LYRICS —

The tipping of scales
And the balance of time
Precede it

The ticking of clocks
In silent homes admit it
Larks ascending
Clash with planes

O my soul, what will I do to feed them
Nothing inside, nothing outside
Nothing in the kitchen
What I’m left with, I don’t know

Spend all your life
Just to find out
All that matters
Is close to you

The people you know
The things that you’re shown
That shape our views

The places you’ve been
To follow a dream
In shades of blue

And in a small side street
Of contemplation
He lost it

An’ in the late night bars
Of annihilation
He lost it

The truth is that “it”
Wasn’t his to lose

Spend all your life
Just to find out
All that matters
Is close to you

The people you know
The things that you show
That shape our views

The places you’ve been
To follow a dream
In shades of blue

My latest Weller discovery. Think I'll Listen to this while I'm lying on the beach in The Costa del Sol in 2 weeks

[TheTorch]

Thank God for Paul Weller, an oasis of sanity and truth in a world gone fucking mad.

[andymainwaring]

Fantastic tune, meaningful lyrics to those of a certain age. Great to see Paul and his daughter together on this!

[Steegan]

I see people saying, it sounds like The Kinks, Blur, Madness. It's Paul Weller, it sounds like Paul Weller !!!

[kevinbird]

Paul Weller has still got it. The mod father brings out another classic song.

[martinconyard]

I really Loved it from the first play. I can hear a little Kinks kind of vibe running through it too but it's also streets ahead of The Kinks, at the same time. Still, whatever else I think I can hear, for me, it's still 100% Weller magic. ❤️
