Whirlpool's End

Paul Weller · Stanley Road [1995]

The sun came out and hung above

Over our heads but far enough to see



A bomb exploding in another town

Children chocking on a poison cloud

While on the streets, where lovers once walked

Side by side in idle talk

Bullets fall like unholy rain

People change as the panic sets in

A frightened baby by her dead mother's side

In a brutal world where there's nowhere

To run, hide or cry



Now nothing feels the same way

Feel like it's changing again

Upon a street with no name

It's hard to find it again



I ran as fast as my feet could fly

Down country lanes where I took my time

Time like a hound snapping at my heels

I got past thinking so that I could feel

Feels like a film playing in my head

And I kept rolling down green Surrey hills

In Spring



Now I don't feel the same way

I feel I'm changing again

Upon a stree with no name

It's hard to find me again



The sun came out and hung above, over our heads

but far enough to see
