'Thought you were clever when you lit the fuse, tore down the house of commons in your brand new shoes, composed a revolutionary symphony, then went to bed with a charming young thing'. Paul Weller's young, fresh, eloquent take down of the punk myth (a charming young thing). The phoney revolution - pseudo anarchistic posturing (thought you were clever when you lit the fuse), shoes and haircuts against the hereditary elitist capitalist establishment (tore down the house of commons in your brand new shoes). Write a catchy tune about it (composed a revolutionary symphony), sell it to the hopeful youth and, fuck 'em, cash in (then went to bed with a charming young thing). Superb poetry.
