Out of the Sinking
Paul Weller Lyrics
Past midnight's hold, the world's awaiting
I'll wait for your love, but I close my eyes
As there's pain, too in paradise
Dear brothers
Hey baby say, that's what you're thinking
Know, I know it
Yea, feel I'm sinkin', know I feel it
I know you feel it too
Across the water, there's a boat that
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It is shining for me
All I needed to be
But I can't find the key
But to make me believe
Late at night, the world is dreaming
Way past the stars, and ignore our fate
All twinkle too late to save us
Save ourselves
Hey baby do just what you're thinking
Know, I know it, yea, if I'm sinking
Know I feel it, I know you feel it too
Across the water, there's a boat that
Will take us away
Out of the sadness
Far from the madness
Into sunlight, out of the sinkin'
Know I feel it, I know you're feelin' too
Across the water, there's a boat that
Will take us away
There we will stay
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey
I can't find the key

Paul Weller (born 25 May 1958) is an English singer / songwriter, leader of two successful bands: The Jam and The Style Council. In England, he is recognised as something of a national institution yet, because much of his songwriting is rooted in English culture, he has remained essentially a national rather than an international star.

Weller's eleventh studio album, Sonik Kicks, was released on 19 March 2012. The Green Songfacts reports that it was recorded in Wellerโs own Black Barn Studios in Ripley, Surrey, with co-producer Simon Dine and engineer Charles Rees.
Born John William Weller in Stanley Road, Woking, he was also a central figure in the Mod revival. As the leader of the Jam, Paul Weller fronted the most popular British band of the punk era, influencing legions of English rockers that ranged from his mod-revival contemporaries to the Smiths in the '80s and Oasis in the '90s. During the final days of the Jam, he developed a fascination with Motown and soul, which led him to form the sophisti-pop group the Style Council in 1983. As the Style Council's career progressed, Weller's interest in soul developed into an infatuation with jazz-pop and house music, which eventually led to gradual erosion of his audience โ by 1990, he couldn't get a record contract in the UK, where he had previously been worshipped as a demi-god. As a solo artist, Weller returned to soul music as an inspiration, cutting it with the progressive, hippie tendencies of Traffic. Weller's solo records were more organic and rootsier than the Style Council, which helped him regain his popularity within Britain. By the mid-'90s, he had released three successful albums which were both critically-acclaimed and massively popular in England, where contemporary bands like Ocean Colour Scene were citing him as an influence. Just as importantly, many observers, while occasionally criticizing the trad-rock nature of his music, acknowledged that Weller was one of the few rock veterans that had managed to stay vital within the second decade of his career.

Late at night
When the world is dreaming
Way past the stars
That ignore our fate & all twinkle too late to save us
So we save ourselves
Hey baby say - just what youโre thinking
Know I know it - yeh, feel Iโm sinking
Know I feel it - I know you feel it too
Across the water, thereโs a boat that
Will take us away
Far from the madness - out of the sadness
Into sunlight - out of the sinking
You know I feel it
I know you it too
Across the water, thereโs a boat that will take us away
And there we will stay
