The Who - Greatest Hits [compilation] (1998) by The Who (보컬) on maniadb.com

You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather
But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah
Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by
Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done

I looked under chairs
I looked under tables
I try to find the key
To fifty million fables

They call me the seeker
I've been searchin' low and high

I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked the Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either

They call me the seeker
I've been searchin' low and high

I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

People tend to hate me
Cause I never smile
As I ransack their homes they wanna shake my hand

Focusin' on nowhere
Investigatin' miles
I'm a seeker I'm a really desperate man

I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I learned how to raise my voice in anger
Yeah but look at my face, ain't this a smile
I'm happy when life's good, and when it's bad I cry
I got values but I don't know how or why

I'm lookin' for me
You're lookin' for you
We're lookin' at each other and we don't know what to do

They call me the seeker
I've been searchin' low and high

I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

See that girl who's smiling so brightly,
Well I reckon she's cool and I reckon rightly,
She's good looking and I ain't frightened,
I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning.

Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly,
My XKE is shining so brightly,
The noose around us is slowly tightening,
I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning.

Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly,
My XKE is shining so brightly,
The noose around us is slowly tightening,
I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning.

You can't catch me, I'm as fast as can be,
Call me lightning, I'm as fast as can be,
No you can't catch me, no you can't catch me.

People try to put us d-down
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)
Just because we get around
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don′t you all f-fade away
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)
And don′t try to dig what we all s-s-say
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)
I′m not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)
I′m just talkin′ ′bout my g-g-g-generation
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don′t you all f-fade away
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)
And don′t try to d-dig what we all s-s-say
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)
I′m not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)
I′m just talkin′ ′bout my g-g-generation
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

People try to put us d-down
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)
Just because we g-g-get around
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)
Yeah, I hope I die before I get old
(Talkin′ ′bout my generation)

Local Lad:

Ever since I was a young boy,
I've played the silver ball.
)From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all.
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall...
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball !

He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean.
He plays by intuition,
The digit counters fall.
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball !

He's a pin ball wizard
There has got to be a twist.
A pin ball wizard,
S'got such a supple wrist.

'How do you think he does it? I don't know!
What makes him so good?'

He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells,
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell.
Always has a replay,
'n' never tilts at all...
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball.

I thought I was
The Bally table king.
But I just handed
My pin ball crown to him.

Even my usual table
He can beat my best.
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest.
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall...
That deaf dumb and blind kind
Sure plays a mean pin ball.!!!!!

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man.
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man.
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key,
So they rode on ahead on their furry donkey.
The kids couldn't hurt Jack,
They tried, tried, tried.
They dropped things on his back,
They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied.
But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping,
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy.
But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping,
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy.
The kids couldn't hurt Jack,
They tried, tried, tried.
They dropped things on his back
They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied.
But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping.
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy.
(I saw ya!)

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 foe, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they'd all flown in the last 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
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are out-phased, by-the-bye
And the party on the left
Is now party on the right
And their 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!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

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 comin' after me

Give me police protection
Gonna buy a gun so I can look after number one
Give me a bodyguard a black 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 spendin' 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 spendin' 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
Yeah

She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'

Mama's got a squeeze box she wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home he never gets no rest
Cause she's playin' all night
And the music's all right

Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

Well the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street
Cause she's playin' all night
And the music's all right

Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
She's playin' all night
And the music's all right

Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

She goes squeeze me
Come on and squeeze me
Come on and tease me like you do
I'm so in love with you

Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
Cause she's playin' all night
And the music's all right

Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

Why should I care?
Why should I care?
Girls of fifteen
Sexually knowing
The ushers are sniffing
Eau-de-cologning
The seats are seductive
Celibate sitting
Pretty girls digging
Prettier women
Magically bored
On a quiet street corner
Free frustration
In our minds and our toes
Quiet stormwater
M-m-my generation
Uppers and downers
Either way, blood flows
Inside outside
Leave me alone
Inside outside
Nowhere is home
Inside outside
Where have I been?
Out of my brain
On the five fifteen!
Out of my brain on the train
Out of my brain
On the train
On a raft in the quarry
Slowly sinking
On the back of a lorry
Holy hitching
Dreadfully sorry
Apple scrumping
Born in the war
Birthday punching
He-man drag
In the glittering ballroom
Gravely outrageous
In my high heel shoes
Tightly undone
Know what they're showing
Sadly ecstatic
That their heroes are news
Inside outside
Leave me alone
Inside outside
Nowhere is home
Inside outside
Where have I been?
Out of my brain
On the five fifteen!
Out of my brain on the train
Out of my brain on the train on the train
Woah I'm out of my brain
Out of my brain on the train
Here it comes
Woo, out of my brain
On the train on the train
Out of my brain on the train
Why should I care?
Why should I care?

Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach
Is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Layin' in the fields

Love
Reign o'er me

Love
Reign o'er me
Rain on me
Rain on me

Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn
To the sky
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears
From all high

Love
Reign o'er me
Rain on me
Rain on me

Love
Reign o'er me
Rain on me
Rain on me

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spent apart alone
I need to get back home
To cool cool rain

I can't sleep and I lay and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Woo Oh God I need a drink
Of cool cool rain

Love
Reign o'er me
Rain over me
Over me
Over me

Love
Reign o'er me
On me

Love ...

Who are you?
Who who who who?
Who are you?
Who who who who?
Who are you?
Who who who who?

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said ″You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away″

I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin′ punches around
And preachin′ from my chair

chorus:
Well, who are you?
(Who are you? Who who who who?)
I really wanna know
(Who are you? Who who who who?)
Tell me, who are you?
(Who are you? Who who who who?)
′Cause I really wanna know
(Who are you? Who who who who?)

I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin′ Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there′s got to be another way

Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa..

Who are you?
Who who who who?
Who are you?
Who who who who?
Who are you?
Who who who who?
Who are you?
Who who who who?

(chorus)

I know there′s a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees

I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still recieve your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
