The Weaver Lyrics

Cover art for The Weaver lyrics by Paul Weller

Uhmmm...dig at Elton John....Errr...No.

This is the fact that your dreams get crushed and you spend your time hidden from the world trying to figure out what you're going to do and who you are.

Hide behind your wall and start to get to the very heart.

Like the aboriginal saying "He who has lost his dreaming is lost" - that is what this song is about. You need dreams to make you feel worthy and happy. If you don't have them then you feel like sh*te.

This is saying that the weaver of dreams will smash the shell you've crawled under, will break the depressed spell you're under and get you started with another plan (dream).

It's an uplifting song. Pure genius.

Errr...... Yes

Why the dig at Elton (“I put paid to the Rocket man”) in ‘The Weaver’? “I was just having fun. It was never really a dig at him, bless his cotton socks. “
