Shades of Blue Songtext
von Paul Weller

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

Oh, 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
Shape our views
The places you've been
To follow a dream
In shades of blue

And in a small side street of contemplation
He lost it
And 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′re shown
Shape our views
The places you′ve been
To follow a dream
In shades of blue


The people you know
The things that you're shown
Shape our views
The places you′ve been
To follow a dream
In shades of blue

Spend all your life
