You do something to me
Something deep inside
I'm hanging on the wire
For love I'll never find
You do something wonderful
Chase it all away
Mixing my emotions
Throws me back again
Hanging on the wire, yeah
I'm waiting for my change
I'm dancing through the fire
Just to catch a flame
Feel real again
Hanging on the wire, yeah
Said I'm waiting for the change
Oh I'm dancing through the fire
Just to catch a flame
Feel real again
You do something to me
Somewhere deep inside
Hoping to get close to you
A peace I cannot find
Dancing through the fire, yeah
Just to catch a flame
Just to get close to
Just close enough
To tell you that...
You do something to me
Something deep inside

| BrightonGuy | Posted: Apr 15, 2013 - 10:43 His style is too British to ever get much attention anywhere else really.. Another Punk/Mod-turned-mainstream yawn in my very humble opinion. |

Hmm this came on today and I was actually kind of happy to hear it. Not quite as ponderous as those others. I still haven't rated it because the range is too wide. Today a 6, most days a Joe Cocker-esque 3. |

| Photo-John (Nor Cal to SLC) | Posted: Nov 22, 2011 - 11:25 Goddamnit I sure do love this song. I have a hard time attaching this Paul Weller to the Jam. This reminds me more of Dave Mason's stuff. Soo soulful and good! |
| Aud (lost in lakecity) | Posted: Oct 21, 2011 - 21:00 Beck, The Cure, Armatrading to Paul Weller!!! Whoa! What a set for a Friday night!! Unfortunately, I'm here at work, but not working...I'm thinking about the lyrics of these songs. And now Noir Desir! NO work from me dear manager. |
| ferwoman | Posted: Jul 19, 2011 - 11:36 Interesting sound - reminds me of John Legend. Very good! |

Quite why he is called Modfather I don't know - must have been his PRs - since not very much of his music pertains to or relates to the mods n rockers thing of the 60s in any way shape or form. He's not that old. Just the need of the press to give labels I guess. A fine elder statesman of English music anyway....just more hippy than mod in the Wild Wood/Stanley Road era. Not complaining though. 8/10 Paul Weller was the theme of a book, The Modfather, in which David Lines documented his life growing up in Leeds, and his adolescent obsession with Paul Weller. Paul was certainly influenced by 'Mod' style throughout his career and does come from the era of Mods & Rockers where sharp suits, pills and scooters were the thing. There is no one else that 'fits' the title Modfather better than Paul IMHO. |

| UncleChig (Montreal) | Posted: Mar 05, 2010 - 06:49 Paul Weller - Godlike Genius. .... Absolutely. His work with the Jam inspired this RP'er to get into a band. I give him a pass in Style Council, but his solo stuff is deserving of the highest honour. RP needs to play more Paul Weller News for the World: It's been a long time coming but Paul Weller - former leader of the Jam, lynchpin of the Style Council and all-round Modfather - is to be honoured by weekly music magazine NME when they crown him Godlike Genius at this year's Shockwaves NME Awards on Feb. 24. |
