Paul Weller - Fly On The Wall (2005) by Paul Weller (보컬) on maniadb.com

Everyone thinks it's fine
Making cash, coasting time
Everyone thinks it's fair
To be almost free - to be almost there
But not really aware

Anyone can cry
So wipe away those phoney tears in your eyes
Don't come 'round here
Expecting votes
See who charts the course on a sinking boat

And whatever you give
Listen - you give to give
But humanities so weak - if it can it would give
The loved of the loved

There's a man down there
And it should be clear
I thought we knew
And believed in it too

Anyone can see why
So wipe away the phoney tears you cry
An' don't come 'round here
Expecting votes
See who charts the course on a sinking boat

And whatever you give
Listen - you give to give
But humanities so weak - if it can it would give
The loved of the loved

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

Here I am back home again
And I'm here to rest
All they ask is where I've been
Knowing I've been west -

I'm the family's unknown boy
Golden curls and envy hair
Pretty girls with faces fair
See the shine in the black sheep boy -

If you love me let me live in peace
And please understand
That the black sheep can wear the golden fleece
And hold the winning hand

Something worn, like a blanket thrown
Your tender heart, your crystal spirit
Keeps me warm and safe from harm
Wrapped around my shoulder

I love to wake and watch your face
And while you sleep, I fall for you again
Is it true, what I feel for you
Wish I could help it through
So you could feel it too

And the leaves around my door
And the sunlight in the hall
And darkness that will fall
Make me want you more

Morning breaks on the icy flakes
That collect around our window
It's cold outside brings a harsh goodbye
With clouds at our mouths as we breath a sigh

As I look like a long lending book
Page after page we are turning
But is it true what I feel for you
Wish I could help it through
So you could feel it too

And the leaves around my door
And the sunlight in the hall
And darkness that will fall
Just make me want you more
Oh, make me want you more
Want you more

Sexy Sadie what have you done
You made a fool of everyone
You made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie ooh what have you done.

Sexy Sadie you broke the rules
You layed it down for all to see
You layed it down for all to see
Sexy Sadie oooh you broke the rules.

One sunny day the world was waiting for a lover
She came along to turn on everyone
Sexy Sadie the greatest of them all.

Sexy Sadie how did you know
The world was waiting just for you
The world was waiting just for you
Sexy Sadie oooh how did you know.

Sexy Sadie you'll get yours yet
However big you think you are
However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie oooh you'll get yours yet.

We gave her everything we owned just to sit at her table
Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sadie she's the latest and the greatest of them all.

She made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie.

However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie.

Where angels meet - their words are whispers
As sea touches shore - the clouds move swiftly
And me, so small
Compared to it all
Like a fly on the wall
As pieces sweep
Their meaning is still no clearer
And under my feet
There's nothing to stop my own free fall

Down and down I go
And compared to it all
I'm a fly on the wall

Our children sleep
Resting our hopes and wishes
The night in between
I'm casting my scope, just fishing

Uhh, and in spite of it all
Oh, I look at me so small
And compared to it all
I'm a fly on the wall

And compared to it all
I'm a fly on the wall

Gentle rain
Here it comes again
Rattling 'round your window, threatening pain
Coming on like a friend, but you know better than
Yesterday that held you by a different hand
Hail and stone
And all that's gone
When everything that passes, cuts to the bone
Turning like a wheel dragging a heavy stone
A weight that ties you down that you will never own

Strange to see, a paper smile on thee
When once you moved and light the room
For us all to be
Now if I could be the sun I'd shine in your life
If I could be the rain, I'd rain from your eyes
And I'd wash away the emptiness you feel inside

Our eyes meet across the floor
We don't have to say much more
Lets take a chance on it
Say you'll be mine till Spring
We kiss on crowded streets
We kiss everytime we meet
Who knows how it will go
Stay here till summer comes

I love you more each day God sends
Love you because you are my friend
Oh, don't say our luck has blown
Oh stick with it till autumn goes

Lets make love in the light
Sleep together every night
Oh, with dark days all about
Oh, lets stay together, see the winter out

Once I had a love, so sweet - I remember
She'd follow me to the ends of the earth
????and I'd let her
And everyday was like a fairy tale
Cuts me up inside to think how I failed
????I see now so well

She gave me everything she had for the better
Gave me the key to her soul - and I let her
Once I had a love, so sweet - I remember
She'd follow me to the ends of the earth
????and I let her

And every day was like a picture book
The look of love was in her eyes -
And how she'd look - but me, I just took

A fellow traveler with nothing planned
Save loving me the way I am
Expecting nothing in return -
And I through her I got to learn

Too late for me to see
I measured out my destiny
Too late for me to know
And where I lost her - I don't know

Once I had a love, so sweet - I remember
She'd follow me to the ends of the earth
Yes I let her - I let her slip away

This is no time for fumbling
This is no time for turning down
This is no age for wandering
All too much, we stumble and fall - We stumble and fall -
This is no time for mumbling
This is no time for forgetting your lines
This is no time for tumbling
All too much, we stumble and fall - We stumble and fall -

This is no time for dreaming
When you sleep, you wake to find
That something or someone
Has stolen your precious time
As you start to climb

This is no time to go missing
Though it is the time We'd like to most
This is no age to go fishing
All too soon it will be us getting caught
As we stumble and fall

Here is the tune I've been writing -
It's been so long in the making
I hope it's worth all the waiting
Not expect it all for free
Everything has one ending -
Everything has it's day
There's no use in pretending -
Yes, everything has a price to pay

You just asked me, what I'm feeling
Should I tell you?
Nothing is for free
Can't you see - can't you see?
Everything has a price to pay

Everything that I know is -
Hanging on my melody
Everything has an ending
Yes, everything has a price to pay

You just asked me, what I'm feeling
Should I tell you?
Nothing is for free
Can't you see - can't you see?
Everything has a price to pay

Here is the tune I've been writing -
It's been so long in the making
I hope it's worth all the waiting
Yes, everything has a price to pay

like a dream on the ocean,
Always drifting away,
And I can't catch up,
She just slips away, (on the tide)

sometimes a great notion,
can lead us astray,
so weak to devotion'
so strong to deny

oh baby baby won't you let me ride
-take me up on your sailboat ride
come on now angels are on your side
but she slips away on the tide

like mercury gliding,
a silver teardrop that pours,
And i can't hold on,
through my fingers she falls

at the foot of the mountain,
such a long way to climb,
how will i ever get up there ?
though i know i must try

Oh baby baby won't you let me ride
Take me up on your sailboat ride,
come on now angels are on your side,
but she slips away,
oh never stays

yeah she slips away
oh and she slips away

(repeat last two lines ad lib

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

Life's complexities trouble your rise
As you attempt to ascend into the high
Is there nowhere else left to run
But to the Kosmos - men gaze - to look for heaven

Flying high - never come down
Flying high - don't know how to come down

Take a ride into the soon
Be the first one on the moon
Take a slide, come back to earth
It's to the Kosmos - men dare - to look for something

Flying high - never come down
Flying high - don't know how to come down

No time to spare - Destiny is here
No time to lose - better if we choose
Less time to share - people stop and stare
To look for hope above the clouds - to look for heaven

A world away, a million light years
That's how far destruction seems
Now our dreams are sad, slow creatures
Dying to know - who am I? What am I? Where am I to go?

And I've got my thoughts to position
But do I know how to act?
I got no silent ambitions
But does that make me a man
Until I learn all I can
And mean all I understand
As a way of living
And I'm a piece of the earth
I take no offence
I can be who I am
I have no pretense
Only to what you can be
If you want to be
It's a way of living

I've got a pen in my pocket
Does that make me a writer
Standing on the mountain
Doesn't make me no higher
Putting on gloves
Don't make you a fighter
And all the study in the world
Doesn't make it science

So grab a piece in the air
Try an' make it sing
Try and be who you can
It's the real, real thing
I'm into what you can be
If you want to be
It's a way of giving

I've got a pick in my pocket
Does that make me a player
Words can't do
What action does louder
Putting on gloves
Don't make you a fighter
And all the study in the world
Doesn't make it science

I've got a pen in my pocket
Does that make me a writer
Standing on the mountain
Doesn't make me no higher
Putting on gloves
Don't make you a fighter
And all the study in the world
Doesn't make it science

I've got a pick in my pocket
Does that make me a player
Words can't do
What action does louder
Putting on gloves
Don't make you a fighter
And all the study in the world
Doesn't make it science
