The Whole Point

This is another song of "the Style Council" which is one of my very

favourites of the band. The lyrics here are the original ones

as performed on their fist album "Cafe Bleu".

I arranged the song for myself referring to a beautifull live-tape

I recorded from the radio (Live in London, Albert Hall, spring '87).

So the orginal may differ a little bit, as the text of the live recording

is totally different...

The Lords and Ladies pass a ruling.

am7 bm7

The sons and girls go hand in hand,

am7 bm7

From good stock and the best breeding,

am7 Gmaj7

Paid for by the servile class,

Who have been told, or lie in state

bm7

To bow down forth and face their fate.

Oh it's so easy. Oh, so easy.

am7 bm7 am7 bm7

am7 bm7

All righteousness they build thy arrow,

am7 bm7

To shoot it straight into their lies.

am7 bm7

Who would expect the might sparrow

am7 Gmaj7

Could rid the world of all their kind?

Rising up and taking back

bm7

The property of ev'ry man.

It's so easy. Oh, so easy.

am7 bm7 am7 bm7

Rising up to break this thing.

bm7

From family trees the dukes do swing.

Just one blow to scratch the itch.

bm7

The law's made for 'em by the rich.

It would be easy. So, so easy.

Hope you enjoy this... Juergen
