| The Jam – The Butterfly Collector Lyrics

This is a trenchant and articulate song, no question. However, I'd disagree with the comments about The Bitterest Pill, which is also a very good song in its way. It reflects a less hard-hitting, more sentimental (but no less authentic and real) side of Weller's song-writing of the time (which was present even on their first album). TBC is a better song imo, but The Bitterest Pill expresses less 'cool' feelings in a very honest, direct way. In this phase of his song-writing, Weller was just about incapable of writing a bad song. |

| The Style Council – A Solid Bond In Your Heart Lyrics
| 9 years ago
|
This is such a great song: idealism and the attendant need for communication in a tight, powerful harnessed song that is pure power pop. You can just feel the irresistible creative burst from a genius.
Along with Morrissey, this (the Weller of The Jam and early Style Council) is the best songwriter of the twentieth century imho. |
