Robbie William's Index Do Nothing Till You Hear From MeDo nothing till you hear from me Pay no attention to what's said Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream Is over my head Do nothing till you hear from me At least consider our romance If you should take the words of others you've heard I haven't a chance True, I've been seen with someone new That does that mean that I'm untrue? While we're apart, all the words in my heart Reveal how I feel about you Some kiss may cloud my memory And other arms may hold a thrill But please do nothing till you hear it from me And you never will! True, I've been seen with someone new That don't mean that I'm untrue? While we're apart, the words in my heart Reveal how I feel about you Some kiss may cloud my memory And other arms may hold a thrill But please do nothing till you hear it from me Please do nothing till you hear it from me Please do nothing till you hear it from me Baby you never will! That's the truth.... And don't tell you're Mama. Robbie William's Index It Was A Very Good YearWhen I was seventeen, It was a very good year It was a very good year for small Town girls and soft summer nights. We'd hide from the lights on the village green When I was seventeen When I was twenty-one, It was a very good year It was a very good year for city Girls who lived up the stairs With all that perfumed hair and it came undone When I was twenty-one When I was thirty-five, It was a very good year It was a very good year for blue-blooded Girls of independent means We'd ride in limousines, Their chauffeurs would drive When I was thirty-five But now the days are short, I'm in the autumn of the year And now I think of my life as vintage Wine from fine old kegs From the brim to the dregs It poured sweet and clear It was a very good year Robbie William's Index Straighten Up And Fly RightA buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air, The monkey thought that everything Was on the square.
