Subject: CRD: «the whole point of no return» by «The Style Council»
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.

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,
Cmaj7 D
Who have been told, or lie in state
bm7
To bow down forth and face their fate.
Cmaj7 D
Oh it’s so easy. Oh, so easy.

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?
Cmaj7 D
Rising up and taking back
bm7
The property of ev’ry man.
Cmaj7 D
It’s so easy. Oh, so easy.

Cmaj7 D
Rising up to break this thing.

From family trees the dukes do swing.
Cmaj7 D
Just one blow to scratch the itch.

The law’s made for ’em by the rich.
Cmaj7 D
It would be easy. So, so easy.
