The Style CouncilThe Paris Match (Tracy Thorn Version)*Be sure to check out the original with Paul Weller singing!(My opinion is that both versions are great)-------------Black and white imagesWandering lives of different peopleI uploaded this for the song to be enjoyed!And hoped a few images with it might be tooRather than have just one picture throughout the whole songModels:Sasha PivovarovaBoyd HolbrookSnejana OnopkaJeremy DufourVincent LacrocqLyrics:Empty hoursSpent combing the streetIn daytime showersThey've become my beat;As I walk from cafe to barI wish I knew where you are;Because you've clouded my mindAnd now Im all out of timeEmpty skies say try to forgetBetter advice is to have no regrets;As I tread the boulevard floorWill I see once more;Because you've clouded my mindtill then I'm biding my timeI'm only sad in a natural wayAnd I enjoy sometimes feeling this wayThe gift you gave is desireThe match that started my fireEmpty nights with nothing to doI sit and think, every thought is for you;I get so restless and boredSo I go out once more;I hate to feel so confinedI feel like I'm wasting my time

Jun 4, 2008 - Never thought about it, but you're right. Ballsy call by Weller. Wish we had seen more of THe Jam and TSC in the States. A stunning talent no doubt.

Jul 29, 2008 - A rainy autumn afternoon in Paris...staring out the window...not a lot to do today.It's busy out there but in the musty apartment where my flatmates and I live it's quiet. I finally have the place to myself for a couple of hours. I make a fresh pot of Lavazza, light another cig and turn on bad, dubbed television.I fan through today's Herald Tribune, bought this morning along with 20 Marlboro and a litre of UHT milk.My student days of Paris back in the 80s. Nothing like it...

shollypop Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - melt is right! though I wish she'd break go en francais like paul did. god its such a wonderfully depressing nostalgic song. I want to be a match!

Sep 25, 2008 - Perfect match. Paul's sublime original and TT sounding so inconsolable.Both eminently listenable. Pretty sure I prefer both now.
bandypaul Says:

Oct 27, 2008 - This songs reminds me of my year abroad program in Bayswater,London in 1986; its melancholy and beautiful at the same time. It wss the happiest time of my life. Thank you Style Council and TT
nzkmdr Says:
Nov 7, 2008 - This song reminds me also of my year abroad in Copenhagen in 1987. I memorized every single word of this song, wanting to be like TT. How amazing voice she has.
RubyTwilite Says:
Nov 17, 2008 - A silky smooth voice in a cool mellow song, a brilliant combination.
DeepHauz Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - tracy thorn's voice is unmatchable.
