Paul Weller - 7 & 3 Is The Striker's Name Lyrics






Beak to bleak and crossing every line
The winds of change and the sons of time
7 & 3 is the strikers name
Washing his hands as he walks away

Come on! Come on! The sky is bright
Our wings are clipped but we still might fly away

Come on! Come on! The sky is bright
Our wings are clipped but we still might fly away

Curse my master and his slave
And his soldiers too
Curse those fuckers in the castle
They're all bastards too

I could be stable, I might be fine
I don't want to fuck it up this time
Well, she loves me tender, she loves me strong
We're star crossed lovers and we sing this song

Come on! Come on! The sky is bright
Our wings are clipped but we still might fly away

Come on! Come on! The sky is bright
Our wings are clipped but we still might fly away

Curse my master and his slave
And his soldiers too
Curse those fuckers in the castle
They're all bastards too

Away in the night like a thief of old
Not too skinny and not too bold
7 & 3 is the striker's name
Washing his hands as he walks away

She loves me tender, she loves me strong
We're star crossed lovers and we sing this song

Paul Weller 7 & 3 Is The Striker's Name Comments
  1. J.... H....

    Paul Weller a British Institution;-)

  2. J.... H....

    Curse those bar/stewards in the castle

  3. T.... ....

    God Father of Mod...Paul Weller never ceases to amaze...what an amazing song

  4. S.... C....

    "7&3 Is The Strikers Name" meaning of this passage is? if u know answer, cool-don't be a dick w/ some BS.

  5. b.... h....

    I love the raw sound .....

  6. P.... ....

    favourite weller track in recent years, his lyrics have often been abstract, has a real dark edge to it.

  7. c.... m....

    Why this sounds this way is 100% to do with Kevin Shields (anoraks)...

  8. B.... S....

    he aint hendrix/dont think he figures he is spose to be

  9. J.... M....

    7&3 = Number Ten.

  10. N.... ....

    Nearly as good as some of my tunes. Nice.

  11. s.... A....

    think Hendrix would have been proud of this.....

  12. a.... j....

    most badass old guy ever, i forgot how much i loved pauls music when i started listning to oasis and then i heard wake up the nation on the radio and went mental for mr weller again (keep in mind im 13)

  13. e.... ....

    Everything about this video is simply fantastic. Nice one Weller. x

  14. m.... ....

    I've been a fan of Wellers' for a long long time but this is crap imo. Branching out is only good if the stuff you're doing is quality. I'm not like some people who'd like whatever he did whether it was crap or not.

  15. T.... O....

    I love this video...It visuals are mind-blowindg and the music is too...Wow!!!

  16. D.... D....

    @MIKEYJAMFAN Totally agree. Hardly recognise this to the live version I saw him play the other night (which imo was shedloads better)

  17. s.... ....

    @dukebox i totally disagree- This is called branching out and reminds me of some of the jams experimental stuff- at 52 its good to see paul breaking free from traditonal song structures which if you were a musician youd know get pretty confining!- atleast this is challenging! But one mans garbage is anothers treasure - glad hes throwing out the rule book!

  18. p.... ....

    Love the guitar work by Shields, but can't help feeling Weller's accent is a bit "put on"

  19. T.... ....

    Dig it!!

  20. M.... K....

    His name is Kevin Shields. You should listen to some more music.

  21. S.... O....

    brilliant
    its so much different to 22 dreams which is what i like about well he always changes his music style with sucess :)

  22. W.... A....

    Weller picking up again, i liked it going to listen again

  23. A.... C....

    Love the video...not his best song but still manages to look cool...

  24. M.... ....

    Whoever put the overdubs on this track ruined it!!!!!. Listen to the live version which is so much better and should have been released as the single version!.

  25. z.... ....

    Where's that 6th star when you need it? Truly deserving.

  26. F.... L....

    Why Minchella and White aren't in the band anymore??

  27. C.... R....

    Viva Weller es Impresionante lo mejor de lo mejor BEST of the BEST amaizing tune i love it come to VENEZUELA dude Please

  28. J.... ....

    i luv this man sooo much... i crave new music from him cant wait 4 the new album...

  29. C.... P....

    Early Morning waking up and what do i see

    A New Album on the Way ...

    Buzzin!

  30. b.... ....

    Just when you think he can't do any better, he pulls another classic out of the ether. Nice!

  31. j.... ....

    its a new single from his up coming album "wake the nation" - out sometime in 2010.

  32. q.... ....

    I've been subscribed to this channel for a while, but i don't recall seeing any other videos for quite a while... so i'm not at all up to date: is this a new song, a new album? or a new performance of an older song. He's such an amazing talent.... and the interview that leads off this channel, it's so inspiring. No artifice, a ton of humility, and a strong work ethic --- that's all in addition to being a great musician & songwriter.

  33. l.... ....

    love it, nice one :)
