Paul Weller (born 25 May 1958) is an English singer / songwriter and leader of two successful bands: The Jam and The Style Council. In England, he is recognized as something of a national institution yet, because much of his songwriting is rooted in English culture, he has remained essentially a national, rather than an international, star. Wellers 17th studio album "66" is set to be released on 24 May 2024. The title is a reference to his 66th birthday, just a day after the release. <a href=

Quotes

  • Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young.
  • It's so hard to understand why the world is your oyster but your future's a clam.
  • If we get through for two minutes only it will be a start!
  • The fingers feel the lines, they prod the space - your ageing face,The face that was once so beautiful, is still there but unrecognisable...
  • The morning slips away in a Valium haze and catalogues,And numerous cups of coffee,In the afternoon the weekly food is put in bags - as you float off down the high street.The shop windows reflect, play a nameless host to a closet ghost -A picture of your fantasy, a victim of your misery...
  • I play out my role, I've even been out walking -They tell me that it helps, but I know when I'm beaten...
