Theres better ways of making cash
Than waiting in parks and selling your arse.
But Im on the move and about to stay,
Always old in a very young way.
Im a fool to myself when I think now,
I believed in the why but didnt know how.
And now I dont fit with no place to go,
Only down in a comical show.
All of the promises and all the dreams,
Couldnt put humpty back on his feet.
All the queens horses and all the queens guards,
Couldnt put money back in the yards.
Theres better ways of losing your pride,
Than waiting in queues for a cheque at a time.
But Ive been taught that its me whose the ponce,
And I can only act as Ive been taught to respond.
But theres better ways to make ends meet,
Than shuffling through life dead on your feet.
But here we are and there they stay,
With their very small handouts in a very big way.
The lyrics IWASADOLEDADSTOYBOY of THE STYLE COUNCIL is also present in the album Confession of a pop group (1988)
Gli Style Council sono stati una band britannica di musica pop-soul, attiva dal 1982 al 1989. Fondati da Paul Weller, già frontman dei Jam, e Mick Talbot, il gruppo ha combinato influenze soul, jazz e funk con un approccio melodico e raffinato. I loro album, come "Café Bleu" (1983) e "Our Favourite Shop" (1984), hanno raggiunto il successo commerciale in Gran Bretagna, grazie a brani come "Speak Like A Child", "You're The Best Thing", e "The Lodgers". Gli Style Council sono stati un gruppo innovativo che ha contribuito a definire l'estetica e la musica della scena britannica degli anni '80. Weller, con il suo stile sartoriale e le sue canzoni introspettive, è diventato un'icona di stile e una figura chiave nella storia del rock britannico.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
