Just found this song again after a long time. Pheonix from the flames is my tune....sorry for your loss Mama. I called my dog mama, she has 10 babies and we're all together here in Croatia. I've had alot of losses too. Come see the puppies.
Just watched the Better Man film in the cinema and decided to revisit this album from my very early childhood! I used to lay on the sofa listening to this album with the lyric book in hand. It’s crazy how many of the songs I can still remember 25ish years later…
The reason this song is not on the reissue version of I've Been Expecting You is because in 1998, Williams was sued by Ludlow Publishing over this song because it lifted lyrics from the Loudon Wainwright III song "I Am the Way", from his album Attempted Mustache. The lyric to Wainwright's "I Am the Way" is as follows: "Every son of God has a little hard luck sometime, especially when he goes around saying he's the way." The lyric to "Jesus in a Camper Van" in question is: "Even the son of God gets it hard sometimes, especially when he goes around saying, I am the way." Williams claimed that he had heard a young man say the line whilst in rehab, and only found that it was a line from Wainwright's song after he had already recorded it. Williams' agents called Wainwright to notify him about this, but Wainwright had little say in the matter; "I Am the Way" was a parody of the Woody Guthrie song "New York Town"; Ludlow Publishing owned the line's copyright. In 2002, Ludlow Publishing won the lawsuit, receiving 25% of the income that "Jesus in a Camper Van" garnered, and subsequently, the album was re-issued replacing "Jesus in a Camper Van" with "It's Only Us". This also occurred on his compilation record The Ego has Landed.
Callanish I had a copy of Ego has Landed on Cassette, that mysteriously had the song replaced with It's Only US for the CD version.... now I know why. Cheers!
Many people experiment with drugs&alcohol when they're young, but when you are struggling with attention deficit, (he was called "thick" as a child) depression, anxiety & difficulty sleeping you may self medicate when you want to, need to, have to be, comstantly interviewed & perform onstage for 1,000's of people. Most addicts have issues, hence addiction. He's not necessarily arrogant; it's an ACT - Bravado, Self Depricating Humour, the need to make people laugh. Don't be so harsh!
@bonnb9 Beautifully said. x. I get abit overprotective of harsh words against Robbie as many just don't fully understand the man and all the underlying challenges he has faced - that soooo many people in this world have faced and continue to face. Compassion is free but seldom given xx
Ooh we've got a live one, featherweight icon Heroes let 'im down so he sleeps with the Light on And there's nothin' left to do but kneel down And pray Sail away with Caesar if you're a non believer Everybody get high if you're a Diamond geezer It's the devil that needs ya so go out and play Blame yourself it's easier There's no need to trouble her you trouble her Jesus in a camper van he said sorry to Leave you but I've done all I can I suppose even the son of God Gets it hard sometimes Especially when he goes round Saying I am the way And now it's four in the mornin' yes yes y'all in No one can shoot but everybody's scoring Trust me it's boring get down and pray They told you not to meddle with the bass and The treble There's dust on your needle and you think that You're a rebel You're Evel Knievel so get down and pray Blame yourself it's easier There's no need to trouble her you trouble her Jesus in a camper van he said sorry to Leave you but I've done all I can I suppose even the son of God Gets it hard sometimes Especially when he goes round Saying I am the way I am the way, I am the way, I am the way I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am the way [2x:] Jesus in a camper van he said sorry to Leave you but I've done all I can I suppose even the son of God Gets it hard sometimes [2x:] Blame yourself it's easier There's no need to trouble her [2x:] Jesus in a camper van he said sorry to Leave you but I've done all I can I suppose even the son of God Gets it hard sometimes
I love this song. It's got to be so true. I'm sure Jesus is looking down on the planet and wondering how we could fuck a planet up and hasten our own demise. But he also knows that we have the capacity to learn, create and reach impossible heights. The question is, will we?
@pitfa1 i can imagine, i lost my dear Father in law a few days ago.....i feel wretched. he wasn't a Robbie fan, more of a 60s kind of guy ha ha. Stay strong hun xx
Robbie got sued for appropriatin’ bits from somebody else. Was offered a choice - pay 50% royalties, or drop the song. I retain the og CD in the hopes of Robbo attaining valuable collector status someday…
I dont speak your language but i think in the video you site that ive been expecting you was released in 2002, it was released in 1998, but the album was repackaged after a lawsuit, with jesus in a campervan removed and replaced with the song its only us.

Good luck to you

I called my dog mama, she has 10 babies and we're all together here in Croatia. I've had alot of losses too. Come see the puppies.
Here I am again, he’s 60 today! Happy 60th Roland 😘
I was 20.. she was 40 we used to listen to this album and bang. What can I say... it was awesome. Good times :)
She'll be like 60 now no? Should hit it again 🤣
Brilliant 👏

Lost my mum 8 years today, Robbie was her favourite so I'm listening to him ALL day!

ah right... I read somewhere it was also because the US took offence to the lyrics. Kind of a shame as it was my favourite song on the album.
This was a funeral song for my brother,I'm sad I have search so hard for it
I'm glad you were able to find it. If you want a physical copy of it, I'm sure it's for sale on ebay or some online site like that.
It's on some of the earlier versions of the release (mostly in the UK). It's why I haven't gotten rid of my old copy yet. :)
Callanish I had a copy of Ego has Landed on Cassette, that mysteriously had the song replaced with It's Only US for the CD version.... now I know why. Cheers!
Absolutely the best robbie williams song ever!!!! apart from Angels obviously.
Good job I have the original album on my ipod classic
Thanks ;-)
Shalom! Robbie Williams, Man Blessed For YHWH , Man Very Funny & Very Cool! Jesus Love You.
love this song....
I had the album on CD, or bmti be truthful my sister did. I love Robbie. Damn court orders!
Ho l'album in cassetta, per fortuna con questa canzone.
Отличная песня. Только дорого обошлась Робби!
I'm kinda addicted to that one :)
The best times ever 90- 2000

And there's nothin' left to do but kneel down
And pray
Sail away with Caesar if you're a non believer
Everybody get high if you're a

It's the devil that needs ya so go out and play
Blame yourself it's easier
There's no need to trouble her you trouble her
Jesus in a camper van he said sorry to
Leave you but I've done all I can
I suppose even the son of God
Gets it hard sometimes
Especially when he goes round
Saying I am the way
And now it's four in the mornin' yes yes y'all in
No one can shoot but everybody's scoring
Trust me it's boring get down and pray
They told you not to meddle with the bass and The treble
There's dust on your needle and you think that
You're a rebel
You're Evel Knievel so get down and pray
Blame yourself it's easier
There's no need to trouble her you trouble her
Jesus in a camper van he said sorry to
Leave you but I've done all I can
I suppose even the son of God

And that's exactly why I'm listening now.
i have millennium album and this song is on it.
He made him ride on the heights of the earth, and eat the fruits of the field; he also made him suck honey from the rock and oil from the hard flint.
@churchy1ify Thank you
SINCE ALBUM 1998
Who got this one?!! May 5th 2024
@3parada you're welcome =D
@churchy1ify Really sorry about your father in law. Thank you :)
WTF. They judged this song such way, that this song cannot be on Spotify!
Copywrite reasons.
why this song is not on spotify ?.. any ideas ?

Where is the lyrics?
2018 anyone?
@pitfa1 so sorry =(
No lyrics lol
@dfu05229 :)
I’m never buying fairy as it was the advent
downvote because there are no lyrics
Well it doesn't sound like an instrumental
Dislike. Not a subject for an artist with so many addictions like him. i'm dissapointed.
Mihai fuck off ya bellend
I would have thought addiction would increase the chances of singing about fictional beings in campervans
