Paul Weller Album

Come out to play
Now the light nights are here
We'll swing and sway
Now the light nights are here

Hold us
Now the light nights are here
We'll love
Now the light nights are here

Come away with me
Come and stay with me
Run away with me

Come out to play
Now the light nights are here

And where shall we go
Neither of us knows
Now the days are getting longer
Our thoughts are getting stronger

Come out to play
Now the light nights are here

Come away with me
Come and stay with me
Run away with me

Love me till the next dawning
Make me feel that I'm wanted
I've been so very frozen
Make me feel that I'm chosen

Come out to play
Now the light nights are here
We'll swing and sway
Now the light nights are here

Hold us
Now the light nights are here
Now we'll love
Now the light nights are here

I had 22 dreams last night
and you were in twenty one
The last one I saved for myself
Just to save my soul
I got this scene by a fireplace
I lost control of the human race
I had 22 dreams last night

I had 45 films to watch
But only one I could take
The mysteries of a secret smile
It must be dull in that place
Pull me on with a loving kiss
I remember all the things I missed
You mean so much when the dawn is gone
I feel alone in the morning sun
I had 22 dreams last night

You pick me up with a loving kiss
I remembered all the things I missed
You mean so much when the dawn is gone
I feel alone in the morning sun
I had 22 dreams last night
*and you were in twenty one*
That’s enough for a lifetime of dreams
That’s enough for anyone

22 (repeat)

(just to save my soul)

I'm not out to convince you
But draw upon your mind
I'm not to lose you
You know I'm not that kind

All I wanna do is be with you
All I wanna do is be with you

I'm not here to forgive you
I'm neither clever nor confused
I'm not looking to steal you
Don't want you feeling used

All I wanna do is be with you
All I wanna do is be with you

I've given dust
I feel the most
I twist and turn, turn
I'm lost and found
Can you give out?
Can you see them?
Remember

I'm not out to train you
Leave you far and far behind
I'm not here to claim you
You know I'm not that kind

All I wanna do is be with you
All I wanna do is be with you
Be with you
Be with you
Be with you

All I wanna do is be with you
With you
Be with you

The smoke is runnin' through your hair
There's a look in your eyes
I see a glimpse of smile on your face
But I know that smile ain't mine.
Our fool begins, our fool begins (?)
They say everything has a place and time
This ain't one of those times
I feel there's something in the air
I just don't know why, don't know why.

What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been
Have you made up your mind?
(Made up your mind)
Have you made up my mind for me?
(Made up your mind)
Have you made up your mind?
(Made up your mind)
Have you made up my mind for me?
(Ooh)
So easily..

There's a love light breakin' through the door
Where will I be when morning comes?
I feel it feelin' in my bones
Just don't know where my feet will go.

What a fool I've been
Oh, what a fool I've been
Have you made up your mind?
(Made up your mind)
Have you made up my mind for me?
(Made up your mind)
Have you made up your mind?
(Made up your mind)
Have you made up my mind for me?
(Ooh)

They say there's a time and place for everything
This ain't one of those times

What a fool I've been
Oh, what a fool I've been
Have you made up your mind?
(Made up your mind)
Have you made up my mind for me?
(Made up your mind)
Have you made up your mind?
(Made up your mind)
Have you made up my mind for me?
(Ooh)

So easily.. ohoh.. so easily..
(Made up your mind)
Have you made up your mind baby?
(Made up your mind)
Have you made up your mind...

Careful not to end up fighting no-one
Still battling on, when all your enemies are gone
Making you look dumb and stupid, in an empty ring

What would it matter to you?
If the parts you always planned
Was right there in your hand
With no-one there to see land, in an empty ring

Taste the fear of fortune
The smell of toil and sweat
With the crowd in there to see it
It's just another memory, just another memory
In an empty ring (empty ring)

Words of wisdom fail you
And the time it takes to fall
With the crowd in there to see it
It's just another memory, just another memory
In an empty ring (empty ring)

With the world to listen to ya
Still rattling on with “oh, the war is won”
You just don't know when to give up; do you?

In an empty ring (empty ring).

I'm invisible
Float across the floor
You can't even see me

Drift through walls and tables
And you still don't believe me
I'm not one to give up
But I feel I'm at a loss

To you I'm invisible
Pass through doors and windows
You won't even know it

There was a time
I thought every hair on my body was alive
And so it was

Now you can't even see the granted time
I'm not one to give up but I feel I'm at a loss

The world doesn't roll in a dark hall
I just feel the color drain from me
Hey, I'm tellin' you I'm become invisible

Invisible
I skim across the floor
You can't even see me

I make a joke and toss a line
Till no one there can see me alive
I don't want to give up
But I feel I'm at a loss
I'm invisible

Packing up, baby
Packing up, baby
Packing up, baby
Packing up, baby

Packing up, baby
Packing up, baby
Shaking up, baby
Packing up, baby

[No lyrics]

In those cold, cold moments
Waiting for that girl to come
Oh, she's the one

Got my hands deep in my pockets
Trying to keep out all the rain
She caused me such pain

But she's got me so
Lord, that girl drive me insane

In that far off distance
I can see the lights of town
It sure bring me down

No I miss them so
Lord, I can't stay here no more

Waiting for the dice to roll
Where I'm heading I don't know
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
I just hate to move on

From these cold, cold moments
Cold, cold moments

Getting time to get on board
Green Line coach take me somewhere warm
Don't look like she's gonna show
Where I'm heading I don't know, I don't know

Sha la la la, sha la la
Sha la la la, sha la la
Sha la la la, sha la la

In those cold, cold moments
Waiting for that girl to come
Oh, she's the one

Got my hands deep in my pockets
Trying to keep out of the rain
She caused me such pain

She's got me so
Lord, that girl got me insane
Yes, that's got me so
I just got to let it go

From these cold, cold moments
From these cold, cold moments

Black river
Black river
Black river

The story's still unfolding and like the river rolling
It's always moving like a tide
Seemingly unchanging
But of course nothing stays the same, you'll see

Black river
Black river
Black river

And if I scratch the surface and try to look to learn it
Oh, what fantastic worlds I'll find
Stay with me forever
Buried deep inside my mind, you'll see

Sha, la, la, la, la
I'm casting out my line
Although it's floating by
Who knows what I'll find, we'll see

It's early in the morning, I watched a raindrop falling
So slim and tender from a leaf
It stays with me forever
Buried deep inside of me, you'll see

Black river
Black river
Black river

Black river
Black river
Black river
You drifter

My son runs to the shore
To the world that lies before
He can't hear my sound
He's much to in tune with the ground

He sees only the tide
And the surf and the sea
He's oblivious to me calling

In years to come
I will still call him son
But he'll have no time to wait
He must see beyond his fate

He sees only the sun
And the wind make it free
His only defense will always be

Why walk when you can run?

Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind my son

Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind my son

Through sheets of time
Are the wings of a bird
He'll come to the edge
To look life in the eyes

Is he holding the keys
To the world and his dreams?
His strongest defense will always be

Why walk when you can run?
Why walk when you can run?

Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind my son

Run like the wind, run like the wind
Don't turn your back, no giving in
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind my son

Push it along, push it along, baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby
Push it along, push it along, baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby

The desert moon is falling across the sands
Feel the loving touch of invisible hands
And all across the skies I could see his eyes
Lift me up, let my soul just fly

Push it along, push it along, baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby
Push it along, push it along, baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby
Push it along, push it along, baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby

Through desert wings that know no reason
When the only sound is of the season
The heat of the day, the cool of the evening
Are the only measures of what I'm feelin!

Told what to feel, told what to see
Told what to see, told what to feel
I'm used to this I'm used to that
I'll stand in a field in a scarecrows hat!

Push it along, push it along, baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby
Push it along, push it along, baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby
Push it along, push it along, baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby
push it along, push it along, baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby
push it along, push it along, baby gonna ride thr train, ride it baby
push it along, push it along, baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby
push it along, push it along, baby gonna ride the train

Got to save my soul
Soul
Soul
Soul
Soul
Soul...

Is it strange? Is it weird?
They come in search of truth
We must be on the spot
There's only me and you

???? and you were fine
All your thoughts are out of mine

It doesn't start it will not end
But how will we be moved?
On a rock spinning through the echoes round the sun

Echoes round the sun, echoes round the sun
On a rock spinning through the echoes round the sun
Echoes round the sun, echoes round the sun
On a rock spinning through the echoes round the sun

Looks up and comes down
Floating through the void
Getting lost, getting found
Is something we can use

It doesn't start, it doesn't end
How will we be moved?
On a rock spinning through the echoes round the sun

Echoes round the sun, echoes round the sun
On a rock spinning through the echoes round the sun
Echoes round the sun, echoes round the sun
On a rock spinning through the echoes round the sun
Echoes round the sun, echoes round the sun
On a rock spinning through the echoes round the sun

Me and you on a spot
Me and you on a spot
Me and you on a spot
Me and you on a spot
(repeat to fade)

I only want you, I only want you
You're the one bright star in my eyes
I only need you, I only need you
You're the one bright star, shine for me

Without you I feel nothing
My one bright star shine for me

I only love you, I only love you
You're the one bright star in my life
I only need you, I only need you
You're the one bright star, shine for me

Without you I feel nothing
My one bright star shine for me

[No lyrics]

And where'er ye go
That we'll never know
But as long as you come back
That's all that really matters

And where'er ye go
As surely you will
Taking with you most of all
Our whole breath and magic

But that's who you are
And we have to accept
We either live with it
Or live without you

So where'er ye go
And come ye back
As each time you do
You bring with ye such stories
That we lose ourselves

Because our echoes are forgotten
And you never forget
You just lose track of time
That's alright, it's really alright
For we couldn't bear to be without you

And I looked up and I spoke to God
And God said look at you, don't look at me
You only call on me when you need me
And when you don't, you hardly think of me at all

I don't enter your head for weeks at a time
And the times I do are in your despair that you created and not I
And still you look up at me in such pleading terms
That's how I kinda come to know you

But don't look at me look at you
Don't look at me look at you

And every night I pray to God
Please save the lives of those I love and take me instead
If you really need someone to keep you company
On that golden chair in the glare

Bring your guns to the table and recite your prayer
Lose all your hatred if you are to pray in there
The temple you're seeking is in front of your nose
Because the message you're giving is doing nothing for those

Seek and you shall find
Seek
Seek and you shall find
Seek

The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest

The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
The oldest is the young

Carry me home, carry me home
You old sea spray
Carry me home, carry me home
You old sea spray
Like the million stars before you
You shine through the strictest curfew
And listening to the rules of no-one
Just want to lay it over
Can you never see what I can see?

Carry me home, carry me home
You old sea spray
Carry me home, carry me home
You old salt spray
(Carry me home)
(You old sea spray)

Sweep me up and take me with you
To see the things that stand before you
Show me all this world has for me
I want all the light can show me
I can only be what I can see

Carry me home, carry me home
You old sea spray
Carry me home, carry me home
You old sea spray
Carry me home, carry me home
You old salt spray
Carry me home, carry me home
You old sea spray
