Lyrics: The Style Council - Long Hot Summer
I play out my role Why Ive even been out walking They tell me that it helps But I know when Im beaten All those lonely films And all those lonely parties But now the feeling is off-screen An the tears for real not acted, anymore
Im all mixed up inside I want to run but I cant hide And however much we try We cant escape the truth and the fact is
Dont matter what I do It dont matter what I do Dont matter what I do Dont matter what I do Dont matter what I do cause I end up hurting you
One more covered sigh And one more glance you know means goodbye Cant you see thats why Were dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime
(in my mind different voices call) What once was pleasure nows pain for us all (in my heart only shadows fall) I once stood proud now I feel so small (I dont know whether to laugh or cry) The long hot summer just passed me by

Lyrics: Paul Weller - Up In Suzes' Room
Yellow strands mingle into red Warm air blows, down upon her soft bed She licks my face and the feeling spreads I'm up in Suzes' room - flowers bloom-ing-ful I'm up in Suzes' room - where life goes so soon
She's anything that you can call free She's everything that she wants to be She has everything that you could want to see I'm up in Suzes' room - flowers full in bloom I'm up in Suzes' room - where time goes so soon Soon, against the moon A big sky paints - but she calls the tunes She's cool that way - how I wish it could stay Forever that way
No one moves - no one can When luck rolls its' coins, they land where they stand To make us everything that you never planned I'm up in Suzes' room - people bloom-ing-ful Up in Suzes' room - where life goes so soon

Lyrics: Paul Weller - Close to You
Why do birds suddenly appear Every time you are near? Just like me, they long to be Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky Every time you walk by? Just like me, they long to be Close to you
From the day that you were born, the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon-dust in your hair of gold And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the guys in town Follow you all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you
From the day that you were born, the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon-dust in your hair of gold And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the guys in town Follow you all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you Yeah, just like me, they long to be Close to you.
Oh darling Just like me, they long to be Close to you Just like me, they long to be Just like me, they long to be Just like me, they long to be Just like me, they long to be
