The Style Council were an English band, formed in Woking in 1983 by Paul Weller, the former singer and guitarist with The Jam, and keyboardist Mick Talbot, previously a member of Dexys Midnight Runners and The Merton Parkas. The permanent line-up grew to include drummer Steve White and Weller’s then-wife, vocalist Dee C. Lee. Other artists such as Tracie Young and Tracey Thorn (Everything but the Girl) also collaborated with the group. As with Weller’s previous band, most of this London based outfit’s hits were in their homeland, although the band did score six top 40 hits in Australia, and seven top 40 hits in New Zealand.
“The Lodgers” also known by the full title “The Lodgers (Or She Was Only a Shopkeeper’s Daughter)” is a song by the English band the Style Council, which was their eleventh single to be released. It was composed by lead singer Paul Weller and keyboardist Mick Talbot, and was released in 1985. It is the third single from the band’s second album, Our Favourite Shop (1985). Our Favourite Shop was renamed Internationalists in the United States.
