| Is this song a tribute to the working class of England, or an indictment of it? Or both at the same time? More anger from Paul Weller. Genius. | |

| I don't think it is an indictment - after all it's where he came from and that's what made him who he is today. | |

| It's just an observation of working class or should I say Unemployed class of Britain at that time. Paul grew up in Stanley Road, Woking Surrey, an affluent southern town in the Stock Broker belt of Surrey. His house on Stanley Road has long been demolished. Although it was not a in a large council estate it was in the center of the city and Paul had to travel through the huge council estate of Sheerwater every day to his school Sheerwater Comprehensive. Because many of the affluent kids in Woking attended Private Schools Pauls Childhood was spent amongst 'Saturdays Kids'. 1 | |
