Video: Paul Weller - Wild Wood


Wild Wood (lyrics)

High tide - mid afternoon
People fly by, in the traffics boom
Knowing - where you're blowing
Getting to where, you should be going.
Don't let, them get you down
Making you feel, guilty about
Golden rain, bring you riches
All the good things - you deserve now.

Climbing, forever trying
Find your way out - of the wild, wild wood
Now theres no justice
There's only yourself - that you can trust in
And I said - high tide, mid afternoon
People fly by, in the traffics boom
Knowing - just where you're blowing
Getting to where, you should be going

Day by day, your world fades away
Waiting to feel - all the dreams that say
Golden rain, will bring you riches
All the good things - you deserve now - and I say
Climbing, forever trying
Find your way out - of the wild, wild wood.

The Paul Weller Movement live - Kosmos

The Paul Weller Movement live, 1979

Video: The Paul Weller Movement live - Kosmos


Paul Weller - Kosmos (lyrics)

Life's complexities trouble your rise,
As you attempt to ascend into the high,
Is there nowhere else left to run,
But to the Kosmos - men gaze - to look for heaven.

Flying high - never come down,
Flying high - don't know how to come down.

Take a ride into the soon,
Be the first one on the moon,
Take a slide - come back to earth,
But it's to the Kosmos - men dare - to look for something.

Flying high - never come down,
Flying high - don't know how to come down.

No time to spare - Destiny is here,
No time to lose - better if we choose,
Less time to share - people stop and stare,
To look for hope above the clouds - to look for heaven.

A world away, a million light years,
That's how far destruction seems,
Now our dreams are sad, slow creatures,
Dying to know - who am I? what am I?
Where am I to go?

Paul Weller: Wings of Speed

With Carleen Anderson & Jhelisa Anderson.

Video: Paul Weller - Wings of Speed


Paul Weller: Wings of Speed (lyrics)

Fly on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see
As I wait for your smile.
Though my hands are tied,
My feet are bound by fate
With clay at the base - As I sit and wait
What visions I see.

In dreams, she floats on a stream,
With Jesus at the helm, the water reeds that beg,
Her boat along the way - As she comes to me

Now as the light is falling
One candle left to light the way,
Sailing home to morning
She comes to me calling,

To brighten up my darkest day,
& the world fades away..
With her smile.

Fly, on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see,
As I wait for your smile -

Paul Weller: Pan & Wings of Speed

Paul Weller in Berlin.

Video: Paul Weller: Pan & Wings of Speed


Paul Weller: Pan (lyrics)

He is not the God of creation
But he is the Lord
Of the morning light
And with his song
That floats on up
Through the daybreak
It is he that
Will stay daylong

Through the dawns early mists
That rise with the river
Through the sound of the world
Once more awake
You can feel
His presence strong
As forever as once more
The ice of night time melts

Give way the day
Give way the day
As we start again

Is he not the God of creation
Is he not the God of creation
Is he not the God of creation

Paul Weller: Wings of Speed (lyrics)

Fly on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see
As I wait for your smile.
Though my hands are tied,
My feet are bound by fate
With clay at the base - As I sit and wait
What visions I see.

In dreams, she floats on a stream,
With Jesus at the helm, the water reeds that beg,
Her boat along the way - As she comes to me

Now as the light is falling
One candle left to light the way,
Sailing home to morning
She comes to me calling,

To brighten up my darkest day,
& the world fades away..
With her smile.

Fly, on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see,
As I wait for your smile -

Paul Weller - Heavy Soul

199's Later With Jools Holland.

Video: Paul Weller - Heavy Soul


Heavy Soul (lyrics)

We’re words upon a window
Written there in steam
In the heat of the moment
At the birth of a dream
Vapors passing really
So I’m touched by the thoughts
In the fleeting minutes after
The time that we’ve come
Come and go, you know, where the wind blows
An’ though I couldn’t define
I can only tell you that i
Got a heavy soul

Tuesdays dressed in shearling
Anchored on belief
In the sunlight on the water
Or rain upon a leaf
And I’m touched by its’ beauty
And I hope to touch you too
’cause I still seek the same things
That I once sought to be true
And you know, that where the wind blows
Tho’ I wouldn’t be lying, when I tell you that i
Got a heavy soul
It’s a joy to know
I’ve got a heavy soul

We’re words upon a window
Written there in steam
In the heat of the moment
Everything is what it seems
Vapors passing nearly
So I’m touched by the thought
That I can’t be beaten and I can’t be bought
And you’ll know..........
That where the wind blows
I don’t think I’d be lyin’
When I tell you that i
I’ve got a heavy soul

Paul Weller & Steve Cradock Berlin 2007: Savages

Video: Savages
From All Mod Cons: http://phoqueme.blogspot.com/


Savages (lyrics)

you're savages, he knows you are..
do you not think that god is looking down?
on you savages.. the children run, to mothers
you put bullets in their backs
ah cowards, can you not see
do you not think that love is coming down?

you have no gods, they have all disowned you,
you have no love, so you take it out on,
people's lives in progress,
that's what keeps you going when you're savages

savages, you can dress it up,
give it a name and a fancy uniform
and a flag to fly to hide behind,
can you not see the truth that's on the ground

you have no love,
it has all gone cold on you,
you never have, so you take it out on
those whose love is growing,
that's what you hate most, when you're savages

do you not see the love is coming down?
