The Loved - Paul Weller

Everyone thinks it’s fine

Making cash, coasting time

Everyone thinks it’s fair

To be almost free — to be almost there

But not really aware

Anyone can cry

So wipe away those phoney tears in your eyes

Don’t come 'round here

Expecting votes

See who charts the course on a sinking boat

And whatever you give

Listen — you give to give

But humanities so weak — if it can it would give

The loved of the loved

There’s a man down there

And it should be clear

I thought we knew

And believed in it too

Anyone can see why

So wipe away the phoney tears you cry

An' don’t come 'round here

Expecting votes

See who charts the course on a sinking boat

And whatever you give

Listen — you give to give

But humanities so weak — if it can it would give

The loved of the loved
