The Trouble With Me
It is, by now, common knowledge that few people write self-lacerating songs with the unflinching eloquence of Robbie Williams, and ‘The Trouble With Me' is one of his very best. The Trouble With Me Written by a man of maturity now desperate to find the woman of his dreams, he begins it thus: "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." Stephen Duffy, the album's producer, points to these lyrics - which, like all of Robbie's lyrics, come straight off the top of his head with the minimum of architecture - as confirmation of his genius wordplay.
