Robbie Williams - Intensive Care: Wikipedia Album Entry
Intensive Care is the ninth album and sixth solo studio album by English pop singer Robbie Williams, released on October 24, 2005 in the United Kingdom.
Although not originally intended to be released in North America, it was made available on iTunes there.
Stoke's favourite son's sixth studio album marks a new stage in the career of Mr Robert Peter Williams, Britain's favourite popular entertainer. Severed from his former right hand man, songwriter Guy Chambers, Intensive Care sees him forging a new partnership with former The Lilac Time stalwart Stephen Duffy. The result is his most complete album to date, free from the gimmicky fillers--like "Me and My Monkey" and "Jesus In A Camper Van"--that tended to drag previous efforts down.Never short of cocksure bravado, Robbie starts proceedings off with a modest declaration—"Here I stand victorious, the only man who made you come", but for once he's got the tunes to back up the posturing. There're plenty of classic Robbie tracks, from the ballad-tastic "Advertising Space"--which should see "Angels" relegated to the backbenches--to the public confessional of "The Trouble With Me"; plus some daring departures in between, from the '80s pop fun of "Sin Sin Sin" to the Rolling Stones-a-like "A Place To Crash", via the Oasis-lite of "Make Me Pure" and the Smiths-esque guitars on "Your Gay Friend". You can't help but feel that Mr Williams has a point to make with this album, to all the people who said he'd be nothing without Guy Chambers; if that is the case, he couldn't have gone about it a better way than by serving up the best album of his career to date. --Melanie Wilkin

Robbie Williams - Intensive Care Lyrics
Robbie Williams - Tripping Lyrics
First they ignore you, then laugh at you and hate you
Then they fight you, then you win
When the truth dies, very bad things happen
They're being heartless again
Robbie Williams - Place To Crash Lyrics
I-I-I'm on a mission
To abuse my position
Abuse it with you
Robbie Williams - Trouble With Me Lyrics
You see the trouble with me
I've got a head full of fuck
I'm a basket case
I don't think I can love, love, love
Robbie Williams - Random Acts Of Kindness Lyrics
For those about to die
We salute you
For those about to cry
We love you
Robbie Williams - Sin Sin Sin Lyrics
Don't let your eyes tell the brain
You should feel ashamed
Everyone needs it baby
And I feel the same
Robbie Williams - Your Gay Friend Lyrics
Hey, hey! Here comes no one
Another friend to have a go on
And she asks me, do I miss her when she's gone
And I reply as much as I miss anyone
Robbie Williams - Please Don't Die Lyrics
Let me lie down
Please don't wake me
Nothing's sacred
And no one save me
Robbie Williams - Advertising Space Lyrics
There's no earthly way of knowing
What was in your heart when it stopped going
The whole world shook
A storm was blowing through you
Robbie Williams - Spread Your Wings Lyrics
I used to live 'round here
I was the boy with the flash clothes
She was the girl with the acid stare
I saw her at The Place, you know she knows you know
Robbie Williams - Make Me Pure Lyrics
Some will sing a song to reel 'em in
It's a song I sung before and a song I'm gonna sing again
I mean every word, I don't mean a single one of them
Oh Lord, make me pure but not yet
Robbie Williams - Ghosts Lyrics
Here I stand, victorious
The only man who made you come
When you cried, you cried for us
And when we died you died alone
Robbie Williams - King Of Bloke & Bird Lyrics
What you do speak so loud
I can't hear what you say
Except for the occasional word
