Paul Weller - Shades of Blue

The tipping of scales
And the balance of time precede it

The ticking of clocks
In silent homes admit it
Larks ascending
Clash with planes

O my soul, what will I do to feed them
Nothing inside, nothing outside
Nothing in the kitchen
What I'm left with, I don't know

Spend all your life just to find out
All that matters is close to you

The people you know
The things that you're shown
That shape our views

The places you've been
To follow a dream
In shades of blue

Oh
Ooh, ooh

And in a small side street
Of contemplation
He lost it

An' in the late night bars
Of annihilation
He lost it

The truth is that "it"
Wasn't his to lose

Spend all your life
Just to find out
All that matters
Is close to you

The people you know
The things that you show
Shape our views

The places you've been
To follow a dream
In shades of blue

Oh, oh

The people you know
The things that you show
That shape our views

The places you've been
To follow a dream
In shades of blue
