Альбом Paul Weller

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

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

Can nobody love you
Like I love you, yeah
Can nobody need you
Like I need you, yeah

While you got your head in the clouds
And talking so loud
Can’t you see past the stages
It’s only when you finally arrive
That you recognise
You been going through changes

Oh changes

Can nobody kiss you
Like I miss you, yeah
Can nobody tame you
Ain’t no chains to hold you

While you got your head in the clouds
And talking so loud
Can’t you read past the pages
It’s only when you finally arrive
That you recognise
You been going through changes

Oh changes
Ah changes
Oh changes
Ah changes

While you got your head in the clouds
And talking so loud
Can’t you see past the stages
It’s only when you finally arrive
That you recognise
You been going through changes

Oh changes
Ah changes
Oh changes
Oh

Blink! And you just might miss it
Blink! And you just might miss it
Blink! And you just might miss it
Blink! And you just might miss it

PEACOCK SUIT - Paul Weller

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

I’ve got a feeling
From the floorboards up
Call it a calling
If you like that touch
Call it what you will
I really don’t care too much

I’ve got a feeling
And I know it’s right
I get it most evenings
If not every night
It sings in the air
And dances like candle light

When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Papa, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up

I get a feeling
From the walls and chairs
They tell me of the things that
Have always been there
And all that is not
Will have to go back to dust

When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Papa, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up

I’ve got a feeling
And I know it’s right
I get it most evenings
If not every night
It sings in the air
And dances like candle light

When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Daddy, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up

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 my 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
As I light my 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

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?

Come to my side, child
Don't leave me alone
Stay with me darling
I can't face this on my own
I need you to be with me
I need you in life
I want you forever
Be yours and you be mine

We're going places
Never thought we could
Through all kinds of changes
And still our hearts beat closer more and more (more and more)

More than just a heart beat
From the city floor
More than just the bright lights
That led me to your distant shore

Keepping my head up
And out of the sand
Way across the rooftops
I'm gonna plan our escape

We're going places
Never dreamt we could
Through all kinds of changes
And still our hearts beat closer more and more (more and more)

We're going places
Never dreamt we could
Through all kinds of changes
And still our hearts beat closer more and more (more and more)

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 - people 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 bloom-ing-ful
I'm up in Suzes' room - where life goes so soon
Soon, against the moon
A big sky paints - but she calls the tunes
She's cool that way - how I wish I 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
Yes, yes in Suzes' room - where life goes so soon

Beware false prophets - take a stand!
My fortune cookie cracked up in my hand
More advice to fill up your head
More empty words from the livind dead
Who seek to explain what can't really be said

And how disappointed I was
To turn out after all
Just a porcelain God - that shatters when it falls

Too much will kill you - too little ain't enough
You shout my name but I'll call your bluff
Most who see me - see me not for real
We fake and fawn - play games 'til dawn
But I could see what you can see
And I hate too what you hate in me

And how disappointed I was
To turn out after all
Just a porcelain God - that shatters when it falls

I shake it off and start again
"Don't lose control" - I tell myself
Life can take many things away
Some people will try - and take it all
They'll pick off pieces as they watch you crawl

And how disappointed I was
To turn out after all
Just a porcelain God - that shatters when it falls
That shatters when it falls

You have never been there,
till you've heard the fat girl sing,
nothing else matters
everything just pales within,
hanging round the corners,
shouting at the top of your voice,
sing you little rockers,
sing like you've got no choice

I believe it's true,
we are everywhere,
and i feel the wind,
and it feels so high,

There really is no purpose,
definately is no need
just running round the houses,
like a race horse on speed,

I believe again,
we are everything,
and i feel the wind,
and i've got so high,

C'mon, baby let's go,
Oooh c'mon, baby let's go,
and you said where to?
I said i don't know,
I just need to run,
and you need it too,
and i catch your ride,
and i feel the wind,
and it feels so high,

We're plotting out the acorns,
wondering to where they'll lead,
we're plotting out the acorns,
wondering to where they'll seed,

C'mon, baby let's go,
yeah c'mon,
baby let's go,

And you said where to?
I said i don't know.

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)

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

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've been

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 spent
I just can't let you go, from me you were meant
I didn't mean to hurt you and i know
That in the game of loving you I will sow

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

And I'm wishing on a star...
(guitar)

And I wish 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

And I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are (oh reach out)
(I'm) wishing on a dream
To follow where you've been

(said) I'm wishing on a star...
(guitar)

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 tell the difference, between the pebble and the boy,
Far away in the distance, with the sun in your eyes,
Can you see the footprints, that have merged with the sand,
And you're trying to find them, you find only dry land.

Can you tell the difference, between the pebble and the boy,
Can you follow the heartbeats between the boy and the man,
If you can, if you can.

Can the future, with every step you take,
yet you feel your no further, and your walking away,
Can you tell the difference between the pepple and the man
Far away in the ocean, with his back on dry sand.

Can you tell the difference, between the pepple and the boy,
Can you follow the heartbeats between the boy and the man,
If you can, if you can.

A police car and a screaming siren -
A pnuematic drill and ripped up concrete -
A baby wailing and stray dog howling -
The screech of brakes and lamplights blinking -

That's entertainment.

That's entertainment.

A smash of glass and the rumble of boots -
An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth -
Paint spattered walls and the cry of a tomcat -
Lights going out and a kick in the balls -

I say that's entertainment.

That's entertainment.

Days of speed and slow time Mondays -
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday -
Watching the news and not eating your tea -
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls -

I say that's entertainment.

That's entertainment.

Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning -
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol -
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard -
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays -

That's entertainment.

That's entertainment.

Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes -
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume -
A hot summers' day and sticky black tarmac -
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were faraway -

That's entertainment.

That's entertainment.

Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight -
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude -
Getting a cab and travelling on buses -
Reading the grafitti about slashed seat affairs -

That's entertainment.

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.
