Paul Weller - Woodcutter's Son Lyrics
Sugartown has turned so sour
Its people angry in their sleep
There's more small-town paranoia
Sweeping down its evil sheets
I'll cut you down with a glance
Yeh, with my small axe - so help me
And tho' I'm only one
And tho' weak I'm strong
And if it comes to the crunch
Then I'm the woodcutter's son
And I'm cutting down the wood for the good of everyone!
You can tell it's witching hour
When the room goes very quiet
And there's hatred in your eyes
You better give me the chance
I'll cut you down with a glance
Yeh, with my small axe - so help me
And tho' I'm only one
And tho' weak I'm strong
And if it comes to the crunch
Then I'm the woodcutter's son
And I'm cutting down the wood for the good of everyone!
There's a silence when I enter
And a murmur when I leave
I can see their jealous faces
I can feel the ice they breathe
You better give me the chance
I'll cut you down with a glance
Yeh, with my small axe - so help me
And tho' I'm only one
And tho' weak I'm strong
And if it comes to the crunch
Then I'm the woodcutter's son

Paul Weller Woodcutter's Son Comments
Not hard to see that the main man was so influenced by Steve Marriott.🇬🇧🇬🇧
I’m next
Jools annoyingly getting involved as per usual, great player but why does he insist on Inflating his ego with every big artist ??
This is fantastic live in the early days he used to finish most gigs with this tune
Incredible performance! Still remember seeing him on the Stanley Road tour, an experience never forgotten. of all his amazing work this album is his masterpiece!!!
On Fire 🔥 and then some X
Fucking Boom!
been pretty main stream live since steve white left
I have to say "Stanley Rd" ...is one of very ..maybe top 10 in my favourite all time album list ..not just because it is classic..but every song on it is Genius...Very rare to listen to a full album and every track is graciously ..beautiful and piano mixed with tight beat percussion...and that Small Faces vibe...brilliant ..
People in the background looking like they're hanging out at fern bar. I would have been loosing my mind jamming so hard.
Steve white is some drummer. So much energy. I wonder if "happy birthday AL" was for his brother?
Dave Carpenter No shit Sherlock..
It will never get better than this :)
Truly Legendary. The Master indeed.
What an F-ing talent he is
God... As far as I'm concerned...
Outstanding.
This is a very special performance by the master
GODLIKE
Love Jools Holland, former member of Squeeze, another great one for me.
I remember a few years ago, meeting these guys back stage. I felt like a rag-doll in a tumble dryer
Snorting as is sing! This song just makes me go wild!!
He looks like Miles Kane 💐💐💞😘
Fucking Outstanding that's how it's done all you yung pop people Boom!
Everyone here is FUCKING ON IT!
Wow. Immense. Whitey incredible. Amazing Hammond organ. Weller looks the business. Man, this is live rock and roll at its best.
The Master in his prime!
"Please welcome the master, Mr Paul Weller "
Most sensible thing he's ever said! 😏
brilliant...before all the shit kicked in again
The Master
is that cradock on organ?
A band Paul introduced to the world... OCS
great performance love the energy of it
Is that Carleen Anderson in the chorus ?
only top class
this is when later was worth watching
....this was when Weller was worth watching too. He doesn't inspire me much anymore, shame. Peace x
One day a 65 Epi Casino will be mine.......
It's a beautiful thing.
I foking love this...!!!
Paul Weller kicks ass
Paul...need you to come to California again!
What the hell is Jools Holland doing at the start of this?
Pretty much the same piano playing that's on the album recording
This song is best evahhh rofl
"cutting up the wood for the good of everyone...."
lol
Cheers Weller!
Steve Cradock on the organ!!
And Some Pillock on the piano!!
Carleen anderson...
4 people don't like this.
forgot all about this one...so happy to have found it;)
Great performance, Great band, Fun and talented back up singers.
Mr. Jools Holland on the piano!!!!!!!!!!
So good it can even survive Jools Holland's ego.
Moley nicely put!!!
ooh how handsome that lot are.awesome rifffs there
I remember this like it was yesterday! The guitar tones, Craddock on hammond, Whiteys thunderous drums! I even remember the backing singer (who if I really am as geeky as I think - was called Pamela Anderson - Carleens cousin) when she sang "Cut down the good for the good" at 4:02, realised it and starts laughing! Haha
