We didn’t play at In The City. Nope. Don’t know where that one came from.
Anyway, I’m pretty sure that Robbie Williams’ new song is about terrorism and how it can be justified when it's carried out by the oppressed. See, I wouldn’t give him the credit either, but I’ve been bombarded from all angles by this Dub-Pop knife in the ears that I started listening to the lyrics, and it makes sense:
“I know it’s gone and there’s gonna be violence / I’ve taken as much as I’m willing to take / Why do you think we should suffer in silence? / When a heart is broken there’s nothing to break”
And then there’s those lines:
“I leave a few shells in my gun / To stop me staring at the sun”
I mean, I don’t think I’m reading too hard into that. It does make sense. A pop anthem for all you rock throwing kids in Palestine. Get the markets covered Rob. No one’s really gone balls out to target that Angry Young Crushed-By-A-Few-Too-Many-Tanks demographic. It almost makes the bastard interesting.
