Baba O'Riley
|
|
Out here in the fields I fight for my meals I get my back into my living I don't need to fight To prove I'm right I don't need to be forgiven Don't cry Don't raise your eye It's only teenage wasteland Sally ,take my hand Travel south crossland Put out the fire Don't look past my shoulder The exodus is here The happy ones are near Let's get together Before we get much older Teenage wasteland It's only teenage wasteland Teenage wasteland Oh, oh Teenage wasteland They're all wasted! |

Bargain
|
|
I'd gladly lose me to find you I'd gladly give up all I had To find you I'd suffer anything and be glad I'd pay any price just to get you I'd work all my life and I will To win you I'd stand naked, stoned and stabbed I'd call that a bargain The best I ever had The best I ever had I'd gladly lose me to find you I'd gladly give up all I got To catch you I'm gonna run and never stop I'd pay any price just to win you Surrender my good life for bad To find you I'm gonna drown an unsung man I'd call that a bargain The best I ever had The best I ever had I sit looking 'round I look at my face in the mirror I know I'm worth nothing without you And like one and one don't mae two One and one make one And I'm looking for that free ride to me I'm looking for you I'd gladly lose me to find you I'd gladly give up all I got To catch you I'm gonna run and never stop I'd pay any price just to win you Surrender my good life for bad To find you I'm gonna drown an unsung man I'd call that a bargain The best I ever had The best I ever had |

Love Ain't for Keeping
|
|
Layin' on my back In the newly mown grass Rain is coming down But I know the clouds will pass You bring me tea Say "the babe's a-sleepin'" Lay down beside me Love ain't for keeping Black ash from the foundry Hangs like a hood But the air is perfumed By the burning firewood The seeds are bursting The spring is seeping Lay down beside me Love ain't for keeping Lay down beside me Love ain't for keeping Lay down beside me Love ain't for keeping Lay down my darling Love ain't for keeping |

My Wife
|
|
My life's in jeopardy Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be I ain't been home since Friday night And now my wife is coming after me Give me police protection Gonna buy a gun so I can look after number one Give me a bodyguard A back belt Judo expert with a machine gun Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane When she catches up with me Won't be no time to explain She thinks I've been with another woman And that's enough to send her half insane Gonna buy a fast car Put on my lead boots And take a long, long drive I may end up spending all my money But I'll still be alive All I did was have a bit too much to drink And I picked the wrong precinct Got picked up by the law And now I ain't got time to think Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane When she catches up with me Won't be no time to explain She thinks I've been with another woman And that's enough to send her half insane Gonna buy a fast car Put on my lead boots And take a long, long drive I may end up spending all my money But I'll still be alive And I'm oh so tired of running Gonna lay down on the floor I gotta rest some time so I can get to run some more She's comin'! She's comin'! |

The Song Is Over
|
|
The song is over It's all behind me I should have known it She tried to find me Our love is over They're all ahead now I've got to learn it I've got to sing out I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains I'll sing my song to the free, to the free I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains I'll sing my song to the free, to the free When I walked in through the door Thought it was me I was looking for She was the first song I ever sang But it stopped as soon as it began Our love is over It's all behind me They're all ahead now Can't hope to find me I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains I'll sing my song to the free, to the free I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains I'll sing my song to the free, to the free This song is over I'm left with only tears I must remember Even if it takes a million years The song is over The song is over Searchin' for a note, pure and easy Playing so free, like a breath rippling by |

Getting in Tune
|
|
I'm singing this note 'cause it fits in well With the chords I'm playing I can't pretend there's any meaning here Or in the things I'm saying But I'm in tune Right in tune I'm in tune And I'm gonna tune Right in on you Right in on you Right in on you I get a little tired of having to say "Do you come here often?" But when I look in your eyes and see the harmonies And the heartaches soften I'm getting in tune Right in tune I'm in tune And I'm gonna tune Right in on you (right in on you) Right in on you (right in on you) Right in on you I've got it all here in my head There's nothing more needs to be said I'm just bangin' on my old piano I'm getting in tune with the straight and narrow (Getting in tune with the straight and narrow) Getting in tune with the straight and narrow (Getting in tune with the straight and narrow) Yeah, I'm getting in tune with the straight and narrow (Getting in tune with the straight and narrow) I'm singing this note 'cause it fits in well With the way I'm feeling There's a symphony that I hear in your heart Sets my head a-reeling But I'm in tune Right in tune I'm in tune And I'm gonna tune Right in on you (right in on you) Right in on you (right in on you) Right in on you Baby, with you Baby, with you Baby, with you Baby, with you Baby, with you I've got it all here in my head There's nothing more needs to be said I'm just bangin' on my old piano I'm getting in tune with the straight and narrow Getting in tune with the straight and narrow |

Going Mobile
|

I'm goin' home And when I wanna go home I'm goin' mobile Well, I'm gonna find a home And we'll see how it feels Goin' mobile Keep me movin' I can pull up by the curb I can make it on the road Goin' mobile I can stop in any street And talk with people that we meet Goin' mobile Keep me movin' Out in the woods Or in the city It's all the same to me When I'm drivin' free, the world's my home When I'm mobile Hee, hoo! beep beep! Play the tape machine Make the toast and tea When I'm mobile Well I can lay in bed With only highway ahead When I'm mobile Keep me movin' Keep me movin' Over 50 Keep me groovin' Just a hippie gypsy Come on move now Movin' Keep me movin', yeah Keep me movin', groovin', groovin', yeah Movin', Yeah Mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, ... I don't care about pollution I'm an air-conditioned gypsy That's my solution Watch the police and the tax man miss me I'm mobile Oooooh, yeah, hee! Mobile, mobile, mobile yeah |

Behind Blue Eyes
|
|
No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes No one knows what it's like To be hated To be fated To telling only lies But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free No one knows what it's like To feel these feelings Like I do And I blame you No one bites back as hard On their anger None of my pain and woe Can show through But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free When my fist clenches, crack it open Before I use it and lose my cool When I smile, tell me some bad news Before I laugh and act like a fool If I swallow anything evil Put your finger down my throat If I shiver, please give me a blanket Keep me warm, let me wear your coat No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes |

Won't Get Fooled Again
|
|
We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again The change, it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fold, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again No, no! I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky Though I know that the hypnotized never lie Do ya? There's nothing in the streets Looks any different to me And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Are now parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no! Meet the new boss Same as the old boss |
