Paul Weller - Broken Stones Lyrics






Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Like broken stones - they're all trying to get home.
Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone - they're all trying to get home.

As another piece shatters
Another little bit gets lost
What else truly matters - at such a cost?

Like a loser's reach -
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone - (like broken stones) they're all trying to get home.
(Yeah, you are)

And another piece shatters
Another little bit gets lost
Tell me what else really matters - at such a cost?

Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Oh, like broken stones - they're all trying to get home.
Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone - they're trying to get home.

Trying to get home, trying to get home,
Like broken stones, they're all trying to get home.

    I remember going to HMV music store when Stanley Road first came out. I asked the salesman to put it on the Hi Fi, and Changing Man came on, first track, and people stopped and listened.Broken stones is on that album, one of my favourite songs of all time. and the sound of that Wurlitzer electric piano, wow.

    Too slow and short to hit the peaks
    Yeah, so lost and alone
    Yeah, trying to get home

    As another pitch shatters
    Another little bit gets lost
    What else really matters?
    Oh, at such a cost

    Like a loser's reach
    Too slow and short to hit the peaks
    Yeah, he's lost and alone
    Yeah, a lot of folks stay home
    (Yeah, now you go home)
    (Yeah, now you go home)

    And another pitch shatters
    Another little bit gets lost
    Tell me what else really matters
    Oh, at such a cost

    Like pebbles on a beach
    Kicked around, displaced by feet
    Oh, like broken stones
    They're all trying to get home

    Like a loser's reach
    Too slow and short to hit the peaks
    Yeah, he's lost and alone
    Yeah, trying to get home

    Trying to get home
    Trying to get home
    Like broken stones
    Oh, trying to get home
    Trying to get home

    I loved the Jam way back in the day, but when punk faded, I lost track of Paul Weller. Listening my way through his considerable catalog now and I'm blown away! Every album is brilliant & a fresh discovery. It's like meeting a long lost friend and picking up where we left off.

  92. F.... M....

    My daughter chose this song for her dads funeral - this reminds her so much of him RIP Steve

    F.... M....

    @James Barlow God bless
