A Man Of Great Promise - The Style Council[00:00:00]

Written by：Paul Weller[00:00:00]

I bought the paper yesterday[00:00:15]

And I saw the obituary[00:00:18]

And I read of how you died in pain[00:00:21]

Well I just couldn't understand it[00:00:25]

If I could of changed that[00:00:29]

Then Lord knows I'd do it now[00:00:32]

But there is no going back[00:00:35]

And what's done is done forever[00:00:39]

But you were always chained[00:00:45]

And shackled by the dirt[00:00:48]

Of every small town institution[00:00:52]

And every big town flirt[00:00:55]

And I think of what you might have been[00:01:12]

A man of such great promise[00:01:15]

Oh but you seem to forget the dream[00:01:19]

And the more you saw you hated[00:01:22]

But let's not talk of blame[00:01:26]

For what is only natural[00:01:29]

Like a moth going to a flame[00:01:33]

You had a dangerous passion[00:01:37]

But you were always chained[00:01:43]

And shackled by the dirt[00:01:46]

Of every small town institution[00:01:50]

And every big town flirt[00:01:53]

All the things that you might have been[00:01:57]

But who am I to say[00:02:00]

Still I wonder[00:02:03]

If it's the cold earth you prefer to lay[00:02:04]

If it's the cold earth you prefer to stay[00:02:11]
