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 - 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
Big Boss Groove live.

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.
