Lyrics Paul Weller

Paul Weller

Bring Back the Funk

Once upon a time

There was a time, there was

When the brightest half of the sky

Let us know we were loved

And there was a feeling old and gold

And bold

And beautiful

Something noble, something lost

Safe yet curious

When you bring back the funk y'all

Slip up and slide

When you bring back the funk y'all

With no place left to hide

No place left to hide

When not only the wind in our sails

Some magic too

Sometimes we forget

Just how high the moon

It was something bright and fine

And in time

Became the world

It would shed stars and bars

All kinds of hearts

Were together again

When you bring back the funk y'all

Slip up and slide

When you bring back the funk y'all

With no place left to hide

When you bring back the funk y'all

Slip up and slide

When you bring back the funk y'all

With no place left to hide

No place left to hide

When you learn to speak

Whenever you want or need

When you learn to cry

When it passes you by

It is something, something to me now

It is something, something to me now

Give me something, something to me now

Once upon a dream

In the midnight hour

There was nothing like scene

And we thank the crowd

Now its a feeling tame and small

And though it all

I'll look for word

Just one more night exists

Just what if

We dream't for all

When you bring back the funk y'all

Slip up and slide

When you bring back the funk y'all

With no place left to hide

When you bring back the funk y'all

Get up and slide

When you bring back the funk y'all

With no place left to hide

When you bring back the funk y'all

Get up and slide

When you bring back the funk y'all

There'll be no place left to hide

When you bring back the funk y'all

When you bring back the funk y'all

When you bring back the love y'all

When you bring back the love y'all

When you bring back the funk y'all

When you bring back the love y'all

When you bring back the funk y'all
