1.Beat Surrender
Lyricist:Paul John Weller
Beat surrender
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
All the things that I care about
Are packed into one punch
All the things that I'm not sure about
Are sorted out at once
And as it was in the beginning
So shall it be in the end
That bullshit is bullshit
It just goes by different names
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
All the things that I shout about
But never act upon
All the courage and the dreams that I have
But seem to wait so long
My doubt is cast aside
Watch phonies run to hide
The dignified don't even enter in the game
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
If you feel there's no passion
No quality sensation
Seize the young determination
Show the fakers you ain't foolin'
You'll see me come runnin'
To the sound of your strummin'
Fill my heart with joy and gladness
I've lived too long in the shadows of sadness
My doubt is cast aside
Watch phonies run to hide
The dignified don't even enter in the game
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender

2.Strange Town
Lyricist:Paul John Weller
Found myself in a strange town
Though I've only been here for three weeks now
I've got blisters on my feet
Trying find a friend in Oxford Street
I bought an A to Z guide book
Trying to find the clubs and YMCA's
But when you ask in a strange town
They say don't know, don't care
And I've got to go, mate
They worry themselves about feeling low
They worry themselves about the dreadful snow
They all ignore me 'cause they don't know
I'm really a spaceman from those UFO's
You've got to move in a straight line
You've got to walk and talk in four four time
You can't be weird in a strange town
You'll be betrayed by your accent and manners
You've got to wear the right clothes
Be careful not to pick or scratch your nose
You can't be nice in a strange town
'Cause we don't know, don't care
And we got to go, man
Rush my money to the record shops
I stop off in a back street buy myself a snort
We got our own manifesto be kind to queers
And I'm so glad the revolution's here
It's nice and warm now
I've finished with clubs where the music's loud
'Cause I don't see a face in a single crowd
There's no one there
I look in the mirror but I can't be seen
Just a thin, clean layer of Mister Sheen
Looking back at me
Oh, oh
Found myself in a strange town
Though I've only been here for three weeks now
I've got blisters on my feet
Trying find a friend in Oxford Street
I bought an A to Z guide book
Trying to find the clubs and YMCA's
When you ask in a strange town
They say don't know, don't care
And I've got to go, mate
They worry themselves about feeling low
They worry themselves about the dreadful snow
They all ignore me 'cause they don't know
I'm really a spaceman from those UFO's
Strange town
Strange town
Break it up, break it up
Break it up, break it up
Break it up, break it up
Break it up, break it up
Break it up, break it up
Burn it down, shake it up
Break it up, break it up
3.The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had to Swallow)
Lyricist:Paul John Weller
In your white lace
And your wedding bells
You look the picture
Of contented new wealth
But from the on-looking fool
Who believed your lies
I wish this grave would open up
And swallow me alive
For the bitterest pill
Is hard to swallow
The love I gave hangs
In sad colored, mocking shadows
When the wheel of fortune broke
You fell to me
Out of gray skies
To change my misery
The vacant spot
Your beating heart took its place
But now I watch smoke
Leave my lips and fill an empty room
For the bitterest pill
Is hard to swallow
The love I gave hangs
In sad colored, mocking shadows
The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years
I couldn't feel any more hate
The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years
I couldn't feel any more hate
Now autumn's breeze blows
Summer's leaves through my life
Twisted and broken dawn
No days with sunlight
The dying spark
You left your mark on me
The promise of your kiss
But with someone else
For the bitterest pill
Is mine to swallow
The love I gave hangs
In sad colored, mocking shadows
The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years
I couldn't feel anymore ill
The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years
I couldn't feel anymore ill
The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years
I couldn't feel anymore ill
The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years
I couldn't feel anymore ill
