Lyrics Paul Weller

Paul Weller

Empty Ring

Careful not to end or fight no one

Still battling on when all your enemies are gone

Making you look dumb and stupid

The empty ring

What would it matter to you

If the pleasure always planned

Was right there in your hand

But no one there to see that

The empty ring

The taste of fear and fortune,

The smell of toil and sweat,

But if the crowd ain't there to see it

It's just another memory

It's just another memory

In an empty ring, empty ring

Words of wisdom fail you

The time it takes to fall

The crowd ain't there to see it

It's just another memory

Just another memory

In an empty ring, empty ring

With a world to listen to ya

Still rattling on when

All the war is won

You just don't know when to give up

You win, your the empty ring, empty ring
