Paul Weller - English Rose Lyrics






No matter where I roam
I will come back to my English rose
For no bonds can ever tempt me from she
I've sailed the seven seas,
Flown the whole blue sky.
But I've returned with haste
To where my love does lie.
No matter where I go
I will come back to my English Rose
For nothing can ever tempt me from she.
I've searched the secret mists -
I've climbed the highest peaks
Caught the wild wind home
To hear her soft voice speak
No matter where I roam
I will come back to my English Rose
For no bonds can ever tempt me from she.
I've been to ancient worlds
I've scoured the whole universe
And caught the first train home
To be at her side.
No matter where I go
I will return to my English Rose
For no bonds, nothing and no-one can ever keep me from she

    It won't happen nowadays. You can return Paul but the English rose will probably be shacked up with Mohamed or a lesbian socialist.

    Forever loyal to my country, and this song is written with pure Heart n' soul. Sometimes the simplest melodies ..and direct heart-felt words spark your patriotism. But Paul's sincerity in this performance ..overides everything. Just a lovely, beautiful song .. :)

  36. J.... T....

    I saw the jam live.,
    Great band
    Great tunes

  40. M.... B....

    ENGLAND

  41. C.... D....

    Is he beginning to forget how to play The Jam stuff? Here he starts in G and ends in A, unlike the original record, which starts in G# and ends in A.

  42. j.... c....

    its great

  43. J.... T....

    unfathomable but this is wayyy better than the 1978 version .....guy just gets better

  44. l.... t....

    Yeah English girls and music is the only good thing about this shithole of a country

  45. T.... K....

    Amazing track!

  46. M.... M....

    This Is England 🎶

  47. d.... ....

    should be National anthem!

  48. M.... A....

    favourite jam track ,welller is a legend..

  49. S.... P....

    I love the jam and always will God save the jam xxxx

  50. G.... J....

    Should be our National Anthem.

    G.... J....

    Gary Johnston you are so right. Can you imagine 80000 Englishmen belting that out at the football or rugby. Our national anthem is a joke.

    G.... J....

    @Pete Goff So right mate!

    G.... J....

    Pete Goff that would be the nuts mate.

    G.... J....

    well English Anthem and Scotland can have Flower of Scotland :) - From a JAM fan

    G.... J....

    But who is our rose?

  51. M.... B....

    w o w, perfection

  52. L.... B....

    ❤❤❤

  53. J.... A....

    Doesn't get any better than this. Pure class!

    J.... A....

    Couldnt agree more Janet. MOT

  54. D.... S....

    Reminds me of the two things I love the most in the world my wife and my country makes me cry a 50 year old ex skinhead.english till the day I die

    D.... S....

    Totally sums it all up for me,and this is from a 50 odd year old mod,and Glasgow based.

    D.... S....

    Im with ya brother

    D.... S....

    same but not a skinhead but a mod aged 51 and played this at my mothers funeral ... her tune x

  55. r.... ....

    God....Takes me back to days that will never be again

  56. d.... b....

    Perfect!

  57. K.... J....

    but if I had a sweet English Irish or Scottish rose my sentiments had been like Paul weller....God created England and it's females very beautiful

    K.... J....

    Emmm u r forgetting the Welsh roses 🌹

  58. K.... J....

    Discovered this song in a movie called "100 Streets".  It takes place in my favorite city in the world, London.  One of the main characters in the movie sings this song.  Just beautiful!

  59. P.... L....

    Is hard to listen to this without filling up. A true classic.

    P.... L....

    True - its in the chords. He learnt it from John and Paul, but he took it to another place himself.

  60. M.... ....

    That's a fucking good haircut.

  61. T.... ....

    Jamal & Theresa.❤❤

  62. O.... G....

    Beautiful.....my wife is my English Rose.

  63. D.... D....

    What modulator/synth/organ is being played throughout this show? Does anyone know? Maybe from what he'd been touring with (I dunno)?

  64. M.... H....

    Mark hurford this is class from the mod farther

  65. C.... p....

    This is England❤️

    C.... p....

    B edwards proud English is dwindling to a history over here in london. the world integrated but most of us English love our country and we cant change equality and slow down time (or reality if you like) so more foreign people come over we are already outnumbered 1 to 5 id say. its inevitable

    C.... p....

    I agree. And I'm Scottish. This is absolutely the best of England. Not in a stupid closed minded nationalistic sense, but in a pastoral, romantic beautiful sense.

    C.... p....

    Dumb fucks

    C.... p....

    @George Leech Explain? Smart arse.

  66. T.... ....

    This is a very special song to me. JM❤TS😢

  67. f.... ....

    Krista Murray you will always be my English Rose...

    Love to you wherever you may be, Paul Bhattacharyya. 1982 HGS

    f.... ....

    I'll stick with my Japanese rose(s) thank you very much!

  68. I.... D....

    It doesn't really make sense for Weller to sing this in the highly American inflected voice he started to use after moving on from The Jam.  It is, after all, about returning to his English Rose after travelling round the world.  The original version, sung in his natural English voice, sounds far more authentic.

    I.... D....

    On behalf of All---you really are a fucking knob......Ian Dunning go away.....

    I.... D....

    Ian Dunning .......BULLSHIT!

    I.... D....

    You sir are a massive twat.

    I.... D....

    you absolute cunt dunning .

    I.... D....

    How do you manage to get a signal under that bridge of yours?

  69. G.... B....

    The Jam forever...

    G.... B....

    bruno mars uptown funk you up

  70. A.... O....

    Shame about cut out in the middle, still thanks for uploading

  71. D.... L....

    one of the best

  72. M.... E....

    what a song love it

  73. N.... P....

    legend, amazing song...

  74. D.... M....

    There nothing in the Universe like an English Rose. . . period.

    D.... M....

    I love this man, I have followed him since the Jam and he has been a music hero since I was 10yrs old and he only gets better with time... This song I truly love as I'm Scottish but its incredibly beautiful... Your the best Mr Weller... ❤️

  75. F.... G....

    No matter were I roam , I will return to my English rose,       XX :)

  76. F.... G....

    Its so beautiful...I love it..xx

  77. M.... R....

  79. J.... A....

    LOOOOONG LIVE ENGLANDDD!!!!!!!!! MY ENGLISH ROSEEEEEEEE!!!!

  80. N.... S....

    N.... S....

    Nice . X :)

  81. l.... l....

    Ace song

  82. M.... ....

    Loved this since i 1st heard it 1984

  83. L.... K....

    One of my all time favorite jam tunes!

  84. M.... ....

    Is this man one of our greatest national assets or what? All hail St Paul.

  85. j.... ....

    About as close to perfection as your ever likely to hear.

    j.... ....

    @jammymck67 I agee!

    j.... ....

    Well said. Noel Gallagher likes to call himself a genius and the saviour of British Rock music - unfortunately he was 10 years too late and PW continues to out do him to this day. British icon up there with Paul, John and George as a writer / performer / influence

    j.... ....

    Spartanm333 Just because Weller is a genius doesn’t make Noel less of a genius, and Weller would be the first to say that.

  86. G.... ....

    How many funerals in England has this been or will this be played on?

    G.... ....

    +topseyshakehands hahahaha

    G.... ....

    digiface love it!

    G.... ....

    My husbands

    G.... ....

    My sisters. She is a English rose to us.x

    G.... ....

    Just debating this exact thing. My dad's funeral is on Monday (28th Jan) Trying to pick between this and Paul Weller broken stones. Horrible situation to be in but 2 beautiful songs that id never heard before this past week. RIP Pops xx

  87. T.... L....

    More scary when you realise how young he was when he wrote this.

    T.... L....

    Yes definitely,far ahead of his time !

    T.... L....

    The Last Guitar Hero is more a worry for me wondering where the years inbetween went

  88. K.... R....

    A bit of Otis Reading in there still...

  89. C.... D....

    Weller's voice is top.

  90. J.... K....

    This wasn't on Later... It was a channel 4 concert.

    J.... K....

    It was on later may have been ch4 too but was on later to promote days of speed. Also available on dvd

  91. O.... ....

    Anyone know what that effect in the background is? It sounds like it could be a really high octave modulator that's sort of bending.

  92. M.... B....

    Thanks Paul, what a legend and a song that goes to my heart

  93. s.... .....
