Paul Weller

You do something to me - something deep inside
I'm hanging on the wire - for a 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.

Worlds apart, you and I, we're worlds apart

The difference between every day
I can't think of the words to say

Worlds apart, you and I, we're worlds apart

I've been in some clubs where the music's loud
‘cos I see your face in every crowd
But it's not really you

It's like having a cold on a summers day
Something ain't right and I want you to stay
You must know that

Worlds apart, you and I, we're worlds apart

Worlds apart, you and I, we're worlds apart

The difference between every day
I can't think of the words to say

Worlds apart, you and I, we're worlds apart

I've been in some clubs where the music's loud
‘cos I see your face in every crowd
But it's not really you

It's like having a cold on a summers day
Something ain't right and I want you to stay
You must know that

Worlds apart, you and I, we're worlds apart

Sugartown has turned so sour
its 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

As worlds end with new ones to open
As you change your aim
And lives thrown up into the open
Get on a different plane
Words meant but were left unspoken
Take on a different name
And hearts mend that once were so broken
As time heals the pain
'Til you can find it in your heart
To forgive if not to forget such a part
Of life that you lost
As worlds end with new ones to open
As you change your aim
And lives thrown up into the open
Get on a different plane
Words meant but were left unspoken
Take on a different name
And hearts mend that once were so broken
As time heals the pain
Never stopping like rain dropping
To find a place on earth
You'll find you'll wake up fresh instead
You'll find me less inside your head
With words left unsaid
As you lose your mind, Something else in time
And faces strange - rearrange

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow where you'll be

And I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see
Wishing on all the people, who've ever been
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, when will it come
And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done

I'm wishing on a star to follow where you are
I never thought I'd see a time when you would be
So far away from home
So far away from me

Just think of all the moments that we'd spent
I just can't let you go from me, you were meant
And I didn't mean to hurt you, and I know
That in the game of lovin' you, I was slow

I feel it's time for us to make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, oh, baby
When we're together, oh whether or never

I feel it's time for us to make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, baby
When we're together, yeah whether or never

And I'm wishing on a star

And I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see
Wishing on all the people who've ever been
Wishing on tomorrow, when will it come
I'm wishing on all the lovin', we've ever done

That I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are, oh ya
I'm wishing on a dream to follow where you been
Said, "I'm wishing on a star"

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow where you'll be

And I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see
Wishing on all the people, who've ever been
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, when will it come
And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done

I'm wishing on a star to follow where you are
I never thought I'd see a time when you would be
So far away from home
So far away from me

I'm wishing on a dream to follow where you been
Said, "I'm wishing on a star"

Fly on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see
As I wait for your smile.
Though my hands are tied,
My feet are bound by fate
With clay at the base - As I sit and wait
What visions I see.

In dreams, she floats on a stream,
With Jesus at the helm, the water reeds that beg,
Her boat along the way - As she comes to me

Now as the light is falling
One candle left to light the way,
Sailing home to morning
She comes to me calling,

To brighten up my darkest day,
& the world fades away..
With her smile.

Fly, on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see,
As I wait for your smile -

Fly on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see
As I wait for your smile.
Though my hands are tied,
My feet are bound by fate
With clay at the base - As I sit and wait
What visions I see.

In dreams, she floats on a stream,
With Jesus at the helm, the water reeds that beg,
Her boat along the way - As she comes to me

To brighten up my darkest day,

High tide, mid afternoon

My Son rose to the shore
To the world that lies before
He can't hear my sound
He's much too in tune with the ground

He sees only the tide, and the surf and the sea
He's oblivious to me calling

In years to come
I will still call him Son
But he'll have no time to wait
We must see beyond his fate

He said "only the Sun and the Wind may get free"(?)
His only defence will always be...
Why walk, when you can run?

Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind my Son

Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind my Son

Through sheets of time
On the wings of a bird
He'll come to the edge
To look life in the eyes

He'll see only the keys
to the world and his dreams

His strongest defence will always be...
Why walk, when you can run?
Why walk, when you can run?

Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind my Son

Run like the wind, run like the wind
No turning back, no giving in
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind my Son

you who brings joy
into the world
makes me swirl
of such love
and all you ask
in return
is to be loved
and love you i must
compelled by god
or some invisible force
i just want so much
to be here for you
you my darling who
brings so much joy
every laugh has an echo
every movement a feat
i humble in your complexion
so perfect so complete
you who brings joy
into the world

in your eyes lie a heaven
in your voice sweet caress
it is you who takes over
whose gentle arms i rest
you who brings joy
into the world
makes me swirl of such love

The sun came out & hung above
Over our heads but far enough to see
A bomb exploding in another town
Children choking on a poison cloud
While on the streets, where lovers once walked,
Side by side in idle talk
Bullets fall like unholy rain
People change as the panic sets in -
A frightened baby by her dead mother's side
In a brutal world where there's nowhere
To run, hide or cry -

Now nothing feels the same way -
Feels like it's changing again -
Upon a street with no name
It's hard to find it again -

I ran as fast as my feet could fly
Down country lanes where I took my time-
Time like a hound snapping at my heels
I got past thinking so I could feel -
Feels like a film playing in my head
And I kept rolling down green Surrey hills -
In Spring-

Now nothing feels the same way
Feels like I'm changing again
Upon a street with no name
It's hard to find me again -
The sun came out & hung above, over our heads
but far enough to see

And where'er ye go
That, we'll never know
But as long as you come back
That's all that really matters

And where'er ye go
As surely you will
Take him with you most of all
I hold breath and imagine

But that's who you are
And we have to accept
I either live with it
Or live without you

So where'er ye go
Then come ye back
As each time you do
You bring with ya such stories
That we lose our sadness
Because our echoes are forgotten
And you never forget
You just lose track of time
That's alright
That's really alright

For we couldn't bear to be without you

Life is timeless, days are long when you're young
You used to fall in love with everyone
Any guitar and any bass drum
Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young
Life is new and there's things to be done
You can't wait to be grown up
Acceptance into the capital world
You pull on some weed, then you pull on someone when you're young

But you find out life isn't like that
It's so hard to comprehend
Why you set up your dreams to have them smashed in the end

But you don't mind you've got time on your side
And they're never gonna make you stand in line
You're just waiting for the right time

You're fearless and brave - you can't be stopped when you're young
You swear you're never ever gonna work for someone
No corporations for the new age sons
Tears of rage roll down your face
But still you say "it's fun"

And you find out life isn't like that
It's so hard to understand
Why the world is your oyster but your future's a clam

It's got you in its grip before you're born
It's done with the use of a dice and a board
They let you think you're king but you're really a pawn

You're fearless and brave - you can't be stopped when you're young
You used to fall in love with everyone
Any guitar and any bass drum

Why the world is your oyster but your future's a clam

It's got you in its grip before you're born
It's done with the use of a dice and a board
They let you think you're king but you're really a pawn

You're fearless and brave - you can't be stopped when you're young
You used to fall in love with everyone
Any guitar and any bass drum

It's like the middle of a ... age
I feel the space between us all
A forced expense
But the big divide
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Let's take a chance with beginner's luck
We have nothing so there's nothing to lose
I can't believe the only reasons we're here
Are the reasons in the Bank of England

Hear me now
We've only started
They'll just exploit us but it's only day one
We haven't got that far
Not far at all

Meet me on the wastelands - later this day,
We'll sit and talk and hold hands maybe,
For there's not much else to do in this drab and colourless
place.
We'll sit amongst the rubber tyres,
Amongst the discarded bric-a-brac,
People have no use for - amongst the smouldering embers of
yesterday.

And when or if the sun shines,
Lighting our once beautiful features,
We'll smile but only for seconds,
For to be caught smiling is to acknowledge life,
A brave but useless show of compassion,
And that is forbidden in this drab and colourless world.

Meet me on the wastelands - the ones behind,
The old houses - the ones - left standing pre-war -
The ones overshadowed by the monolith monstrosities -
councils call homes.

And there amongst the shit - the dirty linen,
The holy Coca-Cola tins - the punctured footballs,
The ragged dolls - the rusting bicycles,
We'll sit and probably hold hands.

And watch the rain fall - watch it - watch it -
Tumble and fall - tumble and falling -
Like our lives - like our lives -
Just like our lives.

We'll talk about the old days,
When the wasteland was release when we could play,
And think - without feeling guilty -
Meet me later but we'll have to hold hands.
Tumble and fall - tumble and falling -
Like our lives - like our lives -
Exactly like our lives.

Fish from the paper, fresh from the sea
The cracks in the pavement, the city in siege
I don't know where to replace it or who to believe
Can't find on the pavement or lay on his knees
Scratching around in a second I got where you should be

We're going to wake up the nation, don't be no drag
Shake up the station, a night up ahead
We're going to wake up the nation, don't be no drag
Shake up the station, a night on our hands

Nowhere to be

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

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

Well, once I was a lover
With beautiful long brown hair
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

When I walk down any street
Men would stop and stare
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Boys would whistle
And their eyes would shine
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

My skirt would swish
To show my long strong legs so fine
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So fine

Was a time, I was a mother
Darling children would come for me
I loved them and I'd feed them
And in their eyes such love I'd see
They'd call my name in times of need

Trees Lyrics
And I'd be there
(And they loved me)
And they loved me
(And we loved you)

And I loved them
(And they loved me)
And they loved me
(And we loved you)

Once I was a man
My cock as hard as wood
I stood as strong as any tree
Look back, the winds are catching me

So, my woman, love me
And you know I am strong
I was raised and nude as trees
I stood

Trees Lyrics
My baby loves me
(My baby loves me)
My baby loves me
(My baby loves me)
My baby loves me
(My baby loves me)

I was back to this time itself
Deep and sharp within my empty cell
A comedy of errors I've become
And all my devils, I forgot
And on my name or where I've come

Someone take me back to the fields
Where I need to be
So once again I can stand tall and feel
Once more, a tree

Well, once I was a lover
With beautiful long brown hair
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

When I walk down any street
Men would stop and stare
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Boys would whistle
And their eyes would shine
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

My skirt would swish
To show my long strong legs so fine
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So fine

Was a time, I was a mother
Darling children would come for me
I loved them and I'd feed them
And in their eyes such love I'd see
They'd call my name in times of need

Trees Lyrics
And I'd be there
(And they loved me)
And they loved me
(And we loved you)

And I loved them
(And they loved me)
And they loved me
(And we loved you)

Once I was a man
My cock as hard as wood
I stood as strong as any tree
Look back, the winds are catching me

So, my woman, love me
And you know I am strong
I was raised and nude as trees
I stood

Trees Lyrics
My baby loves me
(My baby loves me)
My baby loves me
(My baby loves me)
My baby loves me
(My baby loves me)

I was back to this time itself
Deep and sharp within my empty cell
A comedy of errors I've become
And all my devils, I forgot
And on my name or where I've come

Someone take me back to the fields
Where I need to be
So once again I can stand tall and feel
Once more, a tree

Ordinary people don't get time to think
Not that it's their fault
Cos you have to hustle and bustle about your work
Just to make sure the food gets bought
Goverments threaten you with recession
Then they threaten you with war
How the other side wants to take away
All the things you ain't got no more
Keep us divided with their greed and hate
Keep you struggling to put the food on your plate.
Imagine if tomorrow the workers went on strike
Not just british leyland but the whole world
Who would earn their profits?
Who would make their bombs?
You'd see the hands of oppression fumble
And their systems crash to the ground
And you men in uniform will have to learn the lesson too
Not to turn against your own kind
Whenever governments tell you to.

Get the trans-global express moving
And see our marvellous leaders quiver
They know that if it happens
Their lazy days are over
The day the working people join together
We'll all rest much more easy
The responsibilty you must bear
When it's your own future in your hands
Maybe a hard one to face up to
But at least you will own yourself!

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
'Cos it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for that runaway bus
'Cos those rosey days are few
And...stop apologising for the things you've never done
'Cos time is short and life is cruel
But it's up to us to change
This town called Malice

Rows and rows of disused milk floats
Stand dying in the dairy yard
And a hundred lonely housewives
Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
It's enough to make you stop believing
When tears come fast and furious
In a town called Malice

Struggle after struggle, year after year
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice
I'm almost stone cold dead
In a town called Malice

A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
Gets dashed against the co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kids' new gear
It's a big decision in a town called Malice

The ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
It's at the moment bound for nowhere
Just going 'round and 'round
Playground kids and creaking swings
Lost laughter in the breeze
I could go on for hours and I probably will
But I'd sooner put some joy back
In this town called Malice

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life  cos it's the one we'll never know And quit running for that runaway bus  cos those rosey days are few And  stop apologising for the things you've never done, Cos time is short and life is cruel  but it's up to us to change This town called malice.

Tonight at noon, tonight at noon
When we meet in the midnight hour,
I will bring you night flowers (coloured)
Like your eyes
Tonight at noon, I'll touch your hand
Held for a moment amongst strangers
Amongst the dripping trees
Country girl
Walking in city squares in winter rain -
Walking down muddy lanes or empty streets -
Arranging a time and place to meet -
Tonight at noon, you'll feel my warmth
You'll feel my body inside you
We'll be together for hours
Time and tears -
Won't wait for evermore
For the time is now -
And now is the time to explore
Why waste the world outside
When you're sure

To be someone must be a wonderful thing
A famous footballer a rock singer
Or a big film star, yes I think I would like that

To be rich and have lots of fans
Have lots of girls to prove that I'm a man
And be No. 1 - and liked by everyone

Getting drugged up with my trendy friends
They really dig me and I dig them
And the bread I spend - is like my fame - it's Quickly diminished

And there's no more swimming in a guitar shaped Pool
No more reporters at my beck and call
No more cocaine it's only ground chalk
No more taxis now we'll have to walk

But didn't we have a nice time -
Didn't we have a nice time
Oh wasn't it such a fine time

I realize I should have stuck to my guns
Instead shit out to be one of the bastard sons
And lose myself - I know it was wrong - but it's Cost me a lot

And there's no more drinking after the club shuts down,
I'm out on me arse with the rest of the clowns
It's really frightening without a bodyguard
So I stay confined to my lonely room

I saw you today, or at least I think it was
It's hard to say, we've all changed so much,
Compelled to look, but I hid my face
It's hard to trace, these feelings
Gone so soon, the time I spent with you
And like an old, old tune-keeps running through my head-
I wanted to say, so many things
But my mouth went dry, and one word and I'd cry.

Slender bride, your beauty shines from you
And forever more, I'll be on your side for sure,
A light in your life, that always burns for you
As time passes, so quickly.

The final stage, we've both reached some way
As we board our trains to different stations
And the parts we play, and the things we say,
Words on the way, to discovery

I saw you today, or at least I think it was
It's hard to say, we've all changed so much,
Compelled to look, but I hid my face
It's hard to trace, these feelings
Gone so soon, the time I spent with you
And like an old, old tune-keeps running through my head-
I wanted to say, so many things
But my mouth went dry, and one word and I'd cry.
