First track from Swing When You’re Winning, it’s the only song on the album written by Robbie and Guy.
In the liner notes “I Will Talk and Hollywood Will Listen” was described as:
a moving meditation on the untouchable loneliness and biting ambition of stardom.
[Verse 1]
I wouldn't be so alone
If they knew my name in every home
Kevin Spacey would call on the phone
But I'd be too busy
Come back to the old five and dime
Cameron Diaz give me a sign
I'd make you smile all the time
Your conversation would compliment mine
[Chorus]
I will talk and Hollywood will listen
See them bow at my every word
Mr. Spielberg look just what you're missing
Doesn't that seem a little absurd?
Bow at my every word
[Verse 2]
Buy up the rights to my book
Live on a ranch from what the box office took
I'll go and visit the set
They'll call me their saviour
All the peoples will scorn celebrity
Lives on the moon
But I'll be back home in June
To promote the sequel
[Chorus]
I will talk and Hollywood will listen
See them bow at my every word
Mr. Spielberg look just what you're missing
Doesn't that seem a little absurd?
Bow at my every word
I Will Talk and Hollywood Will Listen was written by Robbie Williams & Guy Chambers.
I Will Talk and Hollywood Will Listen was produced by Guy Chambers.
Robbie Williams released I Will Talk and Hollywood Will Listen on Mon Mar 11 2002.
We always thought this song was too orchestral and dramatic for a regular Robbie Williams album. Then as this record started to take shape we realised that it would fit perfectly.
