PRETTY GREEN (Paul Weller)I`ve got a pocket full of pretty green -I`m gonna put it in the fruit machine -I`m gonna put it in the juke box -It`s gonna play all the records in the hit parade -This is the pretty green - this is society -You can`t do nothing - unless it`s in the pocket - oh no -I`ve got a pocket full of pretty green -I`m gonna give it to the man behind the counter -He`s gonna give me food and water -I`m gonna eat that and look for more -And they didn`t teach me that in school -It`s something that I learnt on my own -That power is measured by the pound or the fist -It`s as clear as this oh -I`ve got a pocket full of Pretty Green!MONDAY (Paul Weller)Rainclouds came and stole my thunder -Left me barren like a desertBut a sunshine girl like youIt`s worth going through -I will never be embarrassed about love again.Tortured winds that blew me over -When I start to think that I`m something specialThey tell me that I`m not -And they`re right and I`m glad and I`m not -I will never be embarrassed about that again.Oh baby I`m dreaming of Monday,Oh baby will I see you again,Oh baby I`m dreaming of Monday.MAN IN THE CORNER SHOP (Paul Weller)Puts up the closed sign does the man in the corner shopServes his last and says goodbye to himHe knows it is a hard lifeBut its nice to be your own boss reallyWalks off home does the last customerHe is jealous of the man in the corner shopHe is sick of working at the factorySays it must be nice to be your own boss (really)Sells cigars to the boss from the factoryHe is jealous is the man in the corner shopHe is sick of struggling so hardHe says - it must be nice to own a factoryGo to church do the people from the areaAll shapes and classes sit and pray togetherFor here they are all oneFor God created all men equal.SET THE HOUSE ABLAZE (Paul Weller)I was in the Pub last nightWhen a mutual friend of ours saidHe`d seen you in the uniform.Yeah the leather belt looks manlyThe black boots butchBut oh what a bastard to get off.Promises, promisesThey offer real solutionsBut hatred has never won for long.And something you said set the house ablazeYou was so open mindedBut by someone blindedAnd now your sign says closed.Promises, promisesThey offer real solutionsBut hatred has never won for long.I think we`ve lost our perception -I think we`ve lost sight of the goals we should be working forI think we`ve lost our reasonWe stumble blindly and that vision must be restored!I wish that there was somethingI could do about itI wish that there was some wayI could try to fight itScream and shout it -It is called indoctrinationAnd it happens on all levelsBut it has nothing to do with equalityIt has nothing to do with democracyAnd though it professes toIt has nothing to do with humanityIt is cold hard and mechanical
