Meher Baba M5 (Vivaldi) - Lyrics - Pete Townshend

Title: Meher Baba M5 (Vivaldi)
Artist: Pete Townshend
Composer(s): Mark Brzezicki, Jaz Lochrin, Josh Phillips-Gorse, Gavin Lewis, Pete Townshend

Lyric:
You will each hear your own song
Each your own note
Your own vibration in the cosmos
All of you will know one another through the other song
You will blend and get in harmony

As you blend your song will change
And at the end your music will turn into a sound so complete
That it will show us that we all are one
Free
We are in tune

I know what you've been up to

Alright, but I know what your game is too
The words of Rosalind's song say it all, really, don't they?
What a worry you are, Raymond Highsmith

Meher Baba M3 - Lyrics - Pete Townshend

Title: Meher Baba M3
Artist: Pete Townshend
Composer(s): Mark Brzezicki, Jaz Lochrin, Josh Phillips-Gorse, Gavin Lewis, Pete Townshend

Lyric:
We demand a universal grid
We demand a universal grid
We demand a universal grid
We demand a universal grid

ID-Ray High, Gridlife Chronicles, November the tenth, 1992
I'm working on my own in here, going over some old music I did in 1970
It's got something, something special, I could really dream then
It ain't such a bad dream either.

Walking to a club
I've been completely degraded by chasing publicity
Degraded, yeah, I'll never go back, I know too much
I know how it's done, I can't discover it all over again, make it seem new

You're great, Ray, you know that, man, here, hold up, this is the place
What? Can't go in here, that bloody cow Ruth Streeting uses this club
She hates my guts
It's her job to hate your guts, she's a journalist, it's nothing personal

Oh sod it, I forgot, of course she won't be here, she's in the States
Oh c'mon, let's go in anyway
We've got to get back in the mainstream sometime
Come on, you own shares in the place

That cow wrote that I'm ugly
Well, you are ugly
I'm not
Yes, you are
No, I'm not
Well, you are, actually
Oh bullocks, Oh, let's go in

Maxims For Lunch - Lyrics - Pete Townshend

Title: Maxims For Lunch
Artist: Pete Townshend
Composer(s): Pete Townshend

Lyric:
Now I know I was served in a big silver chair
But you seemed to think
I deserved all indulgence I dared

We shared the same golden spoon
Unaware of who was feeding whom
Back then at the start
We could eat with anyone we cared

I should've known you was full
By the way that you handed to me
We both got so old
I couldn't say how we planned it to be

No need to pull any punch
Love Maxims for lunch
With the fresh broken heart
You will eat with anyone that's agreeing

We were full on Caprese
We laughed while we dine
I served the entrée
You served the spirits and the wine

But time heals and while
We laughed through our meals
I cheated desire
Fading and tired and pine

So won't you RSVP now
Say it right to my face
Have a Maxim more for the road
And let's get out of this place

I spent too long on the queue
You over drank the Le Tour
Let's get back to wafers and water
I can't stand the pace

I spent too long on the mic
While you were loving to type
And now that we've eaten
We can both say what the hell we like

Don'T Let Go The Coat - Lyrics - Pete Townshend

Title: Don'T Let Go The Coat
Artist: Pete Townshend
Composer(s): Pete Townshend

Lyric:
I can't be held responsible for my behavior
I lost all contact with my only savior
Please don't lock me out because I missed to phone ya
I can't bear to live forever like a loner

Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat

I seen you on a Tuesday morning
Everyone but me seems still to be yawning
I can write a letter and I'm gonna to ya
Am I gone blind thinking about you lot?

Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat

I try to explain but you never understand it
I need your body but I can't just demand it

Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat

I can't be held responsible for my behavior
I lost all contact with my only savior
Please don't lock me out because I missed to phone ya
I can't bear to live forever like a loner

Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat

Keep singing
Don't let go of the coat
Keep telling myself now
Don't let go of the coat
That's why I'm singing now
Don't let go of the coat
Ooh, don't let go of the coat

Admitting to myself
Don't let go of the coat
Quit feeling bad for myself
Don't let go of the coat
Just gotta look after myself
Don't let go of the coat
Ooh, don't let go of the coat

Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat

Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat

Meher Baba M4 (Signal Box) - Lyrics - Pete Townshend

Title: Meher Baba M4 (Signal Box)
Artist: Pete Townshend
Composer(s): Mark Brzezicki, Jaz Lochrin, Josh Phillips-Gorse, Gavin Lewis, Pete Townshend

Lyric:
My name is Spinner
Athena, the controller
Of 'The Life Experience Grid', is neglecting her job
She makes experienced programs
These implement virtual reality systems

The programs are fed to
Anyone wearing Gridlife suits
They are for refuge from pollution
Or radiation during Grid-sleep curfews
The programs replace life

All Lovers Are Deranged - Lyrics - Pete Townshend

Title: All Lovers Are Deranged
Artist: Pete Townshend
Composer(s): David Gilmour, Peter Townshend

Lyric:
It takes a fool to phone a fool
When they both have said it all
We make the rule and bemoan the rule
That neither soul should call

But love that was is love that is
Demands to always be unchanged
But then all lovers are deranged

We walk away with memories
And clutch them to our hearts
We disembodied entities
We loves in fits and starts

For love like wine intoxicates
It drives all of you drink insane
But then all lovers are deranged

You know that you don't really fall in love
Unless you're seventeen
Then break your word, let your spirits fly
But you can't know what it means
Unless you're seventeen

It takes a fight to start a fight
And differences remain
We have the right to think, we're right
We're addicts feigning shame

For love recalled, is love reborn
We're determined to revive the pain
But then all lovers are deranged
All lovers are deranged

It takes a fool to phone a fool
When they both have said it all
We make the rule, bemoan the rule
That neither soul should call

La-La Lies - Lyrics - Pete Townshend

Title: La-La Lies
Artist: Pete Townshend
Composer(s): Peter Townshend

Lyric:
If I'm so lost without a friend
Tell me, who's this by my side?
This girl with eyes like gems
And cool reactions to your lies, lies
La la la la la la lies

You can't repeat what you put 'round
All the things that made me cry
You kicked me when I was down
And they hurt me all those lies, lies
La la la la la la lies

I've got my girl and together we're strong
To laugh at you and prove you wrong

I don't insist that you feel bad
I just want to make you smile
Don't ever think you made me mad
I didn't listen to your lies

If I'm so lost without a friend
Tell me, who's this by my side?
This girl with eyes like gems
And cool reactions to your lies, lies
La la la la la la lies

I don't insist that you feel bad
I just want to make you smile
Don't ever think you made me mad
I didn't listen to your lies

Parvardigar - Lyrics - Pete Townshend

Title: Parvardigar
Artist: Pete Townshend
Composer(s): Peter Townshend

Lyric:
O Parvardigar, the preserver and protector of all
Without beginning are you, Lord, without end
Non-dual, beyond compare and none can measure You
Without color, expression or form, nor attributes to live

You are unlimited and [Incomprehensible]
Imperishable beyond conception by our minds
No one can defy You, oh God, You are eternal
None can see You but with eyes divine

You always were, You always are and always will be
You are everywhere in everything and beyond
In the firmament above and in the deep
On all the seven planes and farther on
And in all that?s hidden to our eyes in all we see

Beyond the trinity of words and in the vow
You cannot be perceived or no one shall repent
O Parvardigar, preserve, protect us all
Without begging are you, Lord, without end
You always were, You always are and always will be

You are the Creator, the Lord of lords
The knower of all minds and hearts
Omnipotent, omnipresent, from you we cower
You are knowledge, infinite bliss, infinite power

You are the ocean of knowledge, knowing all
Infinitely knowing would can but tell
The knower of the past, the present and future
Crowning even this, Your knowledge itself

Oh merciful, benevolence eternal
You're the trinity of knowledge, truth and bliss
You are the source of truth, the One with infinite attributes
You are the ocean of love we sorely miss

You always were, You always are and always will be
You are the Ancient One, the Highest of the high
You are Prabhu and Parameshwar

You are the beyond God, beyond, beyond God are you
Parabrahma, Ilahi and Allah
Yezdan, Ahuramazda and God, the beloved

O Parvardigar, the preserver and protector of all
Without beginning are you, Lord, without end
You are named Ezad, the only One worthy of worship
We sing the universal prayer to You, amen

Baba O'Riley [Demo Version] - Lyrics - Pete Townshend

Title: Baba O'Riley [Demo Version]
Artist: Pete Townshend
Composer(s): Peter Townshend

Lyric:
Music and vibrations are the basis of everything
They pervade everything, human consciousness is reflected by them
Atoms are vibrations between positive and negative forces
Some very subtle, some complex, but it's all music

Soon, we will switch in the whole world
Every person wearing an experience suit
Will share this adventure with us

The crowd rush in
Three circles are closing fast to form a perfect cushion as he lands
As Spinner hits the crowd and the long
Sustained final chord suddenly ends

Ray, I've cut all this
Go straight to twenty-eight

White City Fighting - Lyrics - Pete Townshend

Title: White City Fighting
Artist: Pete Townshend
Composer(s): David Gilmour, Pete Townsend

Lyric:
The White City, that's a joke of a name
It's a black violent place if I remember the game
I couldn't wait to get out but I love to go home
To remember the White City fighting

The White City Fighting, remember, remember
The White City Fighting, remember, remember

Down to the refuge, near QPR
I drive to committees in my German car
Prone to violence, prone to shame
I glide in silence, my pride in vain

For no one remembers, not that I can see
That we were defenders, we were the free

The White City, blood was an addiction
Now it is analyzed just as though it were fiction
That battles were won and battles were blown
At the height of the White City fighting

The White City Fighting, remember, remember
The White City Fighting, remember, remember

No one remembers, not that I can see
That we were defenders, we were the free

The White City, I finally grew up
To resist the temptation the gutters all threw up
But I have to go back, I guess I'm violence prone
To remember the White City fighting, yeah

The White City Fighting, remember, remember
The White City Fighting, remember, remember
The White City Fighting, remember, remember

Drifting Blues - Lyrics - Pete Townshend

Title: Drifting Blues
Artist: Pete Townshend
Composer(s): Eddie E Williams, Charles Mose Brown, Johnny Moore

Lyric:
I'm drifting and drifting like a ship out on the sea
I'm drifting and drifting like a ship out on the sea
Nobody seems to want me, except the wide and open sea

My ship ain't got no captain, my ship ain't got no crew
My ship ain't got no captain, my ship ain't got no crew
Doin' that tide dare blow me, their my passing few to do

I look around for a savior, who saves me from the hungry sea
I look around for a savior, who saves me from the hungry sea
Maybe he's down at the bottom, waiting patiently for me

Cat Snatch - Lyrics - Pete Townshend

Title: Cat Snatch
Artist: Pete Townshend
Composer(s): Timothy Miles Rice, Andrew Lloyd-Webber

Lyric:
It won't be easy, you'll think it's strange
When I try to explain how I feel
And that I still need your love
After all that I've done

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window
Staying out of the sun

So I choose freedom
Running 'round, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
Well I never expected it too

Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise, don't keep your distance

As for fortune and as for fame
Well I never invited them in
Though it seems to the world
They were all I desired

They were illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise, don't keep your distance
I kept my promise, don't keep your distance

Naked Eye - Lyrics - Who

Title: Naked Eye
Artist: Who
Composer(s): Pete Townshend

Lyric:
Take a little dope
And walk out in the air
The stars are all connected to the brain
Find me a woman and lay down on the ground
Pleasure comes falling down like rain

Get myself a car, I feel power as I fly
Oh now I'm really in control
It all looks fine to the naked eye
But it don't really happen that way at all
Don't happen that way at all

You sign your own name and I sign mine
They're both the same
But we still get separate rooms
You can cover up your guts
But when you cover up your nuts
You're admitting that
There must be something wrong

Press any button, milk and honey flow
The world begins behind your neighbor's wall
It all looks fine to the naked eye
But it don't really happen that way at all
Don't happen that way at all

You hold the gun and I hold the wound
We stand looking in each other's eyes
It all looks fine to the naked eye
But it don't really happen that way at all
Don't happen that way at all

The Seeker - Lyrics - Rush

Title: The Seeker
Artist: Rush
Composer(s): Pete Townshend

Lyric:
I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables
I've tried to find the key
To fifty million fables

They call me the seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked the Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either

They call me the seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

People tend to hate me 'cause I never smile
As I ransack their homes they want to shake my hand
Focusing on nowhere investigating miles
I'm a seeker, I'm a really desperate man

I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I learned how to raise my voice in anger
Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile?
I'm happy when life's good and when it's bad I cry
I've got values but I don't know how or why

I'm looking for me
You're looking for you
We're looking in at each other
And we don't know what to do

They call me the seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

Four Faces - Lyrics - Who

Title: Four Faces
Artist: Who
Composer(s): Pete Townshend

Lyric:
They kicked me out
They kicked me out
They kicked me out
They kicked me out

You must've heard of them, a kind of screwed-up blend
Split personality
Two sides to fight and argue all night
Over coffee or tea

Well, that's okay, I wouldn't mind, two say
Or even three, and that's no joke
But with a four-way split, the pocket money's hit
And all of me is broke

I got four heads inside my mind
Four rooms I'd like to lie in
Four selves I want to find
And I don't know which one is me

I get four papers in the box each day
Four girls ringing that I'm trying to date
I look in the mirror and see my face
But I don't know which one is me
(I don't know which one is me)

He kicked me out
He kicked me out
He kicked me out
He kicked me out

I wake up over here and then I'm over here
I'm trying to brush my teeth
It's little things that are hard
Like starting up the car when I'm still underneath

I get along alright, in fact it's fun at night
I get four-dimensional dreams
But I have to think before I take a drink
I get hungover times sixteen

There are four records I want to buy
Four highs I'd like to try
Every letter I get, I send four replies
And they don't know which one's from me

I've got four hang-ups, I'm trying to beat
Four directions and just two feet
I've got a very very secret identity
And I don't know which one is me

You think it's funny, I can tell
Well, you don't understand too well
I get so lonely and turned around
But I can't let it bring me down

I got four hang-ups, I'm trying to beat
Four directions and just two feet
Got a very very secret identity
And I don't know which one is me

Do you think it's alright
To leave the boy with Uncle Ernie?
Do you think it's alright
He's had a few too many tonight
Do you think it's alright? I think it's alright

I'm your wicked Uncle Ernie
I'm glad you won't see or hear me
As I fiddle about, fiddle about, fiddle about

Your mother left me here to mind you
Now I'm doing what I want to
Fiddling about, fiddling about, fiddle about

Down with the bedclothes
Up with your nightshirt
Fiddle about, fiddle about, fiddle about

Fiddle about, fiddle about, fiddle about

You won't shout as I fiddle about
Fiddle about, fiddle about, fiddle about
Fiddle about, fiddle about, fiddle about

Fiddle about, fiddle about, fiddle about

We found this pile of paper
Written by the Ether Man
He hatched a mad old caper
He had a mad old plan

He'd turn us in to music
He'd show us to our portals
He gathered wire and angels
To entertain immortals

Out on the endless, endless
Out on the endless wire
Out on the endless, endless
Out on the endless, endless, endless, endless wire

Out on the endless, endless
Out on the endless wire
Out on the endless, endless
Out on the endless wire

Real Good Looking Boy - Lyrics - Who

Title: Real Good Looking Boy
Artist: Who
Composer(s): Luigi Creatore, Hugo E Peretti, Pete Townshend, George David Weiss

Lyric:
When I think back to the first time in my childhood
When I saw that face, I thought right then
That's a real good looking boy

I saw myself in the mirror in profile
For the first time, I thought
Hey, that's a real good looking boy

And I felt then that I moved
With all those lucky fucks and angels
High in the theater in the sky

So I ran to my mother
I said, "Hey Mom, take a look at me
Have you ever seen a teen fly so high?"

That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

She said, "Son, well you know you're an ugly boy
You don't really look like him"
In this long line, there's been some real strange genes
You got 'em all, you got 'em all with some extras thrown in

That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

Wise men say
"Only fools, only fools rush in"
But I, I can't help
Falling in love, in love with you

Now I'm here with you, little darling
And you say, "You're beautiful as you are"
And I've managed somehow to survive

You arrived in my life like a fragrance
You helped me find a way to laugh
Now I know how so called beauty lies

God gave him a face
Then he gave me something above
God gave me a grace
Then he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love

You make me feel I'm a real good looking boy
I feel I'm a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

Old Red Wine - Lyrics - Who

Title: Old Red Wine
Artist: Who
Composer(s): Pete Townshend

Lyric:
Old red wine, well past its prime
May have to finish it after crossing the line
Dusty old wine, two thousand a time
An inch of black mud always left behind

They say you turned in while the sun still shined
That gorgeous girl with you was highly primed
She said she'd take you way down or way up
She might break your heart, she might crack you up

Old red wine, not worth a dime
Gonna have to drink it with you some other time
Expensive old wine, forty years lying
Mice chewed the labels don't know what we're buying

Back home in California, they got wine for the meek
There's the Bowl and the Fillmore, the Cow and the Greek
You sniffed at the cork, chose low on the list
Held your glass to the light and gazed through the mist

Old red wine, well past its prime
Gonna have to drink it with you some other time

Just let it breathe
Oh let it breathe
Breath life, breath life
Let it breathe
Let it breathe
Let it breathe
