Artist: The Who Album: A Quick One {1966}

Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run

Well, baby, better take my advice
A black cat crossed your path twice
The moon came out next to the sun
You opened your umbrella in a room
You better run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run

Well, you ain't the luckiest girl I know
And you won't get luckier the way you're goin'
Your horseshoe's rusty and your mirror's cracked
You walk under ladders then you walk right back
You better run, run, run - pack your bags and go
Run, run, run - you better believe me
Run, run, run - you better go
Run, run, run

When you dropped that little pin
Never thought what a mess it would get you in
Little pin, little pin, bring me luck
Because I stopped to pick you up
You better run, run, run - get away from here
Run, run, run - pack your bags and go
Run, run, run - you've gotta go
Run, run, run

Now little girl I'm helping you
I hope you believe what I say is true
Whenever you run I'll be running too
Whenever you run I'll be following you
You better run, run, run
Run, run, run - you've gotta leave
Run, run, run - you've gotta go
Run, run, run
Run, run, run

Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread
Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Now he's dropped onto the floor
Heading for the bedroom door
Maybe he's as scared as me
Where's he gone now, I can't see
Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Creepy, crawly, creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

There he is wrapped in a ball
Doesn't seem to move at all
Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure
Pick this book up off the floor
Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Creepy, crawly, creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

He's come to a sticky end - creepy, crawly
Don't think he will ever mend - creepy, crawly
Never more will he crawl round - creepy, crawly
He's embedded in the ground - creepy, crawly
Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Knowing is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you, but they really mean, "So long."
You talk to them, they laugh aloud
Yet they'll run to you in any crowd
Please talk to me again, I need you

We're dancing, we will come and dance near you
We want to learn, let us come and sitar with you
Distort my ears when the music's loud
Yet you raise your hatchet in the yellow crowd
Please talk to me again, I need you

George and Jingo will come down later with their wives, ya know
Excuse me sir, will you move your car

Knowing is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you, but they really mean, "So long."
You talk to them, they laugh aloud
But they'll run to you in any crowd
Please talk to me again, I need you

Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time
He always joins me when I drink and we get on just fine
Nobody has ever seen him, I'm the only one
Seemingly I must be mad, insanity is fun if that's the way it's done

Doctors say he just a figment of my twisted mind
If they can't see my Whiskey Man they must be going blind

Two men dressed in white collected me two days ago
They said there's only room for one and Whiskey Man can't go
Whiskey Man will waste away if he's left on his own
I can't even ring him cos he isn't on the phone, hasn't got a home

Life is very gloomy in my little padded cell
It's a shame there wasn't room for Whiskey Man as well

Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time
He always joins me when I drink and we get on just fine
We get on just fine, just fine

Heatwave, heatwave

Whenever I'm with you something inside
Starts to burn deep and my heart's filled with fire
Could be that I'm very sentimental
Or is this just the way love's supposed to be
I got a heatwave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying, tearin' me apart

Sometimes she calls my name, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't explain
I feel, yeah, I feel, I feel this burning flame
This high blood pressure got a hold on me
Cos this is the way love's supposed to be
Got a heatwave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying, you're tearin' me apart

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, woo
Oh yeah, oh yeah, woo

Just another chance, this could be a new romance

Heatwave, heatwave
Heatwave, heatwave

INSTRUMENTAL

Don't go and hide, yesterday you were my girlfriend
If you do my inside goes around and around in a whirlwind
There's a stone in my shoe so I can't catch you up
My head's in a lion's mouth, wants to eat me up

Right here today don't look away
I've always been true and I still love you
So don't look away there's a lot you can do
To get me away you've got to stay
Don't look away, don't look away

I once heard you say if I ever was down you would help me
Now my head's being chewed up, you pretend that you don't see
There's a stone in my shoe so I can't catch you up
My head's in a lion's mouth, wants to eat me up

Right here today don't look away
I've always been true and I still love you
So don't look away there's a lot you can do
To get me away you've got to stay
Don't look away, don't look away

I've always been true and I still love you
So don't look away there's a lot you can do
To get me away you've got to stay
Don't look away, don't look away
Don't look away, don't look away

Some way, some day I'll find a way
To make you see my way
Even if you don't think like I do
You know that it's true
It's your mind that I seek

Tried so hard to make me think my point of view was bad
Although at times when you kept on I thought that I was mad

I'm glad it's goodbye, you don't have to ask why
Come back another day, come back when you see my way
You see my way

Tried so hard to make me think my point of view was bad
Although at times when you kept on I thought that I was mad

Some way, some day, I'll find a way
To make you see my way
I'm glad it's goodbye, you don't have to ask why
Come back another day, come back when you see my way
You see my way, you see my way

So sad about us
So sad about us
Sad that the news is out now
Sad, suppose we can't turn back now
Sad about us

So bad about us
So bad about us
Bad, never meant to break up
Bad, suppose we'll never make up
Bad about us

Apologies mean nothing when the damage is done
But I can't switch off my loving
Like you can't switch off the sun

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

So sad about us
So sad about us
Sad, never meant to break up
Sad, suppose we'll never make up
Sad about us

Her Man's Been Gone

Her man's been gone for nearly a year
He was due home yesterday but he ain't here
Her man's been gone for nigh on a year
He was due home yesterday but he ain't here

Crying Town

Down your street your crying is a well known sound
Your street is very well known throughout your town
Your town is very famous for the little girl
Whose crying can be heard all around the world

Ivor The Engine Driver

Little girl, why don't you stop your crying
I'm gonna make you feel all right

My name is Ivor, I'm an engine driver
I know him well, I know why you feel blue
Just cos he's late don't mean he'll never get through

He told me he loves you - he ain't no liar, I ain't either
So let's have a smile for an old engine driver
So let's have a smile for an old engine driver

Please take a sweet, come take a walk with me
We'll sort it out back at my place, maybe
It'll come right - you ain't no fool, I ain't either
So why not be nice to an old engine driver
Better be nice to an old engine driver
Better be nice to an old engine driver

Soon Be Home

We'll soon be home, we'll soon be home
We'll soon, we'll soon, soon, soon be home
We'll soon be home, we'll soon be home
We'll soon, we'll soon, soon, soon be home

Come on, old horse

Soon be home, soon be home
Soon, we'll soon, soon, soon be home
We'll soon, we'll soon, soon, soon be home
We'll soon be home, soon be home

You Are Forgiven

Dang, dang, dang, dang
Dang, dang, dang, dang

Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello

I can't believe it - do my eyes deceive me
Am I back in your arms away from all harm
It's like a dream to be with you again
Can't believe that I'm with you again

I missed you and I must admit I kissed a few and once did sit
On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap and later with him had a nap
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven

You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven

You are forgiven

Found her in a barn in Tennessee
I paid five bucks for my Bucket T
Took me three years of sweat and blood
To clean off all that Tennessee mud

Cruisin' down the street in front of school
I wanna rev it up but I gotta be cool
Drivin' down the road I'll get my kicks
A-poppin' the clutch and slippin' the sticks

There's nothing on the freeway she don't pass
All the girls want to take a ride with me
But there's only one seat in my Bucket T

I used to know everything about you
But today when I tried to point you out to one of my friends
I picked the wrong girl again
Don't see you in the crowd anymore
I think it's you but I can't be sure
You're wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you wearing disguises

I don't think you want me to see you ever again
And today I saw you dressed as a flower bed
Last week you had a wig on your head
Your directing traffic in the street
And your shoes were too big for your feet
You were wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you wearing disguises

I used to know everything about you
But today when I tried to point you out to one of my friends
I picked the wrong girl again
Don't see you in the crowd anymore
I think it's you but I can't be sure
You're wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you wearing disguises
Wearing disguises, wearing disguises
Wearing disguises, wearing disguises

Doctor, there's something wrong with me
My health is not all that it used to be
My heart is out of beat, I got blisters on my feet
My eyesight's getting dimmer, I can't see

Doctor, thanks for seeing me today, I'm glad
I've got every sickness there is to be had
I had whooping cough last month and today I've got the mumps
And tomorrow I'll catch chicken pox as well

Doctor, doctor, doctor make me well
I've not got long to go now I can tell
Doctor, doctor, doctor make me well
I've not got long to go I can tell
I've not got long to go I can tell

Those pills I took have no effect at all
Just the other day I had a nasty fall
And I think I broke my jaw when it hit the kitchen floor
And I'm shrinking, last week I was five-foot-four

I've been getting shivers lately, is it flu
I know the bug is going round, what can I do
And it's about to pick on me, I've still got the other three
Do you think if I caught smallpox I'd get flu

Doctor, doctor, doctor make me well
I've not got long to go now I can tell
Doctor, doctor, doctor make me well
I've not got long to go I can tell
I've not got long to go I can tell

Do you think it's time that I made out my will
I'll leave everything to you to pay my bill
Just how long is there to go, please tell me I want to know
But on second thought, don't tell me, I'm too ill

One, two, three, two, two, three

I've been away so long
Wonder where I went wrong
I spent my last years in a cell
Never, ever go away again
I've been so sad and lonely
Never, ever, ever gonna go away again

It's a waste of time doing time
When you didn't commit the crime
It wasn't me it was my brother Bill
Emptied out the till, never gonna speak to Bill again
He's made me sad and lonely
Never, ever gonna speak to brother Bill again

It was no use, they put my brother on the jury
He bribed the others cos he owns the local brewery

They let me out today
Brother Bill's gonna pay
No one's ever gonna speak to Bill again
Never, ever speak to Bill again
He'll be too cold and bony
Never, ever gonna go away again
Never, ever gonna go away again
Never, ever gonna go away again

Come along into the city
Where the girls are pretty
And you can't go wrong
Take your time, no need to hurry
Don't have to worry
Cos it won't take long

Well you can surf in the sea, you can swim in the pools
Do anything you want to cos there ain't no rules
Drive your super-stock carbur to the long highway and you can drag

In the city everybody's right
The kids are hip and they can dance all night
In the city all the girls are pretty and they go

Come along into the city
Where the girls are pretty
And you can't go wrong
Well you can surf in the sea and you can swim in the pools

In the city everybody is right
The kids are hip and they can dance all night
In the city all the girls are pretty and they go

In the city, into the city
In the city, into the city
In the city, into the city
In the city, into the city
In the city, into the city

Happy Jack wasn't old but he was a man
He lived in the sand at the Isle Of Man
The kids all would sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head with their furry donkey

But they never stopped Jack in the water lapping
And they couldn't distract him from the seagulls flapping

The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
They lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

They never stopped Jack nor the water lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

The kids all would sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head in their furry donkey

But they never stopped Jack nor the water lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

Kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
They lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

But they never stop Jack nor the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

She wants a man with lots of money, not a poor boy
He buys her things, she calls him honey, she calls me Poor boy

What good could it do
To give her love, pure and true
When any fool could understand
She thinks that money makes the man

She wants a man with lots of money, not a poor boy
She wants the things you buy with money, not a poor boy
A man with money, a man with money, a man with money

Just down the street I know a place
When they're asleep I'll cover my face
I'll break the lock, open the door
I'll slip inside, I'll rob the store

Then I'll be a man with lots of money, not a poor boy
I'll buy her things, she'll call me honey, not a poor boy
A man with money, a man with money
A man with money, man with money
Man with money, man with money

People try to put us down
Talkin' bout my generation
Just because we get around
Talkin' bout my generation
Things they do look awful cold
Talkin' bout my generation
Yeah, I hope I die before I get old
Talkin' bout my generation

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Talkin' bout my generation
Talkin' bout my generation

Land of hope and glory
Land of hope and glory
Land of hope and glory
