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.

Bbmaj7Ebmaj7 Luck fell in the right place for me Bbmaj7Eb/F The day you happened to come by. Bbmaj7Ebmaj7 You caught me feeling all was useless, Bbmaj7Eb/F And left me feeling ten feet high.
Dbmaj7Cm7 Now nothing again can be quite the same. Dbmaj7Fm7Eb/F You gather my fears, and threw them away.
Luck dropped in, just at the right time; The time when I felt most alone. All my dreams had seemed to vanish. Now my nightmares have upped and gone.
I'm not scared of farewells. Nothing's the same twice. I stride through the day, and float through the night.
Ebmaj7Dm7Gm7Ab/Bb How much choice do we have in this? Ebmaj7Dmaj7Gm7Ab/Bb Like some almighty hand, smashing your life into pieces, Cm7Dm7 One day you're washed and drowned Ebmaj7Eb/F And the next day you're put back on the land.
Bbmaj7Ebmaj7Bbmaj7Eb/F (x2)
Now nothing again can be quite the same. I gather my fears and I throw them away.
Bbmaj7Ebmaj7 Luck, when you hold me closely. Bbmaj7Eb Ooh, feels like summertime. Bbmaj7Ebmaj7 Luck, when you hold my hand. Bbmaj7Eb/F I want it all the time.
Luck, in your country kisses. Ooh, I love your outlook. Luck, in your hills and valleys. Go on talking, my babbling brook.
