Baba O’Riley Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1: Roger Daltrey]
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, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Interlude]
[Bridge: Pete Townshend]
Don't cry, don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland
[Verse 2: Roger Daltrey]
Sally, take my hand, we'll travel south 'cross land
Put out the fire and don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here, the happy ones are near
Let's get together before we get much older
[Chorus: Roger Daltrey]
Teenage wasteland, it's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland, oh, yeah
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted
[Instrumental Outro]
Bargain Lyrics
[Verse 1: Roger Daltrey]
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
[Chorus: Roger Daltrey]
I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had
[Verse 2: Roger Daltrey]
I'd gladly lose me to find you
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 going to drown an unsung man
[Chorus: Roger Daltrey]
I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had
[Bridge: Pete Townshend]
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 make two
One and one make one
And I'm looking for that free ride to me
I'm looking for you
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 2: Roger Daltrey]
I'd gladly lose me to find you
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 going to drown an unsung man
[Chorus: Roger Daltrey]
I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had
[Instrumental Outro]
Love Ain’t for Keeping Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Laying 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-sleeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
[Verse 2]
Black ash from the foundry
Hangs like a hood
But the air is perfumed
By the burning firewood
The seeds are bursting
The spring's a-seeping
Lay down, my darling
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
[Outro]
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down, my darling
Love ain't for keeping
My Wife Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
I'm gonna buy a gun so I can look after number one
Give me a bodyguard, a black belt Judo expert
With a machine gun
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Refrain]
And I'm oh-so tired of running
Gonna lay down on the floor
I've gotta rest some time
So I can get to run some more, yeah
[Chorus]
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
The Song Is Over Lyrics
[Verse 1: Pete Townshend]
The song is over
It's all behind me
I should have known it
She tried to find me
[Verse 2: Pete Townshend]
Our love is over
They're all ahead now
I've got to learn it
I'm gonna sing out
[Chorus: Roger Daltrey]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Pete Townshend]
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
[Verse 3: Pete Townshend]
Our love is over
It's all behind me
They're all ahead now
Can't hope to find me
[Chorus: Roger Daltrey]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4: Pete Townshend]
The song is over
I'm left with only tears
I must remember
Even if it takes a million years
[Outro: Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey]
The song is over
The song is over
Excepting one note, pure and easy
Playing so free, like a breath rippling by
Getting in Tune Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'm singing this note 'cause it fits in well with the chords I'm playing
I can't pretend there's any meaning hidden in the things I'm saying
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I get a little tired of having to say, "Do you come here often?"
But when I look in your eyes, I see the harmonies and the heartaches soften
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
I got it all here in my head
There's nothing more needs to be said
I'm just banging on my old piano
I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow
(Getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
Yeah, I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I've got it all here in my head
There's nothing more needs to be said
I'm just banging on my old piano
Getting in tune to the straight and narrow
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
Yeah, I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
Yeah, I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
Yeah, I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow, yeah
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
Yeah, I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
(I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
Going Mobile Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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'
[Verse 2]
I can pull up by the curb
I can make it on the road
Goin' mobile
I can stop in any street
Invite in people that we meet
Goin' mobile
Keep me movin'
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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'
[Interlude]
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, mobile, mobile, mobile
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
Ooh, yeah, hee-hee
Mobile, mobile, mobile yeah, mm
Behind Blue Eyes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
[Outro]
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 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 all flown in the last war
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do you?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Yeah
There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
