I was born and raised the only son of a lawyer
'Til I was approximately the age of four or perhaps five I lost both my mother and my father Killed in a fire way up on the fourteenth floor Struck down by the time I was ten by an illness Which robbed me of the sight of the morning sun And that ain't all A homeless child for the next five years With my dog clown by my side and my only friend Yeah, yeah, yeah. I fought my way through school Sound and touch the thing on which I could depend And you know what the, the, the kids Down my street weren't too playful And right then it seemed like the whole world picked on me And ah yeah I worked my fingers to the bone Stretchin' hide for a boot man in Jersey Town But then, but then I lost the last thing I had When fate reared its ugly head and took my dog clown I wandered way up north found a girl that loved like a woman Sixteen years old and felt like a woman But, but, but, but, but what I'm trying to say is God please don't take her away from me I lost everything that I ever had You kicked my name into the dirt Tread my name into the dirt yeah I lost everything that I ever had You kicked my name into the dirt What could I do I never knew how much love could hurt me But it never ever come my way before No, no, no, no, no I never knew how much love could hurt me Good God it ain't never come my way before Oh but, but you know what I'm trying to say Really what I'm trying to say is God please don't take her away from me Ah turn it down I lost everything that I ever had You kicked my name into the dirt You got a lotta lotta lost everything That I ever had ever had |

Did you ever stand and shiver
while looking at a freezing river Have you froze to the bone with just a coat to keep you warm to keep you from a howlin' wind to keep you from a howlin' wind Now listen Have you perished in the drizzling rain Tried to light ... a lift but all in vain With your sock on your head and that old coat on your back to keep you from the drizzlin' rain oh to keep you from the drizzlin' rain Goodbye One more time Did you sleep in a graveyard when it snowed Laid your head on a ..... With the Times on your face and that old coat on your back That kept you from a-withering away good God It just kept you from a-withering away I know And did you ride a lift on a steam train Now listen Had the misfortune not to pay your fare Thrown off the next stop Thrown in the doorway of a shop With that coat to keep you from the wind Oh that old school coat to keep you from the wind And that ain't all Have you had some good friends on the road with ya who'd stand by you through thick and thin Here's to Kevin and Ben, Susie and Len And that coat which never lets you down It never, never, never lets you down It never, never, never lets you down That old coat which never lets you down That old coat which never lets you down Kept me from the drizzlin' rain And oh, kept me from the drizzlin' rain |

I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again
Ah listen It's funny you know when you sit down And think about what you had About the friends you used to know What happened, where did they all go Can you remember happy hours Spent drinkin' and thinkin' We thought we could change the world And we never, never, never, never, never Never thought we could get much older then We were the ones who loved to love the right to love We'd bring it on home with the right song Played at the right time What happened to the girl that you loved once and left Young man did you break her heart Did she live, and did she marry, Did she ever think on your face again Ah now hold on a minute I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again Ah yeah I think what you say is all so right But I find it hard to jog my memories Don't worry Lou you may never get another chance yeah Yes I think what you say is all so right But I find it hard to move my memories Say it again with a lot more feelin' And I think what you say is all so right But I find it hard to find my memories Don't sing so serious you make me feel so sad But if I was true to myself I would probably find it was a tear in my eye That stopped me from believing you Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry don't worry You know my tongue gets tired When I think back on all of the things we do But I wonder if I'll remember these few precious things As years pass me by Ah when young bodies that've grown older And mind's become dimmer I'll point the finger back in time I said I wouldn't change a thing if I could If I could, if I could live it all again, yeah |

Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town I heard a siren from the dock Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring on the sulfured wind Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town We're goin' to take a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town, dirty old town Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town And oh we'll chop you down Oh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town Dirty old town, dirty old town And oh whoa-oh dirty old town Chop you down one of these days |

I think I know now what's making me sad
It's a yearnin' for my own back yard I realize maybe I was wrong to leave Better swallow up my silly country pride Going home, running home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born When the weather's better and the rails unfreeze and the wind don't whistle 'round my knees I'll put on my weddin' suit and catch the evening train I'll be home before the milk's upon the door Going home, running home down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong Should I stray to the house on the hill Let it be known that my intentions were good I'd be singing in my alley if I could And if I'm called away and it's my turn to go Should the blood run cold in my veins Just one favor I'll be asking of you Don't bury me here, it's too cold Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, won't you carry me home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from |

where the people are so gay, twistin' the night away Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run Oh man you'll find the old and young twistin' the night away Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know but oh man, you ought to see him go, twistin' the night away He's dancing with a chick in slacks, she's moving up and back Oh man, there ain't nothing like twistin' the night away Feel much better Here's a fellow in blue jeans, who's dancing with an older queen dolled up in her diamond rings, twistin' the night away Man you ought to see her go, twistin' to the rock and roll Here you'll find the young and the old twistin' the night away They're twistin', twistin', everybody's doing great They're twistin' man, twistin', they're twistin' the night away Twistin', you know they're twistin', twistin' the night away They're twistin', twistin', man twistin' the night away Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run Oh man you'll find young and the old twistin' the night away Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know I don't know but man you ought to see him go Twistin' the night away |

Its late and she's waiting and I know I should go home
But every time I start to leave they play another song Then someone buys another round and wherever drinks are free What's made Milwaukee famous has made a fool out of me Baby's begged me not to go so many times before She says love and happiness can't live behind those swinging doors Nows she's gone and I'm to blame to late I finally see What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me Baby's begged me not to go so many times before She says love and happiness just can't live behind those swinging doors Nows she's gone and I'm to blame to late I finally see What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me |

(Pete Townshend)
[TOMMY (1914-1984), Various Artists, 1972] Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball; From Soho down to Brighton I must have played 'em all. But I ain't seen nothin' like him In any amusement hall That deaf, dumb an' blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball. He stands like a statue, Becomes part of the machine. Feelin' all the bumpers Always playin' clean. Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall. That deaf, dumb an' blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball! |

Nineteen years old and as sweet as she could be
All dressed up like a downtown Christmas tree Dancin' and hummin' a rock 'n' roll melody She's the daughter of a well respected man who taught her how to jerk and understand then she became a rock 'n' roll music fan Sweet little rock 'n' roller, sweet little rock 'n' roller Her daddy doesn't have to scold her Her partner can't hardly hold her Because she never gets any older Sweet little rock 'n' roller Shoulda seen her eyes when the band began to play and the famous singer sang and bowed away When the stars were gone she screamed and yelled hurray Ten thousand eyes were watchin' them leave the floor Five thousand tongues are screaming out "More" and "More" About fifteen hundred waiting outside the door Sweet little rock 'n' roller, sweet little rock 'n' roller Her daddy doesn't have to scold her Her partner can't hardly hold her Because she never gets any older Sweet little rock 'n' roller |

You ain't gonna get me honey no way
Tearing down the highway in the pouring rain escaping from my wedding day I heard the bells ringing in the local church the ceremony's nearly under way Telegrams came and the cheap champagne was driving everybody out of their brains But I convinced my best friends I lost my nerve and I pleaded I was being framed "Sailor show me which way to go" I screamed out loud "Sailor show me which way to go" Such a deadly silence due to my defiance the wedding ground to a halt Said I changed my mind ain't no use in your trying so her brother punched me in the throat her mother got hysterical the bitch was cynical father's in the corner drunk Picking myself off the floor I ran to the door damned if I was skippin' on my way "Sailor show me which way to go" You should have heard the noise Said "Sailor show me which way to go" So keep clean girlie find a man that's truly gonna love you from dusk till dawn Keep your front door key don't give him up for me 'cause tomorrow I may be gone You see, your wouldbe keepers ( ) all night creepin' nobody gonna change in there Who thinks a marriage life should be like a dog's life so let's renew it when the year runs out Sailor show me which way to go Sailor show me which way to go She had a belly full of lust but she had no bust |

I may not seem your ideal
when you look into my eyes I don't smoke, I don't tell jokes I'm not the custom made size But baby let me take you out on the highway for awhile I'll show you where the man in me is when he doesn't hide He's cruisin' in the fast lane stuck behind the wheel Jekyll and Hyde going on inside when I'm your automobile And let me be your car for awhile child shift me into gear and I'll be there fill me up with five star gasoline I'll be your car I'll take you anywhere Don't you know I can't dance I don't dig it, I can't see it at all You say I'm just a specimen and baby I can crawl My physique just don't look the way the physiques really should But then again I've got an engine underneath my hood When I'm cutting up the road with a sports car on my tail Frankenstein's inside my mind and the wind's inside my sails |

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired But when I knew I had to face another long, long day Girl I used to feel so tired Before the day I met you Life had been so unkind But you're the key to my peace of mind 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel You made me feel like a natural man When my soul was in the lost and found You came along to claim it I didn't know, I didn't know just what was wrong with me 'Til your kiss helped me to name it Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for But if I make you happy I don't need to do more 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel You made me feel like a natural man Oo baby, baby look what you have done to me Can't you see that you made me feel so good inside Don't you know that I just want to be Close to you, you made me feel so alive 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel You made me feel like a natural man Baby I ain't doubtful of what I'm living for But if I make you happy I don't need to do more 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel Well you made me feel like a natural man |

Sitting on my back door wondering which way to go
The sun's shining on my back and it hurts (child) The FM station plays another bad 45 And it's been so long since I had a good time It's been so long since I had a good time Never wrecked my head on a bandstand in the trombone or clarinet line When I come in heat on Bourbon Street for Mardi Gras When those for a cryin' just stay behind in the bar 'Cause it's been so long since I had a good time Yeah it's been so long since I had a good time I'm gonna lose control of my powers I might even lose my trousers Smash some glass, act like trash if I want Wear a skirt be a flirt if I want 'Cause it's been so long since I had a good time This prodigal man from Dixieland needs a good time right now, show me a good time right now You better take it while you can You gotta get it while you can And when the Man Upstairs he calls me He'll say "It's your turn son to come" Don't play the blues down in old Toulouse for me Let sleighbells ring and children sing in the street And tell all of my friends that I had a good time Open up the sky won't you ride me high Let's have a good time And if I'm late at heaven's gate blame a good time And when the angels sing I will join in Let's have a good time really I took my luck, I didn't give a fuck, I had a good time Tell all my friends only all my best to have a good time Goodbye |

If you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to the one who lives there She was once a true love of mine And if you're goin' when the snowflakes storm When the rivers freeze and summer ends Please see for me she has a coat so warm To keep her from the howling wind Would you see for me that her hair's hanging long That it rolls and flows all down her breasts See for me that her hair's hanging long 'Cause that's the way I remember her best But I'm a-wondering if she remembers me at all Many times I've often prayed In the darkness of my night In the brightness of my day So if you're traveling in the north country fair Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to the one who lives there 'Cause she was once, she was once a true love of mine And she'll always be a true love of mine And I never, never, never, never give her up |

In a couple of hours I'll be drivin' home to the one I love
So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me Over the mountain and under the sea They'll never be another one like mine for me It was only an hour or so ago that I sang my song Persuaded painted ladies that I could say I'd been free Over the mountain and under the sea They'll never be another one like mine for me Mine is always, mine is grand Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands And can't you see that it's mine for me And in a couple of hours I'll be driving home to the one I love So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me Over the mountain and under the sea They'll never be another one like mine for me You're for me Mine is always, mine is grand Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands And can't you see that it's mine for me They'll never be another one like mine for me They'll never be another one like mine for me They'll never be another one like you for me |

Hey Pal, let me lean on you and talk awhile
Your planes been delayed by the rain Or something I wouldn't even fly away If I had one good reason to stay But you said If you don't need my love I'm gonna find someone who does And I'm not hanging around This old heart is far to proud She got tired of me Staying out late everynight I'd fall up the stair Thought she'd always be there But suddenly I'm alone And I'm not accustomed to sleeping alone She said if you don't need my love I'm gonna find someone who does You've stripped me of everything And you've torn down all my dreams Its been two long weeks Since she's been gone Thought I had her in the palm of my hands She said I'm through, don't try to call me Cause you won't even find me Cause if you don't need my love I'm going to find someone who does And the heartache you've give me You'll get it back just wait and see Well, well, well, well I'd give anything to hold her in my bed again I just want to feel her breath on my back She said my blood can't give her love No way She said if you don't need my love I'm gonna find someone who does And I'm gonna take our child Cause I don't want him running wild Hey pal, I think they just called out your flight Put down your glass don't forget your boarding pass And if your looking or you found love Or sunshine that's enough Don't play hard to get Cause that ain't where its at Give her all your love Place her high above I missed you baby I missed you baby Yea I missed |

I die a little Every time we say goodbye I wonder why a little (Why you guys above me who must be in the know) Say so little to me They allow you to go When you're near there's such an air of Spring about it I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it Theres no love song finer But how strange the change From major to minor Every time we say goodbye When you're near Theres such an air of Spring about it I can hear a lark somewhere Begin to sing about it Theres no love song finer But how strange the change From major to minor Every time you say Theres no love song finer But how strange The change from major to minor Every time we say goodbye |
