Suburban 100: Selected Lyrics

Paul Weller first burst onto the music scene in 1977 with his first band, The Jam. Their singles “In The City" and "Going Underground" defined the group's signature tune and brought them fame both in native Britain and abroad. At the beginning of 1983 Weller formed a new group called The Style Council, a band at the vanguard of the jazz/pop revival that later joined the Britpop movement, which gave rise to such bands as Oasis and Blur. The number one selling 1995 album Stanley Road took Weller back to the top of the charts and went on to become the best selling album of his career. Collected here are the lyrics from 100 songs from across Weller’s diverse, stories, and accomplished career, ranging from the best-loved to the less known.
