Depois de ter terminado com o The Jam, um dos maiores sucessos da música inglesa, Paul Weller resolve mudar o rumo de sua carreira artística, isso por volta de 1982. Weller resolve trabalhar com sons mais ligados ao soul, ao jazz, e à música negra americana, coisas que ele achava que não cabiam em uma perfomance de uma banda punk. Por isso, em 1983, junto com o tecladista Mick Talbot, também saído de outra banda mod, a The Merton Parkas, cria o Style Council.

AF#m Maybe that's why you speak like a child; AF#m The things you're saying like "I'm so free and so wild" BmF#m And I believe it when you look in my eyes; BmF#m You offer me a life that never lies FE Least only the kind to make me smile
AF#m Your clothes are clean and your mind is productive AF#m It shops in store where only the best buy AF#m You're cool and hard, and if I sound like a lecher AF#m It's probably true, but at least there's no lecture
