The Style Council were an English musical group formed in 1983 by ex-The Jam singer and guitarist Paul Weller with keyboardist Mick Talbot. The permanent lineup grew to include drummer Steve White and Weller's then-wife, vocalist Dee C. Lee. Other artists such as Tracie Young and Tracey Thorn (Everything but the Girl) also collaborated with the group.
The band showed a diversity of musical styles. Singles "Speak Like a Child" (with its loud soul-influenced style)

BbCmD#DmBb I didn't stop to think about the consequences as it came to pieces in my hands...

(And that repeats for the rest of the song!)
I thought I was a maritime marvel, I believed that I ruled the waves. All I could say is time is motion, And every effort others made I would save... I was a shit stained statue, School children would stand in awe... Truly believed I was a ceiling of sky, Never thought about having flaws.
I felt as reverent as Jesus, The sanctimony stunk... I thought I was admiral of the missing fleet, I couldn't see that I was sunk.
I roared my pride in the darkness, I scratched away at the stars... I thought I was lord of this crappy jungle, I should have been put behind bars...
But now I sit with my head in my hands, And wail to the weeping wall. The avalanche of my emotions, Holds the audience of one enthralled...
Like learning the lesson the hard way, Like a fall from command... I thought I as king of the whole wide world... But it just came to pieces in my hands...
