Thank you


On top of the sky is a place where you go if you've done nothing wrong
If you've done nothing wrong
And down in the ground is a place where you go if you've been a bad boy
If you've been a bad boy 
Why can't we have eternal life and never die, never die 

In the place up above, you grow feather wings
And you fly round and round with a harp singing hymns
And down in the ground you grow horns and a tail
And you carry a fork and moan and wail 
Why can't we have eternal life and never die, never die 

Heaven, heaven, heaven and hell
I say heaven, heaven and hell, I say it, yeah
Heaven, heaven, heaven and hell

On top of the sky is a place where you go if you've done nothing wrong
If you've done nothing wrong
And down in the ground is a place where you go if you've been a bad boy
If you've been a bad boy 
Why can't we have eternal life and never die, never die, never die

Got a feeling inside - can't explain
A certain kind - can't explain
I feel hot and cold - can't explain
Yeah, down in my soul, yeah - can't explain
I said - can't explain
I'm feeling good now, yeah, but - can't explain

Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling bad
The things you've said have got me real mad
Gettin' funny dreams again and again
I know what it means, but

Can't explain, I think it's love
Try to say it to you when I feel blue
But I can't explain - can't explain
Yeah, ya hear what I'm saying, girl - can't explain

Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling bad
Things you've said have got me real mad

But I can't explain - can't explain
You give me one more time, now, baby - can't explain

I said I can't explain, yeah, baby, yeah
Drive me out of my mind
Yeah, I'm the worrying kind, yeah
I said - can't explain


Thank you, thank you very much

Our first gig in England for a very long time
Well, it seems like a long time
Actually it's about a month and a half, two months
And it's really great to play in England again
This is, uh - we been over with the Germans, you know

Food poison in the sauerkraut

They're very tough actually
This one is a rock and roll song done by a guy called, uh, Benny Speldman
If any ya ever heard of him
But I'm sure you've heard of The Rolling Stones, cos they done it
And The Merseybeats - oh, yeah, The Merseybeats, they did it
And Wayne Fontana, he did it
And now we do it, it's one called Fortune Teller

Our's is the most important version


Went to the fortune teller to have my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her, I had a dizzy feeling in my head
Said she'd take a look at my palm
Said, "Son do you feel kind of warm?"
And she looked into her crystal ball
Said, "You're in love, love."

Said it could not be so, not with all the girls I know
Said when the next one arrives, be looking into her eyes

I left there in a hurry, lookin' forward to my big surprise
Next day I discovered the fortune teller told me lies
I ran back down to that woman mad as I could be
Told her I didn't see nobody, that she made a fool out of me
At last something shook me as if it came down from above
Lookin' at the fortune teller I fell in love, love

Me and my brother were talking to each other
Bout what makes a man a man
Is it brain or brawn or the month you were born
We just couldn't understand
Our old man didn't like our appearance
He said that only women wear long hair

So me and my brother borrowed money from mother
We knew what we had to do
We went downstairs past the barber and gymnasium
And got our arms tattooed

Welcome to my life tattoo
I'm a man now, thanks to you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin-graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die - tattoo

My dad beat me cos mine said mother
But my mother naturally liked it
And beat my brother cos his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
And she thought that was extremely rude

Welcome to my life tattoo
I'm a man now, thanks to you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin-graft man won't get you
Be there when I die - tattoo

Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed too
A-roody-to-to
Rooty-tooty-to-to
Rooty-tooty-to
Tattoo too, to you

Uh, we like to carry on now
And play a song originally recorded by Mose Allison
Who's really a jazz musician
And I did read something on one of his record covers
That said he was a jazz sage
And, uh, quite what that means I don't know, uh

Flavor of chicken

And, anyway, we picked up quite a number of his songs
Eyesight To The Blind, which is on the Tommy album
We picked up from him and also this song
Which I think has got to be one of his best
It's one of his own compositions, which he wrote when he was about 40

Teenager - just a mere teenager and he called it Young Man Blues


A well a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days
I said a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days

Well, you know, in the old days when a young man was a strong man
All the people, they stepped back when a young man walked by

But you know, nowadays, it's the old man who's got all the money
And a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days 
I say, ain't got nothing

Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothing
Ooh, yeah, young man

Everybody knows, everybody knows
In the old days everybody stepped back when a young man walked, walked by
They stepped back, they stepped back, they stepped back

Nowadays if you're the young man
You ain't got nothing in the world these days
I say it, you ain't got nothing
They got sweet fuck all


Thank you

We like to play three hit singles from our past for ya
And, uh, we don't do that one, sorry

Three selected hit singles, the three easiest
Uh, there's Substitute, which we like very much - thank you

That was our first #4
And, uh, Happy Jack, which was our first, first #1 in Germany
Brump-bump-bump-bump-brump-bump-bump-bump
And, funny enough, our first big hit record in the States
And I'm A Boy, which according to the - thank you
According to The Melody Maker was our first #1 in England
I think for bout half an hour

Alright, here we go, starting off with Substitute
Put them cigarettes out


You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather
I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
Look bloody young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

Substitute your lies for fact
I see right through your plastic mac
I look all white but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
North side of my town faced east and the east was facing south
Now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by

Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done

I substitute your lies for fact
I see right through your plastic mac
I look all white but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

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 in their furry donkey

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 couldn't stop Jack or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

But they couldn't stop Jack or the waters 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 couldn't stop Jack or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

I saw ya

One girl was called Jean Marie
Another little girl was called Felicity
Another little girl was Sally Joy
The other was me and I'm a boy

My name is Bill and I'm a head case
They practice making up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend days just taking hairpins from my hair

I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am I get it

Put your frock on, Jean Marie
Plait your hair, Felicity
Paint your nails little Sally Joy
Put this wig on, little boy

I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am I get it

I wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the street
Cut myself and see my blood
I wanna come home all covered in mud

I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy


Thank you, thank you very much

We'd like to do for ya now the, uh, little set of numbers
Which we call Tommy's parents
As you've probably read in the musical papers
And if we've ever played for any of you before
You probably know this piece of repartee that I'm just about to embark on

It's the story of our mini-opera
And this mini-opera was something which we did on our second album
And, uh, in a way for, in it's time it was adventurous
Cos it was one story which took six different themes of music
And the story, uh, is about a girl guide who was seduced

Get 'em off ya

By an old engine driver
And it's, you know, social comment thing
And, uh, John Entwistle plays the engine driver, the seducer

The black raper - ah, yes

And I play the girl guide - later, later - later

And, and, uh, the seduction takes place
While the girl guide's boyfriend is away from home
And, uh, she's weeping because he's been away so long
And some of her friends say, "We have a remedy."
And you'll here that chorus We Have A Remedy
And the rem, the remedy, the remedy is, uh, of course the old engine driver
Who's a randy old bastard
And, uh, they, they know that with, with him she'll be alright
And, uh, so what happens is, uh, they, uh, they fornicate

And - what's that, what's that Pete
I thought it was a little station outside Chippanoga

No, no, no - that's the trouble always sittin' here in the back
He always gets off at the wrong stop

Anyway, this, this seduction is rather lengthy
And because it's so long the, uh, boyfriend, who is very, very late indeed
And he deserves what he gets, nevertheless
He comes in right in the middle of the seduction
And he catches the couple in the act
And, uh, I'd like you now to imagine the scene

Little Grettle garden - assemble the musicians

And, uh, the reason the seduction takes so long is because Ivor
As, he's an engine driver, naturally, doesn't come on time

Oh blimey, it's takin' longer than usual
He's lookin' at the watch he got for his retirement, you see
All covered in soot

Anyway, in he comes, the boyfriend, catches 'em - ah ha

All over me best Persian - 'orrible

But, instead of rebuking them duely - he joins in - duely rebuking them
As it was ahead of it's time, and remember this was three years ago
Uh, we anticipated feeling of peace and love and pacifism
And all that kind of thing that were to come
Represented as, as, you know, in an ending of skin and revolt
And, uh, and such, such is life he forgives them
He sees them there and he fogives them
He love to watch that sort of thing

Anyway, we'll get on with it now, yeah
And, uh, welcome you to the Frankie Art's Show next time
And, uh, this is, we do feature, normally
We normally would feature Keith Moon singing
But today we'll just have to feature him

If you would like to stand, Keith
I would like, yes, okay now, is that it - yes
And, uh, it's called A Quick One, While He�s Away
Two, three


Her Man's Been Gone

Her man's been gone for nigh on 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

Little girl guide, why don't you stop your crying
Here comes Ivor, the engine driver to make you feel much better
Dirty old sod
That's it, steady on

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

It's like a dream to be with you again
Can't believe that I'm with you again

Mow, mow, mow, moo, mow, moo, mow, mow

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

Baby, forgiven

You are forgiven, you are forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven
Come on baby

We're all forgiven


Thank you very much indeed

We'd like to carry on with a rock and roll
Rock and roll song called Summertime Blues
Three, four


Yeah, I'm a gonna raise a fuss, I'm a gonna raise a holler
Bout workin' all summer just to try and earn a dollar
Well, I went to the boss, get off for a day
Well, the boss said, "No dice, son, you gotta work a late."  
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues 

Well my mom and papa told me, "Son you gotta earn some money
If you want to use the car to go riding next Sunday."
Well I wouldn't go to work, I told the boss I was sick 
He said, "You can't use the car cos you didn't work a late."  
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues 

Gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well, I went to my congressman, he said, quote
"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote."  
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues

When you move in right up close to me
That's when I get the shakes all over me
Quivers down my backbone
I got the shakes in the knee bone
Quivers in the thigh bone
Like I'm shakin' all over

That's what happens when you say goodnight to me
Bring this feeling all inside of me
Quivers down my backbone
I got the shakes in the knee bone
Quivers in the thigh bone
Like I'm shakin' all over

Yes, I'm shakin'
Come on

Quivers down my backbone
I got the shakes in the knee bone
Quivers in the thigh bone
Shakin' all over


Thank you

Uh, the next thing what's following is naturally after the mini-opera
It sounded like something from La Scalla
We like to go into the, uh, the pratta opera
And, uh, as soon as they flash their light at me
Splash, yeah, splash their light at me
We'll go into, uh, our rendition of Thomas

The pot opera - pop opera, rot op, rock opera
The rot-rock-otta, the rop otera
Assemble the musicians please

We're all here, it's all right
We begin with the Overture

It's an opera, isn't it - it's an opera, shut up
Seven


Captain Walker didn't come home
His unborn child would never know him
Believe him missing with a number of men
Don't expect to see him again

It's a boy, Mrs. Walker, it's a boy
It's a boy, Mrs. Walker, it's a boy

A son, a son, a son

Got a feeling '21 is gonna be a good year
Especially if you and me see it in together
So you think '21 is gonna be a good year
Could be good for me and her, but you and her, no, never
I had no reason to be over optimistic
But somehow when you smile I can brave bad weather

What about the boy, what about the boy
What about the boy, he saw it all

You didn't hear it, you didn't see it
You won't say nothing to no one ever in your life
You never heard it, how absurd it all seems without any proof
Didn't hear it, you didn't see it
You never heard it, not a word of it
You won't say nothing to no one
Never tell a soul what you know is the truth

Got a feeling '21 is gonna be a good year
Especially if you and me see it in together
Got a feeling '21 is gonna be a good year
Especially if you and me see it in together
I had no reason to be over optimistic
But somehow when you smile I could brave bad weather

What about the boy

Deaf, dumb and blind boy, he's in a quiet vibration land
Strange as it seems his musical dreams ain't quite so bad

Ten years old with thoughts as bold as thoughts can be
Loving life and becoming wise in simplicity

Sickness will surely take the mind where minds can't usually go
Come on the amazing journey and learn all you should know

Vague haze of delirium creeps up on me
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see
He's dressed in a silver sparkled glittering gown
And his golden beard flows nearly down to the ground

Nothing to say, nothing to hear and nothing to see
Each sensation makes a note in my symphony

Sickness will surely take the mind where minds can't usually go
Come on the amazing journey and learn all you should know

His eyes are the eyes that transmit all they know
Sparkle warm crystalline glances to show
He is your leader, he is your guide
On the amazing journey together you'll ride

INSTRUMENTAL

You talk about your woman, I wish you could see mine
You talk about your woman, I wish you could see mine
Every time she starts to lovin' she brings eyesight to the blind

You know her daddy gave her magic, I can tell by the way she walks
You know her daddy gave her magic, I can tell by the way she walks
Every time she start to shakin' the dumb begin to talk

She's got the power to heal you, never fear
Oh, she's got the power to heal you, never fear
Just a word from her lips, the deaf begin to hear

Did you ever see the faces of the childen, they get so excited
Waking up on Christmas morning hours before the winter sun's ignited
They believe in dreams and all they mean including heaven's generosity
Peeping round the door to see what parcels are for free in curiosity

And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
How can he be saved from the eternal grave

Tommy, can you hear me
Tommy, can you hear me
Tommy, can you hear me
Tommy, can you hear me
Tommy, can you hear me
Can you, can you hear me
How can he be saved

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me

Tommy, can you hear me
Tommy, can you hear me
Tommy, can you hear me
Tommy, can you hear me
Tommy, can you hear me
Can you, can you, can you hear me
How can he be saved

Did you ever see the faces of the childen, they get so excited
Waking up on Christmas morning hours before the winter sun's ignited
They believe in dreams and all they mean including heaven's generosity
Peeping round the door to see what parcels are for free in curiosity

And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
How can he be saved from the eternal grave

If your child ain't all he should be now this girl will put him right
I'll show you what he could be now, just give me one night
I'm the Gypsy, the Acid Queen - pay before we start
The Gypsy, I'm guaranteed to tear your soul apart

Give us a room, close the door, leave us for awhile
Your boy won't be a boy no more - young, but not a child
I'm the Gypsy, the Acid Queen - pay before we start
The Gypsy, I'm guaranteed to tear your soul apart

Gather your wits and hold on fast
Your mind must learn to roam
Just as the Gypsy Queen must do
You gotta hit the road

My work is done, now look at him, he's never been more alive
His head it shakes, his fingers clutch, watch his body writhe
I'm the Gypsy, the Acid Queen - pay before we start
I'm the Gypsy, I'm guaranteed to break your little heart

If your child ain't all he should be now this girl will put him right
I'll show you what he could be now, just give me one night
I am the Gypsy, Acid Queen - pay before we start
The Gypsy, I'm guaranteed to tear your soul apart

Ever since I was a young boy I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton, I must've played 'em all
But I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers, always playing clean
Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

He's a pinball wizard, has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's, got such a supple wrist

How do you think he does it - I don't know
What makes him so good

Ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzers and bells
Don't see no lights a-flashin', plays by sense of smell
Always gets the replay, never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

I thought I was the Bally table king
But I just handed my pinball crown to him

Even on my favorite table he can beat my best
His disciples lead him in and he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers, never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

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

I think it's alright
Do you think it's alright - I think it's alright
I think it's alright

I'm your wicked Uncle Ernie
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

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
Fiddle, fiddle, fiddle
Fiddle, fiddle, fiddle
Fiddle, fiddle, fiddle

Tommy can you hear me, can you feel me near you
Tommy can you see me, can I help to cheer you
Ooh Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy

Tommy can you hear me, can you feel me near you
Tommy can you see me, can I help to cheer you
Ooh Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy
Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy

Tommy

There's a man I've found could bring us all joy
There's a doctor in town could cure the boy
Doctor in town can cure the boy

There's a man I've found could remove his sorrow
He lives in this town, let's see him tomorrow
Let's see him tomorrow

He seems to be completely unreceptive
The tests I gave him show no sense at all
His eyes react to light, the dials detect it
He hears but cannot answer to your call

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me

There is no chance, no untried operation
All hope lies with him and none with me
Imagine though the shock from isolation
When he suddenly can hear and speak and see

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me

His eyes can see, his ears can hear, his lips speak
All the time the needles flick and rock
No machine can give the kind of stimulation
Needed to remove his inner block

Go to the mirror, boy
Go to the mirror, boy

I often wonder what he is feeling
Has he ever heard a word I've said
Look at him in the mirror dreaming
What is happening in his head

Listening to you I get the music, gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain, I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions, on you I see the glory
From you I get opinions, from you I get the story

What is happening in his head
Ooh, I wish I knew, I wish I knew

You don't answer my call with even a nod or a wink
But you gaze at your own reflection, alright
You don't seem to see me but I think you can see yourself
How does the mirror affect you

Can you hear me or do I surmise
That you fear me, can you feel my temper rise
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise

Do you hear or fear or do I smash the mirror
Do you hear or fear or do I smash the mirror

Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced
That Sally couldn't go to the meeting
He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce and she ran inside a-weeping
She got to her room and tears splashed the picture of her new messiah
She picked up a book of her father's life and threw it on the fire

She knew from the start deep down in her heart
She and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part is to be what you'll be."

The theme of the sermon was, "Come unto me and love will find a way."
So Sally decided to ignore her dad and sneak out anyway
She spent all afternoon getting ready and decided she'd try to touch him
Maybe he'd see that she was free and talk to her this Sunday

She knew from the start deep down in her heart
She and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part is to be what you'll be."

She arrived at six and the place was swinging to gospel music by nine
Group after group appeared on the stage and Sally just sat there crying
She bit her nails looking pretty as a picture right in the very front row
Then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge ran on and said, "Here we go!"

The crowd went crazy as Tommy hit the stage
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed the crowd back in a rage

Soon the atmosphere was cooler and Tommy gave a lesson
Sally just had to let him know she loved him and leapt up on the rostrum
She ran cross stage to the spotlit figure and brushed him on the face
Tommy whirled round as a uniformed man threw her off the stage

She knew from the start deep down in her heart
She and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part is to be what you'll be."

Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down, mingling with her tears
Tommy carried on preaching and his voice filled Sally's ears
She caught his eye, she had to try, but he couldn't see through the lights
Her face was gashed and the ambulance men had to carry her out that night

The crowd went crazy as Tommy left the stage
Little Sally got lost for the price of a touch and a gash across her face 

Sixteen stitches put her right and her dad said
"Don't say I didn't warn ya."
Sally got married to a rock musician she met in California
Tommy always talks about the day the disciples all went wild
Sally still carries a scar on her cheek to remind her of his smile

She knew from the start deep down in her heart
She and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part is to be what you'll be."

I'm free, I'm free
And freedom tastes of reality
I'm free, I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me

If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high
You'd laugh and say, "Nothing's that simple."
But you've been told many times before messiah's point you to the door
No one had the guts to leave the temple

I'm free, I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me

I'm free, I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me

How can we follow, how can we follow
How can we follow, hey

Good morning campers
I'm your Uncle Ernie and I welcome you to Tommy's Holiday Camp
The camp with a difference, never mind the weather
When you come to Tommy's the holiday's forever, ah, ha, ha, ha, ha

The camp with a difference, never mind the weather
When you come to Tommy's the holiday's forever, woo, hoo, wee, ha, ha, ha, ha

Welcome

Welcome to the camp, I guess you all know why we're here
My name is Tommy and I became aware this year
If you want to follow me you've got to play pinball
And put in your ear plugs, put on your eye shades
You know where to put the cork

Hey you gettin' drunk, so sorry I got you sussed
Hey you smokin' mother nature this is a bust
Hey hung up old Mr. Normal, don't try to gain my trust
Cos you ain't gonna follow me any of those ways
Although you think you must

We're not gonna take it, we're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it, we're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it - never did and never will
We're not gonna take you
Gonna break it, gonna shake it, let's forget it better still

Now you can't hear me, your ears are truly sealed
You can't speak either cos your mouth is filled
You can't see nothin' and pinball completes the scene
Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to your very own machine

We're not gonna take it, we're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it, we're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it - never did and never will
Don't want no religion and as far as we can tell
We not gonna take you - never did and never will
We're don't have to take you
We forsake you, gonna rape you, let's forget you better still
We forsake you, gonna rape you, let's forget you better still

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me

Listening to you I get the music, gazing at you I get the heat

Right behind you I see the millions, on you I see the glory
From you I get opinions, from you I get the story
