Paul Weller - Empty Ring lyrics

Careful not to end up fighting 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 With no-one there to see land, in an empty ring Taste the fear of fortune The smell of toil and sweat With the crowd in there to see it It's just another memory, just another memory In an empty ring (empty ring) Words of wisdom fail you And the time it takes to fall With the crowd in there to see it It's just another memory, just another memory In an empty ring (empty ring) With the world to listen to ya Still rattling on with "oh, the war is won" You just don't know when to give up; do you? In an empty ring (empty ring).
