Two hands in the air. Allow me to reintroduce myself. My	:08:52.	:11:36.
name is Robbie... Williams. This is my band. It is New Year's Eve and	:11:37.	:11:45.
the night your as is mine! So less than that, we are not allowed to	:11:46.	:11:50.
swear this evening, so we're not going to swear, are we? About 50	:11:51.	:11:57.
people from the BBC came up and said, Mr Williams, there's a few	:11:58.	:12:00.
songs of yours may have a choice lyrics, do you mind not singing the	:12:01.	:12:05.
swear words? Which swear words can't I say? The Fs, Cs and Ss. But if the	:12:06.	:12:19.
audience sings swear words I can't do anything. So if I say such a	:12:20.	:12:28.
saint but... So self-aware so... I didn't say anything wrong. There was	:12:29.	:12:34.
nothing I said that was a swear word of any kind. Go on then, played the	:12:35.	:12:36.
bloody song. Are you ready? Are you sure? No	:12:37.	:12:45.
swearing on the BBC, from me! # I'm contemplating	:12:46.	:12:57.
thinking about thinking # They're selling razor blades	:12:58.	:13:27.
and mirrors in the street # I pray that when I'm coming down	:13:28.	:13:36.
you'll be asleep # If I ever hurt you	:13:37.	:13:45.
your revenge will be so sweet # So rock'n'roll,	:13:46.	:13:52.
So corporate suit # I'm not scared of dying	:13:53.	:14:11.
I just don't want to # If I stopped lying	:14:12.	:14:34.
I'd just disappoint you # They're selling razor blades	:14:35.	:14:38.
and mirrors in the street # I pray that when I'm coming down	:14:39.	:14:44.
you'll be asleep # If I ever hurt you	:14:45.	:14:52.
your revenge will be so sweet # They're selling razor blades	:14:53.	:15:01.
and mirrors in the street # I pray that when I'm coming down	:15:02.	:15:59.
you'll be asleep # A young pretender	:16:00.	:16:07.
and my crowds above can see # It takes a certain kind of man	:16:08.	:16:14.
with a certain reputation # To alleviate the cash	:16:15.	:17:12.
from a whole entire nation # Take my loose change	:17:13.	:17:14.
and build my own space station # Ain't no refutin' or disputin' -	:17:15.	:17:17.
I'm a modern Rasputin # Subcontract disputes	:17:18.	:17:21.
to some brutes in Louboutin # Act highfalutin' while	:17:22.	:17:23.
my boys put the boots in # Dance like	:17:24.	:17:26.
you've got concussion, oh # I've got Stoli and Bolly	:17:27.	:17:41.
and Molly, so I'm jolly # And I'm always off my trolley,	:17:42.	:18:16.
so I never say sorry # There's a doll, inside a doll,	:18:17.	:18:19.
inside a doll, inside a dolly # I put a bank inside a car,	:18:20.	:18:22.
inside a plane, inside a boat # It takes half the western world	:18:23.	:18:28.
just to keep my ship afloat # And I never ever smile	:18:29.	:18:31.
unless I've something to promote # Dance like you've got concussion,	:18:32.	:18:34.
oh # We're the Russian boys,	:18:35.	:18:49.
we're everywhere # Dance like you've got concussion,	:18:50.	:19:16.
oh Oh, lord. OK. So I put the red and	:19:17.	:20:13.
black jacket on that I put on tonight and I bought that before	:20:14.	:20:17.
Christmas and now it doesn't fit because of the chocolates that I've	:20:18.	:20:21.
eaten over Christmas. Anybody else with me with the chocolates? YES!	:20:22.	:20:29.
And there are other fruit oranges available. But damn you Terry's! OK.	:20:30.	:20:36.
Right. Did you have a good Christmas? YES! Are you ready for	:20:37.	:20:43.
another song? YES! Might as well. Ladies and gentlemen, it's my	:20:44.	:20:58.
father, Pete. Come on.	:20:59.	:23:56.
# To be a better man # To be a better man... #	:23:57.	:24:00.
It's my daddy. Happy New Year! INSTRUMENTAL. Are you with me? ! One	:24:01.	:24:08.
last time! # You can see it in my face	:24:09.	:28:01.
It's a real big place Robbie, incredible first half, man.	:28:02.	:29:42.
