Village Songtext
von Paul Weller

Here I am
Ten storeys high
Not a single cloud in my eye
Not a thing I′d change if I could
I'm happy here in my neighbourhood

And all the things, I′ve
Never been, I've
Never seen, I don't hear much
And all the things I′ve
Never done, I
Never want, I don′t hear much

Never knew what a world this was
'Til I looked in my heart
Saw myself for what I am
Found a whole world in my hand


All the things I′m s'posed to be
All the things that you want from me
I don′t know why
I don't know why
I don′t know why
I don't know why

I don't need all the things you got
I just want to be who I want
I don′t need all the things you hold
In high regard, they mean nothing at all

And all the things, I′ve
Never been, I've
Never seen, I don′t hear much
And all the things I've
Never done, I
Never want, I don′t hear much

This village is where I'm from
It′s one place that I call home
Don't show me another side
I've got heaven in my sight

Never knew what a world this was
′Til I looked in my heart
So much here for what I am
Found a whole world in my hand


And all the things, I′ve
Never seen, I've
Never been, I don′t hear much
And all the things I've
Never done, I
Never want out of
