Tales from the Riverbank Lyrics


Bring you a tale from the pastel fields
Where we ran when we were young
This is a tale from the water meadows
Trying to spread some hope into your heartIts mixed with happiness, its mixed with tears
Both life and death are carried in this stream
That open space you could run for miles
Now you dont get so many to the poundTrue its a dream mixed with nostalgia
But its a dream that Ill always hang on to
That I always run to
Wont you join me by the riverbankParadise found down by the still waters
Joined in the race to the rainbows end
No fears, no worries just a golden country
Woke at sunrise, went home at sunsetNow life is so critical
Life is too cynical
We lose our innocence
We lose our very soulTrue its a dream mixed with nostalgia
But its a dream that Ill always hang on to
That I always run toTrue its a dream mixed with nostalgia

But its a dream that Ill always hang on to
That I always run to
Wont you join me by the riverbank
Come on and join me by the riverbank

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Jam was a punk/mod revival group formed in Woking, England in 1972 consisting of Paul Weller (vocals, guitar), Bruce Foxton (bass, vocals) and Rick Buckler (drums). The band split in 1982. The band released six albums and had 18 consecutive Top 40 hits in the United Kingdom between 1977 and 1982, including four #1 singles (Going Underground, Start!, Town Called Malice and Beat Surrender). Their singles "That's Entertainment" and "Just Who Is the Five O'Clock Hero" are the best selling import singles in UK history.

The band drew upon a variety of stylistic influences over the course of their career, including 1960s beat music, soul, rhythm and blues and psychedelic rock, as well as 1970s punk and new wave. The trio was known for its melodic pop songs, its distinctly English flavour and its mod image. The band launched the career of Paul Weller, who went on to form The Style Council and later had a successful solo career. Weller wrote and sang most of The Jam’s original compositions, and he played lead guitar, using a Rickenbacker. Bruce Foxton provided backing vocals and prominent basslines, which were the foundation of many of the band’s songs, including the hits "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight", "The Eton Rifles", "Going Underground" and "Town Called Malice".
