Paul Weller - Hit Parade Box Set (2006) by Paul Weller (보컬) on maniadb.com

Into the mists of time and space
Where we have no say over date and place
Don't get embarrassed if it happens a lot,
That you don't know how you started or where you're gonna stop
And if at times it seems insane, all the tears in searching;
Turning all your joy to pain, in pursuit of learning;
Buy a dream and hideaway, can't escape the sorrow;
Your mojo will have no effect, as we head into tomorrow

Round and round like a twisted wheel
Spinning in attempt to find the feel
Find the path that will help us find
A feeling of control over lives and minds

And if at times it seems insane, all the tears in searching;
Turning all your joy to pain, in pursuit of learning;
Buy a dream and hideaway, can't escape the sorrow;
Your mojo will have no effect, as we head

Into the stars and always up
Drinking from a broken cup
Whose golden gleam is fading fast
Praying that it has not passed
Into tomorrow

(papayeverteAutumn blew its leaves at me,
Threatening winter as I walked.
Summer always goes so quick, Barely stopping like my thoughts.
Which dip and spin and change so fast
I have to wonder - Will I last.
Through the windows of the train,
I caught reflections of a paper cup,
Hanging small in a pale blue sky,
Never knowing which way's up.
Above the clouds, what's to be found,
I have to wonder - Will I be around.
As my anger shouts - At my own self doubt,
So a sadness creeps - Into my dreams
When you're scared of living - But afraid to die
I get scared of giving - And I must find the faith to beat it
I must be me that's rushing by,
Time just lingers on the wind.
Bristlin' through my open fears,
I wonder what it's going to bring.
Above the clouds, what's to be found,
I have to wonder - Will I be around.
Run and hide, run and hide
I catch the sail at evening's tide.

SUNFLOWER - Paul Weller

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
While you cloud my days, messing up my nights

And all the way up to the top of your head
Sunshower kisses, I feld we had

And I miss you so - I miss you so
All I gotta do, is think of you - and I miss you so

Baby I'm afraid to say why - I miss you so

CAN YOU HEAL US (HOLY MAN) - Paul Weller

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
In the other is a gun - baptized by fear, and

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.

WILD WOOD - Paul Weller

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

ALL THE PICTURES ON THE WALL - Paul Weller

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?

HAS MY FIRE REALLY GONE OUT?

And when I open my eyes - will it then be morning?
First rays of summer sun - coming down and shining

And if I open my heart and say all that you would want
Hope, faith and all I believe will be there to greet me

And if I open my head, remember all that I said
Hey baby, what will you find - coming down to meet you?

A lot of words but no one talking
I don't want no part of that
Something real is what I'm seeking
One clear voice in the wilderness

And put an end to all your doubts -
Has my fire really, really gone out?

COUNTRY - Paul Weller

I know a place not far from here
Where life's sweet perfume fills the air
And if you want, I'll take you there
If you want, I'll take you there

Into the light out of the dark
Where only love can heal your heart
And if you want I'll make a start
If you want - I'll make a start

This place I say, half hour away
Is that so far to go? - so near
And further on we'll find the time
And lose the discontent we feel - that we feel

I feel the time we've yet to reach
Is not yet within our own belief
But I feel sure that time has come
If it goes on at all - if it goes on and on - if it goes on and on

I know a place not far from here
Where life's sweet perfume fills the air
And if you want we'll lay a while there
If you want, we'll lay a while there

High tide, mid afternoon
People fly by, in the traffics boom
Knowing, just where you are blowing
Getting to where you should be going

Dont let them get you down
Making you feel quilty about
golden rain, will bring you riches
All the good things you deserve and now

Climbing, forever trying
Find your way out of the wild, wild wood
Now theres no justice
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 are 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, foreever trying
find you way out of the wild, wild wood
Said you are gonna find you way out of the wild, wild wood
Wild wild wood

Can you put a smile back on - all these different faces
Of all these people from - such different places
And if you can succeed - what then will you achieve
With a different tune to play - you've been saving for a rainy day
Will you heal the scar that's on - the years been wasted
The tears spent on the past - just filling spaces
Or is love forever gone banished to a smaller part
Hide behind your wall and start - to get to the very heart

An' if you wanna shoot the moon - make sure that you know why
Careful fly too soon - better let someone else try

I'm the weaver of your dreams - I get rid of your bogeyman
I'm here to smash the shell you're under
An' get you into another thing -
I'm the weaver of your dreams - I put paid to the rocketman
I'm here to break the spell you're under
And get you started with another plan

Could you put a kiss back on - the lips so twisted
Waiting for the chance to start - dipping into wishes
Or is love forever gone - banished to a smaller part
Hide behind your wall and start - to get to the very heart

And in the midst of the darkest night
Think of me and hold me tight
So that I might live to see
All the weaving of my dreams.

Hidden in the back seat of my head
Someplace I can't remember where
I found it just by coincidence
And now I'm all hung up again

Just like a soldier from the past
Who won't be told it's over yet
Refusing to lay down his gun
He'll keep on fighting 'til his war is won
He's gotta hurt someone
He'll keep on fighting 'til his war is won

Waiting for the moment - keep on looking for a sign
Extraordinary - trying to cease the war inside

Hidden in the backseat of my head
Someplace I can't remember where
I found it just by coincidence
And now I'm all hung up again

And now I'm all hung up again

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

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

You do something to me - something deep inside
I?m hanging on the wire - with love I?ll never find
You do something wonderful - then chase it all away
Mixing my emotions - that throws me back again

Hanging on the wire, I?m waiting for the change
I?m dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame-
An?feel real again.

You do something to me - somewhere deep inside
I?m hoping to get close to- a peace I cannot find-

Dancing through the fire- just to catch a flame
Just to get close to, just close enough-
To tell you that??

You do something to me-something deep inside

Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Like broken stones - all trying to get home.
Like a loser's reach
Too slow & short to hit the peaks
So lost & alone - trying to get home.

As another piece shatters
Another little bit gets lost
And what else really matters - at such a cost?

Like a loser's reach -
Too slow & short to hit the peaks
So lost & alone - trying to get home.

Trying to get home -
Like broken stones - All trying to get home.

I've got a grapefruit matter
It's as sour as shit
I have no solutions
Better get used to it
I don't need a ship to sail in stormy weather
I don't need you to ruffle the feathers - of my Peacock Suit
I'm Narcissus in a puddle
In shop windows I gloat
Like a ball of fleece lining
In my camel skin coat

I don't need a ship to sail in stormy weather
I don't need you to ruffle the feathers - of my Peacock Suit
Did you think I should

Nemesis in a muddle
In a mirror I look
Like a streak of sheet lightnin'
In my rattleskin shoes -

I don't need a ship to sail in stormy weather
I don't need you to ruffle the feathers - of my Peacock Suit
Did you think I should

It's in a stroke of a brush
It's in the wave of a hand
And a view so bright
It turns the world
And makes all right
Yet seems to say
Come what may
You will be what you will
With a brush stroke of fate
You will have to think again
If you touch by it all
Lucky to be brushed by it all -
Than walk a crooked mile
In a worn out smile
That you found on the ground
Somebody else threw it down
Looks like that you're the next bessed in town

It's in a verse that you read
It's in the tune in your head
That makes all light
Turns your world
Illuminates life
And makes you see
All the love within
Is still yet to come out
Like the word - as a bang!
You may have to think again
And get touched by it all

Than walk in single file
In a worn out smile
That you found on the ground
Somebody else threw it down
Looks like you're the next blessed in town

Minds alive! On Friday Street
Summerflys around my feet
And wee still stars
Are in my eyes
And mine's alive on Friday Street
A pulse goes on, on Friday Street
Time seems longer against its beat
And it's easy to remember
And it's hard to forget
That mine's alive on Friday Street
Yeh! Mine's still alive on Friday Street

And I see myself
And it seems so clear
I can walk through the world
Like I'm not really here
And I really don't care
'Cause mine's still alive on Friday Street
Lives alive on Friday Street
You start to shine in a brand new heat

And the world is clear
Like you're not really here
And I see myself
And I'm really not scared
'Cause mine's still alive on Friday Street
Mine's still alive on Friday Street
It's like plugging back in on Friday Street
May it always come alive! on Friday Street

She's in my head
She's in my mind
And I'm all she says
Yes she knows me well
As well as you can
She's on my side
I often hide
In her magic hair
And there I learn again - the joy of life
The wonder of it all
And this I feel - that through her I learn
Another way to be

You take my breath, I feel consumed
Take it all - I want to know
What lies behind - your smiles and shells
Wish I knew you well

Come in my head
Come in my mind
You can only love, when you open up
To be yourself

I'm gonna clear out my head
I'm gonna get myself straight
I know it's never too late
To make a brand new start

I'm gonna kick down the door
I'm gonna get myself in
I'm gonna fix up the yard
And not fall back again

I'm gonna clear up my earth
And build a heaven off the ground
Not something distant on a cloud
But something real to me
But something real to me

All that I can I can be
All that I am I can't see
All that is mine is in my hands
So to myself I call

There's somewhere else I should be
There's someone else I can't see
There's something more I can find
There's only love to me

I'm gonna clean up my earth
And build a heaven off the ground
Not something distant on a cloud
But something real to me
But something real to me

I'm gonna clean up my head
I'm gonna get myself straight
I feel it's never too late
To make a brand new start
To make a brand new start
To make a brand new start

He's the keeper
Of the Lantern
Stone Believer
It's a Passion,
And he knows it
He's the keeper
Hanging wishes
up upon our stars
He waits for love
Yes he waits for love.

Flying without a hand
Trying to brave the land
Something about the man
is about to make a stand!

With nothing but liars and thieves
Trying to purchase thee,
Where are you meant to go
But fly away high away.

He's the one knight
On a knackered Stallion
His rusty armour
So Undervalued,

Does he know that
He's a reason,
He's asleep now
But never gone,
He just waits for love,
Yes he waits for love
Yes he waits for love

(He's the keeper)

Hanging without a cloud
Hoping to draw a crowd
If he's willing to take a chance
come on people make a stance!
From tiny acorns grow
All kinds of seekers,
And where are they meant go
But fly away - High away

In the maelstrom of indecision
Shine ! Believer!
find the season
He helped to grow it
He's the keeper
Hanging wishes
up upon our stars
He waits for love
Yes we waits for love

He's the keeper
of the lantern
He's the message
in the midnight
of your madness
In the backlog of conversations
We never had
We wait for love
Yes we wait for love.
Yes we wait for love.

Sweet pea, my sweet pea
You're the one to get my heart a-jumpin'
Light of love all around your
being to see
The future - it's looking at you
It only exists because you're alive
So close your eyes and smile
your smiles of sweet dreams
And fill them with love again
Sweet pea
Fill them with joy again
Each pace I take and you know why
I write for you and I to try
To take the things that lie around
And turn them into dreams so swift-so proud
Its on a time again
And its mine again
Sweet thing, loving you is easy
Goodbye sadness when I'm around you
Giving me something I can feel
Down to in bones
Ah, sometimes - maybe just sometimes
Look back on these times and smile
And have the grace to know
What you have seen
And fill you with love again
Sweet pea
You fill me with hope again!
My Sweet Pea

Recollected thoughts and songs
Emblems of forgotten words
Remnants of a time so clear
That still rings fresh and true
When the wind is here
It's on a time again
And it's mine again!
Sweet pea, my sweet pea
Heaven knows I got a thing about you
You're the girl to get my heart
Start jumpin' again
Ah, sometimes - baby just sometimes
Look back on these times and smile
And have the grace to know
What you have seen
How it should be - my sweet pea
Only God knows what I feel about you
You're the girl to get my heart
Start pumpin' around
The Future? - its looking at you
It only exists because you're alive
So close your eyes and smile
Your smiles of sweet dreams...
Fill them with love again
Sweet pea
Fill them with joy again
Yes, sweet thing
Fill them with love again
My sweet pea

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

and these leafy mysteries
and the silence of the eve
and in the shady tree’s I swing
& in the dappled orchards heat
where I lie & wait
wait for the breeze
to carry me
to a place I can lose myself
no time just somewhere else
with a face I can recognise
-I forget sometimes
that’s always been here
And all these leafy mysteries
& the changing of the seas
& all the secrets of the tide
just open up the world I find-
so small to me
when there’s so much to see
so much to be
day up & the grasses hiss
get up! Like sweet lips they kiss
see now that you’re part of it
I forget sometimes
That’s always been here

And these leafy mysteries
Have always been & always will
& in the shady trees I swing
& in the dappled orchard’s heat
-where I lie & wait
wait for the breeze
to hunger me-
wait for the trees
to breathe in to me

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
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 their-selves

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
