Stop apologising
For things you never done
Oops - should have said favourite. His best line can only be selected by SW, our resident Weller pervert :nod:
Lots of good words in that song.
Easier to cite verses or part verses "... send you home in a pine overcoat. With a letter to your mum. Saying find enclosed one son - one medal and a note - to say he won."
or
:music:
Alone at 6 o'clock - you drop a cup -
You see it smash - inside you crack -
You can't go on - but you sweep it up -
Safe at last inside your Private Hell.
Sanity at last inside your Private Hell. :music:
Always gets me that. :cry:
Fúck sake's Herb, don't generalise. The Jam? TSC? Solo?
You can't just wade in like a public school plumber and ask for his best line.
In respect of the original power pop trio from Woking I have always had a soft spot for Saturday’s Kids:
Saturdays boys live life with insults,
Drink lots of beer and wait for half time results,
then again to overlook Tube Station or even snippets of Going Underground seems wrong:
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns
then again there is the 10 minute written snapshot of life that is That’s Entertainment:
Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude
Getting a cab and travelling on buses
Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs
We could be here all day.
It's okay Red, I knew what you meant.
I disagree all the same. Quite often I thought their best tracks were hidden almost – album tracks, b-sides (for those over 30).
Art School, Life From a Window, In The Crowd, the aforementioned Saturdays Kids, The Butterfly Collector, Private Hell, Ghosts, Man in the Corner Shop, Boy About Town.
Well yes, I asked about Weller's best line. He's been the lyricist at every stage of his career whatever his outfit.
I knew it would send you into a tailspin :-)Quote:
We could be here all day.
And this one, lyrically, was a cracker.

A filler which came from sessions at the ITC recording and a live staple in those days.
The fact The Who did it was good enough for them

Every lyric of his I have read in this thread has been sh1t.
And this is his good stuff? :yikes:
