Subject: CRD: "the whole point of no return" by "The Style Council"
This is another song of "the Style Council" which is one of my very
favourites of the band. The lyrics here are the original ones
as performed on their fist album "Cafe Bleu".
I arranged the song for myself referring to a beautifull live-tape
I recorded from the radio (Live in London, Albert Hall, spring '87).
So the orginal may differ a little bit, as the text of the live recording
is totally different...

Am7 Bm11/E
The Lords and Ladies pass a ruling.
Am7 Bm11/E
The sons and girls go hand in hand,
Am7 Bm11/E
From good stock and the best breeding,
Am7 E9
Paid for by the servile class,
Cmaj7 D
Who have been told, or lie in state
Bm7 E9
To bow down forth and face their fate.
Cmaj7 D
Oh it's so easy. Oh, so easy.
Am7 Bm11/E Am7 Bm11/E
Am7 Bm11/E
All righteousness they build thy arrow,
Am7 Bm11/E
To shoot it straight into their lies.
Am7 Bm11/E
Who would expect the might sparrow
Am7 E9
Could rid the world of all their kind?
Cmaj7 D
Rising up and taking back
Bm7 E9
The property of ev'ry man.
Cmaj7 D
It's so easy. Oh, so easy.
Am7 Bm11/E Am7 Bm11/E
Cmaj7 D
Rising up to break this thing.
Bm7
From family trees the dukes do swing.
Cmaj7 D
Just one blow to scratch the itch.
Bm7 E9
The law's made for 'em by the rich.
Cmaj7 D
It would be easy. So, so easy.
Am7 Bm11/E Am7 Bm11/E
Hope you enjoy this... Juergen
