away from the numbers

• the jam şarkısı.
  
  things are getting just too cozy for me
  i now see people as they see me
  gonna break away and gain control
  you free your mind
  you free your soul
  i was the type who knocked at old men (history's easy)
  who together at tables sit and drink beer (somewhere is really)
  then i saw that i was really the same
  so this link's breaking away from the chain
  
  away from the numbers
  away from the numbers
  is where i'm gonna be
  away from the numbers
  away from the numbers
  is where i am free
  
  away from the numbers
  away from the numbers
  is where i'm gonna be
  
  i was sick and tired of my little niche
  i'm gonna break away and find where life is
  
  and all those fools i thought were my friends (coaching is easy)
  they now stare at me and don't see a thing (reality's so hard)
  till their life is over and they start to moan
  how they never had the chance to make good
  
  away from the numbers
  away from the numbers
  is where i'm gonna be
  away from the numbers
  away from the numbers
  is where i am free
  is where i am free
  is where i'm gonna be
  it's reality
  
  reality's so hard, reality's so hard, reality's so hard
  reality's so hard, reality's so hard, reality's so hard
• in the city'de yer alan, yabancılaşma üzerine bir the jam kaydı. paul weller'ın "reality's so hard" diye defalarca tekrar etmesiyle sona eren parça.
  
  [mod jargonunda "numbers" ifadesinin üzerinde büyük rakamların basılı olduğu gösterişli t-shirtler giyen gençler anlamına geldiği biliniyor; dolayısıyla paul weller'ın da bunlardan mümkün olduğunca uzakta durmak istediği net bir biçimde anlaşılıyor..]
