All Around the World Lyrics
Oi!
All over the country
(We want a new direction)
I said all over this land
(We need a reaction)
Well there should be a youth explosion
(Inflate creation)
But something we can command
What's the point in saying destroy
I want a new life for everywhere
We want a direction
(All over the country)
I want a direction
(All over this land)
Because this is your last chance
You can't dismiss what is gone before
But there's foundations for us to explore
I said
All around the world I've been looking for new
Youth explosion!
A new direction
We want a reaction
Inflate creation
Looking for new!
All over the country
(We want a new direction)
I said all over this land
(We need a reaction)
Well there should be a youth explosion
(Inflate creation)
But something we can command
What's the point in saying destroy
I want a new life for everywhere
We want a direction
(All over the country)
I want a direction
(All over this land)
Because this is your last chance
You can't dismiss what is gone before
But there's foundations for us to explore
I said
All around the world I've been looking for new
Youth explosion!
A new direction
We want a reaction
Inflate creation
Looking for new!

Whenever I hear this song, I think about the past. Particularly San Francisco, 1969, Ciello Drive. What's the point in saying 'destroy', indeed
I read that this song was kind of Paul Weller's dismissal of the attitude of his Punk contemporaries. He thought that they were too destructive (what's the point in saying destroy) and forgot about the past (you can't dismiss what is gone before).
