Baba O'Riley
Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland
Sally ,take my hand
Travel south crossland
Put out the fire
Don't look past my shoulder The exodus is here
The happy ones are near Let's get together
Before we get much older
Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland Teenage wasteland
Oh, oh
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted!

Bargain
I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I had
To find you I'd suffer anything and be glad
I'd pay any price just to get you
I'd work all my life and I will
To win you I'd stand naked, stoned and stabbed
I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had
I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I got
To catch you I'm gonna run and never stop
I'd pay any price just to win you Surrender my good life for bad
To find you I'm gonna drown an unsung man
I'd call that a bargain The best I ever had
The best I ever had
I sit looking 'round
I look at my face inm the mirror
I know I'm worth nothing without you And like one and one don't make two One and one make one
And I'm looking for that free ride to me I'm looking for you
I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I got
To catch you I'm gonna run and never stop
I'd pay any price just to win you Surrender my good life for bad
To find you I'm gonna drown an unsung man
I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had

Love Ain't For Keeping
Layin' on my back
In the newly mown grass
Rain is coming down
But I know the clouds will pass
You bring me tea
Say "the babe's a-sleepin'"
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Black ash from the foundry Hangs like a hood
But the air is perfumed
By the burning firewood The seeds are bursting
The spring is seeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down my darling
Love ain't for keeping
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Wife
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 coming after me
Give me police protection Gonna buy a gun so
I can look after number one Give me a bodyguard
A back 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 spending 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 spending 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
She's comin'!
She's comin'!

Song Is Over
The song is over
It's all behind me
I should have known it
She tried to find me
Our love is over They're all ahead now I've got to learn it I've got to sing out
chorus:
I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces
I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains I'll sing my song to the free, to the free I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces
I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains I'll sing my song to the free, to the free
When I walked in through the door Thought it was me I was looking for She was the first song I ever sang But it stopped as soon as it began
Our love is over
It's all behind me
They're all ahead now
Can't hope to find me
(chorus)
This song is over
I'm left with only tears
I must remember
Even if it takes a million years
The song is over
The song is over
Searchin' for a note, pure and easy
Playing so free, like a breath rippling by
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gettin' In Tune
I'm singing this note 'cause it fits in well With the chords I'm playing
I can't pretend there's any meaning here
Or in the things I'm saying
But I'm in tune Right in tune
I'm in tune
And I'm gonna tune Right in on you Right in on you Right in on you
I get a little tired of having to say
"Do you come here often?"
But when I look in your eyes and see the harmonies And the heartaches soften
I'm getting in tune Right in tune
I'm in tune
And I'm gonna tune
Right in on you (right in on you) Right in on you (right in on you) Right in on you
I've got it all here in my head
There's nothing more needs to be said
I'm just bangin' on my old piano
I'm getting in tune with the straight and narrow (Getting in tune with the straight and narrow) Getting in tune with the straight and narrow (Getting in tune with the straight and narrow)
Yeah, I'm getting in tune with the straight and narrow (Getting in tune with the straight and narrow)
I'm singing this note 'cause it fits in well With the way I'm feeling
There's a symphony that I hear in your heart Sets my head a-reeling
But I'm in tune Right in tune
I'm in tune
And I'm gonna tune
Right in on you (right in on you) Right in on you (right in on you) Right in on you
Baby, with you Baby, with you Baby, with you Baby, with you Baby, with you
I've got it all here in my head
There's nothing more needs to be said
I'm just bangin' on my old piano
I'm getting in tune with the straight and narrow
Getting in tune with the straight and narrow (repeat)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goin' Mobile
I'm goin' home
And when I wanna go home I'm goin' mobile
Well, I'm gonna find a home And we'll see how it feels Goin' mobile
Keep me movin'
I can pull up by the curb
I can make it on the road Goin' mobile
I can stop in any street
And talk with people that we meet Goin' mobile
Keep me movin'
Out in the woods
Or in the city
It's all the same to me
When I'm drivin' free, the world's my home When I'm mobile
Hee, hoo!
beep beep!
Play the tape machine Make the toast and tea When I'm mobile
Well I can lay in bed With only highway ahead When I'm mobile
Keep me movin'
Keep me movin'
Over 50
Keep me groovin'
Just a hippie gypsy
Come on move now
Movin'
Keep me movin', yeah
Keep me movin', groovin', groovin', yeah Movin', Yeah
Mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, ...
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
Oooooh, yeah, hee!
Mobile, mobile, mobile yeah

Behind Blue Eyes
No one knows what it's like To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what it's like To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
When my fist clenches, crack it open Before I use it and lose my cool When I smile, tell me some bad news Before I laugh and act like a fool
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
No one knows what it's like To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Won't Get Fooled Again
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 fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next 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 Though I know that the hypnotized never lie Do ya?
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the 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
