Too bad they never caught on here in the States. Weller's accent is to thick for Americans to understand and they were "too English" to ever really have a chance. Loving them as you and I do, It's our country's loss. I like Style Council too.
Love it. "We'll all be happy and we'll all be wise and together we will live beneath a burning sky" I'm not even sure what that means but it does seem somehow profound.
I always thought it meant that THEY will make us think we are happy with cars and Plasma TV etc while we are burning and not noticing!! So true in so many ways
I could never figure out what that lyric was, now I know. "It's only us realists and who are gona come through 'cause there's only one power higher that that of truth and that's the burning sky."
Love the jam
just a brilliant band,the booming voice of WELLER and the common mans boredom of feeding the Machine.this was always one of my favorites

The Lyrics and cynical irony of Weller at such a young age is amazing. I got hooked at 12 now 52 !!
I have faced this reckoning too many times.
I stopped wondering what I am doing wrong after time No. 2 -

A great song but I prefer the acoustic version over this one.
