IN THE CROWD - Paul Weller



When I'm in the crowd, I don't see anything

My mind goes a blank, in the humid sunshine

when I'm in the crowd I don't see anything



I fall into a trance, at the supermarket

The noise flows me along, as I catch falling cans,

of baked beans on toast, technology is the most.



and everyone seems just like me,

they struggle hard to set themselves free

and their waiting for the change



When I'm in the crowd, I can't remember my name

and my only link is pots of Wall's ice cream

when I'm in the crowd - I don't see anything



Sometimes I think that it's a plot,

an equilibrium melting pot,

The government sponsors underhand,

When I'm in the crowd

When I'm in the crowd

When I'm in the crowd



And everyone seems that they're acting a dream,

'cause they're just not thinking about each other

and they're taking orders, which are media spawned

and they should know better, now you have been warned



and don't forget you saw it here first

When I'm in the crowd

When I'm in the crowd

When I'm in the crowd



And life just simply moves along

in simple houses, simple jobs

and no ones wanting for the change

When I'm in the crowd

When I'm in the crowd

When I'm in the crowd





MR. CLEAN - Paul Weller



Daylight dawns, you wake up and yawn - Mr. Clean -

A piece of toast from the one you love most - and you leave -



You get the bus in the 8 o'clock rush,

And catch your train in the morning rain -

Mr. Clean - Mr. Clean -



If you see me in the street - look away -

Cause I don't ever want to catch you looking at me -

Mr. Clean -

Cause I hate you and your wife,

And if I get the chance, I'll fuck up your life!

Mr. Clean -

IS THAT SEEN!



Surround yourself with dreams, of pretty young girls,

and anyone you want, but -

please don't forget me or any of my kind,

cause I'll make you think again,

When I stick your face in the grind -



Getting pissed at the annual office do -

Smart blue suit and you went to Cambridge too -

You miss page 3, but the Times is right for you -

And mum and dad are very proud of you -

Mr. Clean -





IT'S TOO BAD - Paul Weller



All we seem to do is talk about it

we always end up shouting about it

there was a time we could overcome it

But it's too late to say we'll just forget it



It's too bad that we had to break up

and too much said for us to ever make up

I could get by if I could just forget you

but things remind me and I feel so sad now



I could say I'm sorry

but it's not the point is it?

you want to play your games and

you don't mind if I get hurt.



Same old feeling everytime I see you

and every avenue I walk I'm behind you

your back is turned and your eyes are closed girl

you move in circles that are out of my reach now.





FLY - Paul Weller



The way that sunlight flits across your skirt,

makes me feel I'm from another world,

To touch your face in the morning light

I hope you're always gonna be around.



The times I struggle to understand why,

The ancient proverbs like "Who am I?"

"Why am I here" and "What have I done?"

I see the answer's place my trust in you.



Trust in you love, be with me then

That's when I want you, that's when I need you the most.



I want us to be like Peter Pan,

But dreams it seems are weightless as sand,

And man's supposedly is made of sand,

It seems that man cannot survive at all.



Let's disappear love, let's fly away,

Into the demi-monde, into the twilight zone.



The times inside I spent screaming at you,

Release me please from this mortal jail,

One shrug or smile can determine my fate,

I'm lost for days and have myself to blame.



Something I'm giving, is yours for the taking,

Something like sunlight, Love is a spotlight,

Love is all sorrow, still I'll meet you tomorrow

And look forward to see you, now I can't live without you.





BUT I'M DIFFERENT NOW - Paul Weller



Picked you up and let you down and

I never said a word -

But I'm different now and I'm glad that you're my girl



Mess you 'round and upset you - I hurt you most of all -

But I'm different now and I'm glad that you're my girl



Fun lasts for seconds, love lasts for days but

But you can't have both -

And I'm different now but I'm glad that you're my girl



Because I know I done some things

That I should never have done

But I'm different now and I'm glad that you're my girl
