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.

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... ______________________________________________________________________
The whole point of no return - the Style Council (P. Weller)
Repeat, and use this with few modifications for the whole song.
Am7Bm11/E
The Lords and Ladies pass a ruling. Am7Bm11/E The sons and girls go hand in hand, Am7Bm11/E From good stock and the best breeding, Am7E9 Paid for by the servile class, Cmaj7D Who have been told, or lie in state Bm7E9 To bow down forth and face their fate. Cmaj7D Oh it's so easy. Oh, so easy.
Am7Bm11/EAm7Bm11/E
Am7Bm11/E All righteousness they build thy arrow, Am7Bm11/E To shoot it straight into their lies. Am7Bm11/E Who would expect the might sparrow Am7E9 Could rid the world of all their kind?
Cmaj7D Rising up and taking back Bm7E9 The property of ev'ry man. Cmaj7D It's so easy. Oh, so easy.
Am7Bm11/EAm7Bm11/E
Cmaj7D Rising up to break this thing. Bm7 From family trees the dukes do swing. Cmaj7D Just one blow to scratch the itch. Bm7E9 The law's made for 'em by the rich. Cmaj7D It would be easy. So, so easy.
