Duo pionero del acid jazz, formado en 1983 por Paul Weller (ex lider de The Jam) y Mick Talbot (procedente de Merton Parkas). En 1984 entró en la banda el bateria Steve White y posteriormente se incorporo a la banda la cantante Dee C. Lee, colaboradora de Wham! y por entonces esposa de Weller.
Su mayor exito es el album Our Favourite Shop de 1985, donde bajo una superficie de ritmos jazzy, pop al estilo Burt Bacharach y bossa nova se esconden dirísimas críticas a Margaret Thacher, a la sazón primera ministra británica.

BOY WHO CRIED WOLF The Style Council
This is a song from the second album "Our Favourite Shop" of The Style Council. I already worked out the chords a few years ago, but maybe someone is interested in, although it is a quiet old one, and The Style Council doesn't exist anymore.
INTRO
Hm7Hm6G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79
Hm7Hm6 As the rain comes down, upon this sad sweet earth
G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 I lie awake at night and - think about me
Hm7Hm6 All those usual things, like what a fool I've been
G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 Hm7Hm6F#(#5)7 F#79 I curse the awfull way - that I let you slip away.
Hm7Hm6 For what was forged in love, is now cooling down
G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 With only myself to blame for playing that stupid game
Hm7Hm6 I thought I need only call and you would run
G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 But that day you never showed honey - Well I sure learned.
G^7 D^7 That it seemes I need you more each day
G^7 D^7 Heaven knows why that it goes that way,
Hm7Hm6 Now it's far too late - and I lost this time,
G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 Hm7G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 Hm7 Like a Boy who cried wolf, like a boy who cried wolf.
G^7 D^7 And yes I know it's far too late
G^7 D^7 To ever win you back
G^7 D^7 No tale of nightmare's at my gate
C^7 G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 Hm7 Could make you turn, my lost concern.
Hm7Hm6 And now the night falls down, upon my selfish soul
G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 I sit alone and wonder, where did I go wrong?
Hm7Hm6 It always worked before you kept the wolf from my door
G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 But one day you never showed honey, now I'm not so sure
G^7 D^7 That it seems I need you more each day
G^7 D^7 Heaven knows why that it goes that way,
Hm7Hm6 Now it's far too late, and I've lost this time
G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 Hm7G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 Hm7 Like a Boy who cried wolf, like a boy who cried wolf.
