Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone You stole my heart and that's what really hurt The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover, you wore me out All you did was wreck my bed and in the morning kick me in the head Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face You made a first-class fool out of me But I'm as blind as a fool can be You stole my heart but I love you anyway Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face I'll get on back home one of these days, |

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 |

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
trying to make the other side Ever seen a young girl growing old trying to make herself a bride So what becomes of you my love When they have finally stripped you of The handbags and the gladrags That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Baby Once I was a young man and all I thought I had to do was smile You are still a young girl and you bought everything in style Listen But once you think you're in you're out 'cause you don't mean a single thing without the handbags and the gladrags that your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Sing a song of six-pence for your sake And take a bottle full of rye Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake And bake them all in a pie They told me you missed school today So what I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy They told me you missed school today So I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy ya |

Baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry You know she done me wrong She held my eyes open and that's no lie Tables turned and now it's her turn to cry But then I used to love her but it's all over now Yes it is But then I used to love her but it's all over now Listen She used to run around with every single man in town Spent all my money playing her fast game She put me out, it was a pity how I cried But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry Because I used to love her but it's all over now Ain't no lie because I used to love her but it's all over now Listen Well I used to wake the morning get my breakfast in bed When I got worried she'd ease my aching head But now she's here and there with every single man in town But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry Because I used to love her but it's all over now Yes it is Because I used to love her but it's all over now Listen to this one Because I used to love her but it's all over now But then I used to love her but it's all now wait a minute But then I used to love her but you know but you know it's all over now But then I used to love her but you know it's all over now |

Everywhere I hear the sound
of marching, charging feet boy 'Cause the summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street boy Hey think the time is right for a palace revolution Where I live the game to play is just to compromise my solution What can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 'Cause you see bein' London town there's just no other place for a street fighting man Hey did I tell you that my name was called disturbance And I'll shout and scream and I'll kill the king and I'll rail at all his servants What can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 'Cause you see bein' London town there's just no place for a street fighting man Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet boy 'Cause the summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street boy What can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 'Cause you see bein' London town there's just no other place for a street fighting man |

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 |

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! |

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor but then again no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line I've been meaning to phone you, but from Minnesota Hell, it's been a very long time You wear it well A little old-fashioned, but that's alright Well, I suppose you're thinking how Betty is sinking Or he wouldn't get in touch with me Though I ain't begging or losing my head I sure do want you to know, that You wear it well there ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my Remember their basement parties, your brothers' cavorting The all-day rock-and-roll show The homesick blues and the radical views Haven't left a mark on you You wear it well A little out of line but I don't mind But, I ain't forgetting that you were once mine But I'll believe it without even trying Now I'm eating my heart out Trying to get a letter through Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town And you sat down and cried on the stairs You knew it didn't cost the earth but for what it's worth You made me feel a millionaire You wear it well Madame Onassis got nothing on you; no, no And when my coffee is cold and I'm getting told That I gotta get back to work So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone Think of me and try not to laugh, and ( 2) I'll wear it well I don't object if you call collect 'Cause I ain't forgetting that you were once mine But I feel it without even trying Now I'm eating my heart out Trying to get back to you |

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 |

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 |

Angel came down from heaven yesterday
Stayed with me long enough to rescue me And she told me a story yesterday About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea Then she spread her wings high over me She said she?s goin' now, come back tomorrow |

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 |
