Ronan Keating
Written by Robbie Williams and Martin Page in LA, the week that Ronan’s bandmate Stephen Gateley died. Music by Martin, Robbie wrote most of the lyrics. 10 years after writing it, Robbie saw Boyzone on TV, remembered the song and emailed it to Ronan, explaining he’d written it for Stephen. When Rona...
[Verse 1: Ronan Keating]
I guess I went a little crazy
I was out of my depth
Felt intimidated, couldn't catch my breathe
I had to say the big goodbye
'Cause I wanna go home
The only soul you could save these days is your own
[Chorus: Ronan Keating]
Oh, say, can you see? (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
The tunnel of light (Everybody's got an old soul)
A band of angels that you seek when you're alive
Oh, look away (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
Something I have to do (Everybody's got an old soul)
Please don't follow me, I'll wait for you
[Verse 2: Ronan Keating]
I live through the lies that kill me inside
One day, I'll meet them all when they decide
You know when I'm there (You know when I'm there)
I'll be the rash on your skin
Right there by your side when the rage sets in oh, oh
[Chorus: Ronan Keating]
Oh, say, can you see? (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
The tunnel of light (Everybody's got an old soul)
A band of angels that you seek when you're alive
Oh, look away (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
Something I have to do (Everybody's got an old soul)
Please don't follow me, I'll wait for you
[Bridge: Robbie Williams]
Everybody knows that there's a ghost in my machine
I've been standin' round yellin', "Cut the feed!"
Kind of sweet how it feels when it's goin' down down, down, yeah
When the rollin' of the thunder starts
I'll be your microphone into your heart
Here they come now, I'm fadin' away
'Way, 'way, 'way, 'way
Fadin' away
[Chorus: Ronan Keating]
Oh, can you see? (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
The tunnel of light (Everybody's got an old soul)
A band of angels that you seek when you're alive (Robbie Williams: When you're alive)
Oh, look away (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
There's something I have to do (Everybody's got an old soul)
Please don't follow me, I'll wait for you
[Outro: Ronan Keating]
(Everybody's gone a little crazy)
(Everybody's got an old soul)
There's a ghost in my machine
