lit At The Gas Station, Sending The Trail Behind Williams Into Flames. The Clip, Which Was Directed By Pedro Romhanyi, Can Be Seen As A Metaphor For Williams Cutting Ties With His Past And His Time Spent With Take That.
"No Regrets" Was The Second Single Released From Williams' I've Been Expecting You, After "Millennium." It Peaked At #4 In The Uk.
