2.A Town Called Malice

A 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.

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.

IN THE STREET, TODAY - Paul Weller/David Waller

In the street today

Murder on the terraces,
Fools in high places,
It's all so sickening -
And we're so satisfied

In the street, tonight

Hate on every pavement
Paranoia on shop doorways
The kids want some action -
And who can fucking blame them now?

It's all so sickening, and we're so satisfied

NEWS OF THE WORLD - Bruce Foxton

Power! Pop!

Read about the things that happen throughout the world
Don't believe in everything you see or hear
The neighbours talk day in day out about the goings on
They tell us what they want, they don't give an inch

Look at the pictures taken by the camera - they cannot lie
The truth is in what you see not what you read
Little men tapping things out - points of view
Remember their views are not the gospel truth

Each morning our piece of the world comes through the door
More often it's just a comic, not much more
Don't take it too serious - not many do
Read between the lines and you'll find the truth

Don't believe it all - a' find out for yourself
Check before you spread
News of the world, news of the world
Never doubt, never ask
Never moan, never search
Never find, never know
The news of the world, news of the world

Read all about it, read all about it - news of the world

Place I Love
THE PLACE I LOVE (Weller)

The place I love is a million miles away,
It's too far for the eye to see,
Still it's me at least, and you can't come there
No one is allowed at all,
Only animals that love, will always only, ever could be
And it's always at the back of my mind.

The place I love is overgrown now,
With beautiful moss and colourful flowers,
And goldfish that swim in a pool, there's a small brick wall,
With neon lighting controlled by lightning,
I'm making a stand against the world
There's those who would hurt us if they heard.

The place I love is no where near here,
Not within a yard of those trendy do's,
Where dogsbodies pick you up, and graciously give you a lift,
With cherished thoughts and bitterness.
I'm making a stand against the world,
There's those who would hurt us if they heard
And that's always in the back of my mind.

'A' BOMB IN WARDOUR STREET (Weller)

Where the streets are paved with blood,
with cataclysmic overtones,
Fear and hate linger in the air,
A strictly no-go deadly zone.
I don't know what I'm doing here
'cause it's not my scene at all

There's an 'A' bomb in Wardour Street
They've called in the Army, they've called in the police.

I'm stranded on the vortex floor,
My head's been kicked in and blood's started to pour
Through the haze I can see my girl
15 geezers got her pinned to the door
I try to reach her but fall back on the floor

There's an 'A' bomb in Wardour Street
It's blown up the West End, now it's spreading
throughout the City,

'A' bomb in Wardour Street, it's blown up the City
Now it's spreading through the country.

Law and order take a turn for the worst,
In the shape of a size 10 boot.
Rape and murder throughout the land,
and they tell you that you're still a free man.
Well if this is freedom I don't understand
'cause it seems like madness to me.

'A' bomb in Wardour Street, Hate Bomb,
Hate Bomb, Hate Bomb, Hate Bomb.

A Phillistine nation, of degredation,
And hate and war. There must be more
It's Doctor Martin's A,P,O,C,A,L,Y,P,S,E,
Apocalypse!

ALL MOD CONS (Weller)

Seen you before, I know your sort,
You think the world awaits your every breath

You'll be my friend, or so you say
You'll help me out when the time comes

And all the time we're getting rich,
You hang around to help me out

But when we're skint, Oh God Forbid!
You drop us like hot bricks.

Artistic Freedom. Do what you want,
But just make sure that the money ain't gone.

I'll tell you what, I got you sussed,
You'll waste my time, when the time comes.

TO BE SOMEONE (DIDN'T WE HAVE A NICE TIME) (Weller)

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 proove 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, now 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 when the club shuts down,
I'm out on my arse with the rest of the clowns
It's really frightening without a bodyguard
so I stay confined to my lonely room


6.Smither Jones

Here we go again, it's Monday at last,
He's heading for the Waterloo line.
To catch the 8am fast, its usually dead on time,
Hope it isn't late, got to be there by nine.

Pin stripe suit, clean shirt and tie,
Stops off at the corner shop, to buy The Times
'Good Morning Smithers-Jones'
'How's the wife and home?'
'Did you get the car you've been looking for?' (repeat)

Let me get inside, let me take control of you,
We could have some good times,
All this worry will get you down,
I'll give you a new meaning to life - I don't think so.

Sitting on the train, you're nearly there
You're a part of the production line,
You're the same as him, you're like tin-sardines,
Get out of the pack, before they peel you back.

Arrive at the office, spot on time,
The clock on the wall hasn't yet struck nine.
'Good Morning Smithers-Jones',
'The boss wants to see you alone'.
'I hope its the promotion you've been looking for' (repeat)

'Come in Smithers old boy'
'Take a seat, take the weight off your feet'.
'I've some news to tell you'
'There's no longer a position for you' -
'Sorry Smithers-Jones'.

Put on the kettle to make some tea
It's all a part of feeling groovy
Put on your slippers turn on the TV
It's all a part of feeling groovy
It's time to relax now you've worked your arse off
But the only one smilin' is the sun tanned boss
Work and work and work and work til you die
Cause there's plenty more fish in the sea to fry.


7.The Bitterest Pill

The Bitterest Pill
THE BITTEREST PILL - Paul Weller

In your white lace and your wedding bells
You look the picture of contented new wealth
But from the on-looking fool who believed your lies
I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive

For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows

When the wheel of fortune broke, you fell to me
Out of grey skies to change my misery
The vacant spot, your beating heart took its place
But now I watch smoke leave my lips and fill an empty room

For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows

The bitterest pill is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill

Now autumn's breeze blows summer's leaves through my life
Twisted and broken dawn, no days with sunlight
The dying spark, you left your mark on me
The promise of your kiss, but with someone else

For the bitterest pill is mine to swallow
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows

The bitterest pill is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill!


8.Liza Radley

作詞:Paul Weller

Liza Radley, see the girl with long hair
See her creeping 'cross summer lawns at midnight
And all the people in the town where we live say
She's not quite right
She don't fit in with a small town
They just can't understand why she's doesn't stay in hospital
In a darkened room it's for their lives only she cries
Liza Radley, see her jump through loneliness
Liza Radley, take me when you go

And as the people pass by, their heads in the air
On to with their life's, she records a lonely sigh
But no matter what they say, in her mind she knows
Their dream of life they won't never find

And all the people in the town where we live say
She's not quite right
She don't fit in with a small town
They just can't understand she's doesn't stay in hospital
In a darkened room it's for their lives only she cries
Liza Radley, I pledge myself to you alone
But she kissed my face and said
Love means nothing at all
She kissed my face and said
Life means nothing at all


9.Don't Tell Them Your Sane

作詞:Bruce Foxton

A boy I know is sick in his head
At least that's what the doctors say, he is
Shut in his room for hours on end
Looks like he's forgotten, but is he

His mind it ticks, more than you know
One day something in his head will click
Warders fill him full of lies, he fights he knows
They'll never convince him that he's mad

At breakfast, he is strapped in a chair
(Won't go far)
Just a word out of place, he's sent to his room

Don't tell them you're sane
They'll laugh and put you to sleep
Don't tell them you're sane, but you are

Tell me what you did today, was it good
What was it like and who was it with
Don't think I'm prying I'd just like to know
Why it is you do things so slow

Take him to the doctor, see what he says
I don't know why he bothers, he's in for good


10.Get Yourself Together (Live)

作詞:Ronnie Lane, Steve Marriott

You say that you miss him
I can tell by the way you kiss him

Get yourself together
And you'll be alright

You say that you love him
Now he's gone so please forget him

Get yourself together
And you'll be alright

I'm just like you so take my lead
You see me as a friend but I'm a friend in need

Get yourself together
And you'll be alright

So if you feel that you need me
I'm here beside you can't you see me?

Get yourself together
And you'll be alright

Get yourself together
You're gonna be alright


11.Move On Up (Live)

作詞:Curtis Mayfield

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

Move on up


12.Absolute Beginners

作詞:Paul John Weller

In echoed steps I walked across an empty dream
I looked across this world, there's no one to be seen
This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away
I saw no warmth in life, no love was in my eyes

I stared a century, thinking this will never change
As I hesitated, time rushed onwards without me
Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall
But the absolute luck is, love is in our hearts

I lost some hours thinking of it
I need the strength to go and get what I want
I lost a lifetime thinking of it
And lost an era daydreaming like I do

I stared a century, thinking this will never change
As I hesitated, time rushed onwards without me
Too scared to break the spell too small to take a fall
But the absolute luck is love is in our hearts

In echoed steps you walk across an empty dream
But look around this world, there's millions to be seen
Come see the tyrants panic, see their crumbling empires fall
Then tell 'em we don't fight for fools 'cos love is in our
hearts

I lost some hours thinking of it
I need the strength to go and get what I want
I lost a lifetime thinking of it
And lost an era daydreaming like I do

You can lose some hours thinking of it
You need the strength to go and get what you want
You lose a lifetime thinking of it
And lose an era daydreaming like I do


13.News Of The World

作詞:Bruce Foxton

Power, pop

Read about the things that happen throughout the world
Don't be believe in everything you see or hear
The neighbors talk day in day out about the goings on
They tell us what they want, they don't give an inch

Look at the pictures taken by the cameras they cannot lie
The truth is in what you see, not what you read
Little men tapping things out, points of view
Remember their views are not the gospel truth

Don't believe it all
Find out for yourself
Check before you spread
News of the world

Never doubt, never ask
Never moan
Never search
Never find, never know

Each morning our key to the world comes through the door
More than often its just a comic, not much more
Don't take it too serious, not many do
Read between the lines and you'll find the truth

Read all about it, read all about it, news of the world


14.Just Who Is The Five O'Clock Hero

作詞:Paul John Weller

Hello, darlin', I'm home again
Covered in shit and aches and pains
Too knackered to think, so give me time to come round
Just gimme the living room beat to the TV sound

My hard earned dough goes in bills and the larder
And that Prince Philip tells us we gotta work harder
It seems a constant struggle just to exist
Scrimping and saving and crossing of lists

From this window I've seen the whole world pass
From dawn to dusk I've heard the last laugh laughed
I've seen enough tears to wash away this street
I've heard wedding bells chime and a funeral march

When as one life finishes another one starts
Alright then, love, so I'll be off now
It's back to the lunch box and worker-management rows
There's gotta be more to this old life then this
Scrimping and saving and crossing of lists


15.See-Saw

作詞:Paul John Weller

See saw, up and down, around and round we go
Too late, we're out on the brink
Our love's in the sink washed up
And when I'm walking down a rainy street
I think I hear you calling out to me
But it's just an echo I've arranged to meet

Free fall we're out of control
We never will know what went wrong

Too bad what we had for a while
Has gone out of style this year

Your friends told me you moved out of town
I got your address and I wrote it down
I used the pen that you bought for my birthday
And every stroke, you know, reminded me of you
I realize that we'll never be together again

Wait a while reclaim your loss
But it costs a lot you'll learn
Take five it heals in time
You'll feel just fine they say but I feel it

See saw in a way I'm glad
Though I still feel sad about you

I know it's too late for changing minds
And I'm still not sure, I want to change mine
It's just a tiny part that says that this ain't right

See saw, up and down, around and round
They say it heals in time they say you'll feel just fine
In a way, I'm glad though I still feel sad about losing you
'Bout losing you, 'bout losing you once more


16.Innocent Man

作詞:Foxton Bruce

Well, nothing seems too clear to him anymore
Well, funny how he's the one who's always so confused
People point the finger, they all look at him
Well, can't somebody tell him what he's done wrong?

Well, what has he done to you or someone?
Nobody speaks or should he know?
Thinks their all to blame, nothing clear to him anymore
Can't think straight, can't sort himself out

Innocent, that man, you know he is
Innocent, don't lie, you know you have
Innocent, he'll die if the truth is missed out

The time has come
For that man to be hung
I hope you're convinced
That he was the one

It's alright for you, just another case
You don't give a damn, just another face
But what about his friends, his family and his wife?
You don't have the right to take that man's life

An innocent man condemned by you
Instead of him, it should be you

Innocent, that man, you know he is
Innocent, don't lie, you know you have
Innocent, hell die if the truth is missed out
