About Precious

"Precious" was a song composed by Paul Weller and performed by the British band the Jam. It appears on the Jam's 1982 album The Gift and also as a double A-Side single along with "Town Called Malice". It reached number one in the UK Singles Chart, although the song received much less airplay than "Town Called Malice". It was a departure for the band from their punk and mod roots, involving a funk-like sound that the band had not previously explored. Some fans and critics have noticed the song contains a number of similarities to "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag", which was a relatively new release itself at the time. Weller himself was to admit in 1998 he had indeed used this song as part of the inspiration for Precious. more »

Your precious love, that means so much
Will it ever stop or will I just lose touch
What I want to say, but my words just fail
Is that I need it so I can't help myself
Like a hungry child, I just help myself
And when I'm all full up, I go out to play

But I don't mean to bleed you dry
Or take you over for the rest of your life
It's just that I need something solid in mine

Lonely as the moors on a winter's morning
Quiet as the sea on a good calm night
In your tranquil shadow, I try and follow

I hear your distant show clicks
To the midnight beat 
I feel trapped in sorrow
In this imagery
But that's how I am and why I need you so

The Jam

The Jam were an English punk rock/New Wave/mod revival band active during the late 1970s and early 1980s. They were formed in Woking, Surrey. While they shared the "angry young men" outlook and fast tempos of their punk rock contemporaries, The Jam wore smartly tailored suits rather than ripped clothes, and they incorporated a number of mainstream 1960s rock and R&B influences rather than rejecting them, placing The Jam at the forefront of the mod revival movement. more »
