I often think that of Noel gallagher. Whether people like Noel or not they can't deny how worldly wise he is even in his mid to late 20s. Paul is more political though Noel songs about life and how things are, still political but not directly if u catch my drift

@paulanthony5274 I love Noel Gallagher, fab songwriter, but I do think though that Paul Weller just pips him to the post lyrically. Weller wrote such clever, observational songs at a very young age, he was/is so aware of the world around him. As you say, Paul more political, can't knock Noel though, I just rate Paul a bit more.

Well done for including the pictures of all the Old Etonians. 7% of the British population are privately educated but they dominate politics, media and businesses. The 93% never stand a chance because the odds are stacked against them so heavily. People are brainwashed by newspapers that are owned by the 7% that only the 7% can lead them. Paul Weller was trying to teach people about these leaches way back in the eighties but nothing has changed, we have yet another Etonian in number 10. Why? Why do more prime ministers come from Etonian than all the state schools put together? This song came out just as I was starting my working life, I am now coming to the end of my working life and the Etonians and the rest of the 7% have had the easy privileged life while my 93% have struggled.

@@timbayliss4153 Well, he told a load of bolox. It's primarily about the public school system (eton being pre eminent) that produces our "elders and betters". The lyric DOES reference a fight between local school kids and Eton pupils in which the working class lads came off worse but only as a device to hang the whole idea of the song on to.
