Lyrics: The Jam - Fly

The way that sunlight flits across your skirt,
Makes me feel I’m from another world,
To touch your face in the morning light.
I hope you’re always gonna be around.
The times I struggle to understand why,
The ancient proverbs like who am i?
Why am I here and what have I done?
I see the answer’s place my trust in you

Trust in you love, be with me then,
That’s when I want you, that’s when I need you the most.

I want us to be like peter pan
But dreams it seems are weightless as sand,
And man’s supposedly is made of sand
It seems that man cannot survive at all

Let’s disappear love, let’s fly away
Into the demi-monde, into the twilight zone
The times inside I spent screaming at you
Release me please from this mortal jail
One shrug or smile can determine my fate,
I’m lost for days and have myself to blame

Something I’m giving, is yours for the taking,
Something like sunlight, love is a spotlight
Love is all sorrow, still I’ll meet you tomorrow
And look forward to see you, now I can’t live without you

Lyric: Paul Weller - Sunflower

I don't care how long this lasts
We have no future, we have no past
I write this now while I'm in control
I'll choose the words and how the melody goes,
Along winding streets we walked hand in hand
And how I long for that sharp wind
To take my breath away again
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Hair like a wheatfield I'd run through
That I'd run through -
And I miss you so - I miss you so
No you're gone I feel so alone
I miss you so
I'd send you a flower - a sunflower bright
`Cause you cloud my days messing up my nights
And all the way up to the top of your head
Sunshower kisses I felt we had
And I miss you so - Oh baby I miss you so
Now your gone, I feel so low - oh I miss you so, I do
But I miss you so - Oh darling I miss you so
Now your gone, I feel so low - oh I said I miss you so, I do
All I gotta do is think of you - and I miss you so
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - I miss you so
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - Oh I miss you so

Paul Weller turns 50 this May: A cutting from March issue of MOJO

Paul Weller turns 50 this May, and is to mark the occasion with his ninth solo record, and his first double-disc set, 22 Dreams. "I feel I live and die by my last album," he says from his Black Barn studio in Ripley, where he's putting the finishing touches to the follow-up to 2005's As Is Now. "And this one I can definitely live by. I feel rejuvenated by it."...

Paul Weller: The Changingman

Video: Paul Weller - The Changingman


Lyrics: Paul Weller - The Changingman

Is happiness real?
Or am I so jaded
I can't see or feel - like a man been tainted
Numbed by the effect - aware of the muse
Too in touch with myself - I light the fuse

I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands
I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang-
As I light a bitter fuse

Time is on loan - only ours to borrow
What I can't be today - I can be tomorrow

And the more I see - the more I know
The more I know - the less I understand.

I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands
I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang-
To light a bitter fuse

It's a bigger part -
When our instincts act
A shot in the dark -
A movement in black

And the more I see - the more I know
The more I know - the less I understand.

I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands
(I don't have a plan)
I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang-
To light a bitter fuse

Lyrics: Paul Weller - Its Written in the Stars

it’s written in the wind
that we’re two
carved out in the sand
that we’re real
it’s lit up in the stars
that we’re true
we’re destined in the sky
to be glad

we’re hopelessly informed
that we’re meant
we’re conscious of the fact
that we’re supposed
to be so sure
and we are
we’re driven by the
rain to act

we’re suspect to the laws
passed for real
when we’re the realest
thing we’ve seen
taken by the hand from above
I really do feel
we work for love

and it’s written in the stars
meant for us
soaked into the sand
made by time
taken by the hand from above
I really do feel
that we work for love

it’s written in the wind
that we’re two
carved out in the sand
that we’re real
it’s lit up in the stars
that we’re true
we’re destined in the sky
to be glad

The Style Council - The Lodgers (Live): '87 Japan Tour

Live in Japan, 1987.

Video: The Style Council - The Lodgers (Live)


Lyrics: The Style Council - The Lodgers

No peace for the wicked - only war on the poor
They're batting on pickets - trying to even the score
It's all inclusive - the dirt comes free
And you can be all that you want to be
Oh an equal chance and an equal pay
But equally there's no equal pay
There's room on top - if you tow the line
And if you believe all this you must be out of your mind

There's only room for those the same
Those who play the leeches game
Don't get settled in this place
The lodger's terms are in disgrace

Getcha brains blown out - in a captain's mess
Stand for the queen if you can stand the test
It's all thrown in and the lies come free
And you can be all that they want you to be

Oh if you work hard you can be the boss
But if you don't work at all then that's nobody's loss
There's room on top - if you dig in low
And the idea is what they reap you sow

With an old school tie and a reference
You can cover up crimes in their defence
It's all thrown in and the lies come free
And you can be all that they want you to be

Paul Weller: Can You Heal Us (Holy Man)

Live performance by Paul Weller of Can You Heal Us (Holy Man) on The Late Show broadcast on BBC in 1994.

Video: Can You Heal Us (Holy Man)


Lyrics: Can You Heal Us (Holy Man)

Crystal words that hang so fine - But none will stop us falling
Pulling faster all the time - Powerless to warnings
If you feel the hand of God - Can you guide it holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement
Still saying! Daddy don't weep Momma don't cry
Everybody gets their time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me
I'll do the same for you

Split the Father and the Son - Hand words to ease them
If you have the hand of God - Can you heal us holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement

Still saying!
Hang on tight hang on strong
How much longer can this go on
But don't be sad don't be blue - It's one more thing set to confuse

Daddy don't weep Momma don't cry
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me
I'll do the same for you.

Can you bring the hand of God?
Can you stop the killing?
Get us back to hope and love - Never more be needed -

Still saying!
Bloods gone bad bad to worse
Worse to bad and back again
But don't be sad don't be blue - It's one more thing sent to confuse

Momma don't weep Daddy don't cry
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me I'll do the same for you.

Paul Weller: Out Of The Sinking

Live performance by Paul Weller of Out Of The Sinking on The Late Show broadcast on BBC2 in 1994.

Video: Paul Weller: Out Of The Sinking


Lyrics: Paul Weller - Out Of The Sinking

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

Lyrics: The Jam - Start

It's not important for you to know my name
Nor I to know yours
If we communicate for two minutes only
It will be enough!
For knowing that someone in this world
Feels as desperate as me
And what you give is what you get
It doesn't matter if we never meet again
What we have said will always remain
If we get through for two minutes only
It will be a start!
For knowing that someone in this life
Loves with a passion called hate
And what you give is what you get
If I never ever see you
If I never ever see you
If I never ever see you... again
And what you give is what you get

Paul Weller - Wild Blue Yonder

Live from 2006 At The 100 Club.

Video: Paul Weller - Wild Blue Yonder


Lyrics: Paul Weller - Wild Blue Yonder

Lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
backing it up, leaving it all behind.

Lets go loving like we know we all are,
lets go loving like we know we all are,
lets go loving like we know we all are,
backing it up, leaving it all behind.

While we're thinking 'bout thinking it over,
while we're thinking 'bout thinking it over,
while we're thinking 'bout thinking it over,
the world has turned, another day has gone.

I wonder who I am,
and what you really think about me.
I wonder who you are,
and what I really feel to you.

Lets go loving in the wild green clover,
lets go loving in the wild green clover,
lets go loving in the wild green clover,
the world has turned, another day has passed.

Lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder.

Lets go sailing,
lets go sailing,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder.
Lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder.
Lets go sailing.

Paul Weller - I Forgot To Be Your Lover (William Bell)

Live Jools Holland Show 90's.

Paul Weller - I Forgot To Be Your Lover (William Bell)


Lyrics: I Forgot To Be Your Lover (William Bell)

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Well, if I didn't darling, I'm sorry
Did I reach out and hold you in my loving arms
Oh, when you needed me?
Now I realize that you need love, too
And I'll spend my life making love to you

Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

Have I taken the time to share with you
All the burden that love will fare?
And have I done the little simple things to show you
Just how much I care?
Oh, I've been workin' for you, doin' all I can
To work all the time didn't make me a man

Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you somehow, baby
I forgot to be your lover
Gonna make it up to you somehow
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby
I forgot to be your lover
If you forgive me, I'll make it up to you
I'm only a man, and I forgot to be ....
