Paul Weller - Down In The Tubestation At Midnight

only the man can sing them songs, i tried and had to spend six weeks in the paul weller victims of bastardising his songs ward. not nice

[greg16266]

your real name is not Russell Hastings is it? Ha Ha ;-)

No offence intended there pal but you're exactly right... even the jam tribute album fire and skill wasn't anything special, no-one sings 'em like he does... he wrote 'em, the lyrics came from his soul and belief in what he wrote so it's never gonna be easy for anyone. Paul's covered other artists songs and actually improved on the originals, particularly with songs like Don't Let Me Down and I'd Rather Go Blind... whadya reckon?

Would prefer the guvna singin it

[greg16266]

Me too buddy but I think this is as good as it's ever going to get for this song... we should think ourselves lucky that we've had old tunes like the eton rifles etc played at gigs considering how he feels about all that early stuff.

why doesnt paul weller actually sing the song instead of having this jagoff ruin it with his queer voice

[adyshakes]

this is a classic song but why a vocalist with no vocal talent and does not know all the words and cannot keep to time is allowed on stage astounds me. I can only assume he was pist.I had a MCP staff pass and thankfully a rare Outlaw Promotions pass and heared this so many times always brill. Even the sound check was better than this. Sorry Paul - Taff from South Wales says hello

Paul Weller too embarrassed to sing his songs cause he's old now or what?

[dinnnnnga]

reminds me of sid vicous

I bought this as a reissue in mid 80s at about 12 years old. I went around my step grandads house with it not long after my gran had died and was gutted at the time I wasnt allowed to go the funeral. My step grandad like it. Anyway, shame Weller wasnt doing lead vocals on this.
