I completely agree with hihoricherino. This is a masterclass in song writing and a lot of bands would do well to look to Weller for inspiration. An excellent song.

I think this song is about waking up out of an introverted, shy-like shell to more thoroughly engage the world around us and the people in it. It's a great message for any kid in school who feels intimidated by the illusion of an unengagable world, or the lonely heart who is too shy to grab life by the horns and take the girl of his dreams into his arms. Simple, to the point, and certainly no hit.. this is the Jam at their finest.
