From: Juergen Helmers 
Subject: CRD: "the whole point of no return" by "The Style Council"

This is another song of "the Style Council" which is one of my very
favourites of the band. The lyrics here are the original ones
as performed on their fist album "Cafe Bleu".
I arranged the song for myself referring to a beautifull live-tape
I recorded from the radio (Live in London, Albert Hall, spring '87).
So the orginal may differ a little bit, as the text of the live recording
is totally different...

  Am7                               Bm11/E

	The Lords and Ladies pass a ruling.
  Am7                                 Bm11/E
	The sons and girls go hand in hand,
  Am7                                Bm11/E
	From good stock and the best breeding,
  Am7                           E9
	Paid for by the servile class,
  Cmaj7                        D
	Who have been told, or lie in state
	   Bm7                E9
	To bow down forth and face their fate.
	   Cmaj7          D
	Oh it's so easy.  Oh, so easy.


Am7 Bm11/E Am7 Bm11/E


  Am7                                    Bm11/E
	All righteousness they build thy arrow,
  Am7                                   Bm11/E
	To shoot it straight into their lies.
  Am7                              Bm11/E
	Who would expect the might sparrow
  Am7                                    E9
	Could rid the world of all their kind?

	Cmaj7         D
	Rising up and taking back
	    Bm7         E9
	The property of ev'ry man.
	Cmaj7          D
	It's so easy.  Oh, so easy.


Am7 Bm11/E Am7 Bm11/E


	Cmaj7        D
	Rising up to break this thing.
	     Bm7
	From family trees the dukes do swing.
	Cmaj7            D
	Just one blow to scratch the itch.
	    Bm7                E9
	The law's made for 'em by the rich.
	   Cmaj7           D
	It would be easy.  So, so easy.


Am7 Bm11/E Am7 Bm11/E
