Song lyrics
There's no earthly way of knowing
What was in your heart
When it stopped going
The whole world shook
A storm was blowing through you
Waiting for god to stop this
And up to your neck in darkness
Everyone around you was corrupted
Saying something

There's no dignity in death
To sell the world your last breath
We're still fighting over
Everything you left over

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

No one learned from your mistakes
We let our profits go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space

Through your eyes the world was burning
Please be gentle I'm still learning
You seemed to say as you kept turning up

They poisoned you with compromise
At what point did you realize
Everybody loves your life but you

A special agent for the man
Through Watergate and Vietnam
No one really gave a damn
Did you think the CIA did

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

No one learned from your mistake
We let our prophets go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

No one learned from your mistakes
We let our profits go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space

I've seen your daughter
Man she's cute
I was scared but I wanted to
Boy she looks a lot like you

This could be a very annoying but classic song like "Angels". Has the same qualities.

Great song actually, only the thought of Marlon Brando is killing the romantic factor some

[b] This song is about Elvis Pressley. What a song?! I couldnt Imagine that someone can give a TRIBUTE to someone like this? Well Robbie u finally captured my Heart. I was impressed by Angel and FEEL and somewhat Eternity. But this being so nice, is my favourite song nowadays! the word ADVERTISING SPACE....hhaha its great! It really makes me sad, and somewhat Nostalgic . In the end, u talk about his daughter "Lisa Marie Pressley" I loved that part too. Well, Lisa is also a singer with strange, great, lovely and drowsy Vocals as Chris Cornell of Audioslave. Go on like this ROBBIE, U really doing Great!

I love the intro. I sing along to it everytime I hear
it on the radio. I like it. It's not as good as
"Tripping" though.

This is a brillant song. It took me a while to notice it was about Elvis. The term Advertising Space is uses by Journalist for the lay out in a paper that can be sold for adverts. I think Robbie is suggesting thast Elvis's whole life was about what money could be made from him and what could be sold. So when he died all was left was "advertising space"!! Cool huh! Elvis was rumoured to be a spy through out the watergate and vietnam scandals. The way he captures the sadness of Elvis's life and admits he'd like to have tried it on with Lisa Marie but was too scared. Marlon Brando was Elvis's own hero! By way Marlon Brando in his younger days was a sex god to rival only Elvis with his good looks.
All that aside even if it was about nothing it would still be a great song from the melody alone!

Marlon Brando was an incredibly gorgeous oscar winning actor (watch a streetcar named desire and see what i mean!!) who became notorious for his failed marraiges and grew obese etc u can se why he is included in this song.

im not robbies biggest fan but this song is a total masterpiece, really shows his musical maturity
