Lyrics Paul Weller – Porcelain Gods

Beware false prophets — take a stand!
My fortune cookie cracked up in my hand
More advice to fill up your head
More empty words from the livind dead

And how disappointed I was
To turn out after all
Just a porcelain God — that shatters when it falls

Too much will kill you — too little ain’t enough
You shout my name but I’ll call your bluff
Most who see me — see me not for real
We fake and fawn — play games ’til dawn
But I could see what you can see
And I hate too what you hate in me

And how disappointed I was
To turn out after all
Just a porcelain God — that shatters when it falls

I shake it off and start again
«Don’t lose control» — I tell myself
Life can take many things away
Some people will try — and take it all
They’ll pick off pieces as they watch you crawl

And how disappointed I was
To turn out after all
Just a porcelain God — that shatters when it falls
That shatters when it falls
