Heres another couple of songs from another one of my favourite artists of all time



Paul Weller- Time Passes

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 & 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

This is another great song from Mr Weller- although i think lyrically the songs on Wild Wood are better (Ill post them later sometime)
I still think these are the two best songs of Stanley Road not to mention the title track itself.



Paul Weller- Porcelain Gods

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 living 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 & 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 am
To find me part of no plan -
Just a porcelain God -
That shatters when it falls

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.
