‘Make Me Pure', as Robbie will tell you and producer Stephen Duffy will confirm, is a song without a chorus, "just six or seven verses, and a bit at the end." This is the singer in conversation with himself, a 31 year-old man off the drink and drugs but wanting, nevertheless, to push the barriers of his newly-found sobriety, and to still have occasional illicit fun. "It's also about turning 30 and realising that there is still a big void in my life," he says. "And that's a woman, a partner, a wife." Heartache clearly suits him, for this fabulous song.
