On The Style Councils “Our Favourite Shop” album I hated this song. I found the lyrics you could say were hidden by the instruments being played. But then I heard this acoustic version of it, and really liked it.
Never thought I could ever like a stripped down version better then the original,loved the original so much,but this is raw and powerful,goes with the lyrics,just awesome
Seen Paul weller few times amazing live recommend him if u never seen him before loved him since jam days sad song about his friend that died lyrics amazing weller amazing thanks uploader
I bought the paper yesterday and I saw the obituary And I read of how you died in pain - Well I just couldn't understand it If I could of changed that, then Lord knows I'd do it now But there is no going back - And what's done is done forever But you were always chained and shackled by the dirt - Of every small town institution and every big town flirt And I think of what you might have been, a man of such great promise Oh but, you seem to forget the dream - And the more you saw you hated But let's not talk of blame, for what is only natural Like a moth going to a flame - You had a dangerous passion But you were always chained and shackled by the dirt - Of every small town institution and every big town flirt All the things that you might have been - but who am I to say? Still I wonder - If it's in the cold earth you prefer to lay - If it's in the cold earth - you prefer to stay
I was trying to ID when and where this concert went down. I found the same video with this metadata attributed. Perhaps someone who was there can confirm this? October 16th 2002 @ Braehead Arena, Glasgow, Scotland
pilh harper his voice and lyrics make him a genius. Writing songs since a young age. He kept a massive proportion of youngsters inside his lyrics.. this song gets me every time. I cry 😢 because of these lyrics. I’m not the only one either..!! Keep The Faith....
Been watching him live since 1981 and he’s voice is better now in 2024
I saw him play this live and i just stood and cried.
Me too
RIP dave waller
So it was you after all ❤ xx
It's powerful 😢
Love how his voice has aged so beautifully ❤
RIP Sarah. You will always be my sister..
Massive weller fan !! I think this song,ghosts and tales from the riverbank are 3 of his finest songs hes every written !
Yes I agree and A Stones throw away too.

Yeah , not one of em a single .....Mark of a top writer
YES
Lyrics to tingle the spin. Better lyricist not been born yet and probably never will be
Ray Davies, Costello, Dylan, Bruce and Strummer disagrees...but yeah Weller is a brilliant lyricist
the Clash were a manufactured band.@@thomasandersen6719
Blows me away every time i watch this.. pure master class
One of Wellers best without doubt.
This song makes me cry.This ones for you Johnny b forever rest in peace my freind❤
Genius Weller. The man is a god!

Top tune always play it around my Birthday as it reminds me off my best mate who took his own life on my Birthday due to a drug
Something about this version - currently on repeat
★ Another Perfect performance by Paul
#PaulWeller - Legendary Artist

Mine too. Big Weller fan, taken early.
written about dave his mate who was so gifted but was taken so young rip
Can't stop repeating it..... its Stunning 😍
I bought the paper yesterday and I saw the obituary
And I read of how you died in pain -
Well I just couldn't understand it
If I could of changed that, then Lord knows I'd do it now
But there is no going back -
And what's done is done forever
But you were always chained and shackled by the dirt -
Of every small town institution and every big town flirt
And I think of what you might have been,
a man of such great promise
Oh but, you seem to forget the dream -
And the more you saw you hated
But let's not talk of blame, for what is only natural
Like a moth going to a flame -
You had a dangerous passion
But you were always chained and shackled by the dirt -
Of every small town institution and every big town flirt
All the things that you might have been - but who am I to say?
Still I wonder -
If it's in the cold earth you prefer to lay -
If it's in the cold earth - you prefer to stay
FANTASTIC.... CANT STOP WATCHIN !!
the classic wellerband line up
Top top lyrics...
Just pure quality.
On repeat right now. Introspection 💚💙

perfect pop
Love him with a fairly normal haircut
He can have a mullet and he’d still look good.
@@TheMusicalElitist perm??
Amazing. Love Weller with short hair. Cool as fuck
Much better then the style council love it
No better than this.
