With Everything To Lose｜The Style Council

Live at Wembley Arena London, December 1985（Lylics：Steve White）日本語対訳付き
From the playground to the wasteground
Hope ends at 17 -
Sweeping floors and filling shelves
Forced into government schemes -
11 years spent to dig out ditches,
Forget your schoolday dreams -
Guarantees and lie-filled speeches,
But nothings what it seems -
Qualified and patronised and with everything to lose.
No choice or chance for the future
The rich enjoy less tax -
Dress the girls in pretty pink
The shit goes to the blacks
A generation's heart torn out
And covered up the facts
The only thing they'll understand
Is a wall against their backs
The only hope now left for those - with everything to lose.
In desperation empty eyes,
Signed up and thrown away -
There's drugs replacing dignity,
The short sharp shock repaid -
There'll be no money if you dare to question
Working the Tory way -
The truth is up there carved in stone,
Where 21 dead now lay -
A family's loss for a few pounds saved -
With everything to lose.

One of the amazing 80's bands.

Timeless & pure class! TSC underrated. Great vocals & instrumentally cannot fault it. And yes to write two sets of lyrics 'Ever had it 'Blue & lyrics to 'Everything to Lose' very skillful & insightful. This track sadly still holds true today.

Is that a young Jacko Peake on saxophone? What a great song, Our Favourite Shop summed up everything that was happening then. Even still prevalent now.

Weller magnifico, creativo e raffinato chitarrista. Mi ha accompagnato tra gioia e pianto.

[@rehabilitation100]

It takes a genius to write completely different lyrics to the same music and yet both sound different !!! #everhaditblue

[@garymilburn2148]

steve white wrote these lyrics while weller wrote blue

[@jaimecampos6115]

Esta banda es pura clase y refinamiento, los arreglos son magníficos.

[@gscarsi11]

This is the original version, much better than the one they recut for Absoute Beginners (with much less political lyrics). When Steve White wrote these lyrics, he was 19 - assuming they were written in 1984 for publication in 1985 (Our Favourite Shop). Unbeatable.

[@acousticweller3512]

Ever had it blue was originally wrote in 84 before this , The film was held up 2 years after Weller wrote it

[@arricammarques1955]

Political jabs are spot on. Sadly, it effected radio play in the unites states of amnesia.

[@charleswilson7452]

Same tune as Have you ever had it blue

Grandissima band

[@claudioalbuquerquecimas3321]

Essa flauta é chique demais 👏👏👏

[@1979snicks]

Why does sophistipop do it for me...for us? From them to Sade,EBTG to Swing Out Sister, Basia to The bloody Blow Monkeys, this genre fits just about anywhere. It’s the Jazz-infusion...and can anyone tell me if Downtown Julie Brown did backup for them before her MTV heydays?

[@s.k.9401]

sophistipop is pure class💯💯

[@TheDena85]

Ótima música! Pena não termos mais artistas desse nível em atividade!

Superb! ㊗ Arigato!

[@glasshalffull8471]

I had a cassette of this live album, It was thesame soundtrack to my first Bangkok trip in around '85 along with Sadè and Sting Bring on the night, Hard to find any copy of the whole live show nowadays, may have been a thai bootleg I had.

[@johnnicol64]

I have it all on CD

[@user-si3qt9ss6r]

So he now became rich, singing this kind of songs.

[@Fractalite]

If hes well off its because he has a decent work ethic and worked hard at his craft every day .
