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, |

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 |

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give never think about myself If I gave you time to change my mind I'd find a way just to leave the past behind Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe If I listened long enough to you I'd find a way to believe that it's all true Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give never think about myself |

(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! |

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 |

When the rain came I thought you'd leave
'cause I knew how much you loved the sun But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm through the darkest nights I've ever known If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing then I know I love ya Oh the snow fell without a break Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years I couldn't believe you kept a smile Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst And I know I love ya Oh I never was good with romantic words so the next few lines come really hard Don't have much but what I've got is yours except of course my steel guitar Ha, 'cause I know you don't play but I'll teach you one day because I love ya I recall the night we knelt and prayed Noticing your face was thin and pale I found it hard to hide my tears I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing Couldn't change a thing no, no The coldest winter in almost fourteen years could never, never change your mind And I love ya Yes indeed and I love ya And I love ya Lordy I love ya |

Let me tell you about a place, somewhere up in New York way
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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
