Paul Weller - From The Floorboards Up - Lyrics

I’ve got a feeling
From the floorboards up
Call it a calling
If you like that touch
Call it what you will
I really don’t care too much

I’ve got a feeling
And I know it’s right
I get it most evenings
If not every night
It sings in the air
And dances like candle light

When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Papa, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up

I get a feeling
From the walls and chairs
They tell me of the things that
Have always been there
And all that is not
Will have to go back to dust

When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Papa, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up


I’ve got a feeling
And I know it’s right
I get it most evenings
If not every night
It sings in the air
And dances like candle light

When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Daddy, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up

Paul Weller - Thinking of you - Lyrics

Everybody, let me tell you 'bout my love
Brought to me, by an angel from above
Full equipped with a lifetime guarantee
Once you try it, well I'm sure that you will be

Without love There's no reason to live
Without you what would I do with the love I give
All my lovin' To you I'll be giving
And I promise, as long as I'm living

I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy

All the times you make me glad that I'm alive
sharing together, helping me survive
What did you think, brought the sun out today
well it's you, let me hear you sing

Without love There's no reason to live
Without you what would I do with the love I give
All my lovin' To you I'll be giving
And I promise, as long as I'm living

I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy

Without love (and the things you do to me)
Without you (now I'm living in ecstasy)
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy

Oh, I'm thinking of you-ou-ou
and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you-ou-ou
and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you
and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
Oh, I'm thinking of you-ou-ou
and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you-ou-ou
and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you-ou-ou
and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy

The Jam - English Rose - Lyrics

No matter where I roam
I will return to my English rose
For no bonds can ever tempt me from she
I've sailed the seven seas,
Flown the whole blue sky.
But I've returned with haste to where my
Love does lie.
No matter where I go I will come back to my English Rose
For nothing, "could" ever "keep" me from she.
I've searched the secret mists -
I've climbed the highest peaks
Caught the wild wind home
To hear her soft voice speak
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English Rose
For no bonds can ever keep me from she.

I've been to ancient worlds
I've scoured the whole universe
And caught the first train home
To be at her side.
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English Rose
For no bonds, can ever keep me from she.

Paul Weller - Headstart For Happiness - Lyrics

When i find you waiting hours; oh,
You're there to save my life for our obvious goal
We've got a headstart for happiness
For our part, guess we must be blessed
For this feeling to be so strong
Tell me is that so wrong?
The space betweeen us for days has been so far;
I've spent a lonely week
Now i wanna be where you are
We've got a headstart for happiness, for our part
Guess we must be kissed by this force i feel inside
Now i'm not gonna hide.

All the roads that lead to struggles
Bring you back to where you need
Some reassurance in your own depth,
Only you can see, but let others feel
Peace in my mind i'm so happy to find
As i get on my trek with a headstart back to you.

When i find you waiting hours, oh
It's my heart, not my head that takes control
And you've got to lead where your heart says go
And this hope that it turns out so
And that's all that you can hope for
Can you expect much more?

Naive and wise with no sense of time
As i set my clock with a heart beat, tick tock
Violent and mild - common sense says i'm wild
With this mixed up fury, crazy beauty
It's healthy to find all these feelings inside
As i get on my trek with a headstart back to you.

Paul weller - Going Places - Lyrics

Come to my side child
don't leave me alone
stay with me darling
I can't face this on my own.
I need you to be with me
I need you in life
I want to forever
be yours and you'll be mine
oh child
cos' we're going places
never thought we could
through all kinds of changes
but still our hearts beat closer more and more.
More than just a heart beat
from the city floor
more than just the bright lights
that lend me to your distant shore.
I'm keeping my head up
and out of the sand
way 'cross the rooftops
I'm gonna plan our escape
oh child
we're going places
never dreamt we could
through all kinds of changes
but still our hearts beat closer more and more (x2)

Neil Young - Ohio - Lyrics

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Paul Weller Live-Out Of The Sinking

Performed live in 1997

Paul Weller - Foot of The Mountain (Live - Glastonbury 1994)

Video: Paul Weller - Foot of The Mountain


Paul Weller - Foot of The Mountain - Lyrics

Like a dream on the ocean
Always drifting away
And I can't catch up
She just skips away - on the tide
Sometimes a great notion
Can lead you astray
So weak to devotion
So strong to desire

Baby, baby, baby won't you let me ride
Take me off on your sail boat ride
Come on now angels, are on your side
But she slips away - oh, and never stays

Like mercury gliding
A silver teardrop that falls
And I CAN'T HOLD ON
Through my fingers she's gone

At the foot of the mountain
Such a long way to climb
How will I ever get up there -
Though I know I must try

Baby, baby, baby won't you let me ride
Take me off on your sail boat ride
Come on now angels, are on your side
But she slips away - oh, and never stays

Like a dream on the ocean
Always drifting away
And I can't catch up
She just skips away - on the tide

She just slips away - on the tide
Skips away - as she glides

Paul Weller - Out Of The Sinking - Lyrics

Past midnight's hold -
Where the world's awaiting -
I'll wait for you love -
But I close my eyes, as there's pain too in paradise -
Hey baby say - just what you're thinking -
Know I know it - yeh, feel I'm sinking -
Know I feel it - I know you feel it too -
Across the water, there's a boat that -
will take us away.

It is shining for me
All I need to be
But I can't find the key
The one to make me believe-

Late at night -
When the world is dreaming -
Way past the stars -
That ignore our fate & all twinkle too late to save us -
so we save ourselves.

Hey baby say - just what you're thinking
Know I know it - yeh, feel I'm sinking
Know I feel it - I know you feel it too -
Across the water, there's a boat that -
Will take us away -

Far from the madness - out of the sadness
Into sunlight - out of the sinking -
You know I feel it,
I know you it too -
Across the water, there's a boat that will take us away -
And there we will stay

Paul Weller - Into Tomorrow - Lyrics

Into the mists of time and space
Where we have no say over date and place
Don't get embarrassed if it happens a lot,
That you don't know how you started or where you're gonna stop
And if at times it seems insane - all the tears in searching;
Turning all your joy to pain - in pursuit of learning;
Buy a dream and hideaway - can't escape the sorrow;
Your mojo will have no effect - as we head into tomorrow

Round and round like a twisted wheel
Spinning in attempt to find the feel
Find the path that will help us find
A feeling of control over lives and minds

And if at times it seems insane - all the tears in searching;
Turning all your joy to pain - in pursuit of learning;
Buy a dream and hideaway - can't escape the sorrow;
Your mojo will have no effect - as we head

Into the stars and always up
Drinking from a broken cup
Whose golden gleam is fading fast
Praying that it has not passed
Into tomorrow

Come Together - Paul Weller with Paul McCartney

The Beatles - Come Together - Lyrics

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me

The Style Council - A Stone's Throw Away - Lyrics

For liberty there is a cost - its broken skulls and leather cosh,
From the boys in uniform - now you know whose side their on -
With backing - with blessing,
From earthly gods not heaven,
A stones throw away from it all.

Whatever pleasures those who get - from stripping skin with rhino whip,
Are the kind that must be stopped - before their kind take all we've got -
With loving - with caring,
They take great pride in working,
The stones throw away from it all.

Whenever honesty persists - you'll hear the snap of broken ribs,
Of anyone who'll take no more - of the lying bastards roar -
In Chile - In Poland,
Johannesburg - South Yorkshire,
A stones throw away: Now we're there.

The bStyle Council - Top Peoples Health farm

Life at a top peoples health farm and an inteview from Japanese Tv



The bStyle Council - Top Peoples Health farm - Lyrics

Dads gone down the dog track, Engels' laying cables
Brothers with his student friends plotting in the stables
They're preparing for power and how to win
I'm covered in Solaire and preparing to swim
";Old Iron! Old Iron!"; - I heard the bobby shout
As he brought his friendly truncheon down with
with a God Almighty clout.
Mothers playing bingo, she's hoping for a big win
She buys the daily papers to see how 10% live
My cousins' greatest wish, is to one day buy a farm
And turn it into a health club with top people charm
";Any evening, any day"; - I'm singing to myself
I'll pack up all my clothes and dough and piss off somewhere else.

My ol' man was a dust person until he got the shove
Now the iron heel he talked about is backed by the iron glove
Brothers bought new glasses, shaped like Leon Trotsky's
They look very nice on the mantlepiece, next to the Royal family
I'm laying back with the radio on, in time to hear the Archer's
An everyday tale of country folk mixed up in prostitution.

Like all good stories with a happy end, which I'll now give to you
Our cousins wish was granted and so his dream came true
His gas shares doubled, while his telecoms soared
Til he had enough money, to chair his own board
And thank you Margaret Thatcher, ";may you never come to harm";
He now serves cocktails and lettuce at a Top Peoples Health Club Farm.

The Style Council - A Solid Bond In Your Heart (lyrics)

Feel is a word I cant explain
At least not in words that are plain
Make it easy to express
But Ill try to do my best
To hit you where it counts
I just want to build up
A solid bond in your heart
(yeah) a solid bond in your heart (aha)

Im fuelled by the idea
That this world was made to share
But it never seems to work out
And all we seem to share
Is doubt and misery
I just want to build up
A solid bond in your heart heart

When you feel in your soul
And your heart begins to blow
Keep it in mind to
Keep on trying

Its like a feeling deep inside
Please dont ever try to hide
That solid bond in your heart

(yeah) a solid bond in your heart (aha)

Aah, I just want to build up
A solid bond in your heart heart
Its whats missing from this life
And the trust you need to ignite
Any dream worth holding dear
When that dream is so near

You gotta try and try to get it back
Push it to the limit and build
A solid bond in your heart

Paul Weller Movement - How She Threw It All Away - Live 1990

Video: Paul Weller Movement - How She Threw It All Away - Live


How She Threw It All Away - Lyrics

Of all the things that money can buy
freedoms never cheap
But all the things she needed in life - she had no need to keep.
Of all the things she asked of me
none were ever fun
And I'm no good at acting while - the cameras on the run.

Don't you know - she threw it all away
I wonder how she feels today.
She threw it all away
I wonder if she's there to stay.

I tried, a bit, to change into - something that I'm not
But trying to mould with dynamite is like giving lions spots.

Guess you knew - she threw it all away
Don't shed a tear there's no need to cry.
She threw it all away
I played both parts in the fool and I.

Yes, I know your hurting inside
but I can't stop those tears in your eyes, falling from your face
Everytime you fall apart
I knew at the start - when it happened again
it was the start of the end for us.

With all the things that money can buy
you'll never be alone
But thankfully you remembered the words
to I "Can't Buy Me Love".

The Jam - Going Underground - Lyrics

Some people might say my life is in a rut,
But I'm quite happy with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more,
But I'm so happy I can't see the point.
Somethings happening here today
A show of strength with your boy's brigade and,
I'm so happy and you're so kind
You want more money - of course I don't mind
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes

And the public gets what the public wants
But I want nothing this society's got -
I'm going underground, (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground, (going underground)
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow

Some people might get some pleasure out of hate
Me, I've enough already on my plate
People might need some tension to relax
[Me?] I'm too busy dodging between the flak

What you see is what you get
You've made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies put you down and their promises rust
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns

And the public wants what the public gets
But I don't get what this society wants
I'm going underground, (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground, (going underground)
[So] let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow

We talk and we talk until my head explodes
I turn on the news and my body froze
The braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!

Going underground, I'm going underground!

The Jam - GHOSTS - Lyrics

Why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you
That ain't no ghost - it's a reflection of you
Why do you turn away - an' keep it out of sight
Oh - don't live up to your given roles
There's more inside you that you won't show

But you keep it hidden just like everyone
You're scared to show you care - it'll make you vulnerable
So you wear that ghost around you for disguise

But there's no need just 'cos it's all we've known
There's more inside you that you haven't shown

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

One day you'll walk right out of this life
And then you'll wonder why you didn't try

To spread some loving all around
Old fashioned causes like that still stand
Gotta rid this prejudice that ties you down

How do you feel at the end of the day
Just like you've walked over your own grave

So why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you
At the moment there's nothing - so there's nothing to lose
Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through

Do They Know Its Christmas? - Band Aid - Lyrics

It's Christmastime
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime

But say a prayer

Pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging
chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
(Oooh) Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmastime again

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

repeat then fade

(Bob Geldof & Midge Ure)
