Style Council, The - Why I Went Missing Lyrics






I don't know why, I went missing
It could have been the call of night
It could have been a change of mind.
I don't know why, I went missing
And though lost I found myself
Where I had been all the time.

When the clock chimes I shall be gone
But judge not the action but what went wrong
I'm no saint but I'm no sinner
That's one of the reasons why, I went missing.

Took me off to somewhere nice
a night at half bored in paradise.

There's plenty more I could have kissed
And those who wanted it - I could of resist
But I blamed myself for this out of town kissing
I made up an excuse of why I went missing.

But truth as in fiction is sometimes strained
And love and contradiction have a part to play
I once blamed myself now I blame you
Why I went missing is a fictional truth.

Style Council, The Why I Went Missing Comments
  1. C.... W....

    Gutless and pretentious.

    C.... W....

    Chastity Whore utter class ...

  2. t.... c....

    Claasic

  3. J.... H....

    A good track but it was the begining of the end for this shite line up:-(

    J.... H....

    Well tee cee how long did it take the TSC to disband?

    J.... H....

    TSC never had what the The Jam did and hes never had it since .
    Everything has it's time
    Turn turn turn

  4. �.... ....

    LIVISE 501

  5. A.... C....

    Superb - perfect all the way.

  6. P.... S....

    Think I’m fucking missing something, it’s has something!!!

  7. k.... ....

    Yuppie Dogshit. If Weller didn't vote for Thatcher, then who did?

    k.... ....

    The deluded, me me society, inverted snobs, those that still think that they can get a piece of the pie & of course those with a vested interest

  8. C.... L....

    I never understood the term 'Velvet Fog' until I heard Paul's voice!

    C.... L....

    Velvet Fog is Mel Torme. Look him up here. Sounds nothing like Weller.

    C.... L....

    @kiloscott Yes, I know.
    & for the less keen in the audience, I'll repeat myself w/the implication spelled out... "I never understood the term 'Velvet Fog' (esp as it pertains/ed to Mel Torme) until I heard Paul's voice."

    C.... L....

    @Cherokee Lair Keep spelling it out, fuckhead.

  9. G.... 6....

    Dog shit was lucky 2 pull it all back , Glad he did

  10. j.... m....

    Paul really looks like his sister in this,check it out!

    j.... m....

    Haha... I remember selling progs with Nicki and Vaughan outside the venues when he looked like this.

  11. N.... C....

    How on earth did this manage to escape me all these years? Such an underrated gem, up there with all the massive and already-classic hits. Brilliant vocals that lifted the song to great heights. Beautiful as usual.

    N.... C....

    It's a classic TSC tune..... disappointing it didn't get more exposure

    N.... C....

    And a lovely guitar solo too

    N.... C....

    Nigel if this manages to escape you then I highly recommend you get "Confessions of a Pop Group" from which this song comes, the entire album is a gem

  12. e.... q....

    wheres dee c lee in this video..... but her voice is lovely in this

    e.... q....

    She was heavy with Natt Weller at the time. She's only on the album cover by being strategically hidden behind Mick's piano.

  13. J.... H....

    One of my favourite albums of all time mate!

    J.... H....

    We.must be bruvvers from another mother 😉

  14. k.... ....

    Classic Weller.

  15. D.... S....

    I'm renewing my love affair with Paul Weller ! ! !

  16. R.... N....

    from here on its normal to fall hard

  17. R.... N....

    OMG this is really the peak of decadence😬

  18. W.... ....

    Was Dee C too "with child" for the vid?

    W.... ....

    I was wondering the same. I hear her but she is nowhere to be seen.

  19. C.... ....

    1:07 acknowledging this is ridiculous to lip sync with so many people on stage lol

    C.... ....

    Many TV studios at that time were not equipped to do anything else.

  20. E.... M....

    Mr. Weller supo ver en un milisegundo la estrella que tenía Amy Winehouse en su voz, su persona y su forma de hacer las cosas, cuando aún era élla.

    E.... M....

    Diu conoces el nombre de la otra chica del coro???

  21. K.... L....

    nice tune. another underrated Style Council song from around the time the critical backlash against them started

    K.... L....

    Komo Lee Ray wot backlash? stylagi rips the.........

    K.... L....

    and 1 more thing. I'm not missing !!!!

    K.... L....

    Yes, a slight improvement from the terrible and tuneless "Cost of Loving" LP. Critical backlash was deserved so if you ask me. Best thing to happen to Weller was for Polydor to drop him after releasing this dross!

    K.... L....

    There were plenty of good reasons for the "backlash"

    K.... L....

    When you transition from counter culture rage to multicultural soul crooning, your bound to have detractors. Personal preferences have no objectivity. Personally, I liked every stage of their progression

  22. t.... ....

    These white cats are oozing with soul! I knew they were fire but, now, listening to the songs I never heard from them, my goodness, man ...Simply FIREEE!!!

    t.... ....

    Soul is Universal. That having been said, anything and everything that Paul touches is infused with soul. Even when he is rocking out, you can feel the soul in his guitar playing and in his voice. He is just as important as The Beatles, and his eponymous solo album is a Soul/R and B classic! Someday I will own his total collection of albums from all 3 phases of his career! #WellerRules
