(Paul Weller - Foot Of The Mountain)
Sliding out of the Creator selection into this one from the most influential English musicologist ever to grace my life, none other than Mr Paul Weller whose guidance has been an important part of my learning curve from 1977 onwards. Having featured him consistently over the last two years there’s not much more to add so I’ll just leave it to the man and his music to speak about what for me is one of life’s greatest mysterys…Women.
“Like a dream on the ocean,
Always drifting away,
And I can’t catch up,
She just slips away…on the tide,
Sometimes a great notion,
Can lead you astray,
So weak to devotion,
So strong to desire,
Baby, baby, baby won’t you let me ride,
Take me off on your sail boat ride,
Come on now angels are on your side,
But she slips away oh and never stays,
Like mercury gliding,
A silver teardrop that falls,
And I can’t hold on,
Through my fingers she’s gone,
At the foot of the mountain,
Such a long way to climb,
How will I ever get up there,
But I know I must try,
Baby, baby, baby won’t you let me ride,
Take me off on your sail boat ride,
Come on now angels, are on your side,
But she slips away oh and never stays,
Like a dream on the ocean,
Always drifting away,
And I can’t catch up,
She just skips away..on the tide,
Oh slips away…on the tide,
Oh slips away as she glides “
