Empty Ring - Paul Weller

Careful not to end a fight with no one

Still battling on when all your enemies are gone

Making you look dumb and stupid

In an empty ring

What would it matter to you

If the parts you always planned was right there in your hand

But no one there to see you land

In an empty ring

The taste of fear and fortune

The smell of toil and sweat

But if a crowd ain’t there to see it

It’s just another memory, just another memory

In an empty ring, empty ring

Words of wisdom fail you

In the time it takes to fall

But if a crowd ain’t there to see it

It’s just another memory, just another memory

In an empty ring, empty ring

With a world to listen to ya

Still rattling on when all the war is won

You just don’t know when to give up, do you?

In an empty ring, empty ring
