Jam, The - Tales From The Riverbank Lyrics
Bring you a tale from the pastel fields
Where we ran when we were young
This is a tale from the water meadows
Trying to spread some hope into your heart
Both life and death are carried in this stream
That open space you could run for miles
Now you don't get so many to the pound
True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia
But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to
That I'll always run to
Won't you join me by the riverbank
Paradise found down by the still waters
No fears, no worries just a golden country
Woke at sunrise, went home at sunset
Now life is so critical, life is too cynical
We lose our innocence, we lose our very soul
True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia
But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to
That I'll always run to
True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia
But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to
That I always run to
Won't you join me by the riverbank
Come on and join me by the riverbank

Jam, The Tales From The Riverbank Comments
What a sound from 3 young men who knew music
True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia
Me and my dad sat in my room listening to this. He's gone now but this song will always remind me of him. He loved the jam and I loved him.
One of his most overlooked songs. Definitely in my top 10 of Paul Weller compositions.
Nostalgia 😵😵
Reminds me of my brother who hates me just for being born
B-side to Absolute Beginners
Rick Buckler went on to star as Terry in minder!
Masterpiece Indeed ! ;>
Greatest band ever
killer.
B-side of Absolute Beginners if I remember correctly?
Love that tag!
Haven't heard this for ages but one of their very best. Elegiac and wistful, lovely to listen to again and captures lost childhood so well.
Riverbank rally 1989.top gear CA.hearts to you bruvs

Noel Gallagher's Broken Arrow song sooo reminds me of this. Mega !
Masterpiece. My number one favourite from the Jam.
this is childhood in the seventies summed up, perfect !
A open place you could run for miles ...yeah I hear ya .
Paul Weller obviously listened to a lot of 60s psych.
