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

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
Synopsis Recorded on October 16th 2002 at one of two huge arena shows in Scotland, this unique concert recording sees the modfather revisiting some Style Council and Jam material for the first time since going solo. Although he has attempted acoustic renditions of his past glories, never before has he performed full-band version of his classic early material, but he more than makes up for that with this special show. Tracklist includes: 'Town Called Malice', 'Man In The Cornershop', and 'Pretty Green'. Tracks from The Jam's collective ouvre are all given an airing, as well as a smattering of Style Council material, and highlight's from Weller's solo career. Thirty tracks in total.

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
From: Paul Weller - Two Classic Performances DVD Live - Route Of Kings / Later... With Jools Holland

All Good Books (lyrics)
If Jesus could hear us now bending all his words of which he's proud but the carpenter was only making invitations voicing the opinions of others
sending down a word that travels well only as a vessel as a bell and the violence you've mistaken in the words you took to be taken and the images of hatred against all that we're worth all that you love all that you give all we hold dear
If Mohammed could see us now shaking down the walls but not as prayer and the power games that play out and the lies that come within out against all we are worth all we hold dear all that is true all that we love all we dream of all that you give

The Style Council - Heavens Above - Lyrics
Heavens above what have we done Oh, we've killed off the thing we had so little of True, love has no truth without a price But the cost of loving has been blown sky high Spend on the hope the call the peacemaker And pray to their god - the heavy rainmaker Paegans of wealth they dance so freely As they give away the life that comes so cheaply
Don't you see - there's a better way for us to be And in the back of your mind - you know its just a matter of time
Time here today is life tomorrow Oh but life means less now the time is borrowed Paid for in blood, the donors seem keen As they realise too late they've been so cheated
Surely by now we've paid the price What is there left to sacrifice You take the power - you take the pay You steal the will and have the say I'm sure by now there's not much left One hand on heart - one on a breast You steal the milk - you milk the land But your time is up - your time is sand!

You're The Best Thing - Lyrics
I could be discontent and chase the rainbows end I might win much more but lose all that is mine I could be a lot but I know I'm not I'm content just with the riches that you bring I might shoot to win and commit the sin Of wanting more than I've already got I could runaway but I'd rather stay In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day (the one that makes me say, heh)
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world You're the best thing that ever happened - so don't go away
I might be a king and steal my peoples things But I don't go for that power crazy way All that I could rule but I don't check for fools All that I need is to be left to live my way (say listen what I say)
I could chase around for nothing to be found But why look for something that is never there I may get it wrong sometimes but I'll come back in style For I realise your love means more than anything (the song you make me sing - yeah)

Come To Milton Keynes - Lyrics
May I walk you home tonight On this fine and lovely night tonight - We'll walk past the luscious houses Through rolling lawns and lovely flowers - Our nice new town where the curtains are drawn Where hope is started and dreams can be borne Let us share our insanity Go mad together in community Boys on the corner looking for their supper Boys round the green looking for some slaughter - We used to chase dreams now we chase the dragon Mine is the semi with the union jack on
In our paradise lost we'll be finding our sanity In this paradise found we'll be losing our way - For a brave new day
May I slash my wrists tonight On this fine conservative night tonight - I was looking for a job so I came to town I easily adopt when the chips are down - I read the ad about the private schemes I liked the idea but now I'm not so keyne

The Jam - Move On Up - Lyrics
Hush now child and don't you cry Your folks might understand you by and by Move on up towards your destination You may find from time to time Complications *Bite* your lip and take a trip Though there may be wet road ahead You cannot slip So move on up and peace you will find Into the steeple of beautiful people Where there's only one kind
So hush now child and don't you cry Your folks might understand you by and by Just move on up and keep on wishing Remember your dreams are your only schemes So keep on pushing
Take nothing less - not even second best And do not obey - you must have your say You can *pass* the test
