Wings Of Speed - Stanley Road

Fly on wings of speed That will bring you home to me I’ll never be free – from the darkness i see As i wait for your smile. Though my hands are tied, My feet are bound by fate With clay at the base – as i sit and wait What visions i see. In […]

Whirlpool’s End - Stanley Road

The sun came out & hung above Over our heads but far enough to see A bomb exploding in another town Children choking 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 […]

Pink On White Walls - Stanley Road

The sun shone pink on white walls And the trees stood so tall Defiant, proud and loud against the sky. There’s no sign, there’s no plan There ain’t even a helping hand Just the bitter tang of sweet virtue. Don’t waste your time – Don’t hesitate – Life is but a moment, you can’t wait, […]

Out Of The Sinking - Stanley Road

Past midnight’s hold – Where the world’s awaiting – I’ll wait for you love – But i close my eyes, as there’s pain too in paradise – Hey baby say – just what you’re thinking – Know i know it – yeh, feel i’m sinking – Know i feel it – i know you feel […]

Broken Stones - Stanley Road

Like pebbles on a beach Kicked around, displaced by feet Like broken stones – all trying to get home. Like a loser’s reach Too slow & short to hit the peaks So lost & alone – trying to get home. As another piece shatters Another little bit gets lost And what else really matters – […]

Stanley Road – Paul Weller - Stanley Road

A hazy mist hung down the street The length of it’s mile – As far as my eye could see The sky so wide, the houses tall Or so they seemed to be, So they seemed to me so small, And it gleamed in the distance And it shone like the sun – Like silver […]

Time Passes… – Paul Weller - Stanley Road

I saw you today, or at least i think it was It’s hard to say, we’ve all changed so much – Compelled to look, but i hid my face It’s hard to trace – these feelings Gone so soon, the time i spent with you And like an old, old tune-keeps running through my head- […]

Woodcutter’s Son - Stanley Road

Sugartown has turned so sour Its people angry in their sleep There’s more small-town paranoia Sweeping down its evil sheets – You can tell it’s witching hour You can feel the spirits rise When the room goes very quiet And there’s hatred in their eyes – You better give me the chance I’ll cut you […]

You Do Something To Me - Stanley Road

You do something to me – something deep inside I’m hanging on the wire – for a love i’ll never find You do something wonderful – then chase it all away Mixing my emotions – that throws me back again Hanging on the wire, i’m waiting for the change I’m dancing through the fire, just […]

I Walk On Gilded Splinters - Stanley Road

Some people think they’re jammy But i know they must be crazy Can’t see their misfortune Even if they’re lazy Walk throughout the fire Drive throughout the smoke See my enemy at the end of the rope Walk on piles of needles See what they can do Walk on gilded splinters With the king of […]
