Paul Weller: All The Pictures On The Wall

Video: All The Pictures On The Wall, live from Sonaria Italy 1995



Paul Weller: All The Pictures On The Wall - Lyrics

And all the pictures on the wall
Serve only to remind you of it all
The wasted days we could have lived
Now we're left with nothing left to give
There was a time I really loved you
But when that was I just can't say
As all the memories merge into one
As each day becomes each day

The clock hands ticking on the wall
Are just reminders of it all
The wasted days we could have lived
Now we're left with nothing left to give

We used to meet each others' eyes
And that's all we'd have to say
Now we don't talk that much at all
The further our eyes seem to stray

And in a funny kind of way
This empty room was full one day
Full of love that we once shared - now it all looks so bare
The silent walls whose cracks I feel -
But is there room to let the hatred heal?

Paul Weller: Up In Suzes' Room

Video: Paul Weller - Up In Suzes' Room
Live at Southbank 1997


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

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: 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

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: 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 - The Start Of Forever

From the album As Is Now

Video: Paul Weller - The Start Of Forever


Lyrics: Paul Weller - The Start Of Forever

Hold tight angel
Morning will soon be here
Washing your pillow
In swathes of gold and red

Our time is waiting
In the wings of uncertainty
Our love is waking
You’re born to be with me

I know it takes
To the start of forever
That’s a long time -such a long time
To be waiting
In the sun

Your soul so peaceful
How could I have been so mean
Feel I’ve been sleeping
Might have looked
but I’ve never seen

Your beauty takes
To the start of forever
That’s a long time - such a long time
To be waiting
In the sun

Feel I’ve been sleeping
I’m born to be with you

To the start of forever
It’s the start of forever
It’s a long time - such a long time
To be waiting - in the sun

Lyrics: Paul Weller - Wild Wood

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.

Paul Weller: Savages

Video: Paul Weller playing Savages at Jools Hooland Later show 06


Lyrics: Savages

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?

Woodcutters Son - Paul Weller

Video: Woodcutters Son - Paul Weller

Lyrics: Woodcutters Son - Paul Weller

Sugartown has turned so sour
It's people angry in their sleep
There's more small-town paranoia
Sweeping down its evil sheets -

You can tell it's witching hour
You can feel the spirits rise
When the room goes very quiet
And there's hatred in their eyes -

You better give me the chance
I'll cut you down with a glance
Yeh, with my small axe - so help me,
And tho' I'm only one
And tho' weak I'm strong
And if it comes to the crunch
Then I'm the woodcutter's son

And I'm cutting down the wood for the
Good of everyone!

There's a silence when I enter
And a murmur when I leave
I can see their jealous faces
I can feel the ice they breathe

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

Live - Route Of Kings / Later... With Jools Holland

Synopsis
Former Jam/Style Council frontman Paul Weller is featured here belting out classic songs from his back catalogue. The first set features his full band live in Hyde Park, London and this is followed by a special acoustic performance from Jools Holland's Later.. television show.

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

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

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,

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

Here's The Good News (lyrics)

A clock face ticking on empty dial
I only want what I know is mine
Sound the bells
‘Cause here’s the good new

Here’s the one you been waiting for
Your time has come
Ain’t gonna wait no more
Can I get a piece for me

You know when something’s up
When it hits you hard
You feel like starting over
Straight back for yards
When everything is everything
And everything you see
Sees us doing all the things
That we want to be

Millions march back on their feet
Still no sign from, a, those who preach
Teach me not
They don’t represent me

Here’s the one you been waiting for
Don’t waste time
Ain’t gonna wait no more
Can I get a shout for me

You know when something’s up
When it hits you hard
You feel like starting over
Straight back for yards
When everything is everything
And everything you see
Sees us doing all the things
That we want to be

Nothing’s new and nothing gained
When all is lost and nothing claimed
Except the parts
They keep for theirselves

Here’s the one you been waiting for
Don’t waste time
Ain’t gonna wait no more
Can I get a shout for me
Can I get a little piece for me
For me
Oh, for me
For me
