Who

Following on from the Moon thread, whats everyones favourite Pete lyric -
say no more than 2 or 3 lines? Listening to "Let's See Action" earlier
today, I think -

"Take me with you
When you leave me
And my shell behind us there."

Beautiful. I didn't think I could appreciate such a lyric outside of
adolescence, but thats the genius of Townshends writing.

Lets hear some responses - this is the first thread I've started in AMW
after many years of lurking - don't make me look stupid!

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
Wheee yeah, hi-hi
Mobile mobile mobile, yeah

"I have to be careful not to preach,
I can't pretend that I can teach.
And yet I lived your future out,
By pounding stages like a clown"

Stay young and stay high

"On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain.
The nights are hot and black as ink
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain."

To win you I'd stand hostinghostinghostinghostinghosting, stoned and stabbed

I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had"

.... when my fist clenches, cut it open before I use it and act like a
fool...
....and 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.

and

.... I've got you all looking out through my eyes... my feet are a prayer.

PEACE... Dave

news: My favorite lyric is from "Sea and Sand".


"I see her dancing, across the ballroom,
UV 's light making starshine on her smile.


However, I'd say later in P&G, this lyric is quite revealing of Townshend:


"The numbered seats in empty rows. It all belongs to me, you know."


That exposed PT's insecurity of bringing the Who into a new, and
experimental direction. He attracted audiences in the 60's by smashing
guitars and blowing up amps. In '73, he considers the Who as a serious
band, that doesn't trash their instruments for effect on cue. Pete still
smashed a guitar or two during a tour, but it was only out of pure
frustration. It wasn't a gimmick anymore.
