Lyrics

Robert

Wildly madly deeply black

You got lost upon the track

I can't see you coming back

Robert Oh Robert

Robert Oh Robert

Where did it all go wrong ?

Robert Oh Robert

Robert Oh Robert

Africa takes too long

Jealous rivals bring you down

Vicious rumours over town

Cupid's arrows snipers round

Robert Oh Robert

Robert Oh Robert

Where did it all go wrong ?

Robert Oh Robert

Robert Oh Robert

Singing a different song

Took the lead and took the land

And made the Queen a crime

Said you were the chosen one

The fuhrer of the time

Robert Oh Robert

Robert Oh Robert

Now the curtain falls for you

Must be time for something new

Hold the flag and join the queue

Robert Oh Robert

Robert Oh Robert

Where did it all go wrong ?

Robert Oh Robert

Robert Oh Robert

Singing a different song
