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.

Dsus2 It's either something in their eyes, Bm9 Or something in the drink Gmaj7G/A But whatever it is they both stop and think Dsus2Bm9 There's no going back and nothing above Gmaj7AF#/A# It's lust and loneliness but never love.
Gmaj7Dmaj7 She takes a breath as he takes his keys F#m7dim5 Gmaj7F#m7 First name terms is the extent of it Em9D6 There's no getting out as they're going in Gmaj7AF#/A# But by tomorrow they both will begin
BmBm/A To regret and renege on a bond they have struck Gmaj7AF#/A# A small price to pay and casual luck BmBm/A Some lose nothing, some lose a lot Gmaj7BmBm/AA6 But whatever we have is all we have got.

Dsus2Bm9 He takes her hand and leads to the room Gmaj7G/A In half light and silence for their clothes to remove Dsus2Bm9 There's doubt in her mind but hope in her heart Gmaj7AF#/A# That this last one of many may be the start.
Gmaj7Dmaj7 So they wriggle and writhe for an hour or two F#m7dim5 Gmaj7F#m7 But time has no place when two are consumed. Em9D6 They moan and they gasp but they don't really speak Gmaj7AF#/A# As no conversation could fit this scene.
Dsus2Bm9 And tomorrow as always, always comes Gmaj7G/A As she slips away, He still dumb Dsus2Bm9 He felt the urge just as she felt the need Gmaj7AF#/A# Now the need to get out, still carrying his seed,
Gmaj7Dmaj7 Which trickles down her leg and onto her shoe F#m7dim5 Gmaj7F#m7 Onto the pavement and then out of view Em9D6 Into the gutter and down into a drain Gmaj7A6F#7/A# Joining a river and there to remain
BmBm/A There's no going back and there's nothing above Gmaj7A6F#7/A# It's lust or loneliness that drives us alone

Gm6A6D It's lust and loneliness, but it's seldom love.
