"Just a small town girl Living in a lonely world She took the midnight train Going anywhere Just a city boy Born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train Going anywhere........ " Love it | |||

"Don't touch me, please I cannot stand the way you tease I love you though you hurt me so Now I'm gonna pack my things and go" Cant beat soft cell | |||

"My girl likes to party all the time. A song that most people will know but will be shocked to see who sings it. Search on utbe and i guarantee you will be surprised" I found this out a year ago, was very suprised | |||
| |||

"Rows and rows of disused milk floats stand dying in the dairy yard And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious" Marvellous | |||
| |||
"Rows and rows of disused milk floats stand dying in the dairy yard And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious Marvellous " Was tempted to quote the whole song as it's sheer poetry and kitchen sink drama set to music - you don't write lines like the following easily yet Weller did time and time again back then: A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef Gets dashed against the Co-op To either cut down on beer or the kid's new gear It's a big decision in a town called malice, ooh yeah The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track It's at the moment bound for nowhere Just going round and round, oh Playground kids and creaking swings Lost laughter in the breeze I could go on for hours and I probably will But I'd sooner put some joy back In this town called malice, yeah | |||

"Weller is an underrated lyricist " These days he is and has almost become the forgotten man - back in the day he was rightly lauded as the lyrical genius that he is | |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
"Another much underrated lyricist (Lee J Thompson) came up with the following - made even more striking when you know the story behind the lyrics, which he has a clever way of getting across without shoving it in your face with much of his songwriting: Received a letter just the other day Don't seem they wanna know you no more They've laid it down given you their score Within the first two lines it bluntly read You're not to come and see us no more Keep away from our door Don't come 'round here no more What on earth did you do that for? " madness  | |||
"One of my favourite all time songs, saw her at Rewind this summer 39yrs since first releases & she still sounded amazing.... " Hazel O'Connor was in the spotlight for far too short a time and Will You is an amazing song that just captures a moment and mood perfectly | |||
| |||
| |||
"I see a ship in the harbour I can and shall obey But if it wasn't for your misfortune I'd be a heavenly person today And I thought I was mistaken And I thought I heard you speak Tell me, how do I feel? Tell me now, how should I feel?" that album lost factory records money every time one was purchased | |||
| |||

Tell me now, how should I feel? that album lost factory records money every time one was purchased " Yep that's true, was because of the die cut sleeve | |||
"I was gobsmacked when i found out. Its such a perfect 80's song So true" Funny how it feels.. | |||
"Punctured bicycle On a hillside desolate Will nature make a man of me yet" I would go out tonight but I haven't got a stitch to wear | |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
"Weller is an underrated lyricist These days he is and has almost become the forgotten man - back in the day he was rightly lauded as the lyrical genius that he is" He really is a poet laureate with a guitar. All of the singles by the Jam were in another class. 'What chance have you got against a tie and a crest?' | |||
"Punctured bicycle On a hillside desolate Will nature make a man of me yet I would go out tonight but I haven't got a stitch to wear " This man said it's gruesome That someone so handsome should care | |||

"A smash of glass and a rumble of boots An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat Lights going out and a kick in the balls More lyrical genius from Mr Weller" Shame he's such a miserable git | |||
"A smash of glass and a rumble of boots An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat Lights going out and a kick in the balls More lyrical genius from Mr Weller Shame he's such a miserable git " He's mellowed with age though - which is actually a shame as it shows in his lyrics | |||
| |||
| |||
We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and throw
All the songs we know | |||
"A smash of glass and a rumble of boots An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat Lights going out and a kick in the balls More lyrical genius from Mr Weller Shame he's such a miserable git He's mellowed with age though - which is actually a shame as it shows in his lyrics" Yeah instead of being angry and miserable, he's just miserable | |||

"The music is weaving Haunting notes, pizzicato strings The rhythm is calling Alone in the night as the daylight brings A cool empty silence The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky It fades to the distance" That means nothing to me ... | |||
"I'm the dandy highway man Whome you're too scared to mention I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention The devil takes your stereo and your record collection The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension " Adam Ant | |||

"Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving All looking for a new place to drive You sit beside me so newly charming Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Way down the lane away, living for another day The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Sing blue silver And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind To tear out from your eyes, with a thought to stiffen brooding lies And I'll only watch you leave me further behind And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Sing blue silver Sing, sing, blue silver" Was listening to that last night | |||
