The Who Medley (BBC Session, 12.03.1971) |
| I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth |
| The north side of my town faced east and the east was facing south |
| But I’m a substitute for another guy |
| Look pretty tall but my heels are high |
| The simple things you say are all complicated |
| Look pretty young but I’m just backdated, yeah |
| (Substitute) Me for him |
| (Substitute) My coke for gin |
| (Substitute) You for my mum |
| (Substitute) At least I’ll get my washing done |
| Girl, you think you had a-lovin' |
| Girl, you think you had fun |
| Girl, you never seen nothin' |
| 'Til I-I-I-I give you |
| Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah… |
| Yeah, I’m a daddy, I’m a daddy |
| Daddy rolling stone (Daddy rolling stone) |
| Happy Jack wasn’t old, but he was a man |
| He lived on the sands of the Isle of Man |
| The kids couldn’t hurt Jack |
| They tried, tried, tried |
| They dropped things on his back |
| They tried, tried, tried, tried, tried |
| But they couldn’t stop Jack, or the waters lapping (Ooh, lap lap lap lap lap |
| lap lap lap) |
| And they couldn’t prevent Jack from being happy (La-la-la) |
| Pictures of Lily |
| Lily oh Lily |
| Lily oh Lily! |
| Pictures of Lily |
| People try to put us down (Talkin' bout my generation) |
| Just because we don’t get around (Talkin' bout my generation) |
| The things they do look awful c-c-c-cold (Talkin' bout my generation) |
| Hope I die before I get old (Talkin' bout my generation) |
| Talkin' bout my generation (My generation) |
| Talkin' bout my generation (My generation, oh) |
| Talkin' bout my generation (Oh) |
| 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 |
| Ooh-ooh, can’t explain |
| I’m feeling good t’night, yeah (Can't explain) |
| Ooh-ooh, can’t explain |
