Paul Weller.

There seem to be quite a number of songs I like in this Box Set. Some are from The Jam and some from The Style Council.

I'll post a couple a day.

Hit Parade BOX SET

Paul Weller


Paul Weller's Hit Parade (Yep Roc), his first ever career spanning box set, chronicles 30 years of milestone work from one of the world's best songwriters. Four disks long and including a 60 page booklet, Hit Parade is a comprehensive Weller collection. Between 1977 and 1982, Weller released six wildly successful albums with The Jam, who still hold the UK record for most simultaneous Top 75 singles (including US smash Town Called Malice"). After The Jam, Weller formed The Style Council, with whom he scored 19 consecutive hits on the UK charts and performed at Live Aid. Since 1992, Weller has released eight critically acclaimed studio albums, including Stanley Road, considered one of the best British rock albums of all time. Finally, Hit Parade combines work from all three spectacular Paul Weller career stages into one astonishing package. Custom hard-bound book.

Release Date: January 23, 2007.




My Ever Changing Moods.


When You’re Young.


When You're Young - Paul Weller

Life is timeless, days are long when you're young

You used to fall in love with everyone

Any guitar and any bass drum

Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young

Life is new and there's things to be done

You can't wait to be grown up

Acceptance into the capital world

You pull on some weed, then you pull on someone when you're young

But you find out life isn't like that

It's so hard to comprehend

Why you set up your dreams to have them smashed in the end

But you don't mind you've got time on your side

And they're never gonna make you stand in line

You're just waiting for the right time

You're fearless and brave -

you can't be stopped when you're young

You swear you're never ever gonna work for someone

No corporations for the new age sons

Tears of rage roll down your face

But still you say "it's fun"

And you find out life isn't like that

It's so hard to understand

Why the world is your oyster but your future's a clam

It's got you in its grip before your born

It's done with the use of a dice and a board

They let you think you're king but you're really a pawn

You're fearless and brave - you can't be stopped when you're young

You used to fall in love with everyone

Any guitar and any bass drum

I can definitely relate to the words in that second song.

Tears of rage roll down your face

But still you say "it's fun"

Too true.
