empty ring

paul weller

careful not to end up fighting no-one

still battling on

when all your enemies are gone

making you look dumb and stupid

in an empty ring

what would it matter to you?

if the parts you always planned

was right there in your hand

with no-one there to see land

in an empty ring

taste the fear of fortune

the smell of toil and sweat

with the crowd in there to see it

it's just another memory

just another memory

in an empty ring

words of wisdom fail you

and the time it takes to fall

with the crowd in there to see it

it's just another memory

just another memory

in an empty ring

with the world to listen to ya

still rattling on with oh
