Lyrics Paul Weller

Paul Weller

Pink on White Walls

The sun shone pink on white walls

And the trees stood so tall

Defiant, proud, loud against the sky

There's no sign, there's no plan

There ain't even a helping hand

Just the bitter tang of sweet virtue

Don't waste your time, don't hesitate

Oh life is but a moment, you can't wait

Go and have your fun, go and lose your mind

Can you get back to the ones you left behind?

The sun shone pink on white walls

And the trees stood so tall

Defiant, proud, loud against the sky

Yeah when it comes, it comes quick

When you're least expecting it

But the top's the bottom, the bottom is all you got

Don't waste your time, don't hesitate

Oh life is but a moment, you can't wait

Go and have your fun, yeah go and lose your mind

Can you get back to the ones you left behind?

And sun shone pink on my wall

And the trees stood so tall

Defiant, proud and loud against the sky

Yeah when it comes, it comes quick

When you're least expecting it

But the top's the bottom, the bottom is all you got

The sun shines pink on my wall

And the trees stand so tall

I'm empty now, funny how

Defiant, proud, loud against the sky
